The TTRPG writers community was (as far as I can tell) the first to fall to the woke mind virus.
It was shortly before the Fantasy / SF publishing industry.
I used to post on RPG.net as my major forum. It would have been 2006 or 2008 or something.
RPG publications are a niche of a niche market. The industry is very incestuous. Industry leaders were already going that way before the takeover; specifically White Wolf, which had a lot of women writers and appealed very strongly to women.
People very much get hired by relationships and reputation. At some point it reached critical mass.
