Don't often play online mulitplayer games, but Chivalry 2 was free on PSN, and I've been enjoying it. In general people are fine, its mostly just chaos everywhere.

It happens pretty rarely overall, but i was suprised that people still teabag. It just seems lame and tired to me, and i would have thought people would have gotten over doing that by now. It's not like something that makes me mad, i just find it juvenile and dumb. Plus its extra silly in a game like Chivalry with 64 players and most of your deaths are like 5 players attacking you at once and one guy you can't see hits you in the back lol

Thoughts on this dirty g*mers of hexbear?

Edit: TL/DR because i don't think teabagging is funny, i get called an "ultra" and told that maybe the internet is just not for me lol

      I never found it funny. I always thought it was dumb. I can better understand how it might have been funny to some people when it was new like 15, 20 years ago cause at least it was a new thing. The fact that its a "sacred tradition" of "G*amer culture" is one of many reasons why the "culture" is a dumpster fire

          I was exaggerating when i said "sacred tradition", but after seeing all the push back on this post, i think i may have been unintentionally right. I get the novelty of it when halo furst came out. I just thought it was weird that people were still doing it like 20 years later.

    it's ironic at this point, for whats its worth. its like "lmao remember when we were all dumb kids playing call of duty and we'd teabag each other?" except it's hard to communicate that because the action that's supposed to be communicating it is literally just teabagging.

    idk maybe you need to be a zoomer

      That's worth nothing, then.

      "Irony" is far more often than not a thin and mostly transparent mask to justify being an asshole. :debord-tired:

    Games should add a "dab" button so you can do that instead of teabagging

      :michael-laugh: at least it would be something new! This game and a lot of games have tons of emotes now, so theres no reason to teabag. I remember playing destiny and people would dance on you dead body, which was generally more amusing than annoying.

        doing preapproved button press actions is lamer than something organic that wasn't designed into the game. It's like sword-blocking in Minecraft (before they replaced that with shields).

        You literally said people should just use the built in emotes elsewhere in the thread.

          Saying people can use emotes instead of teabagging, is not the same as saying "you can only use prebuilt emotes or you are engaging in game crime!!!"

            Stop right there criminal scum! Using the crouch command that close to another players dead body could be interpreted as juvenile or dumb! That kind of behavior is unacceptable in this looks at scroll playground swordfight simulator.

            It kinda sounds like you should stay off the internet. Things that are juvenile are fun. Things that are dumb are funny.

                I’m not trying to tell you to get out or anything rude like that, strictly in the context of online games you might oughta avoid em or stick to private servers, the Doritos(r) lobby or whatever. The kind of matchmaking with strict conduct rules.

                If it’s important for someone who just pretend smashed your head in with a Morningstar to then not pretend squat his nuts on your pretend corpse then it’s probably time to avail yourself of some of that psn juice and get a dedicated friends list of digital reenactors who take the game seriously.

                Maybe you’re the guy that reports people. It’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it. Without brave players reporting their fellows how would the mods know who to ban?

                    You made a thread on a forum about how you don’t like people being juvenile and dumb in a game you play then replied fifty times.

                    I’m just saying that unless you’re up in the stream room jacking off to abuse why not take some of the steps built in to the platform you’re on to rectify that situation.

                    I’m not even making fun of you at this point. A reenactment lobby for that game would be cool, like model train meetups.

    I hate that it's part of G*MER CULTURE ™️ to be a toxic gross sexist manbaby and the teabagging and m'laying is amped up to 11 if god forbid a woman says hello on voice chat.

      Yeah, G*mer "culture" is gross, and I've never liked it. I was (stupidly of course) looking at reddit to see who thought teabagging was lame at this point and found tons of responses defending it as part of the "culture" and dumb shit like "its war bro". Its a silly game. Its fun to play, you are not being "dominate" by teabagging you're a weirdo

      I've noticed the most aggressive teabaggers tend to be the ones with the pettiest justifications to do so. They're rarely the actually good at the game types as far as I've seen.

        The people who're good at the game are actually playing and having fun. The edgy moron tea-bagging is just being a griefer because they suck.

      Any multiplayer is implicitly a test of your soft skills. Toxic players can either git gud at being decent humans or go back to campaign mode.

    The only game I play is Battlefield and I always teabag someone with a 88 or 14 in their username. It's okay if you got a good kill or outplayed someone in my opinion.

            It’s kinda sad tbh so many fellow users here are okay with tbagging. It’s sexual harassment and it’s not okay, ask any gaming journalist this and they will agree with me.
