Don't know if they're minority or not but those who cause "blowback" is really loudest few.
I remember in my lurking days, there was an irritating poster in a thread which asks for more sexier males in games, catering to women/gay men. That poster was a good example of loudest few.
The guy was like;
"I 'm an ally as a straight guy but that's impossible." "I wouldn't say no but all the guys would create an uproar" "Why not? But men buy games and marketing decides." "It can happen but it's financial suicide". "They should but they need to prepare for boycott" over and over again.
He was the loudest one and killed the thread basically by spamming and shutting down the discussion again and again in two three pages long thread.
Edit:See below for typical "It's ok but NO!" type of post.
