Give me a fucking break.

Should men sue if a female does cassie cage's xray on a male in Mortal Kombat?

no one should have their career threatened over teabagging someone in a video game.

I don't want to defend the censorship nazis and stuff

But what kind of developer thinks it's a good idea to teabag a female journalist? And that not be bad PR for yourself, the game and the company you work for?

It's a dumb idea

Lol!

What a snowflake though

Now, granted he thought I was his dev buddy by accident, but holy s*** was that a mistake, she added.

This is like something out of a bad sitcom.

"Haha, Jerry, how do you like DEEZ NUTZ?"

"George you idiot I'm on the other side of the map."

"Then who did I teabag?"

*cutaway to a teal-haired journalist looking horrified*

LMFAO this would be fucking comedy gold. I could see KEy and Peele doing a skit like this.

I feel like the episode would start with George getting teabagged in-game by some snot nosed kid. And of course he gets really hung up on it, spending an inordinate amount of time and energy on getting revenge. This culminates in tracking the kid down at some big gaming event and cheating his way to the finals where he manages to get an easy kill somehow and doing that... only for the twist to occur. This is all broadcast on television.

So if teabagging in a videogame = sexual assault

It's not teabagging in a videogame that's the problem, it's doing it at work.

If you send a woman at work a dirty text even as a joke that's obviously sexual harassment.

That dude should teabag her in real life if they are going to fire him for this bs.

Eh. They can't do shit like that to him. Ruin his job/career at most. It's still fuckin stupid. Can't even just be reasonable and be like "Hey, people don't like that
Please don't do it again" "oh, okay. My bad I didn't realize it was gonna be a problem" that's literally how simple it can be 9 out of 10 times.

I agree

The virtual teabag scandal was highlighted by Mike Futter, a games journalist, who tweeted: Friendly tip for devs showcasing games: dont intentionally team-kill a journalist and then teabag them especially if shes a woman.

Fuck this guy, gender shouldn't make a lick of difference in this situation.

Dude did something rude & unprofessional while technically on the job. Fair, next

Seems I'll be posting this a lot.

Should he refrain from shooting too?

Probably should said "especially if she's a feminist". Maybe he was showcasing what kind of things you can do? I dunno but if you can't handle it then perhaps she shouldn't be a "gaming" journalist...

CapnMuffin posted...

Is she really gunning for his job though or just giving feedback to management?

The article implies that, but there is no proof coming through to that regard, which leads me to believe it's just a registered complaint. The fact that she's keeping mum on the identity of the company and developer is support of that.

Still, good on ya CE. Thought y'all were too woke for falling for a sensationalist article, but here we are.

Bingo. The guy is representing his company. Conventions like PAX are about selling your game. Doing something publicly rude is putting your company in a bad light.

Alucard188 posted...

Teabagging your opponent is childish fluff, and obnoxious to the person being killed. That said, no one should have their career threatened over teabagging someone in a video game.

Which is why the journalist didn't name names.

Realize that these developers are showcasing the game to a journalist to get visibility to sell their product. What sense does that make to piss off your journalist by doing something that's inherently disrespectful and unsportsmanlike? They don't have to give you attention, you're the one trying to impress them enough to have them write a compelling piece on your product. For that developer this means potential money left on the table and bridges burned.

There's a difference between "function of the game" and "rude gesture of victory" and you know it. The live equivalent is flipping someone off. The fact that you're inured to teabagging and think it's "normal" might mean you need this explained to you.

This sums it up pretty well. Taken way out of proportion, but just a stupid move for the developer to do in general.

Ok, but it was still done during a demo for journalists. That's not the time to be fucking around like that.

Yeah, it's an overreaction but definitely not something you should be doing when demoing to journalists.

So if the game had a button dedicate to teabagging then it'd be ok?

Technically aren't taunts (e.g. press X and Nina Williams moves her buns at you or Ken does a "come on!" gesture) , fatalities and other things like that rude gestures meant to piss off the other player too?

There are no fatalities that involve KOing someone and then rubbing your genitals in their face.

Unprofessional, but she overreacted way too much.

This is being handled privately and gently. It was an issue of professionalism and nothing more. The hubbub was a PSA and reminder that this is unprofessional behaviour. Thats it.

Lmao at all the anti-teabaggers in this topic. Guess none of ya never played Halo while growing up.

She's the one who should be fired for how petty this is. Instead of actually doing her job, shes purposely getting distracted by such a minor irrelevant act that's been embedded in online gaming culture for almost two decades now, just to get attention and play the feminist card. She has probably been anxiously waiting for something like this to happen during her whole "career".

How silly. Teabagging isn't a sexual behavior in a video game. It's just an insult-to-injury type of thing, more akin to saying "haha i owned you lmao" than "how do they taste? in your mouth... you know, my... TESTICLES..."

If it were called "noobsitting" instead of "teabagging" there would be no issue. Only because she saw the potential to create a problem here by turning this into a matter of sexual abuse when it clearly isn't, is she now trying to use this opportunity to gain a little limelight and shame a man guilty of the crime of playing a video game.

She should be barred from live or stage demos.
