everything is bannable if you get enough reports, just playing off meta heros was bannable before, just report and wait
âA Physical movement, (Of any degree) is not the same.
Can we all agree on that? And stop comparing the two?â
We certainly canât agree on that, because itâs dumb. Gestures mean things. Theyâre a language like any other.
âYou can accidentally flip someone off, Or⌠Make a hand gesture that has some âMeaningâ without realizing.
Whereas⌠You CANNOT Accidentally say/type words.â
Of course you can. You might cough in a weird way and it can sound to someone like an insult. Your cat might step on your keyboard and make it look like you intentionally typed something nasty. You can simply mispronounce something and make it sound like something else. Weâve all had autocorrect mishaps. Weâve all made âFreudian slipsâ. Written/spoken words arenât somehow immune to misunderstanding!
The odds of mistakenly making the gesture in question (standing directly on top of a corpse, and repeatedly tapping the crouch button in a crude simulation of raping it) are about the same as your cat accidentally typing a swear word.
Just because you can do it⌠does not mean it is right. Itâs not just Blizzardâs fault for the reporting system, itâs the communities as well for misuse of the report system, like what the OP posted.
I love that this topic comes up like once a month. If it really makes you feel better than Go ahead you can report him. But tbagging has been around for a long time. Id recommend just moving on and getting over it. But if you have to report them then You can. But just know that if you are reporting then the tbag worked on you.
Now thatâs a stretch if iâve ever heard one⌠X3
âMy cat stepped on my keyboardâ
Is literally the same as âMy dog ate my homeworkâ
Get real.
Also⌠It was never about âAccidentallyâ Crouching.
Itâs about why Crouching insât an insult, and canât âaccidentallyâ insult someone, by Playing the game.
Yes you can spam crouch.
Yes you can spin in circles.
Yes you can jump up and down.
But until i make an effort to be insulted by it, it literally isnât an insulting gesture.
Good DAY Sir.
Also, Iâll help you out a little here:
To quote what someone says, simply click and drag to highlight a line of text, then a âQuoteâ button will show above it.
Clicking the âQuoteâ button, will quote whatever is highlighted into a
Nice little bubble
In a new post layout, for you to then create a post about/around, or addressing the quoted text.
And, will notify the person whom you have quoted.
It was just a little hard to read your posts is all⌠Hope that helps.
Agreed. And these are just as believable as âmy finger slipped 5 times while I was standing on your corpseâ or âI was dodging 5 bullets but decided to stand still on your corpse while I was dodging.â No more, no less.
Thanks, this has been a pain in the neck to figure out by myself
I see youâre getting the hang of it.
I think you may need this:

Also⌠Tactical crouching is fine.
Always remember⌠Chibi would rather teach his enemies than fight them. X3
No one ever said otherwise.
You could say the exact same thing for written and spoken language, and it would be just as silly.
All i was originally trying to say, was:
And that reporting for a non-reportable offense, will only hurt you in the long run.
I donât necessarily agree, but I donât have an issue with any of that. Itâs this foolishness about how thereâs no such thing as an offensive gesture I find ridiculous and refuse to let pass.
Thereâs no such thing as offensive crouching.
You are aware of the name of the gesture, right? Its etymology? And the fact that everyone in the thread seems to know exactly what it means?
Yes.
But that is not simply crouching.
Crouching, as in, bending ones knees and lowering oneself to the ground, (Mostly to protect oneself from harm) Is NOT anything close to that.
If it did resemble that, THEN Weâd have an issue.
Get it?
Unless youâre about to complain about soldier 76âs Pushups being a sexual reference. O-o
(Please donât)
Itâs only personal if YOU make it personal.
So your contention is that the gesture cannot be made in Overwatch? In Overwatch, it is âsimply crouchingâ? Unlike in every other first-person shooter in which the gesture occurs, here it is magically meaningless?
Or is it your contention that the gesture has never existed in any first-person shooter?
Yes.
A âRecreation of the general movementâ Can be made, butâŚ
(Stares at Soldier doing pushups)
That can be said for almost anything.
Nah. If they do it to you, do it back to them after you kill them.
So where did the name come from? How do you even know what weâre talking about?
And⌠Iâm stopping right here, because i donât want to be banned for talking about very inappropriate content. :3
(What it Literally means)
Itâs BM, thatâs it
