Well if we're basing it on what kind of insults get thrown out. We'll need safe places for: 30+ or 40+ yo virgins. People who live with their parents. People who live in their parents basement. Anyone who works in fast food. Each and every racial group, because they kinda throw those out like candy. Rednecks, people with heavy southern accents...etc. Just so people don't assume they are hooking up with family members or animals. Furries. Asians who are bad at math. Fat people, everyone hates fat people now. And probably a whole lot of other insults/stereotypes and what not that are throw out to upset people in games. Some of the above are things you can't keep to yourself (race, accent, fatness), unlike your sexuality, but even the people part of those groups and insulted by the barbs online probably would feel silly setting up a special game event. Are they going to test your gayness? What if you're a gay that insults gays? I mean more power to them, but a whole lot of people get insulted in games in a whole lot of ways. Showing you are intimidated/affected by it just means they win. Hell I had a relative who was deaf with other handicaps and people used to make fun of the deaf group he hung out with....until they picked up a big bulky deaf member who threatened to and started beating the shit out of those people. That's what those kind of people respond to, having their face smashed.
