mocking
This term carries a strong negative connotation of superiority and cruelty. While teasing can be playful or affectionate, mocking is specifically designed to belittle or demean the target. It often involves a performative element, such as mimicking someone's voice or gestures to make them appear ridiculous.
As a noun, the word describes the general activity of ridicule. Because it functions as a gerund, it behaves as an uncountable noun when referring to the abstract act of derision, though it can occasionally be used in a countable sense when referring to specific instances of mockery.
