Part 3/9:

The gaming community, particularly in tabletop spaces, has witnessed a notable shift towards political alignment and ideological conformity over the years. Most major players in the industry seem to predominantly express left-leaning views. Notably, some individuals associated with prominent companies, like Wizards of the Coast, have publicly mocked the original creators of Dungeons & Dragons, reflecting a wider disdain for certain demographics within the gaming community.

The incident with Buman and Vance is emblematic of this divisive trend. Many gamers now feel that these companies are, at best, apathetic to their political beliefs, and at worst, openly hostile. Critics argue that gaming should unite people rather than serve as a platform for political exclusion.
