Quit possibly. One only has to spend a little time playing online to realize the gaming community is rife with slurs and hatespeech. Play a really popular game online like Gears of War or Halo 3 and you're sure to be verbally assaulted by a 10 year old screaming profanity and sexual/ethnic slurs within the hour.
Anyways, an interesting video about the site Gaygamers.net. The first few seconds can be pretty shocking, as it is a montage of slurs and genuine hatred. For example, one of the clips has a gamer saying, "I wanna hang you because you're gay. It's not nice, but it's true," so be warned.
nothing after the jump
