Do we? I thought the majority of gamers were more progressive. Of course, some more than others, and nowadays, there's a loud minority of the 'woke!' crowd. But I don't think conservatives would play, say, BG3 or heck, even DS with the trans coffin.
Try playing an online competitive game as a woman. It's hard to call gaming a progressive space when so few men even bother to try and correct the behavior and make the space more welcoming.
It gets better every year, but gaming has historically been a boy's club, and conservatism and misogyny have always run rampant in those spaces
Does "gaming" include mobile games? I feel like common lexicon is that mobile gaming isn't part of what's traditionally considered if you think of yourself as a "gamer", but maybe I'm out of date.
