These people don't play games and don't get joy from anything unless they are outraged or persecuted. So they don't understand what video games are. Videogames are like alien lifeforms to them.
Anyone who's ~33- 38 who played fighting games or fps games with friends would probably call people faggots or jews on the internet when they lost at games. That's just how the language worked back then, it's unfair to judge using current day levels of woke.
Its also how you can tell they never were in the hobby. Calling each other faggot was common. The word is basically meaningless since its directed at pretty much everyone. Its just a general insult.
Ah, now it all becomes clear. Dude in a dress making a living from being offended on the internet finds something new on the internet to be offended about.

Imagine writing such a bigass wall of text over a now quite irrelevant dude calling someone a fag on the internet.
Where I live we have a saying : A Journalist is either a bitch or unemployed. It doesn't translate very well, but you get the idea.
I'll take queer gamers seriously when they spend more time in BGs than they do posting screencaps of their fabulous transmogs, writing Malfurion/Illidan slashfics, and referring to themselves as SO INCREDIBLY GAYYYYYY.
Lol more like Ana Fag-lens XD ain't I funny fellow gamerz?1?!
Seriously though if you can't take the bantz just turn off chat/voip or play a single-player game. Vidya is a huge medium, if you don't like something leave.
It must be a slow news year when a screen name calling another screen name "fag" results in almost 2,000 words of hard-hitting coverage and deep research into a screen name's social media account. Did Trump order the same item off the White House brunch menu this week? Because it'd be weird if he picked tofu dogs instead of lamb's fry and it got overlooked.
Then I remember there's a whole brigade of these people still getting paid for this.
One time when I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2, I tried to 'Greet' a woman and accidentally shot her in the face.
Quick, someone forward this hot lead to Ana Valens. We must address the issue of men playing single-player campaigns getting buttons mixed up leading to rampant misogyny with a phone book sized essay.
You're not thinking like a real SJW, you amateur. Instead, why would the bigot devs even allow violence against women as legitimate gameplay experience built into their game or by "accident"?! Make a movie of it!
Yes but they only call each other faggas, not faggots. i.e. 'what's good my fagga?', or 'you suck any nice dicks lately fagga?' Faggot is still considered hurtful.

Man, fuck all that "Why would they do/say this thing if they weren't guilty? Seems suspicious to me!" bullshit. It's the same retarded line of thinking that lefties use against Trump supporters. If you aren't a racist/sexist/homophobe/xenophobe/xylophone, why would you have voted for Trump?
The TNG episode "The Drumhead" had a good discussion on this. TNG's subtext is generally somewhat SJWy but it can be used against them in this case:
