Part 5/9:
Despite its popularity and harmlessness, Ryan points out that some players and even organizations are pushing to have tea bagging banned, claiming it’s disrespectful and toxic. He criticizes this movement, labeling it as overly sensitive and out of touch with the real nature of gaming competition. Ryan questions who these opponents are and suggests that their objections are rooted in being easily offended.
He argues that players who get upset over a simple gesture like tea bagging are missing the point—gaming is about competition, expressing dominance, and sometimes goading opponents. He notes that, if someone finds it offensive, they can just back out of the game or lobby rather than asking for nothing to be allowed.
