How the fuck did we lose gamers?

Honestly this is something I have been wondering for a while now. How is it that around 10-15 years ago we had the numerous amount of hosts on Fox news saying how violent video games are bad. They always talked about how violent video games cause violence. All of this coupled with arguments on "desensitized" violence into people (1,2,3). In fact even in 2018 we had this narrative being pushed by the likes of Tucker Carlson (4). But fast-forward to today many channels like Asmongold has turned full on right wing and "anti DEI". On top of that these channels get millions of views. Like how is it we went from right wingers being the people that hated video games to now having gamers being right wingers themselves. Back then if you told me that gamers aligned with conservative views I would have thought you were crazy because of all the demonization from right wing media. Its just insane.
