It sounds though, like you're upset with certain "social" complaints that some people have had with games lately, i.e. being upset about women being over sexualised in games, or what not.
If you mean with "social" anti-social complaints like hating and bullying white males [0] and the like, then yes! I oppose everything that resembles stuff like that all day every day and do not consider anyone who does not condemn this a true gamer. Because what they do is no longer about games, they just use game media as a vessel to spread their poison into the fun-loving gamer community.
Great! Imagine if there were laws to make sure those people had to disclose when, why and how they were making money associated with games!
No, I don't want to solve everything with laws. I don't want to be babysat by the state. The community should just shun the the dishonest people, foster a positive culture of honesty and build proper review facilities. We don't need the state for that. In fact, I'd argue we need anything but the state for this.
It sounds more like a bunch of people are saying things you don't agree with, and so you've decided they aren't "true gamers" so you can brush off what they're saying without having to really think about it.
Oh, yeah, totally, how did you know? I have many tiny little boxes with labels in my brain, and every time someone says something I don't like, I put them into one and lock it firmly shut so I never have to think about it again. I have no shred of intellectual integrity inside me and thrive on ignorance. Me making a distinction between true gamers and those who have hijacked some of its media for hateful messages is a manifestation of my hate for reality.
