Imagine walking up to a victim of a real sex crime, looking them in the eyes and telling them; "I know how you feel, I got teabagged in Halo:"

These people who argue that teabagging in a game is sexual assault completely diminish the reality of how serious and damaging real sexual assault is.

the most horrible tweet i saw was , after techno died, someone who posted a tweet about becoming cancer free , and everyone was like , "i wish techno survived instead of you", i was like damn

If you think teabagging is sexual harassment, you've never experienced the fucking trauma of it actually happening to you.

Imagine being in a support group for SA victims and someone shares their story of being teabagged in a video game.

Calling teabagging SA is insulting to people who've actually been through something like that. You're not """traumatized""" because someone pressed ctrl 3 times after killing you.

I got teabagged in MKX…it’s still difficult to talk about it even though it happened nearly 6 years ago. I can…I can still taste it. They crouched and uncrouched so fast I could hardly even process what was happening. Since then I haven’t been able to form stable relationships. I have trust issues, I can’t hold a job. I missed out on a family vacation because they were going to Arizona and it reminded me of tea. Teabaggers must be stopped. They can’t keep ruining people’s lives and getting away with it.

Imagine them in group therapy: "I saw a women get her clothes ripped off and get raped" "Yea I watched someone get teabegged in valorant"

calling "T-bagging" a necrophilia is like calling a successful shooter game a mass murder

The thought of a grown adult being emotionally devastated by a 12 year old crouch spamming their friend in a video game is some of the funniest shit I've ever imagined.

"It wasnt a debate, it was just the worst takes of all time" makes you wonder how many "raging debates" are the same way, a small one-sided argument being presented as a devisive issue

People are now genuinely having problems with distinguishing between fiction and reality. It's really hard to believe it's gotten this bad!

Person one: "I was sexually assaulted, I was held down and forced to have sex against my will" Person two: "I know exactly how you feel, I too was violated. I watched someone crouch over my friend in an online shooter" I hate this planet.

The one that wrongs me everyday about Twitter is giving more human rights to fictional characters than actual people IRL.

What gets me is that teabagging in a video game isn't even representative of literal teabagging. No genitalia is involved or shown. You're literally just crouching over your opponent's face and our minds are filling in the blanks. So not only is it not real sexual assault, it's barely even pretend sexual assault.

Despite being 18, I tell creeps on VRChat that I’m 15 to get them away from me. It works most of the time, but not always.

I've actually read the actual thread on Twitter, and someone in that thread said "if t-bagging is a sexual act, then i am a multiple sex offender" 😭

the worst part about this is how it actually undermines actual sexual assault cases and how REAL WORLD cases wont be looked as horrible as it is because someones virtual nuts being dropped on your face is considered to be the same crime.

Teabagging someone is so satisfying after someone talks shit, especially cheaters. It becomes even more entertaining if said person becomes heated/mad after.

One of my friends, who used to be like a sister to me, claimed that she was r-worded and when I got concerned (because she had never mentioned anything about that before to me, even though we were so close), she proceeded to tell me that creepy people on social media claiming that they were doing inappropriate things to her account profile icon (which was an anime girl that she found on google) was counted as real life SA. Needless to say, I got enraged with her for claiming that she was r*ped, especially when she knew that my bff actually was (which enraged my bff as well when I told them), and told her that she was disgusting for saying that and her other friends are no different because they believe that she was as well. This caused a giant fight between us, where I was the jerk for "invalidating" what happened to her. I wasn't invalidating, I was saying that it is harrassment, not r*pe, so don't claim falsities like that. It is one thing to claim that you were harrassed online, but it is another thing to claim you were fully SAed. She said that "virtual r*pe is a real thing and is just as bad and serious as physical r*pe" and I was shocked that she thought that was okay to claim. Asked her why she never just blocked them and her response was that she was scared they would track her down like they claimed they would if she blocked them, which I guess is an understandable fear, but she also didn't have to respond to their messages if she didn't want to block them. It also amazes me that she thinks it would count as SA when she posted NSFW roleplay starters and "first comment gets to do whatever they want to my muse/oc and I can't say no" posts on all her accounts, but those things don't count as giving permission for people to send her creepy/inappropriate NSFW messages. It disgusts me that her, her partner (who she said was physically SAed), and her friends (all of which are in their 20s) believe and defend her and what happened to her when there are real people that actually are SA victims who don't get justice and are traumatized. Like, she needs to grow up and stop fishing for attention and sympathy for something that didn't actually happen to her. We are no longer as close and I don't talk to her friends or partner. I don't think I am the one in the wrong because i believe it is wrong to claim something so serious when it didn't happen. Sorry for the long message, but this vid gave me the chance to rant about that situation. Love this guys videos and opinions. He says things in a way that make so much sense, while also not being a "normal" way to explain or say them.

