Uncharted 4: many, many exploding mummies...
Oh you said best traps in games and not absolutely worst traps.
There is a quest in skyrim where you can fall in a very obvious trap by some crazy npc guy in some cave. Kind of funny to finish him of afterwards.

Because it's a term that's come up in ways that it's easy for people to not know the derogatory meaning behind it. Plus, you have some trans people who call themselves the word without any problem doing so, because they don't take it as seriously as others do. So "spending more than an hour on the internet" is no guarantee that you're going to know the full potential meaning behind the word, no.
Plus, characters like Bridget absolutely are traps, so it can probably be hard for some to know the difference between, say, Bridget and Poison, unless they actually have some deeper knowledge on the whole subject of being transgender—which is far, far more people than those who do have said knowledge. There's often way too much assumption on how much general society knows or should be expected to know about what it means to be trans.
Those who know the deeper meaning and rush to post examples like Poison are totally obnoxious people, but I don't think you can just assume everybody falls into that category. Some legitimately believe that "trap" is just a more slang and internet-born term for "trans" (just like how there are tons of people who think "tranny" is the same and don't know that many people take offense to that word).
Anyway.

I never figured out if you could 100% avoid the damage from those things. I died multiple times doing what I thought I was supposed to do and I ended up clearing the area just avoiding as much damage as possible as opposed to the whole blast.

From the Sonic 3 manual
"Traps" being collision glitches that the devs didn't/couldn't fix.
That's amazing.
holy shit :lol

the classic.
Demons Souls.

Giant pit near the beginning surrounded with messages "Jump here" "item below" etc.? Check.
Boulder trap that will almost certainly crush you because you aren't expecting it, but can be used to dispatch an ambush (3 enemies in a direct line, would also almost certainly kill you) check.
Items placed near fire breathing dragons that look like you could ALMOST reach them and bypass him? (I mean I guess you can if you're good, but I never was) check.
Probably a few more I'm missing, like undead with a molotov near explosive barrels, that's always fun too.

It's almost like you didn't bother to read the thread, hmmmm how curious
The original image posted wasn't making a reference to "traps" in a derogatory sense. In the show Fred has an almost fetishistic obsession with literal traps like we are discussing in the thread. It got misconstrued as something offensive, because there are other obnoxious posters in this thread making jokes about "traps."
These are not the traps you are looking for.

The women is literally posing with a couple of traps though... There's a running gag through Mystery Incorporated that Fred is obsessed with coming up with elaborate traps for the monsters.
FFXII had mimics hiding as goddamn savepoints, so i nominate those
Imagine Dark Souls would do that
Oh yes that was a good one. I remember getting through a fairly long dungeon and finally reaching the end of it, seeing that crystal and getting overjoyed as that means that I can heal my party. Well... I actually still managed to beat it but it was absolutely tense.

I mean being misinformed is definitely an issue here, but that doesn't necessarily change things. I would hope the mod posted an explanation as to why what was done was offensive and educated the banned users.
That being said:
That's straight up fucked up. Misinformation in society is a definite issue to say the least, but to say that society shouldn't be expected to know these things at all? If you truly think that trans people shouldn't expect to not be called a trap or a tranny when they are going about their daily lives, there is an issue there. This is nothing about you personally and I am not casting aspersions on your character, but what you said there was super fucked imo.

Not exactly an intended trap, but a trap none the less.
That image is literally referring to the kind of traps this thread is about.
I'll reply via PM, so that I don't help contribute to further cluttering of the thread. But, I think you misunderstand what I meant.

The point they're making is that this thread is full of unceremonious bans for posts suggesting what your post suggests. You would be wise to rescind it, I think.

You can just activate the trap from the max distance and run away faster than the server makes the check.
It's actually a running joke based on Fred's obsession with literal traps in that show.

So many accidental deaths. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Corey and Lori Ann were brainstorming them.

I love Gwylan's Stand because of how many traps are in the quest. The force trap near a chest killed me by surprise when I first played it.
Mimic in DS1 were pretty good, but it really feel like there were too many in DS3. They are also still dangerous in DS3 even if you strike them first.
This doesn't trigger me as It should once I realized there is enough time to avoid the fall if you press the wrong lever.
Fuck Castle Oztroja though.

Probably the most funny interpretation of the fake chests.
Serious question: Did Dark Souls invent the image of a mimic with long legs that likes to kick you upside the head? Because my image of mimics before then were just treasure chests that tried to eat you, without any complex leg based combos and such

The Mimic in Senn's Fortress is a brilliant trap. They kind of abused the mechanic in DS2 & 3, and they don't really work as well once you've encountered one already, but that first time is special.
Hah, Patches is such an asshole. You would think we would have learned after five games
Not going to speak for them, but I can see where there coming from. You can't actually have an expectation for any average person, out in the world or on the internet, to possess that knowledge. Also as for just spening time on the internet, I really don't see how that correlates to any amount of information absorbed on that topic. Where would it come up? It's certainly not a term used derisively in anime circles. I'm all for educating people, but the spread of knowledge on this subject maybe quite a smaller than you might assume.
On-Topic: Mimics from DS, but Deception IV is super good. hit em with the axe.

Imagine Dark Souls would do that
Didn't Dark Souls have a bonfire mimic? Or am I crossing my wires with some unused concept from on of the DS games?
In response to the thread, all of Sen's Fortress really sticks out to me. Lots of switches and standard traps, horrible pits with horrible shit at the bottom, surprise bombardments and of course the first mimic in that game.

Most killed?
No bonfire mimic.
Yesssss you are correct. That's exactly what I was remembering.
Oh man. That would be cruel. Specially in the earlier games where bonfires are more spread out.
Who call themselfs traps probably either don't know the term or are just gay crossdressers because the MEANING of the term implies they are men.
The IDEA of the term is based on "ew it is a man".
I don't believe anyone thinks otherwise.
Bridget is NOT a "trap" in the sense. The whole point of the character is to prove that he is an heterosexual cis male. Anyone that knows the character knows this.
Yes it can be hard to differentiate bridget and poison because for every user of the trap term they are both MEN IN WOMEN CLOTHING
We expect at this point that society knows that it is transphobic to call a trans woman a man.
WHY would anyone think that TRAP could be a good term ?
Is the same as saying someone saying shemale is doing it in good terms.
If the person posted without thinking than the person deserves the ban
Proportionaly. Specialy if you count suicide rates
I honestly can't remember the game but there was one where you'd step on a landmine and it would spring up so you'd have a second to realize how fucked you are, and kill everyone around it. I think the first time that it happens time slows down as well.
Also, the camouflaged alligators from Far Cry 3, first time that happened to me made me jump.

Now I kind of wish that was a real thing, because OMFG what a dirty trick it would be...
Guy posts Fred image. Because Fred likes traps. The thread is about traps. I wasn't referring to transgenders, if it came off that way, I apologize.
