Does that have a source


I think its hard to really get a grasp on Gamergate political leanings because it's a movement of loosely affiliated and mostly anonymous individuals and no real barrier to entry. So, yeah, you can expect to find conservative or alt-right posters and some centrist or moderately left leaning posters too.

For what its worth, here are some articles written by a journalist who was looking into Gamergate and surveying it's supporters:

And here's a little article I found about the earliest days of Gamergate, if that's your kinda thing:
