I think its the exact opposite imo, it seems alot of devs are liberal or at least seems that way because they are the most vocal ones, get covered by liberal "gaming" news sites like kotaku and polygon.
Gamers themselves however don't really share those views, at least the vast majority of them, they dont want politics shoved down their throats especially when they just want to play an enjoy games, they don't give af about the diversity of the game, how many characters are minorities, if the devs are people of color, ect.
A good example of this was when the dev of Firewatch attacked pewdiepie, sent copyright claims against all his videos which were there a year already, his game was promptly review bombed on steam.

BF5 flop, the sjw devs just woudnt stop, they made a main character a female with one arm, a series which used to pride its self on historical accuracy decided to provide an alternative version of history, of course the far left gaming journalism sites all loved this and covered it to no end about diversity, but preorders and actual sales told a different story, it seems the people who would actually buy and play the game took the devs words to heart:
"
Accept It or Don’t Buy the Game" -EA
They even decided to try and troll people with quotes at their launch event
Doom Enteral seemed to be going in the opposite direction and attacking sjw's

Just keep politics out of games, it doesnt belong, your main audience doesnt want it, it's just grandstanding and virtue signaling.