This shit is infuriating, imagine someone being sexually assaulted and then having their traumatic experience equated to being teabagged in a video game. People need to open their eyes and lay off the crazy pills ffs

Wait- They’re traumatised by watching their teammate get teabagged, but they’re perfectly fine with shooting other players? 😂 Somethin’ ain’t adding up.

Theres no way someone connected t-bagging with necrophilia. Its so outrageous that it has to be bait or r/woosh

Soon enough griefing someone's world in minecraft will be considered domestic terrorism

Imagine being an actual victim talking to these mindless weirdos. “Yeah I was touched by so and so inappropriately, scarred me for life” “Dude same, I had someone teabag me in Halo and now I’m traumatized”

VRChat is gonna spawn so many documentaries in the future

Not to mention that comparing tea-bagging in a video game to real sexual daily is incredibly insensitive to victims of actual sexual assault.

As an actual victim of sa, tea banging being called “sexual assault” makes me so incredibly depressed and disappointed

Twitter is getting so bad that is even affecting cr1tikal's sanity

“After brutally slaughtering the enemy team by tearing their limbs and disemboweling their leader, it was to my horror that urmom2001 t-bagged them. I just couldn’t believe that such a disgusting and graphic t-bag happened right in front of me.”

this tweet is pathetic. only a disgustingly sheltered excuse of a person would think that a video game can be as traumatising or even emulate the trauma of REAL sexual assault

This pains me on so many levels. I am a victim of sexual abuse from my own parent and the amount of trauma and problems in my life that it's caused me has made life almost unbearable, and I am still actively trying to deal with it. When people keep saying these sort of things, it literally feels like they're mocking me and every other survivor/victim of such. We have enough trouble being taken seriously as it is.

It's insane how out of touch with reality they are, they have no clue how damaging saying shit like this can be for actual SA victims.

I absolutely love how teabagging is encouraged in splitgate and there’s even a hint/tooltip telling you that you should teabag people

Charlie writes a book. It's called "A guide to not being a troglodyte." Chapter One: It's a f**king video game.

Twitter is like that weird drunk uncle that nobody likes but he keeps constantly showing up to family reunions even though you make sure to never invite him when you hold the reunion every year

Ok as an *actual* victim of sexual assault, t-bagging has zero trigger for me, much less even remotely similar feelings. This is a whole new level of “feel offended for someone else” even though it doesn’t apply to you at all. This genuinely pisses me off.

The bitter irony about these arguements is that saying tbagging or emoting after a kill is "sexual assault" fundamentally diminishes the seriousness of REAL LIFE sexual assault. The absolute state of the world.

i was abused, r*ped and sa multiple times, and if someone did this to me id laugh. twitter needs to just be moderated so much better omg

The most haunting tweet I’ve ever read is someone saying rapists can now choose the mother of their child

I feel like you had the easiest life with zero struggle if someone t-bagging you genuinely traumatizes you.

It was only a matter of time until people started getting offended over “T-bagging”, but SA accusations is serious and they’re just making light of it by reaching so hard. Pretty sad tbh.

Bro, when someone t-bags me I just laugh. There's something incredibly comical about seeing a character you're supposed to take seriously (like a soldier, for example) going up and down with his little gun and a straight face.

The amazing thing about this tweet is that it isn't even the first time I've seen someone say that. My brother once saw someone in a subreddit compare getting teabagged to getting sexually assaulted. I know we all get annoyed at being taunted, but come the fuck on, people.

This is reminiscent of the time I witnessed a horrific car crash in rocket league. I was so traumatized I was scared to drive irl for years.

