'Gamer' communities, and really it's more a federation of communities than one single community, are pretty distributed and hard to hit all at once. They're also probably the single most tech-savvy demographic/target market, which ironically means they tend to be less vulnerable to direct social media pressure, and have something utterly anathema to the modern left.
Harsh meritocracy.
Whatever type of game you play, you need to actually learn to be competent at it in order to enjoy playing it for extended periods. Not everyone is going to be a competitive Starcraft, FPS, or Dark Souls player, but you need to at least be decent in order to enjoy Civilization, Mario, or Fortnight.
Further, there is respect for the more elite players. Elite players who are actually fun to play with, and will offer helpful tips on how to improve, those are generally the community leaders. As much because they know how to socialize well as because of their gaming skills, but they have to have both together to get to that 'soft leadership' position.
This means that many of the more respected gamers are in a position to resist SJW invasion by default. Now, it's not an overwhelming position of strength or such; it is a soft leadership position, but it does mean something.
Further, the gaming market is so saturated with high-quality games, both old and new, that you can very easily have things happen, like with Battlefield V (I think it was 5), where the developers pander to the woke crowd, then one of the company mouthpieces said 'If you're not into our cramming feminism into WWII period games, don't buy our product.'
...Then Battlefield V sold so badly that it, a AAA title, went on sale two weeks after it was out. And not a token '10%, get us some advertising' sale, it was on sale for like 40% off. And it still wasn't selling well.
Finally, as demonstrated by things like Minecraft and UnderTale, a small dedicated creative team can still roll out something that's competitive with AAA titles, meaning the market is still very dynamic. This means that seizing ideological control of a couple of corporatized companies (like Marvel and DC), cannot give you a lock on the industry standards. Sure, conglomerates have absorbed a lot of the major studios, but even if ideological hegemony was achieved in all of them, a team of one to ten dedicated hobbyists can make a game that earns them tens of millions, and if they put out a successful sequel, be capable of producing AAA titles five years after their first release.
Gamer culture certainly isn't immune to the woke crowd, but there are a number of things that make it very resistant.
The marketing for BFV is what made it like that, the actual stories were pretty good, and the only female you played as was a resistance member.
The multiplayer people did not care you could be female from what I understand

Some apologized only to get flak, the rest are either afraid or contemptuous or unaware atm
And rather confused and weirded out
SJWs are mainly a white dude culture that’s infected some minorities in those countries
I know koreans give no fucks about it, and I think most japenese people don't care.

It helps that these are dudes they don’t interact with much
I guess complaints would mostly increase the moment many games in Japan itself get censored due to SONY Commiefornia
SJWs are only as much of a problem as people let em be, they’re foreign to Japan and it doesn’t help that they’re also unpleasant, so Japan’s gonna mostly ignore them

Japanese Companies looking to release games on Sony's platform have been forced to care ever since the latter moved their PlayStation headquarters to California. For many Japanese fans of games like the Senran Kagura franchise, which had to be censored extensively to meet new guidelines, that was their first exposure to the western phenomena that are the SJWs; and from what I could gather, they do not like them one bit.

Even authors like the man who made Negima dislikes them as I recall
He’s afraid that they’re going to seep in deeper to Japan
I hope he and other Japanese know that WOKE Culture is actually disliked where it’s from, though they may feel confused as to how it has such a strong foothold or why it seems they’re super contemptuos of their target-demographics to the point of wanting them out as customers
Japan may not fully respect its Otaku, but they know where their money comes from and knows why stuff like shounen, seinen, shoujo etc are differing demographics

You're referring to Ken Akamatsu, and I'm not surprised he's aware; the man has always been paying very close attention to anything that might threaten his industry. To the detriment of his work, sadly; but that's probably a discussion for another thread.
All of these replies about how no one likes or cares about the woke shit worry me. We said the same things at one point too, look where we are now. This stuff is like cancer, even a few weirdos on a college campus is to much. Anyone who knows someone in the industry should inform them of the consequences of not doing something now before it's to late. They need to aggressively gate keep and ban,deplatform,etc any one advocating this shit before it happens to them.

Just so you know, part of the problem here is that the censorship's blamed SOLELY ON CONSERVATIVES, people are either unaware or put their heads in the sand when it comes to what the Far Left's influence does and results

More what they do than what they think. Censorship is a meaningful enough of an issue for the manga industry to get their government interested.

Several volumes of the 'No Game No Life' light novels are now ILLEGAL to sell or even import in Australia, thanks to Omega Karen Connie Bonaros. Expect the ban on manga and anime to escalate in the coming months, as manga is growing in popularity and being blamed for all of society's ills... despite there being ZERO evidence to support that.
No Game No Life Light Novel Volumes Banned from Australia by Government Classification Board
