My experience in becoming a gamer is to graduate from Parker Brothers family tabletop games to Steve Jackson wargames to Dungeons and Dragons which was declared Satanic by the moral guardians.

So yep.

Behind the Bastards recent two-parter on The Masculinity Crisis pointed out that the Gamergate controversy really was about gamers who found their only man space was gaming getting upset as the market opened up to women and other non-dude-bros. (I was quietly playing Gone Home at the time not understanding what the big deal was.) Then Steve Bannon whipped them into a voting bloc and got Trump elected (with a popular minority but the EC) and now we're all sorry.
