A Solution for Tea-bagging
Has anyone played Aliens: Fireteam Elite? You cannot crouch unless against a wall, in which case it snaps you too it. This way the crouch can't be abused.
Another more extreme idea - time spent crouching at the gate is calculated to deduct points from that survivor.

This however would remove some counterplay against killers like Hag or Pyramid Head. It would also force Urban Evasion to a rework.
I don't know, tea-bagging is annoying, but I'd rather have a survivor lose distance by tea-bagging in front of me than having a head start after dropping a pallet.

Tbagging has been in online games as far back as I can remember and, unlike when this argument is used in other contexts (such as using slurs in endgame chat 🧍) , is actually harmless. It's an attempt to get under your skin, a form of psychological warfare if you're feeling extra dramatic, and if you're making this post it's working.
Tbagging is objectively a bad idea. You lose seconds of distance pressing control. It's frustrating but has no impact on gameplay and is only done to be aggrevating.
I don't really think it needs to be "solved", and if you feel yourself being tilted by it easily then it could be indicative of something else.
(not to mention the above point of removing counterplay to Hag, Pyramid Head, removing what remained of the use of Urban Evasion, and would basically shoot down stealth once and for all).

I think teabagging is the least of our concerns for dbd.
Besides, it's just a gesture issue. Only thing hurt by this behavior is pride and feelings. Just learn to ignore it. Or better yet, join them with your own gestures for the lulz.
Also, there's not much in the way of in game communications for players on consoles which is why teabagging, or butt dancing as I prefer the term, is also developing into its own form of sign language. The more you play, especially as a survivor, the more you will pick up on subtle likely. Meanings or intentions behind individual butt dances.

Someone got tbagged at a gate... What's next where gonna make it so killers can't hit survivors on hooks. Or can't look up and down so they can't nod.

Im waiting for an English Killer with a perk "Not my cup of tea"
Survivor hit Crouch 3 times in a short time cause Exposed for 60sec.

I'm sorry, but I think those are stupid ideas. It just wouldn't work in this game. Teabagging is not an issue, and you guys seriously need to stop getting offended over everything in a game.

T bag is the last one of the problems in the need of a change right now.

The simplest solution to t-bagging is to just attach a status effect to it where crouching and standing rapidly induces Hindered or something like that.

There could just be a "cooldown" on it. You shouldn't be able to crouch and uncrouch 15 times in 4 seconds. This would definitely help ranged killers who need to throw over things to get hits.

I just played a match as killer.everyone escaped at same exit gate right after ceremoniously butt dancing for me. I sat there looking at them from the gateway. Then I moved on with my life and queued for another match. It was that easy.

It's really childish. Childish to do it and childish to let it bother you. They're not even teabagging you technically. They're rubbing their taint on the ground. Who knows what disease and bacteria these survivors carry?

"Psychological warfare if you're feeling extra dramatic"
I implore you to use your eyes further than the first two words you see.

So if a killer keeps nodding at you while you are bleeding to death or on a hook while he already won or during a match isn't toxic too for that kind of logic... Cause it's actually harmless and it's a psychological warfare that too... Meh, I'm unconvinced tbh

Bad behavior on both sides is ridiculous. However, survivors tend to be childish more often, especially, if they ran through gens in 5 minutes.

I don't think it particularly helps anyone that only one side can do any sort of gesturing (sort of wiggling around and hoping that your head accurately conveys information. Or whacking bits of scenery).
And literally half of what people can do with it is "taunt killer".

"Is only done to be aggrevating" yes. It sucks to be on the receiving end of it, but the entire purpose is to piss you off.
Hitting on hook, however, has the added gameplay bonus of losing you the trial basically by default vs le SWF whilst ensuring that one single survivor will receiving no enjoyment or Bloodpoints from the match.
At least vs tbaggers you can still play the game :/
Both of which are annoying but can't really be "solved" in any logical way asides from everyone simultaneously deciding to be a good person. And we've all seen the types of people that play this game; we have less chance of having MMR removed and replaced with something that actually functions in a semi-decent way to make the game fun again than we do of that happening.

in which case it snaps you too it.
Inb4 new survivor tech by spamming control it keeps snapping you forward at a much faster pace then normal running.
All to fix something that doesn't have any impact unless you want it to have one.

Here's your solution to tea-bagging: don't be a snowflake.

Just stop allowing it to get to you. It's a video game.

Honestly, teabagging is a valid psychological strategy in this game. It angers the killer and causes the killer to chase you. I play killer half the time and know better than to chase the survivor teabagging you or flash-light clicking at you. They are obviously trying to control your actions. If fact, in this type of game, mindgaming is a very massive part of this game. If you are falling for teabagging and flash-light clicking, you are obviously not as good at the game as you think you are.
