Well, I don't regard the behaviour of teabagging offensive and think it actually fun as a "Battlefield Salute". I teabagged others when i killed them with the gas mask or won a tricky duel. I want to enjoy the subculture of teabagging in bf2042 like I always have but the fact is that it might upset others and consquently make myself reported and banned regarding the new report system introduced. I want a solid answer to see whether I should restrict my crouching behaviour.😞

Maybe it's time for a refresher of the guide to teabagging?Or as some refer to it:The Ultimate Guide to the Artform of the Sexual Man Pose The Douchery: The higher ranked guys who teabag because they feel superior. If they kill you it wasn't because you only had 5 health, or because 5 guys were all shooting at you, or because they got a lucky kill, or because you were changing settings and idle. It's because you "got rekt" and they need to make sure you know that despite the circumstance.The Rager: The any-ranked players who teabag out of complete rage. They're frustrated, they're butthurt, and come hell or high water, they are going to teabag you because they want you to know you're a lesser skilled player than they are for killing them 15 times in a row. These are easy to spot because they always go hand-in-hand with insults, including, but not limited to: mothers, general incoherent profanity, racism, homophobic slurs, etc.The Friendly: Teabaggings from your friends or clan mates. All in jest. All in fun.The Respectful: Typically held in regard by higher skilled players. This two-dip only teabag usually comes at the hand of a very skillful kill. In this usually rare situation the teabagger is aware of their targets skill and vice versa. This teabag carries a certain degree of respect for both parties involved. I just got a skilled kill on you and here is a teabag. A challenge of sorts, for you to kill me in an equal manner because I know you're capable. This is an inner circle of teabag and if you've never seen it, or been a part of it, then you're not in that inner circle.The Bellyflop: This teabag is an upgraded form of The Rager. Not only will they teabag, but they will also want to take the extra step and flop down into the prone position a couple of times between each bagging. They're super butthurt and they're doing anything they can to make sure you know it.The Dedicated: They killed you and they want the world to know. This rare breed of teabagger will dip and dip and dip until your body vanishes. With complete disregard to their environment, they want to make sure everyone see's what is transpiring. You may respawn and find them again still teabagging away. They don't care and they want you to know it. They want you to see them teabagging your dead body or the empty ground where your body was. You can kill them and even return a teabag of your own, but it makes no difference. They believe their point was proven.The Excitable: This non-malicious teabag is typically the result of over excitement at the result of a skilled kill. The player is stunned and excited they managed this kill and a subconscious teabag ensues. These are harmless teabags, but it's not always easy for the target to discern it.The Casual: This category rides the line down the middle and can sometimes sway a little to one side or the other but in a very limited manner. They don't teabag out of nefarious intent or reason. It's just part of the game to them just like reloading or throwing a grenade. This category is usually an evolution of The Rager. They usually don't even notice they're doing it because it's habit or muscle memory.The Novice: Super low ranked players that are new to the game. They've heard of teabagging, they've seen it in game footage videos, and they want to try it out for themselves. They don't even have to be ones that killed you or even on the opposing team. They just see a body lying on the ground in the general direction that they were spraying bullets in, and they want to teabag it. They'll learn the rules eventually.The Scorekeeper: You've met in battle numerous times and they've started to notice they have killed you more than you have them. This category is unique because each player in this category has their own take on what the acceptable number of kills against another player are needed before teabagging can begin. This is also a unique category because it can go hand-in-hand with The Douchery or The Casual. It's a very dynamic category of teabagging.In other words and hint to the EA Dev Team: Keep the killcam! 😎

Can't beat a good bagging, it's hilarious!

That's the best part about knifing someone and taking their tags. The T Bag.

@FantasticKevin Personally, I think "tea-bagging" is childish. Doesn't seem very sporting, either. It was cute for all of about 5 minutes, when it first became a thing. Now, I think most people are over it, thankfully.

Will I be reported and punished if I teabag someone, making them feel offended?

Teabagging is a great way to show respect to your opponent.
The only bad thing about it is when you are so busy teabagging, that you don't notice the other player sneaking up on you to score a melee kill.

Actually I feel getting melee-killed is always very humiliating even when it doesn't happen during a teabag. But I have not yet reported anyone for meleeing me.

@SharpGoblin I know, i used apex as example. The teabag used in a disrespectful way is becoming a problem in all multiplayer games.

@GrizzGolf No that’s not true Grizz. My favourite recently is a player who drove a Recon from their spawn all the way across the map, tried to road kill me, missed, jumped out shooting and I got the kill. While as much luck as skill, I felt like I earned the privilege to tbag. I do miss the ability to do the “sexy man pose” coined by Neebs back in the day. It just doesn’t animate the weapon swap like it did. I think a good tbag is also appropriate when the other player is high skill and I manage to survive. Those also require a “dip dip potato chip” call out in all chat.
