One of the biggest problems with games media right now is their resistance in talking about this sort of thing. From Pewdiepie to Boogie, there's some celebrated youtuber every week doing something to encourage and empower bigots.
Every games podcast under the sun went crazy talking about the "controversy" with Spider-Man PS4 fans harassing Insomniac for the old movie suit, mostly because it was an easy and vague thing to call out. They are talking to the unknowable toxic gamer that, in their defense, saturates the audience of this hobby.
But maybe that wouldn't be the case if the games media actually listened to the people being hurt by these voices. When the Game Awards is going on, is it just too risky to write or talk about the people invited to be there that REALLY should not have been? When one of these hateful voices speaks up, is it too much to ask that other personalities are open and honest in their condemnations?
Pewdiepie recently recommended that channel full of anti-semitic videos. It was a whole thing, remember? And when anti-semitic violence (in the US) is more popular than ever, forgive me if I am looking for other leaders in this field to actually stand up and say something about it.
But few will.
And it's like Elie Wiesel said, "We must take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
People don't want to "get polticial" because they have been taught it's a touchy subject, but really, it feels like they're just not willing to stand up for others in pain.
I also think the intended and biggest audience is a huge part of the issue.
The VAST majority of these guys are viewed by young, young kids. That's not only 1. fucking bad 2. like can you really teach a little kid why that kind of stuff is wrong? like you can, but not a lot of 6 year olds are watching going "well i will not stand for racism". They just think whatever their hero is doing is the best. by the time they can actually understand why it might be wrong, its probably too late.
Sure parents can do their best to monitor who their kids interact with but i highly doubt they hear PEWWDIIEPIEE and expect racism, and its gotta be nigh impossible for a parent to track how their kid interacts with that community.
