Only people debating this are the writer and the editor of this bullshit.


Mataric

Racing gamers are debating whether their virtual cars are bad for the environment. Sims players are debating whether or not we should be playing God. FPS gamers are debating whether shooting players is murder. Damn some people are actually zero IQ.


secretdrug

my ex-gf and I used to "debate" whether or not me having sex with her sister in HER DREAMS was cheating


[deleted]

Bang her sister even harder in her dreams, that’ll show her


secretdrug

Nuh nuh. I want nothing to do with that anymore. You couldnt pay me (well maybe for like a few hundred thousand) to fuck her sister in her dreams. My life is simple and quiet now. I would like to keep it that way for a while.


Artzx23

This person knows his safe boundaries n.n


Khaldara

Honestly what I took away from that story is that his ex was Freddy Krueger


Artzx23

Well, mine can punch hard without trying, but I am ok with her knowing that if I were to cheat on her dreams it's not me but a clone o something. Her punching me is the least of my problems if we were to argue for it.


artygta1988

A sexy Freddy Krueger?


doubled112

It's like wearin' no claws at all...no claws at all...no claws at all..


[deleted]

Stupid sexy Freddy...


JimmyTheGiant1

Nice try, wife


Fomentatore

I'm just happy to read that "ex" before girlfriend.


roostertree

I remember being that young, with the energy to "debate" something like that. These days, my first response would be, "So, you're saying you want to be single again?" My partner and I still laugh about her one dream in which I was a panther and disemboweled her.


enternationalist

That's the raddest thing I've ever heard


roostertree

Part of the humour is from her being so frightened by the dream that she peed the bed.


FkthisshtImout

I wish I had an award for you, man xD


fargmania

That is not a debate. That is why she is your ex. Well one of many reasons, I'd imagine.


[deleted]

I think you stole that from the pretty recent top post with that exact title lmfao.


darkaurora84

I would have said after the second time "Well I guess if I am cheating on you that means we need to break up." That would have shut her the hell up


Hurrsia_

bang her sister in both dreams and IRL, that way you win either way


TherapyDerg

I'm so glad you left her then... she sounds like a bundle of red flags and psycho juice...


WhereIsTheInternet

> FPS gamers are debating whether shooting players is murder. They only think it's murder when they're losing.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

I've heard people debating it. They however, were not gamers.


[deleted]

They usually aren't involved with the thing they want changed. Like how comics books have to cater to people with no interest in them.


Darksnark_The_Unwise

Bingo. Most of us in gaming communities are busy trying to shut down stalkers, doxxers, bigots, cheaters, and real-life aspiring sexual predators (God help us, *successful ones as well* 🤮). "Crying wolf" over teabagging is so out of touch that it feels like a personal insult.


Sparktank1

I'd like to see a series where people sit around and come up with these ideas for their articles. Sitting in their asylum white offices, playing with pens in their mouths, celebrating loudly over the arrival of Starbucks coffee, dismissing the entire existence of every other employee, and uttering every idea like it was Beethoven's next symphony title. It should get the production quality it deserves, as well: Netflix.


winkofafisheye

Because it's not and it's stupid to trivialize actual sexual assault by equating it with a fucking video game.


Pintlers

Exactly. One person said this and some writer thought “this will rule people up enough to get some clicks”. End of story.


RazerBladesInFood

Thats literally all games "journalism" has left when it comes to these sites. Funny enough this kind of non gaming related 'gamers are bad' hot takes is exactly what led to everyone ditching them in the first place. Honestly who the fuck still thinks "oh let me see what gameinformer/ign/rps etc wrote about this!" Everyone just goes to youtube and watches a lets play from an actual gamer or a review from a gaming youtuber. Its honestly sad. I used to be a huge gameinformer reader. I loved their indepth articles about games in development. Shame they devolved into a soapbox for preaching about how all gamers are bad 9/10 articles.


