Tea-bagging bannable

Teabagging, in my opinion, is comparable to pulling someone's pants down. It's essentially okay as long as everyone is laughing with friends. The victim may feel hurt or embarrassed, but there is always a possibility for them to avenge themselves afterward. If you pull down someone's pants in a group of guys who don't really know each other but are all laughing, there's likely to be great applause and a nice team-building activity taking place. You know you've gone too far if you pull down a woman's pants.

Naturally, teasing someone does not involve removing their pants. When someone is lying on the ground, either dead or dying, it is customary to kneel down over their avatar. I suppose their lips would be the teacup if the teabags were your balls. It is a profoundly patriarchal act, one that is influenced by sexual domination. Most of the time, teabagging doesn't cause much of a fuss. You observed this at Fate Legion while playing with friends and laughing, and you were shocked—possibly outraged—to learn that you had been disqualified. Again, I find it to be fairly absurd. But there are also instances when it's more significant, and it's an indication of how toxic things are when no discussion of the subject is tolerated.

I'm sorry but who is genuinely getting their feelings hurt from being teabagged? I understand that it can be unpleasant to be taunted with someone's pixelated ass on your face (or in this case, pile of ash? seriously?) but going so far as to want it to be bannable? People will taunt and be taunted. It's a part of playing games, always has been and always will be. Maybe Intrepid should put a warning up as Kilion suggested.

Anyone thinking this is actually something to seriously think about before the core mechanics of the game are done might be better off playing minesweeper or tetris.

Don't do Tetris like that! :'(

The Op & his ilk, are the type of kiddies who go looking for a reason to cry.

Anything they can find to be offended by, then cry.
