No. Two entire generations of young men have grown up playing video games as their principal entertainment medium. For more than a decade, those same young men have grown more and more frustrated and alienated as their go-to form of escapism has been increasingly infested by leftists who want to use it as yet another stick go beat them with, to bully, harangue and demoralize them, and call them manbabies and racists when they speak out against that trend.
And so they turn away from the cultural left to more right-wing spaces in order to find like-minded people. These are the young people who might be more open to conservative ideas. But for every one of them who finds Nerdrotic, or Geeks + Gamers or even Sargon, there are another two or three whose first interaction with a rightist space is Matt Walsh calling video games demonic and his producer calling them manbabies for disagreeing with him.
QBG quit Crowder's show for the exact reason that he was constantly looked down on and treated like the kid in the room for caring about pop culture franchises and wanting to discuss the free reign that the left has enjoyed in those spaces, and in the social consciousness of the mostly young people who consume that material.
This attitude is the reason the right has lost the culture war, and two whole generations of potential allies.
