@shavixmir saidThe tea-bagging thing is not a feature in any game. It's done just by tapping down repeatedly on a controller; so it takes a bit of imagination but that is the intended effect. Think of it like when people use eggplant emojis as a penis.
You can give people the finger on this forum. I need to use my phone though for the emoji.
The point being that this forum is social media.
But a game is a game. Of course there are rules. I play Civilisation. It's not on the menu of options to plunder and rape a city you conquer. So it can't happen.
You can ask yourself, if you're building a game, why would you b ...[text shortened]... ly going on at the moment.
What happens when you plug in touch-sensors?
I find it fascinating.
But you're right, the lines of reality will get blurred in ways we probably couldn't imagine. I never even thought about touch sensors, which already exist.

@vivify saidI thought because of its colour eggplant was slang for gingers.

@vivify saidThe new multiplayer Halo Infinite, which includes player/player combat/teaming interaction, has banned tea-bagging. This doesn't mean someone will figure out how to do it anyway.
Keep in mind that even in online games where characters kill each other, some behavior is prohibited, like using abusive, racist language. Tea-bagging was also mentioned, and some game companies ban the practice (when you simulate putting your genitals on another character's face by having the character squat down repeatedly). So unwelcomed behavior exists even in violent ga ...[text shortened]... (and probably even more) real as the emotion we already encounter from people just using keyboards.
@shavixmir saidIn a game setting, tea-bagging is just your character squatting over the face of the guy you just killed in game. Squatting or crouching is allowed in such games as it is a motion your character might do within the game setting (ducking behind an obstacle, for instance). There is no actual depiction of genitals or placing them in a victim's mouth. This has gone on forever. Most players might get pissed if it happens to them, but then they just find the guy next time, and do it to them. Not generally considered a big deal in PvP (player vs player) games. It's been going on long enough that it is considered bad taste maybe, something younger players might do as an 'in-your-face' gesture, but most people just 'drive on'. As I said, most people don't make a huge screaming deal of it.
You can ask yourself, if you're building a game, why would you build in the option to tea-bag or cut off the genitals and place them in the victim's mouth? It's a bloody game.
@suzianne saidGood grief.

People are simplistically nasty.

@shavixmir saidBut if they are doing it online, are they doing it in real life. If all these violent games have not caused an uptick in violence then will online rape cause a decline of rape in the physical world?
Good grief.

@shavixmir saidIt's a 'lowest-common-denominator' thing, yeah I agree.
Good grief.

@shavixmir saidSays shag doody whose humour tops out at anal incest jokes.
Good grief.

@athousandyoung saidThat's what I said ATY, you'll see my post above the one you quote was deleted not because I used the word that rhymes with bigger but because either:
In True Romance it’s slang for black people:

I tried to hide the word that rhymes with bigger from sensitive types by using the word that rhymes with sleep but starts with the second letter of the alphabet...or
I used the name of a character from the young rascals, if you're a fan of Sopranos you may recall Tony using the word when speaking of Meadows then boyfriend Noah.
Bxxxxxxt, or common bxxxxxxxt, is a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds and as a cover crop. The name "bxxxxxxxxt" is used for several other species, such as Fagopyrum tataricum, a domesticated food plant raised in Asia. Despite its name, bxxxxxxxt is not closely related to wheat.
Either way there are words that may not be used here at RHP so I resorted to a simple anagram. I expect the word 'gingers' will soon be banned along with this post.

Not only are you going out of your way to disrespect people but you are muddling your message. Gingers are a thing you know.