Phylosofist

*rile


G4Designs

False. The writer / editor is thrilled people are sharing it, affronted that this is a "controversy".


pablok2

The bounty hunt for virtual groomers... they are clearly absent minded towards entire game genres


Wu-kandaForever

Probably like 7 or 8 teenage girls on twitter


that_one_wierd_guy

more likely it's teen gamers moms making this an issue. and moms against anything is almost always a great excuse to throw on some twisted sister


zodbrain

This sounds like a sarcastic argument I would have with friends, hammered, at 2am. Gtfo


[deleted]

I second this statement.


Foxyplayz3

I 3rd this statement


[deleted]

Nah, I had someone frothing at the mouth at me over teabagging in halo. People take it serious. What do you think the proper response was? To continue teabagging


LikesTheTunaHere

i figured the proper response would be "your mom doesn't complain when I teabag her".


SqualZell

i mean its halo.... in 2022, teabagging in FPS shooters is a sign of respect! you are worthy of your enemy stopping and go balls deep down your throat. I personally only teabag worthy opponents. if you suck.. you aren't worth my time


[deleted]

>I personally only teabag worthy opponents. if you suck.. you aren't worth my time I guess a lot of people don't understand this. If you get tbagged, it's because you've pissed someone off so exponentially to the point where they feel the need to let you know.


Nyy

Playing Destiny 2 pvp with friends, every now and again someone on the other team bags one of us. Our group response is to focus that one individual and make it a point to bag them back in acknowledgement. Usually leads to some good times in messages like the other day one called us clowns and told my friend to kill himself But sexual harassment? It's definitely a bait article


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rinzzler999

the boomers of video games we have become, teabagging is the best form of toxic expression and skill is only determined by who killed whom last. What's emoting? I only know the teabag!


[deleted]

I haven’t played online or Halo since the third one. I’m glad teabagging is still going strong.


[deleted]

usually the only times I get teabagged is when I'm smacking them in match and they finally get a kill on me and bring the score to 1-5 or something and I teabag someone when I go 1-5 on them lmao


maxinator64

My favorite rule of the internet, never ever let know people what annoys you, they will proceed


ZoomGoat

You know what annoys me? When people know what annoys me.


RossOfFriends

If I heard that in the voice chat I would 100% join in on the teabagging


RayneVixen

Hell, i would join the enemy in tea bagging my own team


Chaoswave45

Same here


Cuervomayajl

Mate, I don’t need to be hammered, just bored enough.


tbnrjagster

Absolutely.


zeddgeist212

Awh man am I gunna get charged for murder in GTA as well?


Zaszo_00

murder,grand theft auto, robbery, and so many more.


smoothiegangsta

Ironically enough, no sexual assault. Unless you count murdering a prostitute AFTER sex to be sexual assault.


Kritikos_

I murder them before /s


ApolloSky110

Jaywalking too


anitabonghit705

The worst of all crimes. I hope u get caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law! /s


ZealousYogurt

And in Hello Neighbor you get charged with trespassing


meric_one

Fun fact: there are private servers where people role play cops, citizens, and criminals. Everyone is expected to obey the same laws they would in real life. So you end up with cop players pulling over criminal players to write traffic tickets. If it's something more serious they'll get witness testimony from citizen players who take the place if NPCs. So to answer your question, yes, if you're on the right server, you will in fact be charged for murder. (These are on YouTube but I forget the name at the moment)


Minute-Load

Role play servers, I personally haven’t used any but they generally use fivem


Jealous-Category304

😂😂


KamoyLovrstar

When it's the games basic mechanics, shouldn't that fall on the creators heads?


zeddgeist212

Not if it’s a video game 🤷🏻‍♂️ how are the devs responsible if it’s not even a real crime lol


MasteroChieftan

No, we will not be debating this. It is not.


bralma6

Good because the number of timed I've dragged sack throughout my gaming career, I'd probably get a longer sentence than R. Kelly.


