Yo, older gay guy checking in. I'm completely blown away by the amount of homophobic slurs and abuse thrown over the voice and text chat in this game (playing on EU servers here). It used to be that I would just mute, etc and try to play through it, but it feels never-ending and triggers all this weird anxiety from growing up in my anti-gay, violent hometown.
When it happens, it makes me not even want to play and I sometimes just immediately Alt+F4 to go for a walk with the dogs.
Seems like there's nothing really to do about it? I'm almost having to report in every match.
