I still argue they are the same as gaming side. Loyalty to the corporation trumps any kind of ideological framework generally.
They seriously believe things like Democrats would get in trouble with their base if they were to lie openly, like say, Sony. Obama is always working some kind of ninth-dimensional chess, just like Nintendo and their ninjas are.
That's why the fits continue between the Bernie camp and the rest. Right or wrong, Bernie and his camp has taken positions that are ideologically perpendicular to The Party and so the argument always descends not into discrediting those ideas because there is a small sympathy there or that's not even something they care enough about to discuss but instead arguing why adopting those would not be in the best interests of ensuring the corporation wins. And all the "you have to stop being so pure now so we can get to that later."
Same kind of notion as you need to not "undermine" the PS4 Pro now for its failings or else Microsoft will benefit in the long run. Even if they'll concede it should be able to do this or that. Though generally they'll defend it no matter what. 15fps is acceptable.
I think GAF just attracts these types because of their predominance in video gaming for whatever reason still.
