True, though to different degrees, but in this case, they're basically saying these people are bad people. "Gamer" has about the cachet of "Men's Rights Activist" as a pastime. If I tell someone I really like board gaming as a hobby, they're not inclined to assume I'm a sexist racist alt-right supporter. Loser, sure.
