Why is there no sportsmanship in video games man? People are just downright mean

I was playing online yesterday, and this guy kills me, which is no big deal (it happens), but then he starts teabagging the corpse

And I just can't imagine another competitive game where that kind of behavior would be tolerated. Imagine the Olympic Games, some pro swimmer dominates and gets the gold medal, and then he goes and teabags the guy who won the bronze

I mean, for fuck sake, where is the respect? It's all foul language, threats, and insults with the gaming community.

Stop playing multiplayer games!

Beat a game, try out multiplayer mode, people use exploits that you didn't even know existed to become invincible for short periods of time. It's fully encouraged by the fighting game community as a valid strategy, rather than calling out cheating as cheating.

Because back in the day you could trashtalk whenever you were shitting on someone and then they would play harder to be the one on top shitting on others. Now people refuse to get good and just get butthurt someone who is good is taunting them.

So now you either have passive aggressiveness because people still want to let you know they are better than you. Or you have full hugbox so faggy OP cant get his feelings get hurt

Because some lives are just so devoid of happiness and purpose that one has to get a large portion of it from that game.
I'm not a particularly angry person, but if I'm winning in Defense of the dotards two, I'll throw some slurs around and purposefully extend the game a good 20 minutes just because I fucking can and it feels good to know that in an existence so turbulent and chaotic, you can at least control this thing for the moment.
Kill self, casual.

>>341458917
that's a bad example, he got slugged in the face for doing that. baseball is a highly traditional sport where taunting is not tolerated. football or basketball though, that's different.

It's simple, video games cause violence and you nerds are the most vulnerable because that's all you do.

If I killed them in real life, I'd laugh at their attempt to defeat me too.

A lot of people use competitive gaming as a stress outlet. If you're expecting nice people go play Miitomo or invite your friends over to play Legos.

There's a difference between trashtalk and fightin' words. Even the most obnoxious shithead is slightly less of an asshole when they play video games face to face with other people otherwise it ends up in a fist fight.

I use my sexual fantasy to enjoy both winning and losing moments in multiplayer vidya. So in the end I'm always happy.

I actually like to be dominated and submit when my opponent is too strong. I act like I'm not enjoying it in the chat just to be taunted.

I even vote for the enemy team when the round end in overwatch

you can't fucking stop me, I'm invincible.

Well not necessarily HC simulator but even in RO2 you don't have to deal with that shit. Its mainly FOTM games and stuff normiekids like that has this. And especially if the game interests niggers in general, that's the worst case of bad players if I've ever seen.

>>341458924
This is the age of feelings. People can't up the banter because the kiddos will get hurt and report you as toxic.

Baseball's tradition is to award a player who is playing well against you with a 95-MPH fastball to the ribs. You don't need to taunt to not be tolerated.

Of course, the hit-by-pitch itself is much more tolerated. Fee-fees > Broken ribs, I guess.

I've had the same conversation about the bat flip in baseball. It applies to all forms of taunting.

It very much is about winning, the taunting only amplifies it. If a guy greets you politely pre-match and apologizes for every kill, are you going to let him go 25-0 off you? Of course not, so it definitely is about winning. And taunting or not, the solution is very much the same: Don't let him win. You don't like him teabagging you, then beat him. If his taunting disrupts your ability to play, then stop playing.
>>
>>341467663

No, man. Because losers could be rude too, and I've seen plenty of that as well

I just feel like, you should respect the competition instead of saying "Suck my dick nigger"
>>
>>341468180
So beat them and respect them. If they disrespect you while they're losing, just remind them that they're losing.
>>
>>341457663
Need to ask?
You play with someone a million miles away whom you cannot affect in any way. There is no direct contact between you, you don't get to see each other in the eyes and communicate.
Not that there isn't toxic behaviour in sports...

Because I've had sex?

I'm 30 and at this point, I find sex boring.

Blowjobs are where it's at.

>Making her do all the work.
>Looking up at me.
>Not cumming for at least 45 minutes.

Power and control, feelsgoodmang.

do to others as they have done to you

therefore is someone undeservedly teabags you, you run them over with a helicopter.

you only bow back if they have honor too, thats why martial artist bow -while maintaining eye contact-
