    You say that but I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if gamers as a demographic are more liberal than average.

      Maybe the general gaming public but probably not among capital G Gamers™ who are the loud minority on the internet.

      I think gamers are more reactionary than average. Gamers gave us Gamergate which eventually gave us Trump.

        This article about a gaming console was posted in a gaming community and you’re complaining that the term “gamers” is being used too much? Which term would you prefer, game enthusiasts?
