I mostly agree, but the kicker here is this: As long as your opinions aren’t actively harming people, they’ll always be welcome in gamer culture.
A lot of these self-styled cultural critics have a tendency to tag any opinion they find disagreeable as "harmful" or "problematic", and rather than address the point, they seek to make them beyond the pale. And just as a lot of the Gamergaters conflate bias with corruption, the author and his ideological allies seem to conflate caustic verbal disagreement with actual harassment.
But generally, yes, it would be better if gamers who are sick of being lectured to about the evils of privilege by a bunch of, well, hilariously privileged people would express their disgust by taking their eyeballs and page clicks elsewhere instead of trying to eradicate the ineradicable. That would seem to be a market based solution to this problem.