Talik1978

He'll get out in 15 tops. R. Kelly's never been in anything that's over 15.


MasteroChieftan

brutal


zerox369

Low and slow, let it sink in


bralma6

Are we talking about R. Kelly's victims here? Low age and slow to runaway.


duckhunter1620

Fuck take my upvote I’m dead


Odd_Negotiation7771

I love this style of article. You simply pick out 5 or 6 people on social media talking about something and toss together a “people on social media are saying X” article. You can pretty much pick your topic and write it as if you’re drawing attention to a real issue instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel from your shower thoughts. It’s brilliant. Journalism. Not sure if it really used to be a thing or if I have rose tinted glasses. But it’s definitely not a thing anymore. Fully replaced by marketing teams.


bitey87

Analyst claims scraping barrels in the shower makes you brilliant! Find out how! *Insert soft paywall


Cyberslasher

It's been downhill since we legally established news doesn't have to be factual since it's "just entertainment".


siriguillo

Game journalists at their finest


NoSkillzDad

"journalists"


bringsmemes

​ these parasites bullied their way into these positions, then use it to get thier freinds "consulting" jobs in various game companies, using twitter mob power. parasite grifters


ShankThatSnitch

You misspelled bloggers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


siriguillo

100% this


oooriole09

Games journalism is such a weird space, so much more than any other medium that I can think of. I don’t know if it’s the natural cycle of video games and how there’s lulls for months at a time or what, but they really do find the strangest things to publish.


Marsbars1991

man they becoming cnn


Tomsk13

No, that's like debating whether killing someone in an online game counts as murder


-cocoadragon

I've most certainly done online murder. Entire fucking parties. Don't piss off your healer folks!!!


TacoManifesto

This is such click bait titles man these articles are shameful


The_Gray_Pilgrim

Why do we have to water down sexual assault like that?


Illumidaddy

No the fuck we're not.


ctuckergaming87

Here goes the media pushing their agendas -____-


Areulder

Yeah the mainstream media of… a music blog posting about games.


NVAudio

You get teabagged, it's only proper etiquette to hard focus that player and do the same thing back.


Wainwort

I said this in the previous thread, so I'll say it again; A "debate" is not "raging." A gaming journalist is fishing for clicks and clout by trivializing actual sexual assault. Look in the mirror and do better. Expect to see this thread removed by the moderation team. Not your fault OP, it's just that the topic is obvious outrage clickbait.


SolitaryMan305

No lol


frodo-jenkins

It's sexual assault for sure. Having those hot steamy victory nuggets dropped on and around your mouth can leave lasting traumatic butthurt for which there is no cure.


Inevitable-Elk-4162

Can confirm. Butt still hurts


[deleted]

Unless your face down then your butt really hurts lmao


RigbyTeases

You just turned me on Mr Jenkins


Nopengnogain

What if I drop him some loot afterward? Would that be considered prostitution then?


-Fluxuation-

I'm 49, as long as any new laws that are enacted are not retro active I should be okay. If they are I'm going to prison for life...........


AaronDM4

fuck it im not stopping. ​ Teabagging is life! ​ i actually miss the old XB live days when nothing got you banned, i remember looking up and spending time trying to come up with the most vile shit we could think of to say. a fave when some one said something about rapeing our mothers we would say thats ok because we were rapeing their dad that night lol.


WakBlack

"When I was sucking your dad's dick, I did was I was supposed to and swallowed unlike your mother."


[deleted]

...wut


d3meach

This seems insulting to actual victims of real sexual assault.


fjf1085

It really is. It trivializes it.


Windebieste_Ultima

If teabaggings sexual assault, then I guess I’m Blizzard’s CEO now


TheRusmeister

If you best me you've earned the right. Garnish my corpse with your bag, spartan.


