Teabagside 2 : Planetside 2's growing teabag culture

It's largely because of the long swaths of nothing to do

I never understood teabagging. I prefer doing donuts on corpses and honking the horn on my Harasser. Sure, you can't see the tiremarks on your chest cavity, but you can hear the sweet sweet whale-song of my fog horn while you respawn...

Nah, people are d*cks. FPS are good at drawing those types of people in.

FPS hahahaha every game and anyone who can call them selves players.

People are just lucky I can't prone.

I've actually seen less of that than at the start of the game.

I love the ones who teabag your corpse when they did nothing to kill you. I sit there with a "ummm... okay" expression on my face.

I teabag relentlessly.

In fact, I'm teabagging this thread.

I usually just jump up and down on them. Much more sanitary, much more efficient.

Plus, what gives them the right to gaze upon my glorious terran undercarriage?

As long as it's not on a public computer.

Problem is that you just go to the map screen so no one can see.

Teabagging in PS2 is pointless (yeah tbagging in other games has meaning)

You should watch Fails of the Weak on Roosterteeth every Friday. They have tons of footage where somebody goes in for a teabag and they get ran over, shot, or back stabbed for not paying attention. One of my personal favorites was a guy who spawned a decoy, got shot and killed, and his own hologram teabagged him.

The other key thing is, on your screen their T-bagging the ground a meter away from your corpses feet because your corpse fell different on their end. So it just looks silly.

I would tea bag



But thankfully I'm older than Six now

It may be a toxic contagion started by one angry immature gamer, who got the guy he teabagged to start doing it to other people, and it spread like a disease.

I saw this one once, zero times, only a week or so ago. There was hostility and insults and stuff like that from time to time but not this teabagging kiddie crap.

I have no better explanation than that, but I know that the MLG culture definitely brings more of this along with it.

It did "leave" or wasn't here to begin with up until very recently.

Side thought, it's odd that the most common teabaggers had nothing to be triumphant about.

Examples: "zomg I'm with a huge vanu swarm and someone else killed you! My ZOE MAX will run with glittering and sparkling and teabag you because I pwned you too, in spirit!"

I also wonder if most of them know what it actually is and what undertones it carries or are just dumbly following the crowd ..

Most likely it's the herd mentality. You can't be in the uber1337PrOMLG360noscope420wears-white-on-Indar club without teabagging for no reason. It's a requirement to be cool.

This may very well be why it's happening.

I see a generation of young people that are like fluid: they fill whatever vessel they occupy and take its shape, with no form of their own. They chase whatever meme is "funny" this year, and wear it down to exhaustion. They semi-consciously try to look like everyone else because standing out is scary. So, when the "elite" act like angry children in games, they do the same, and it's easy anyway because of lack of social and emotional development.

Hell, this statement I just made is inevitably going to get a "wow u uze big wurdz ur college degree iz worthless lol enjoy flipping burgers" memetic insult slung at is.
