what the fuck?

Yeah, it happened. Probably the dream that stands out the most to me. Before then I was a rude agnostic who disregarded anything paranormal. The only reason I even liked succubi was the fact they were demons who took a female guise. That much I wanted to emulate.

I was molested, I dont get offended or triggered when ppl tea beg me. Infact I find it funny sometimes, further more I think limiting functions in games cause of the actions of few is pretty lame

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know how one goes about after enduring something like that. I was an emotional wreck after my former stepfather tried to get me in the shower with him and I was afraid for a long time to be alone with him.

Maybe my trauma is still there because my family denies he was going to do it. They make the excuse saying that "he wasn't gay" or "he really wanted to teach you how to clean yourself". It also didn't help he gave me "the talk" while he was on the toilet and would often spank me for no reason other than he wanted to.

*sigh* I really don't know how to move on with this.

The most difficult game I've beaten is Deathstate, a Binding of Isaac-esque roguelite.

My goodness, what happened to them that they look like that?

I like the occasional soda, but I'll get the runs if I drink three or more.

I never understood it myself. I always preferred adult women when it came to anime since they can get to body proportions not easily met by real flesh.

It sounds like you have significantly bigger problems than teabagging in a video game

That I was contacted by demons in my dreams? I consider myself a demonist (not Satanist) because those dreams.

I also saw my deceased grandfather from my dad's side in one. He gave me a souvenir mug from Indiana and I later learned he was born there. I don't call that a coincidence and genuinely believe he visited me and is touring America like he used to when he was alive.

I can't wade, though I can propel myself by swimming.

I hate tea-bagging and will report it. In games where this idea wouldnt effect gameplay, I would support removing crouching.

I also dont want to trivialize your feelings at all, but its important to remember regarding this

They quite honestly dont. Im not sure Ive ever even met someone in twenty or so years of playing shooters that has ever expressed a genuine concern for the player on the other side. Id be incredibly concerned if people thought of those online avatars as other real people; and still decided to kill them.

I guess what Im saying is its not you theyre disrespecting, its the opponent who they just beat that looks like a virtual character. I actively avoid content and real life circumstances that trigger PTSD (which is actually the opposite of modern therapy, but a licensed counselor should assist with that). I would imagine people who have PTSD triggered by being shot at avoid shooting games entirely.

Even on these forums, people barely empathize enough with strangers to consider the feelings of the person behind the text; and were not simulating murder like competitive shooters. I do remember you as a poster and a person, and I hope you read what Im saying with the sympathetic sincerity Im trying to convey. Its just that the internet has so far shown that its the place where the worst of ourselves is let out, and many people struggle even in real life with being courteous.

I think I suggested it before, but I highly recommend professional counseling. Lots of places offer medical services for free if you lack insurance and income; Im getting free care in San Antonio, TX of all places. Surprisingly, this counselor is even by far the best Ive had, even if that comes with its own issues. Im always open to PMs if you had questions about counseling, free care services, or anything else (including being yelled at for being tactless).

I hear ya. The only reason I play games online is bots aren't very smart and no game I'm familiar with has replicated the unpredictability of a human mind.

I haven't played Call of Duty for a while and this is happening in Elden Ring as well. I've watched streamers online were people will teabag the host when he or she is felled. Sometimes with multiple people at once. I've also had that happen to me as well.

But why am I the one to change when this happening? This feels like a situation where everyone but the problem is the one that has to change and that's not right.

I seriously hate that people have to be this awful. Despite my love for succubi, I don't like the idea of rape. Heck, the two I met asked me if I wanted to lay with them instead of climbing on top of me as I slept.

*sigh* I really don't get this world sometimes. I'm really hoping someday someone will create a better world via cyberspace and I can upload my consciousness there.

I feel the same way about watermelons.

I don't believe any of that feedback on Xbox. Like I've was marked 33% for trash talk and I don't even have a mic. People be complaining cause they suck and are sore loses. It's a game. Play it and have fun. Fuck.

Teabagging happens WHEN YOU FALL IN BATTLE, not when you win.

Seriously, why don't you go back to the lawyer's office?

SauI_Goodman posted...

Op was teabagged one too many times lolol

I imagine you were never in a situation where you could have been molested? I don't think you're one to "LOL" when it comes to sexual assault.

WarfireX posted...

TC, have you talked to a professional about this? I don't see how this is an appropriate place. The people here can't help you.

I have a respite care worker that is a great friend. We went to Sonic this morning and I can always tell her my thoughts without judgement. She's better than a therapist because she's actually a friend and not a person who understands me. I've seen therapists and they all are a bit shallow when it comes to my issues.

But the reason I made this topic is because I was constantly being teabagged in Elden Ring. Three straight invasions ended this way and they were all different groups.

I really hate this world and when it ruins the enjoyment of other worlds I can visit to forget my woes...well, it feels like I can't truly escape.

The lunchbox, solely because I miss my old friend Gary and he was a lunchbox.

Pikachuchupika posted...

Although at the same time...I find getting triggered by this a bit odd lol. It's just a video game, and it's just some characters models moving up and down on another character model. You're not actually, physically getting teabagged >.>

It's more or less how I feel like I'm being treated; like trash. If teabagging "wasn't a thing" in our world and had no meaning to it, I probably wouldn't care.

However, it does mean something; placing one's scrotum on the face of a dead person. It's almost a necrophiliac action and it shows so much disrespect for the person you do it to.

It doesn't help that people in my family still deny I was ever going to be molested. That hurts more than the attempt itself since that man is no longer in my life, but my family is.

I don't mean to pry, Karate guy, but this seems kind of personal for you.
There's nothing wrong with that, just wondering if you have a story to share or anecdotal takeaway?

If I'm off the mark that's fine, am just curious.

