Teabagging is wrong unless it's someone on your own team who just got sleepdarted
Then you should definitely run over and teabag them
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Etiquette question: is it bad manners to emote after an awesome kill or PotG-quality moment?
I'd never teabag or flame, but I'm suddenly fearful that like laughing or sitting is considered more disrespectful than celebratory.
I'm not sure. I mostly find that sort of thing childish than offensive or annoying.
As long as you're not teabagging, I guess, which seems like a universally dickish move held over from the early 2000s.
Like the other day I won not 1, but *2* 1v1s against the same enemy DVa... as MERCY. As in, I shot her out of her mech AND killed zero suit DVa before she could kill me. AS MERCY. (Well ok the first 1v1 wasn't REALLY a 1v1 cuz I did have the held of an ally's Discord orb. But the second one was me at full HP versus her at full HP with no one else around.)
Then later in the match, she kills me once after I've retreated from a fight (I was at ~50% hp) and then sprays and teabags me... as zero suit DVa, because even with 50% hp I STILL GOT HER OUT OF HER MECH BEFORE I DIED.
Like, WHAT?!
Sadly for a lot of people who do that, it's just instinct at this point. Like you could offer them $20 not to do it for one match and they still wouldn't be able to help themselves.
For whatever reason I mind the post-kill emote a lot less than the teabag, assuming the person actually did something cool to justify it.
At least emoting is potentially risky since you can't cancel it. I remember one round months ago at the end of Gibraltar where we wiped the enemy team and two or three of us emoted. That's when the Mercy rezzed from spawn and at least two of us were completely helpless. We lost that one.

This hasn't happened in-game yet but I DREAM of booping someone into a pit or off the map while they are emoting. Preferably as Pharah, just cuz.

I've watched my brother (usually on D.Va) sit after PotG moments and get popped out of his mech. I tend to go for Tracer's sit emote, 'cause you can blink around during the recovery animation.

Unless it's a team kill or a Victory screen I won't emote because I've seen way too many emotes punctuated by a Mercy flying in and reviving the whole team.

I cannot bring myself to nerf this:
"now I've got this mental image of caucuses as cafeteria tables in prison, and new congressmen having to beat someone up on inauguration day." - Raiden333
I must be strange. When I kill someone(s) I immediately move on to kill more.
This depends on awesomeness of play / confidence levels.
Edit: I raised the question last night because my latest PotG was a pulse bomb triple and then a quick clip into Lucio's face while my team popped D.Va out of her mech, and Tracer's laugh emote.
Then I urbandictionary'd "BM" and realized I may have been being rude this whole time, which - as a Canadian, and a feeling person - I find abhorrent.

I really wish the game made public all those times folks tried to be all bragging/teabaggy/emotey/spray-y and immediately get wrecked for it.
Every time I see a McCree do a pre-High Noon brag only to get wrecked when he tries to perform my heart grows two sizes.
There's got to be a YouTube video of this exact thing happening to various players.

Mercy killing someone, yeah you can teabag or emote or whatever, I'll take it, especially if you killed someone 100%.
Roadhog doing cheap hooks and killing you, or 76 doing garbage kills only contirbuting <20% to the kill? Yeah bros, check your shit, you ain't all that.
My worst/favorite was a Bastion on Hanamura who never took me solo - always with 2 or three others - and he would teabag me after every kill.
PotG was me throwing a pulse bomb onto the point in overtime as he went tank form and his Genji pulled his sword. The bomb takes out Genji, another squishy and most of Tank Bastion, my McCree finishes Teabagger McGee and I wreck their Zen to finish clearing the point, winning the match.
He quit the lobby before the cards appeared.

I generally save my more taunting emotes or lines until the absolute last few seconds of the match after we've won, because duh. Roasting some sucker who tried to teabag/pose at the wrong time is delicious.

Oh my, that thing Hanzo is wearing is apparently the male version of the "virgin killing sweater" that is trending at the moment.
See, I thought it was just the old jock standby "old workout shirt". Like the thing you'd wear under football pads, or when you go to the gym. And then keep wearing other times to let people KNOW that you wore it those first times. Like yoga pants being worn to not-yoga. And yeah, still stupid because it's not a whole shirt.
Do you, in fact, have any builds in this shop at all?
Ran into my first bot in 3v3. He was on my team and just was a lucio who stayed in spawn and ran into a wall the entire match. Lost 3 rounds to 2 even a man down. Reported but wtf.

Oddly, I had both my best and worst such events just yesterday. A Tracer and two of her teammates caught me behind their lines and executed me, whereupon she teabagged me and switched to Widow seconds later since it was Random Heroes and she died while teabagging. Then, for some reason, she decided it would be a good idea to snipe from behind our line, standing right next to a cliff. I was Lucio, and it was a looong way down. She spent the whole rest of the match ranting at me for being a hacker and threatening to get my account cancelled.
In another game on King's Row, a teammate got Mccree and ult'ed a quad kill right by point B, so we climbed up on the payload and /sat, riding it comfortably all the way home.

In the compassionate spirit of Viv and Escape Goat's observation about flankers on the last page, I gotta' think this Widow just didn't understand that Lucio has a boop (and then handled new information very poorly). Like remember that Deadspin article by a guy who had no idea how Lucio's heals worked after two weeks of maining him?
I think my brother and I had been playing for three months when, one day, astounded and furious that his D.Va ult hadn't earned a team wipe, I had to explain to him that Rein's shield can block that.

Was defending Eichenwald as Reinhardt. Our Sym covered the bridge in turrets as is the norm. Their Reinhardt kept trying to charge through to break the choke since his team was sucking. I'd counter charge and we'd both get knocked down, except one of us had 6 turrets nuking him as he recovered.
I teabag when I'm frustrated and losing because it's all i've got. Experience on the receiving end is usually the same. It's a sign of defeat, not victory.

it's the revenge teabag
Then you should definitely run over and teabag them
well it's dumb and folks should stop being big ol babies

btw getting slept while among allies can be like getting a hug because they start taking up sentry around you to protect your poor prone body
it's sweet
Spray and nod is for quadrakills.
Teabagging is stupid. Be witty.
