the squid posters are 100% creeps but "agdq (the event) is full of pedos" is also the punchline to over half* the speed runner creep posts and it's not funny and undermines a charity. Also speedrunning/GDQ is a queer enclave and while creeps can come from anywhere, grooming accusations are really dangerous too.

*I pulled this number out of my rear end. Maybe it's all died down and I'm just fixating on a period of Bad Posting.

Bringing up unprompted how X or Y is actually Queer to imply that it's the actual reason it's being made fun of or called bad or w/e is so lame..Changes the whole disagreement into a moral one

i hate the trend on this forum/the internet in general where the one weird trick to avoid all criticism or negativity forever is to put a trans flag in the background of your stream or w.e. and now you're an Ally and incapable of doing anything wrong lol.

Remember, if someone declares something a queer enclave, you aren't allowed to criticize it.

Nope! I have to assume it was an unfunny-but-still-troubling joke, considering everything. She also never justified not getting therapy or not paying off her credit card debt when she clearly had plenty of money to do so.

The "funny" thing is that she DID justify continuing to eat cold cuts while pregnant despite being repeatedly told about the listeria risk -- spoiler alert for those who haven't read the thread yet: she personally felt as though the risk was overblown. :v:

Makes sense, I guess. I know a lot of people said she was making everything up, but I think most of it was real or mostly-real but played up by her for the negative attention. I never made it through the whole thread, but that was the vibe I got with how she stonewalled most of the feedback she got or phrased things in the most grating way possible.

it's also being a bad ally if that's truly your intention and you aren't just trying to use it as a rhetorical shield like everyone else on this forum lol. being queer/a queer ally doesn't give you any moral authority or anything. it doesn't mean anything to anyone. if it did it would be weird and more importantly would no longer be a normal thing to be. it's the gay version of becoming so woke that you reinvent segregation so you never have to trouble the people of color with your hideous white skin again

Idk that's just what I saw in that thread outside the one funny post that got linked! When I clicked thru I was expecting more funny screenshots and not just people being rude. The bill murray chaser was good though.

Edit: maybe I just don't find flaming funny honestly. It's like what's the point of wasting your work break or whatever being a dick head online?

flaming is funny.

my favorite gdq guy was the swarthy one who repeatedly hosed up some shmup while he had a body pillow in his lap the whole time and provided zero commentary, when he finished he stood up and screamed a bukowski poem before leaving

I mean if it distracts them from going after the actual children in the room watching someone play video games then isn't that a net positive?