"If you truly believe that teabagging is the equivalent to real world sexual assault, then you should also believe that shooting and killing in those games is equivalent to real world murder." Don't give them ideas...

as a SA survivor, the fact that ppl think that TEABAGGING IN VALORANT is SA is honestly insulting 💀💀💀

The worst tweet I ever read was someone admitting to contracting MRSA because they didn’t wash their legs in the shower. I read it 6 years ago and it has never left my head. Truly haunting.

"You're not gonna see Master Chief busting out the gritty" Perfect line

Imagine someone opens up about their trauma, having to relive that, and the other person's like "ya I got t-bagged, I understand."

I can imagine the people in that thread have had very sheltered lives thinking like that. I do hope they stay sheltered to be fair. Because when it really happens irl, you permanently feel less safe in the world, even if you see yourself as a survivor and not someone who is a victim for all time.

This is why I try to limit my time on Twitter to only 15 min intervals because that app is so batshit crazy I can’t stand it for too long

The fact that we even need to clarify that teabagging is not a sexual assualt shines the light on our slow but continuous downfall as a human race...

That tweet was like one of those memories you get when you're trying to sleep. He really hit the "damn it, why didn't i say this to her? Life would be so good"

I was sexually assaulted when I was 5 years old! I’m still going to therapy about it. I have never felt anyone EVER teabagging me or taunting me is even close to sexual assault. Also, teabagging is like the word F**k. I’ve teabagged teammates for saving my life! Also I welcome teabagging because it just makes it easier for my teammates to find you.

I never really thought about it before but this seems to be Charlie's way of ranting. I relate to thinking about something relatively minimal for several days or even weeks and often times the only way to just put it to rest is in my case writing/journaling.

If this person has such a terrible trauma that even an action that could be taken as slightly sexual sets them off, then they need therapy and to avoid most games until they’re on the road to recovery. People need to realise the world won’t cater to you even if it’s a trigger. Especially not strangers on the internet. It’s the persons responsibility to be aware of their triggers and avoid such situations that could set them off unless, again, they’re on the road to recovery. I used to have a trigger that was a very mundane thing. Panic attack inducing. I took steps to avoid the trigger until I could better handle it, now its not so bad anymore. I hope whoever made the thread and all those tho agreed with it and saw a necrophiliac thing with it get help.

I remember playing COD: Ghosts and there used to be a challenge that was like "humiliate the next enemy you kill" and you literally got points for teabagging the next person you killed. Shame on Activision for promoting and rewarding SA

I think they're right tbagging should be replaced, by the deadspace stomp with limb dismemberment. It's far more effective at proving this point that it's merely there to insult you.

Murder: 😃 Tea bag: 😰

I wheezed when Charlie showed his tweet, please someone protect these fragile souls from getting teabagged and let them just play sudoku's

I’ve gotta say, getting tbagged did not damage me as much as when I was sexually assaulted. My ego was bruised and that’s pretty much it.

The important distinction to make is that sexual *harassment* is possible in VR, but not assault. At any time you can take off your headset or leave the game. You aren't able to be held in or forced in any way.

Imagine a world where Twitter doesn't exist.

As someone who has been sexually assaulted multiple times, shit like this really takes credit away from real victims of assault. It's an absolutely traumatising thing and it changed my life for the worse. I've been tbagged in halo before and that effected me for maybe 5 minutes if I was feeling salty.

Thanks, now _I_ can't stop thinking about it.

I dont why Charlie saying " you dont see Master Chief busting out the gritty" fucking murdered me 🤣

how does somebody get TRAUMATIZED from being teabagged in a video game...

I'm 90% sure these people have to be on 12 layers of irony with these tweets. There's no way they aren't shitposting right?

Being a survivor of multiple sexual assaults this really takes away from survivors of real sexual assault or harassment, kinda ridiculous lol I didn't see the tweet but jeez I don't think I need to at this point, glad Charlie shared this regardless

Got licked in the face by a women in vrchat rarely felt that odd and was a tad aroused by it was 5 years ago

i play a lot of splatoon, and in at least one game every day i get t-bagged after being splatted. it's annoying as shit and yeah, bad sportsmanship. ive also been sexually assaulted. im legitimately offended that my experience, trauma, a suicide attempt and years of struggling to heal after that is being to a fucking taunt.

As someone who was SA'd, I can't roll my eyes hard enough. "Traumatized," my ass. When you still have nightmares about being t-bagged six years after the fact then we'll talk.

