At least the general assumption seems to be that it’s cis het caucasian dudes. If nothing else, a homo trans dude might sound the exact same as the cishet caucasian population and seem to be cishet.
If gamer communities had more people who sounded foreign or female, there would be less extremism.
Gamers are privileged (game systems are expensive and PCs are expensiverer) on top of the white/masc element, but game addiction also incentivizes one to not touch grass. Without dialectical experiences of the real world, it is easy to fall into self-serving idealism.
