The Inevitability of Trolling

Also - I generally don't assume teabagging to be "harmless" or "in jest." It's kind of the middle finger of Calibur. And, sure, I flip the bird at friends "in jest" sometimes...but usually, if I'm teabagging you, it's because you pissed me off somehow and I want you to have the full image of my balls in your face.

I guess I should clarify that a little because I think people are missing the point. Lets look at the essence of Teabagging. It's essentially a character moving up and down on the screen. No one is being threatened, no one is being hurt, it's a symbolic gesture. So harmless is actually a good word to describe it. When I am getting teabagged online, I am pretty much relaxing on my couch with a beer in my hand. No immediate threat or foul is really happening. People just perceive a sense of urgency or danger when they see it.

Because its done online it has the capability to make people cry, yell , report people Xbox, and even send physical threats. This has more to do with the other person than it does me. Teabagging only becomes that offensive if someone lets it get to them that way. Since Teabagging is something I know will happen to me while playing online, I choose not to get mad about it. Most people give it way too much weight and power.