Remember when these people tried to hold gamers accountable for in-game war crimes? Basically this'll be forgotten by the end of the week, maybe month and that's the last we'll ever hear about it.

I think its also important to distinguish the difference between sexual assault and sexual harassment. While both are terriible things and criminal acts, assault takes it to another level. Harassment of any kind should not be viewed as something the same level of assault. Just like me telling someone to fuck off, while "rude" is not hate speech. (at least in America). We live in a world where public opinion quickly becomes "law" when in reality, just because your feelings get hurt, that does not make an asshole a criminal.

7:22 rubbed me the wrong way? Now you’ve placed a disturbing image of yourself in my mind, I feel violated you’re getting sued bucko

"I rushed into the objective building I was witness to countless detached body parts and blood soaked into the walls, but there in the middle of all this carnage was the worst part of it all, xXslayer117Xx was performing sexual acts upon the corpse of one of my former team mates and I was able to do nothing but watch, as a member of the gaming community I hope we are all able to come together and stop these foul people from tormenting our society"

I’ve T bagged someone, been t bagged myself, and have witnessed T bagging and I am not traumatized. I guess I’m an enigma, sex criminal, and a victim. For people who don’t know much about video games: T bagging has no sexual implications, it is merely at its core just a character rapidly crouching. T bagging has been a tease/joke for years especially in older games or game where taunting/emoting is nonexistent. Charlie is 100% correct, you cannot compare a traumatizing, life altering, and overall horrific experience with a simple gesture performed by the lesser gamers of the gaming community.

It’s sad how, a lot of times, playing the victim actually helps said self proclaimed “victim” to pay their bills. The amount of those lacking in any self morality and pride sickens me, if another real war broke out involving citizens, there will be a shit ton of casualties and little to no one to trust.

in vrchat specifically you have a personal space where characters disappear and also can block people so it isn't really an issue there

The fact that people are genuinely getting offended by getting T-Bagged in a video game shows just how much people (atleast on Twitter) want to be victim for the clout.

Teabagging is like "flipping the bird". Sure it's irritating, somewhat offensive, but not so much as to warrant an arrest.

Bro ive been teabagged irl and you don't see me crying about trauma people need to get over themselves

Two words for anyone who's complaining about people teabagging: Get Good

Even Charlie, a man of unstoppable power and reasoning, sometimes cannot deal with the stupidity of twitter. That is how truly awful the platform is.

I was sexually assaulted and suffer from PTSD, I absolutely agree with you. This makes me so angry. Why would anyone compare that to teabagging in a game.

When Common Sense turn into Uncommon Sense.

in TF2 there's even a couple different achievements based around getting certain taunts off after killing someone and I think there's even one if you take a specific screenshot or get like a specific image in the killcam

Charlie talked about the disrespectful nature of teabagging, especially using it above a player. However, I really like how teabagging became a multipurpose communication thing. You use it to check if someone is friendly, to say "thanks", "come here" and many other, depends on the situation.

I like that Splitgate just embraces the silliness by having T-bagging be a daily objective sometimes and even has a whole mode centered around T-bagging to confirm a kill. lol

All I hear when people are complaining about this is "I'm sick of teabagging because I'm so trash at the game I'm in a constant state of humiliation"

I don’t even think these people are real it’s probably just some really complicated prank.

nothing can counteract, “imagine if men had to breastfeed using their ____”

After what he said, I can't stop imagining Master Chief actually doing the griddy in my head, it's painful to think of. Edit: grammar.

The teabag serves as a duel function, back in reach, you used it to humiliate you opponent and make them pissed, but in Minecraft its a form a peace treaty

The vr stuff is a whole different thing because like a guy could have his pants down yk being weird in vr but he’s also like working with sprites, so like in that sense it’s the equivalent of ejaculating to a halo spartan

holy man we actually got to the point where teabagging is considered SA. Twitter is just picking on literally every human decision at this point.

I was sexually assaulted and it pisses me off that people have to audacity to compare my trauma to a taunt on a video game.

The best feeling is after getting owned and taunted you finally get your shine and dominate someone and then its your turn to taunt that person. It makes me feel whole. Like taking back a part that was lost

As weird as T bagging is, this is just insane.
