let's talk about it! I remember there was a thread some time ago about someone using a gay username and have other players being nasty. IDK if that thread is still active. but blah.
Well, I play Minecraft & Transformice online. Minecraft, I play on an LGBT server, so. On Transformice, yeah, things can get nasty & expressions like, "WOW UR SO GAY", and the occasional bashing arises, but I usually just ignore it, because most people on that game are not even worth it (even though I have made some friends from it). In general, when it comes to gaming online, and homophobia pops up, I don't bother responding to it / paying any mind to it.
So weird you ask, I today got called a faggot on an online game. It was pretty funny actually. Some guy was trying to make me angry by repeatedly telling me I was angry and to show him my dick. He also posted on my profile within the game that I am a faggot that is an 'age player' and 'fucks children'. I also give great blow jobs and have a tight ass hole allegedly. The game in question has such lack of moderation and is a breeding ground for trolls. One of them spoofed my username and started posting crap too. It was all probably because they'd noticed I was in a GSA within the game...
Eh, I don't let it get to me. I've been called a "faggot" and other stuff while playing NHL 13, but it's not that big of a deal, IMO. Terms like that are just said when playing online.
Its pretty prevalent in most games I play. Can't say it bothers me anymore at this point. Hear/read gay or faggot every 10 seconds playing Counter-Strike: Source, so it kinda loses its meaning or effectiveness.
A few years back that would have definitely upset me, but nowadays it takes a lot to offend me. I just ignored the guy and reported the account. Not like anything will be done. I was more pissed off about him spoofing my username as his own!
