Why do people get mad when teabagged or flashlight clicked?

I personally love when a survivor does it cause it just waste there time especially when they follow me and click. What do you guys think about teabagging and clicking?

    It's typically used to be annoying which is literally why some people find it annoying.


    Some people also find a killer smacking them after every hook annoying or a killer nodding after every down.


    When someone does something annoying to try to get on people's nerves it usually gets on some people's nerves if you enjoy it that's fine. But realise you don't represent everybody

    I think you misunderstood i don't do it i like when its done to me

    Yea i think teabaggers and clickers have very fragile egos and thats why they try to bully but if they get outplayed they just dc and ruin the game for everyone

    It was more a message to all those who do it. I never support face-camping, but if someone wants to disrespect me, then I'll reply ten-fold.

    a good way to break focus of the killer, especially if done after undeserved pallet stun/won chases.

    It's basically taunting. Before I even knew it was t-bagging, i knew crouching multiple times (How that's teabagging is beyond me, what are you teabagging? The air?) was taunting the killer. If you're trying to get me to chase you instead of a teammate who's on their death hook, its fine. But if I'm already chasing you, its basically taunting.

    when survivors do annoying stuff to me like following me around flash lighting me or taunting I just forget the game and just go after them until I get them dead then problem solved.

    It's taunting. Taunting sux.

    The difference is that killers can only do it once per chase. When they catch you. I usually just laugh. Like "yeah yeah ya got me." And if they camp me to death it just means I chased for too long and they are pissed about it. I still count it as a win and laugh.

    But survivors can do it at every pallet and window. The ability to taunt more frequently is annoying. Particularly with how easy it can be to loop a killer once you know how.

    People take minor things in this game way too personally. If i'm clicking the flashlight or using some teabag action towards the killer, it's because I'm trying to lead them away from a certain area as bait.

    The reason I find tea bagging and flash light clicking annoying, is that when I play killer I go out my way to play as fair as possible. I'll even ignore recently unhooked survivors to go after a healthy survivor, even if the unhooked survivor runs into me.

    Playing fair as killer in 2020 at red ranks makes playing killer harder then it is already.

    I've played against this Steve who was recently unhooked, and he ran into me, I ignored and walked around him to go after a healthy survivor. Next time I saw him he would constantly t bag me at every pallet.


    Although if a Feng Min T bags me, I'll just leave them and give them the hatch. As I find t bagging Feng MIn's amusing.

    Why do you guys get triggered when you are facecamped, tunneled and mori'ed?

    T bagging is often associated with being disrespectful and toxic towards the enemy. I do get that some people just tbag for fun, but some really do that to bully the killer. Personally I don't really care though and feel like some people react way to sensitive towards that.

    Flashlight clicking, now that is just annoying.

    I don't like flashlight clicking because it interfere's with my ability to hear sounds - which, you know, is an extremely important tool for Killer. At the same time it's annoying. This goes for the same with the survivors that notification spam. Other than that it's annoying and bad manners. While playing Killer to begin with is the most stressful part of the game, you have to face these survivors who are too ignorant to understand that without you they won't get to play the game at all.

    It's almost like the majority of survivors don't care if the Killers all just stopped playing. Apart of why I play survivor more now. Killer just isn't fun anymore, and you don't even get respect after dealing with the bs. I'll happily face bby killers as a red rank 1 survivor because none of the seasoned killers play anymore.

    I dont at all, I think its funny and useful because they are wasting their time desperately trying to get attention

    Many of us were raised during a time where you respected the competitive nature and your opponent. People now days have zero class, zero empathy and act like winning a game of DbD is somehow the pinnacle of existence.

    When you spam flashlights, buttdance or act toxic, you are disrespecting someone you don't even know. That shows you are a fragile minded, entitled brat that can't function properly in society. Unfortunately, there are a lot of those and the number is growing.

    I try to practice the concept of acting like I'm in the room with the person and there might be uncomfortable consequences if you act disrespectful in that setting.

    People get mad because it's a rude gesture. Try googling the meaning of it.

    You might be okay with the implications of it, bit others arent as tolerant.

    People will use it as an excuse to camp/tunnel. It does absolutely nothing to the quality of your match as killer so it is used as an excuse. I've never been bothered by someone teabagging or clicking a flashlight.


    If they aren't the one being chased they're wasting time. If they are the one being chased they will be down soon more than likely anyway.

    I find it to be a show of disrespect. "HA! I am better than you". I noticed that the bad survs tend to do it of they are proud of a move they got off. I don't see many good survs do it anymore.

    I am a survivor main though but I do like to play a few matches as killer for the daily, Tomb, and when I need a surv break. I don't do it though, even when the killer is being suuuuuper extra

    It's from FPS games where you can keep crouching and uncrouching on top of people you've killed as if you were teabagging them. It's meant as a means of disrespect there and the gesture is famous enough to know it's meant as a means of disrespect here.

    Flashlight clicking extends the blindness duration and can be disabling. That's why I hate it anyways.

    Umm facecamping tunneling and moris actually help the killer while teabagging and clicking just waste the survivors time
