Is it always bad manners to teabag and make yourself look stupid by shaking your head around?

I think it's just showing the killer that I intend to have fun rather than teasing the killer. I often get tunnelled whenever I press crouch in succession. No flashlight or ds just trying to weird the killer out frequently gets misinterpreted as a toxic survivor.

    If I show you the middle finger in RL, would you consider it as joke? 
    T-bagging doesn’t trigger me personally, but for most people on the internet it’s a common used gesture to show your disrespect towards someone.
    This right here. Unless you know the person, it’s generally taken as a form of BM. Lots of folks use the PSN app to know its me, some some folks that are on my friends list t-bag me when we get matched, then I know they are just screwing around with me. Though most use it to know it’s me and considering I play mostly Nurse, they toss that damn Haddonfield or Lery’s offering up cause they know Nurse has an issue with those maps.

    I think it makes really funny moments when killers play along. I'm ok with being tunnelled but getting facecamped is a bit much as I didn't do anything toxic just bobbing around with urban evasion.

    tbagging is now universally agreed to be BM. You are disrespecting the killer and taunting him. Usually the taunts come after you pallet slammed him or are at the exit gate.

    I applaud you for tbagging at the exit. You earned it and i dig the animation. But do that to me in the game you are asking for trouble so i will give it to you.

    I mainly teabag to communicate with the killer rather than to cause offense. I never teabag at a pallet or exit. I just stare at the killer at the exit.

    You may or may not tbag a killer, but if you miss the tbag ritual with a fellow survivor, you are surely going to hell.

    Agreed. If I rescue you from the hook and heal you to full, I expect a complementary t-bag.

    I think it depends on the situation at hand. With me if a survivor t-bags at a pallet it might have been simply trying to get my attention. If it continues like this I assume they are simply being toxic.
    If a survivor t-bags when they are trapped in a corner or realizes they just got outplayed as I turn the corner I assume its "friendly". I also never find anyone shaking their head up and down or side to side to be toxic as i too as a killer will do it.
    So no I don't think its always to be considered toxic.

    Of course tbagging is BM, we dont really have to argue about that do we?
    If you BM, then you can be expect to be treated like that too, tunneling is a really soft punishment, be glad you didnt get camped

    I like to re-use my t bags for each killer.

    Regardless of your intention (which I don't believe to be genuine), it will come across as BM, and that's all that matters as far as other players are concerned.

    Teabagging almost always comes across as BM, but it does depend on the situation. Lots of times it's obvious the survivor is just memeing and it's funny.

    Waving your head around has always been funny to me also, I don't really see that as BM :P

    I have a problem with trying to be friendly towards killers. I just wanna look at them and play.
