Games should implement tiptoeing instead of crouching to combat teabagging.

I hate tea-bagging and will report it. In games where this idea wouldnt effect gameplay, I would support removing crouching.

I also dont want to trivialize your feelings at all, but its important to remember regarding this

They quite honestly dont. Im not sure Ive ever even met someone in twenty or so years of playing shooters that has ever expressed a genuine concern for the player on the other side. Id be incredibly concerned if people thought of those online avatars as other real people; and still decided to kill them.

I guess what Im saying is its not you theyre disrespecting, its the opponent who they just beat that looks like a virtual character. I actively avoid content and real life circumstances that trigger PTSD (which is actually the opposite of modern therapy, but a licensed counselor should assist with that). I would imagine people who have PTSD triggered by being shot at avoid shooting games entirely.

Even on these forums, people barely empathize enough with strangers to consider the feelings of the person behind the text; and were not simulating murder like competitive shooters. I do remember you as a poster and a person, and I hope you read what Im saying with the sympathetic sincerity Im trying to convey. Its just that the internet has so far shown that its the place where the worst of ourselves is let out, and many people struggle even in real life with being courteous.

I think I suggested it before, but I highly recommend professional counseling. Lots of places offer medical services for free if you lack insurance and income; Im getting free care in San Antonio, TX of all places. Surprisingly, this counselor is even by far the best Ive had, even if that comes with its own issues. Im always open to PMs if you had questions about counseling, free care services, or anything else (including being yelled at for being tactless).

I hear ya. The only reason I play games online is bots aren't very smart and no game I'm familiar with has replicated the unpredictability of a human mind.

I haven't played Call of Duty for a while and this is happening in Elden Ring as well. I've watched streamers online were people will teabag the host when he or she is felled. Sometimes with multiple people at once. I've also had that happen to me as well.

But why am I the one to change when this happening? This feels like a situation where everyone but the problem is the one that has to change and that's not right.

I seriously hate that people have to be this awful. Despite my love for succubi, I don't like the idea of rape. Heck, the two I met asked me if I wanted to lay with them instead of climbing on top of me as I slept.

*sigh* I really don't get this world sometimes. I'm really hoping someday someone will create a better world via cyberspace and I can upload my consciousness there.
