The moral of the story is that you don't need to go for world record in everything you do, and you can in fact go back for some safety strats, especially when you're on such a prominent stage.

i know basically those exact words have already been said but i am astounded that they just shrugged and went "idk" and within the next hour tons of other people shoved more evidence in their hands they couldn't be bothered to find in the first place

:iiam:

tbh it’s probably officially a run ban and GDQ hopes it’ll be a “we won’t ban them from attending as long as they don’t try to show up” kind of situation

Being visible on stream at all counts as "representing GDQ".


I mean, it ain't like GDQ is legally allowed to bar them from showing up to the hotel.

Glad that GDQ manned up and took care of it. Still concerning that they tried to bury the issue, but as long as the community keeps pressure on them we can force them to change.

yeah there we go it just took like 3 hours extra

Idk, I've seen worse response times. I am completely bewildered by the initial, swift dismissal though. They don't normally tweet about this stuff at all. Why address that one so quickly?

not gonna lie though I was operating under the assumption GDQ/speedrunners at large didn't give a poo poo at all, The Elite is a public forum and that poo poo is just plastered all over that loving place. It's not that hard to find. Better late than never, I suppose.

This is good because it scares the roaches back into the shadows. If they're paranoid of getting found out and barred from events like gdq, then they are less likely to openly spout antisemitic, homophobic, racist remarks so freely. Either they'll self reflect or scuttle into one of the small chud enclaves, either way it's good for the community.

KevinDDR is a friend of mine and from my understanding that is pretty much the only participation in that mess they had was the posted line; they also tweeted directly at gdq about how they handled it

i'm just speculating but considering he called GDQ spineless fucks for not taking action initially, i'm assuming he attempted to corroborate pizzaparty's tweets and got ignored and then GDQ's "differing opinions" tweet happened

I was made party to information about Kevin's involvement and let's just say he's a stand-up dude who went above and beyond behind-the-scenes all the way through this situation at not insignificant risk.
