I used to mix him up with EZScape for some reason. I think it's because they both have extremely dull and emotionless voices.

EZScape seems cool though. Hopefully he's not a shithead.

I just watched an EZScape video, clicked onto another one that looked interesting ("should emulators be banned in speedrunning") and saw special thanks and a link to a rfashwossname. That was from june 2018, and I don't know the timeline on his opinions on the jewish question coming out.

I haven't watched that video yet anyway, the one I watched was the one where he gives some streamer $500 to learn to speedrun titanfall 2 and it was fairly interesting.

Edit: I looked back at that big imgur collection of rwhitegoose being a nazi and it's got stuff from later in 2018, so maybe he was more successful at, as he puts it, hiding his power level when the video was made.

Ezscape has done some stuff for GDQ before. If the video with goose was before late 2018 then I don't think he knew about it Goose bein a nazi.

The funny part is that the first time anyone had anyone ever heard of rwhitegoose was when he was some noname doing couch commentary for some *GDQ may years ago and the thread loving loved him.

Turns out, if you strip out the whole being a nazi incel gamergater, he's a pretty entertaining person. So he's got nobody to blame but himself for being a piece of poo poo.

I’m hanging with him right now. No lie he got hit 8 times in the face, didn’t fight back, and isn’t allowed back. Nothing else I can do but put all his beers on my tab. He spent $4k to be here and encouraged his best friend Chubbus to submit to GDQ and he actually got in. He couldn’t afford to come so Dr Fatbody fundraised for him, and now he can’t even be on his couch.

tried with way harsher search terms and nothing (hell i somehow got a porn result in there because i typed "dr fatbody grope") so uh, hopefully it's someone else?

Holy hell, are there even 9 hours of backup run queued to fill in the void? I didn't think they'd have the balls.

It wasn't because of Luzbel though. One of the runners submitted a video where he didn't actually play and was DQ'd, the others are bowing out in solidarity or something. Somehow they stumbled into the correct result.

AGDQ accepts Final Fantasy VIII and accepts us (Muttski, Tojju and Luzbelheim).
24 hours later they decide to forbid Tojju to run because the video he submitted is not valid
Tojju submitted a video doing couch commentary, but not playing in, a FF8 co-op run from RPG Limit Break. Apparently they did the same thing last time with FF9 and had no issues.

Luz posted:

We explain them what happened and they ignore us for 1 week.
In this period Tojju does a full solo run of FF8 under the estimate given, just to eliminate any doubts regarding Tojju's abilities. Luz contacted whoever at GDQ told them about the disqualification of Tojju via email & Discord and received no response.

Luz posted:

Finally they tell us that Tojju cannot play the game. Muttski and I decide to not run either.

So they booted one of the crew for "not submitting a valid run" but not the chud for being a chud?

I'm guessing this is the easy way out. (i.e. the complaints made them go back and look?)

It makes me wonder about the submission process. Does this mean that they didn't watch the video enough to notice that this person wasn't playing at all? That seems like a weird way to submit anyway.. since if you are running shouldn't you have something somewhere to submit? It seems weird that we're even at this point.

Don't feel sorry for 'em though.

I'd like to assume that was some 4D chess bullshit where they knew they could get rid of the runner by causing a domino effect with a bullshit out, therefore not generating any big waves with the chuds or anything, but
