I intend no offense in what I’m about to say. Just as you miss the practice, which is your prerogative, I’m merely explaining why I not only don’t miss it, but applaud its removal.
“Tea-bagging” - the act of mimicking squatting on another player’s face repeatedly (when you put it that way… really?) - is the kind of fratcore-esque, hazing-like, hyper competitive behavior that makes me shy away from competition in any form, including sports. I’m 31 years old. I don’t need that sort of thing.
I’m male, and I can totally understand why some women might not be cool with it. Any form of “rubbing someone’s nose in it” is something I abhor, personally. That’s just me.
Also, for the record re: your final comment OP, I know where you’re coming from, but I’m neither a child nor a “casual,” and I’m enjoying Halo 4.
Yeah…no. I generally don’t give a rat’s -Yoink- if I get teabagged or not. I think I would be more irritated if someone refrained from teabagging me just because I’m a girl. You know, equal opportunity and all It’s harder to pick out the female Spartans in Halo 4 than it was in Reach, anyway. Oh and also, they can’t be that against it since they gave us a teabagging hologram and made a point of showing us how you can do it in the Mantis. Fun stuff.
FYI Teabaggers, -Yoink!- anyway, nothing hammers it home when people see you teabagging their corpse in person. The fact that you die doing it just rubs it home how good it is.
Every so often I’ll throw down a -Yoink!-. It depends on a situation, and how the opponent’s team has been playing. It’s not intended to be a sexist thing, just a victory crouch. People shouldn’t be taking it so seriously.
