"and I have always seen these antics as mostly miniscule and harmless." Just because it doesn't bother you doesn't mean that it shouldn't bother others. I've talked to gay people who play games, and they want to do so as an escape from the world, like everyone else. But it's really hard for that to happen when they constantly have these slurs hurled at them just like they do in real life. "Are we so easily offended " Why do you find it acceptable to blame the targets of this, instead of blaming those that are hurling the toxicity. "Do we all need to remember the sticks and stones rhyme our parents taught us?" You mean the one that has never, ever been true? "Aren't we better off by learning how to be unbothered by this stuff?" Again, why do you seem to want to encourage toxic people to be toxic?
