Its weirder than you think. The gaming audience is HUGE and DIVERSE! Surely you would think that there would be at least a sizable group that would back SJW ideals and make them stick at least a little...

But if you look at sales numbers for explicitly Feminist or SJW games, they are horrid. Next to no one plays them. Most of their sales end up being through bundles. Even with FemFreq pushing people to buy and play, sales numbers don't move at all.

Why is this? Why were other communities hit so hard, but gaming having such a backlash?

My theory is that Gaming is an active participation community. To be part of the gaming community you really need to either make games or play games. Simply talking about games isn't enough. The community will pan you for being an outsider. Anita Sarkeesian (or was it FullMac?) knew this, and that's why they spun the whole "lifelong gamer" BS.

You need to have gamer cred. Once you lose that, you're basically out.

Look at Leigh Alexander. She even has the epiphany "If I'm so influential, why am I so broke?" moment after trashing her gamer cred.

You will never stop gaming or gamers. You would literally have to detonate multiple EMP bombs across the globe to do it. We're like cockroaches... autistic cockroaches.

Why not 43 or 47? They are prime!

47 please, it's my favorite prime

I don't have a prime number fixation.

You can't prove anything.

It's too loud in here

I've been gaming since we were rubbing two pixels together to make graphics. No hipster or Feminist is going to push me out of my hobby.

I think it's simpler. The group that backs SJW ideals is rather small in the general population. Very loud, but rather tiny. There's a somewhat larger group which will go along and amplify their shit-throwing, but that group wouldn't actually buy SJW games either.
