The art of the teabag. Yes, teabagging, that’s what we’re talking about this morning. First, let me explain teabagging for our readers who don’t understand what it is. After which, you and yours can debate whether or not teabagging another player in a multiplayer game is sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Teabagging has nothing to do with mint tea, as you likely guessed. Instead, it is when a male takes his balls and places them over someone’s head to form what appears as a, yes, you guessed it, teabag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In gaming, teabagging tends to occur when a player dies. Another player teabags the dead character as a way to humiliate the deceased, no longer active player. Its been going on for a while now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, one way to prevent teabagging is by not dying. Which means getting better at the game. If you get teabagged a lot, you might not be so good at the games you play. But I digress, because how well someone plays a video game isn’t what’s up for discussion here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is up for debate is whether or not teabagging another gamer’s dead character is sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two distinct teabagging camps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who find teabagging super funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who find teabagging as super sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These diametrically opposed camps are arguing online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The art of teabagging in gaming, particularly in first-person shooter games, has been around for a very long time. At least, more than a decade. Teabagging a defeated player is rooted into gaming culture at deep levels. There’s even videos that teach teabagging styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
