SE should never have implement squat emote

[Lemuel81]

Let me say this.........People need to have respect for others in game, as much as they do in real life. I get tired of people saying, "Well it's just a game, get over it". Well it's a game with an actual person with actual feelings, running an avatar. Kill them in pvp and then give them a hug (be the bigger man). That's saying far more that it's all in good fun, then someone shoving their big butt in their face as they lay dead on the ground. We all know what this "one" gesture means. Forget all the other emotes available to you. You don't see football players doing this to each other in competition, wonder why? So quit saying it's a competition thing and it's a game. Geesh I can't believe some of the responses condoning this one emote's used in this way as being okay. I get what the OP is saying.

Not so much about condoning it, but if you cannot handle it in game, how do you handle people in real life? These days in games and real life, especially in real life you need a thick skin.

Watch too many people get offended and they end up removing emotes from pvp entirely further making it worse than it already is.

Emotes neither add to or take away from PvP in any way. I'm against removing them because it'd be pointless to do so. And because they're, you know, emotes...which don't really harm anyone.

Anything can be sexual harrasment if you think hard enough, even a bunch of pixels. Sorry not every corner of the internet can be a safe space.

If SE removes an exercise emote because someone get "offended" by it ... then i don't even know anymore .. might aswell just remove all emotes at that point cause it wont be long before someone get offended by the /greet emote too.

Hey guys, new idea, Person VS Person self esteem boosting hug fest, who ever can compliment the fastest and give the biggest huggies win!

Yah no. Its player VS player and if tea bagging has led you to quit other games, I mean I don't know what to really say that isn't the cold hard truth. You just have to stop playing or build some Intestinal fortitude.

The most insulting thing to me is that it's not even a real squat! Someone at SE never learned the term "Ass on the grass".

wow, people are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for things to piss and moan about in this content drought.

Maybe I'll make a thread complaining about the need to log in to play the game. Heck, perhaps I can take it a step further and complain about having the play the game at all.

and various other nonsensical BS that people complain about.
