Aside from the unfortunate tendency to use 'gay' as a synonym for 'stupid', I think most of the sexualized speech in WoW comes down to the fact that yes, they're adolescent/college age gamers, and nobody will put out for them in real life. There's no way to count the proportion of girl gamers or socially well-adjusted male gamers, because they have other outlets and they're not contributing to the [anal] conversation.
