TF2: Psychology Of Taunts

Why do we taunt? Taunting is everywhere in videogames let alone just TF2 - people have always found ways to jeer at opponents to rile them up or to laugh at their downfall. This video explores research into why we find pleasure in witnessing other's misfortune (Schadenfreude). This phenomenon even has it's own taunt in Team Fortress 2.

To clarify, I am not qualified in higher education psychological academia. I made this video to the best of my ability with my current resources to convert what I thought to be some interesting research into a perhaps more digestible or accessible format. You should refer to the original paper for the information in it's truest form, where credit is due.
