Some gamers did. Not all, but some. Sargon is very cringe at many times, but despite being a political rabble-rouser he's done more on resisting the LitWhos' and others' attempts to censor gaming wholesale far more than most.
A certain wikileaks celebrity stood up in a tangential sense, in that he affirmed that all the gamers' concerns were true, valid, and very real, but that they were too narrow in their scope. He never backtracked that statement.
Strictly speaking, I think The Fine Young Capitalists/TFYC did. They're the ones responsible for the spawning of Vivian James, and they knew the disreputable nature of the ones they were dealing with, but still used the character and included her. But we're scraping bottom of the barrel if "fulfilled their contract to the letter" is anywhere near standing up for gamers.