Yeah, I've noticed he seems upset. He might be feeling passionate and I hope he doesn't get himself modded for talking angry. I know I've been that way when trolls on the Pokemon board try to get a rise out of people.

Hes one of the least funny popular comedians on the market. Gaffigan is better than him.

I think he is niche myself. Not too many people are going to enjoy a guy playing with puppets and make metaphysical jokes about arguing with himself.

Kradek posted...

Nah, there's actual political comedians who do it well, because that's what they focus on and they're politically engaged. Dean Obeidallah, for example, does jokes from a progressive Muslim Palestinian perspective. But I agree that unless that's what you're making your bread and butter, people should take political takes from comedians with a grain of salt.

Would also recommend John Fugelsang, Stephanie Miller, and Frangela.

I guess you're right. They are likely better than the ones my grandparents puts on. One example being one guy who wouldn't stop ripping into his wife for the whole routine.

I also don't really watch that many stand-ups anyway. I kinda prefer quirky game shows like Idiotest and Snake Oil when it comes to comedy.

Mr_Karate_II posted...

I do agree about it needing to be changed because it could trigger sexual assault victims.

Anyone who bring up old ass games and how nobody saying this or not wanting to hear other players spouting off racist,misogynistic,sexual,etc shit wouldn't last in 2000's COD lobby should never be taken seriously and needs to grow the fuck up.

There was never room for that shit back then or even now, it's uncalled for and just really fucked up.

I unfortunately still hear similar shit when in a party with randoms for a Playlist in GTA online. Countless times I've left the party and game because of people saying stupid hateful shit, reporting does zero fucking good.

If you defend any of that behavior,grow the fuck up and stop trying to be edgy.

I'd like to think most of the people who did it back then and do it now are just trying to be edgy but unfortunately there's people who are actually that way and not trying to be edgy.

That's why I suggested tiptoeing. I got the idea from the Wrath of Neo Cortex Crash game when it was used to go over Nitro blocks. I kinda want to play it again.

It makes me wish that comedians were less politically charged. or at least use politics as a legit source of humor. The only one I feel that does that well is Jeff Dunham and he plays with puppets.

I think it was one of the Tenchu games (Tenchu Z?) where holding the stealth button while running just resulted in a slightly slower, more mindful run, and I really, really appreciated that compared to crouch walking everywhere. Crouch walking, especially in armor like in Assassin's Creed, has always looked so dumb to me. It makes sense when next to a short fence you're ducking behind or something like that, but otherwise it just looks goofy.

I think crouching in general should be a context-based action. If you press stealth but you're behind a wall or sneaking up on someone from behind, crouching doesn't make you more stealthy. But if you're in some brush or tall grass, or behind a short fence, absolutely crouch.

My idea was more simple, but I also like this. Reminds me how the scarecrow guy in Bad Fur Day talked about "context sensitive".

No, I do not like your scrotum in my face, regardless what game you won. Teabagging mimics abuse of a corpse and it could bring PTSD in some sexual assault victims.

I happen to be one such person who was lucky to have avoided molestation myself and yet every time I am subject to this, I feel like the person doesn't see me as a person on the other end and regulated to a piece of meat.

In Elden Ring, it's rampant and there's no shortage of punks online who do this and in other circles, it will get you banned.

Seriously, do an emote, spin around in circles, wave your weapon around. Heck, I'd rather you anything else than think this is okay. It's not and the more people start losing accounts for this, the more people will learn to respect a person's boundaries.

Is that like typing the word "delete" and pressing the delete button?

Got a screenshot to share?

No.

I guess I'm...neither? I'm certainly a veteran with over 20 years of gaming under my belt and I play many different games, ranging from approachable series like Pokemon to demanding ones like Elden Ring.

And my silly behind tried to put both together by making a Gym Leader Clair cosplay in Elden Ring.

My hip is killing me. Woke up about an hour ago when I moved during my sleep.

...what?

I mean, my book idea has bizarre fanservice-y moments and if I made a video game adaptation, it wouldn't be on Playstation. The "main hook" would never fly under their guidelines and I'm from the West to begin with.

I would love flowers myself. One of my aspirations in life is to become a florist.

And actually, once you think about it for a moment, Pesto is NOT the type of guy who would participate in 1/6. You need no more proof beyond the fact that Pesto never (AFAIK) smashed Bob's front windows.

Why, did he threaten to do that at one point? I've really only watched one episode of Bob's Burgers and it was "Seaplane!".

I wonder if she has some pr team, cause goddam what a bad move. Letting everyone know what a psychopath she is. I mean MAGA is okay with certain psychopath behavior, she couldve said she killed minority for sports and may have gotten the VP nom, but dogs... 98% of America loves dogs. And its also her BS reasoning to do so.

I'm not fond of dogs myself, but even I know she's beyond problematic.

its not up to me what you are allowed to do

i am saying that if it is moddable to answer 'yes' to the genuine question 'am i crazy', then asking it in the first place should be moddable

thats all

I'm not trying to bait people, I'm just legit worried that my desire for crayons is a headspace thing as far as my thoughts go.

I'm not allowed to ask if I'm crazy? Because my brother dug into me because I was wanting one so bad.

Get those little wax soda bottles full of juice. Then just eat the whole thing. It'll be like Gushers

I like Gushers, but I want a crayon.

they got vampire teeth ones

Don't like those either.

Robot2600 posted...

maybe get some candy wax lips to eat?

Ew, no. I've had those and I don't like the redness of the lips. It's a bit off-putting.

Pica is a strange beast (not that I've been formally diagnosed), but it feels normal to eat crayons, paper and cardboard to me.

It feels better than actual food sometimes and I don't know why.

Am I crazy?

Is it made with actual urine stains?

Who in there right mind would boil a whole frog?
