If someone calls you a slur, or whatever, in a game, chances are they don't care about the aspect of you they're badmouthing - they don't know you enough to care. To me, it's usually either saying shit just for the sake of it, or it's like a subconscious test of whether you have a stick up your ass, and if you actually get mad or offended, you've failed the test.

or you are playing a game that has a large and toxic playerbase, and not 100% gamers are great people, thus, you are talking to someone who is more of a normie than other gamers.
