General statement: I am curious to know why folks go on the attack like that. I mean, other than your friends, who would even know what your orientation is??
I don't see a sign on you that tells anyone what you are.
And...if it comes out in conversation around a homophobe, then that's their problem not yours. I've said it before, we can't control other people. Only us and how we react. It may be hurtful, but people have to learn to ignore the ignorance.

And honestly it just ISNT that easy to ignore.. I get it everyones open to opinions but i was doing absolutely nothing wrong... To just start being randomly attacked like that. It's really depressing and just deters me from Yo.

It's rare for me to encounter something like this so i usually have no idea how to handle it.. So it just brings me down...Waaay down, to ground level even.

Especially if the constant badgering leads you to a suicide attempt.
(Not referring form an incident that stemmed form Yo, but just in general...)

I apologize if this will sound mean but.. NOTHING should cause you to even contemplate suicide for even a brief moment. NOTHING. coming from someone who has faced a traumatic death experience, life is a gift. You shouldn't let anyone or anything take it from you.

They don't know who you are or what you look like or anything about you. It's pretty likely that if there had been another person there instead of you, they would have gotten picked on too.
Anyone who is stupid enough to sit behind a computer screen and talk crap really isn't worth your time or concern. I really don't get how so many players get "hurt" in a game. Anything said to you is totally meaningless. People come here and complain about getting kicked or any other number of things and it REALLY DOESN'T MATTER........it's a game and 90% of the taunters and bully's are only doing it because they CAN and they know no one can do anything about it. Let it go. Forget it. The best thing to do is poof and don't let it bother you.
They can call you names, call you fat call you ugly, call you a million different things, and the truth of the matter is they have no idea if you are fat or skinny, black or white or purple, old or young, etccc......they are just trying to push buttons and when you let them, they win.

2. I know it's a game but it is still a form of harassment or bullying.
3. I went and made some potato salad and i feel a little better now.