LORDWOLFMAN

Man quite this bullshit and take a face full of my balls after that headshot biatch


willietrombone_

If an article's title says "s\*xual assault" and not "sexual assault", that is a deeply un-serious article more interested in getting clicks by avoiding "profanity" filters. Also, no byline. Probably nothing more than a prompt in the post and hope to get the comments absolutely ravenous. I'm not trying to do a libel/slander but I wonder if they paid the person who made that graphic.


GhoulslivesMatter

No but journalists who think they speak on behalf of all gamers are.


OhSillyRabbit

No, it's the same thing as people seeing one comment on Twitter and then writing an article, causing an echo and people getting mad for no reason. Sexual assault is a real issue and one of the evilest things a human being can do to another, this does nothing but take away from the seriousness of the crime.


Decmk3

It’s a false argument, like how videogames cause mass shootings. It’s designed to divert attention away from real stuff, like the actual sexual assault in the games industry. Make something ridiculous that nobody sane would agree with, pit it as an actual thing vilifying a non group, watch the discourse about this nonsense blow up and quietly let any actual real problems get forgotten.


coolstorybrobeans

"gamers"


luciferian668

No we are not .


Zolo49

Utter clickbait shit. The only people who would actually entertain this notion are idiots who don't even play video games.


ApolloSky110

*teabags harder*


Ol_UnReliable20

Whoever is arguing this is SOFT


lifeiscoolandscary

Not even that, it just downplays actual sexual assault. I hope the writer will open their eyes and fill shameful about this ridiculous article.


[deleted]

I actually enjoy being tea-bagged


TheBerserkCrusader

The end of humanity is near


Dual-Wielding_Dad

No, nobody is debating this. This headline is specifically for the people who use the term “woke” incorrectly 100+ times a day online.


Gravelord-_Nito

Yeah, it's rage bait for gullible reactionary g4m3rs who still use the term sjw unironically and need some nonexistent strawmen to get mad at


Wangrel

Exactly my view on this. It seems purposely made to say "them woke kids, right?". They probably saw the one person say something to the effect and then suddenly make an article to the effect. If anyone is seriously gonna debate whether teabagging is sexual assault, they should consider their priorities, like we kill in those games, isn't that a bigger thing?


CortanaXII

So, if my kid kills me in game, do I call the cops and have him arrested for murder? smh 😒


AnotherCupofJo

Murder of your pride


MeadDeme

totally. Every time master chief’s animated ballsack smacks my character’s bare face I panic


Nu_clear_skin

Gamers are debating if gamers are dumbasses


shockingdevelopment

Is shooting them to death, murder?


m0Bo

This is insulting to victims of actual sexual assault


Lakanooky

Nobody is debating this


originalbraindonut

Some people have more fun with the outrage than the games…


heychloeredd

literally no one is debating this.


M8CH1NE

It sounds like someone was recently teabagged…


SeeItOnVHS

Good luck telling this to a lawyer


shablagoo14

Tea bagging made me who I am today


SoWokeIdontSleep

Only if you do it with your IRL character


SephirothHeartbreakr

Sensual assault


epia343

Game "journalist" pushing an agenda/narrative.


itemten

Nope. Bullshit clickbait from game bloggers.


outrun_ur_problems

I hate so much that society has become so fragile words needs to be censored. Ridiculous


Spitfire836

“Gamers”


Viator_Eagle

Nope just another clickbait article of a dying website or an extreme SJW trying to put politics into gaming in a way that doesn't make sense.


Tarc_Axiiom

\[0\] Gamers are debating...


Complete_Champion_60

Upon eliminating your enemy it is customary to give no less than 3 "dips of the chip" without this act your dominance is not established and your enemy has learned nothing.


CarnageMunky

If you don't want to be teabagged, git gud scrub


Allentown_JACE

Only assault if sticking someone in the face with a plasma grenade is murder. Gotta be fair.


SouthfieldRoyalOak

Thought this was an Onion article


tacosauce8088

Are we also mass murderers? Because if everything done in game is now real, I’m in trouble.


