4chan and the larger gamergate movement took the racism that was still bubbling under the surface of america and sucked it up with a big novelty drink straw back into the forefront of polite society where now it's socially acceptable to say you hate black people, oh I'm sorry "woke", can't say outright you hate black people jusssssssst yet ;)
They don't hate minorities yet mysteriously they just happen to brand every game that has prominent not-white, not-straight characters as "woke DEI Sweet Baby Inc Cultural Bolshevism Marxism."
In three years there will be a thread on kotakuinaction that claims that both the 4kidz Americanization edits AND the last Airbender movie being whitewashed were both good, actually.
4chan somehow marketed being a suburban soccer mom as something cool.
I don't think we can call those results conclusive since the discourse is more about gamers pre-emptively shitting their pants about GTA possibly going woke

Unless they're hot Japanese, Korean or Chinese women
Edit: they could probably also accept a "hot latina" if she was sufficiently non-political
IDK, we have already seen preliminary discourse about new GTA and signs aren't looking good

That's a good point, we'll have to wait for more results.
