I don't know if gaming itself is a natural bastion of resistance. Look at gacha games and you see vast numbers of people performing thousands of repetitive actions in the hopes of getting shinier trophies. That sounds like the opposite of creative thinking. Also, throwing boxes around during a cutscene is meaningless. To the extent it shows anything, it demonstrates the ability to ignore any values as long as your motor cortex is stimulated. Not quite the same thing as resisting The Message. Why do people still play Far Cry?

To the extent that gamers tend to oppose political correctness, it's because they're younger (less conditioned) and the value of a game is more obvious and less abstract than other mediums ("if it's not fun, why play?"). But who really supports progs en masse? Lightyear horribly failed.