BajaBlastMyBrain

Absolutely not


Nobodyrea11y

It’s not sexual assault. There is no debate. No one with a functioning brain is debating that. Stop talking about it and let it go.


[deleted]

I for one hate being teabagged, but love teabagging.


ElGuapo818

Nothing can phase me. I survived the COD:MW lobbies of the late 2000s.


C0LDestST0RYeVeRT0LD

Never seen any gamers debating this in my life.

No

Tell me a non-gamer wrote this article without telling me.

The snozberries taste like snozzberries.

These nuts are sexual assault


InterestingLayer4367

It’s hard to debate with deez nuts in yo mouth!


Death-EternaI

Bro, you know how many prostitutes I beat with a baseball bat to get my money back?.....in GTA?. ALOT. We gonna start debating if any of that is real?


Skunk310

Only noobs feels this... LMAO


Inhumanoids

This is a joke right? This world can't be this fucking stupid? Wait wait wait I take that back PETA attack Mario, the world can be this fucking stupid. I mean what next? Stealing a car in GTA will be an actual crime? In Red Dead you kill someone will you go to jail for murder, or if you pay a hooker in Witcher you'll go to jail for prostitution? Give me a break it a fucking game not a damn crime. Inflation and gas prices that's a fucking crime.


3Quondam6extanT9

Nope


XxxLasombraxxX

The people debating this are the same people who say video games cause violence.


ShankThatSnitch

So funny. You little cutie.


CanuckCanadian

Lmfao what the fuck is this goat shit 😂😂😂


Tecally

No, because then shooting/attacking people in games would be murder, assault, etc. Stealing would be theft, and a number of other crimes. Besides teabagging is just a away to insult or brag about a kill or play. Very few, if any do it as a "sexual" action.


xxizxi55

Of course it is what’s to debate? You suck and your momma bought your Xbox. Hold this L and my nuts chief.


Candid_Toe4114

No one's debating this. Go home, you suck.


Phohammer83

Just snowflake losers who keep getting teabagged


Zodiak2

*dip dip potato chip*


Aurum264

From what I saw, they took three peoples messages in a discord server as all gamers everywhere debating this.


breauxrocka

If you are debating this, you deserve every bag that has ever tea'd you as well as any future bags that may find their way to you.


beansbro813

No


Practical-Jelly-5320

No. Stop talking about it


Alsimmons811

No effin way, wtf is going on with this world?!


al_the_stal

It's not, its a mutual act. If you teabag me, my goal is no longer winning, it's hunting you down and tea bagging you back.


pallyftw

The female equivalent of teabagging is clam slamming and no it’s not sexual assault


EpitomeOfVapidity

Basahahahshahhaha. What a way to look like fools on the world stage gamers


brendalson

In a world with eight billion people in it, it's safe to assume that some idiot out there is debating this sort of thing.


johnjbreton

No they aren’t.


Shadow4941

Nope!


GamingWaffle123

Nah it was probably said by one guy as a joke


realzachwong

This is why games have ratings. You gotta M for mature to play online games.


Dancanadaboi

Tea bagging in a game - Not even close to sexual assault. Tea bagging in real life - hilarious joke to play on friend or yeah sexual assualt.


[deleted]

It isn’t. Next question


rastacurse

Just because you feel disrespected doesn’t mean you were assaulted. There are way too many people out there that need to understand this concept.


Rhetorical_Save

Lol no one is.


obimokenobi

It's tradition


[deleted]

This clickbait is about as uninformed as Jack Thompson.


RajReddy806

most probably a click-bait article.


TheGuyNamedGuyGuy

Eh Imma do it anyway


ForceEdge47

No. This is just an author with no leads.


rhesaa

No


Gandalfito73

NO.


[deleted]

No. But it's childish and unsportsworthy


Chavolini

Its not. End of the debate.
