There are 100% capital G-Gamers in basically every fandom.
Hell, xqc is the biggest streamer on the planet and outright got kicked out of overwatch for being a bigoted piece of shit, is building an army of incels because of how much he hates his ex-wife, and outright used knowledge of sexual assault as a threat to prevent people from speaking out against his gamblign streams. And before him we had ninja and pewdiepie who had sexism and racism on lock. And on a MUCH lower tier you have people like destiny and hasan who can't stop using racial slurs "for the right reasons".
Hell, I LIKE Toast but I definitely get the vibes that he is one misunderstanding away from deciding it is no longer a joke and he has to go full "Fucking cancel culture" as a response. Which is basically how so much of "thedonald" and 4chan were populated. Everyone was joking. Ha ha ha, they aren't really anti-semitic but isn't it funny to talk about how all the Jews should be executed? Oh, they aren't racist, they are just spamming monkey emotes every time a black person is on screen. ha ha ha. This is also probably the basis of musk's current insanity. He was "just shit posting" until people turned on him and he remembered the good old days of having an emerald mine run by borderline slave labor.
Also... kick and rumble exist. And even a lot of the "good" influencers are doing everything they can to downplay how evil those places are (Ludwig had a really okay take on his Mogul Mail where he "jokingly" pulled up a few clips that even he wouldn't repeat as a way to say "hey, I am not picking this fight, but holy fucking shit").
Gamergate was ten years ago (probably, can't be bothered to verify). We still see the exact same talking points regarding how games media is lying to you and we still see the same attacks on women and other "Other" influencers.
Just because they don't realize they are fighting in an army that was endorsed by Total Biscuit (or even know who Bain was) doesn't mean they aren't still "fighting the good fight". Just like how most alt-right jackasses have no idea they are literally being manipulated by what was documented in klan and neo-nazi "recruitment books" decades ago.
Hell, The Last Of Us 2 having the AUDACITY to... have a muscular woman

go to fucking town on the asshole who murdered her family and her entire community

somehow managed to condense a year or two worth of gamergate doxxing and hate over the span of a few months. And we saw the other side of "don't you dare say I am doing anything wrong" with terf-wizards last year (?).
The hate and bigory is still there. And it is still being manipulated and nurtured by the same groups who have been radicalizing kids for literally decades. Like, I literally watched one of my old clan mates from Unreal Tournament "get really shitty" because he was 'hanging out with the wrong people" on the old BU forums. And I only realized later that one of the most prominent users there was straight up following, almost word for word, the recruitment guidelines in some former neo-nazi cultist's autobiography that I grabbed from the library (maybe after American History X? Been a minute).
It is just that we have more voices out there who will shout them down. And being called a "social justice warrior" is no longer the greatest of all insults. But that doesn't mean you don't still get critical mass of chuds and I could easily see this going the other way if it were a League event. Or, honestly, if it was an FGC event where the more prominent "activist" players weren't in attendance to remind people that trans rights are human rights.
