Ehh... no. I don't see that as being the reasoning. Maybe if bigger fish from the conservative side had been actively trying to shit on gamers, but it was merely a handful of mildly popular commentators who were pulling it.
I could definitely see that as being a potential long-term strategy that conservatives might aim for, but as of yet I don't see a strong indication that they've made any serious investment or moves into this regard.
As for the left/Feds/DHS, they absolutely are targeting gamers, both because of Gamersgate and I think also because intelligence agencies see gaming as a fantastic opportunity for psychological, sociological, and behavioral analysis. Gamers also make for a convenient "boogieman", along with anything else they can bunch into the "evil far right" that no one else will stand up for or defend.
There's also of course the money side of things too.
I think occum's razor on this, the Thots are just rats fleeing a sinking ship and they're hoping that they can lean back on traditional 'be at home' housewives to avoid the coming collapse.
The attack on gamers from the right, well the conservative traditionalists, is simple too: they've never fully understood the culture. This is another time I can't tell if it's self sabotage on purpose as they're establishment shills or just to tunnel visioned that they throw away an opportunity to gain ground. It's why I like Trump, he approaches things like a business man and made more progress internationally doing so.
Dude, the words "trad" and "Matt Walsh" don't go in the same sentence unless you put "laughs at" in the middle.
No one who works for, or has worked for that little toad Shapiro can be described as "traditionalist.". Period. He and his are grifters, Vox Day dubbed them Cuckservatives. It doesn't really matter what you call them, they're fake right.
That's why tradcuck is the perfect term for them. They claim to be trad, but they're thinly disguised feminists playing controlled opposition. I don't always agree with actual trads but I don't question their honesty.
It's doomed to fail and drag us down. The right bashing nerds is a big reason why the left got so powerful in the first place. The trans surge in autistic men mainly comes from them not being able to match the ideal of traditional male models that conservatives expect. You can blame it on propaganda but truth is, they wouldn't latch on to it if they didn't rage quit trad life first.
Tradcucks are male breeders. They think the only value to life is to beget more life like a virus. Thus, things like video games which is something a person does outside of breeding and often does in lieu of breeding is "degenerate". Tradcucks are the ultimate goy slaves.
No, you're reducing what's going on to terms you like but it's too simple.
They are in fact simps that don't recognize they're simps and they think they're anti-feminists when they are in fact feminist. They're right-wing not because they are pretending or that they are doing it on purpose as a plot to push their feminist believe. They genuinely think they have right-wing beliefs and that they are fighting against "evil" while not being a simp or a feminist while they're actually fighting against good while being both a simp and a feminist.
In short, they're just another brand of useful idiots for the system pigs. They hate guys like antifa and yet they're just the other side of the same coin.
Oh that stereotype is absolutely real, just that it's mostly "m'lady" male feminists and troons.

If they're allowed on TV odds are they're fake right. The actual thinkers of the right have been effectively banished from discourse.

Walsh and his ilk are leftists. The fact that they're playing controlled opposition doesn't change that.

You're overthinking it. They're just simps who know that pretending to be right wing is a more effective way to push their feminist beliefs.
