its important to establish boundaries in even the most inclusive communities and to get rid of people who are taking advantage of the community

I don't know if its a close overlap for speedrunning but for anyone not in the know almost the entire top 20 Smash Bros rankings got wiped out as many of them got outed as predators and I think the big gamer tournment Evo was outright cancelled a year or two ago for too many top level people also getting outed for similar. The whole 'queer spaces' thing is hilarious bullshit because in all of these cases its just people who revel in having power and control over someone 'weaker' or disadvantaged against them in some way their sexual preferences aren't remotely a factor.

People up thread said it better, but yea Its frustrating sometimes to see just the very presence of queer people being used as a shield to defend some of the worst or sus personalities/ communities out there.

Maybe its too obvious to point out... but theres something inherent to speedrunning where it predominantly attracts the type of person who lets face it, lack, ignore, or like to clip out of set boundaries (:razz:) What u thinks gonna happen when u hand a socially inept nerd celebrity status among other types of vulnerable people. Its y it keeps happening

I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

Now I'm trying to remember which run it was from a couple of GDQs ago that was so bad that they took down the VOD. It was some mediocre action or RTS game being commentated by like four guys who were obviously all Discord besties, and one of them (possibly the runner?) sounded like he was broadcasting from a tin can, and in the middle of the run someone told a long convoluted story about his pet vomiting on-camera during a stream?

What I'm trying to say here is, GDQ programmers, please schedule more feral guys who have four subscribers and no concept of screen presence, not people who are pretending to be toddlers on the Internet

Being an ally is treating LGBTQ people like people, not letting people hide behind a label to be a creep.

It's also bad to conflate all criticism as being from a point of bigotry. Yeah we all know that there's pepe honklers on 4chan and twitter who hate AGDQ because it has openly gay or trans runners but through the magical power of context, you can actually look at what people are making fun of or criticizing and separate the reactionary weirdos from normal people in these discussions.

fwiw i didnt interpret this specific instance of describing AGDQ as a "queer space" (which lmfao fwiw) as accusing folks of bigotry for finding it Sus, but rather just describing it as a comfortable space for queer people (for some reason?? even tho dudes sniff women's seat cushions between sets?????)

i guess this doesn't actually make that poster sound better now that i've written this out. hm

I mean gdq being a queer event isn’t really a secret or anything, but it’s not A Queer Event, it’s just a gamer space that is very openly welcoming of LGBTQ people.

Which is cool, but don’t use the phrase “queer enclave” to describe it lol. It’s a video games event and there happen to be a lot of fuckin creeps there but also LGBTQ people.

Usually you just use the "queer enclave" exploit to beat Fallout faster so it's technically a speedrun event

I genuinely do kinda side-eye people who describe themselves as an 'ally' unprompted. Obviously if we're talking about queer poo poo and you say 'oh yea I'm cool with all that poo poo who cares' that's whatever but just randomly declaring yourself 'on my side' in the sense that I guess you'd rather me not be beaten in the street for holding hands with my husband is about as much a red flag as being super into 'traditional gender roles' is, both are great cover that requires little effort to actually back up for some real shitbag people.

Now I'm picturing Blue Story carefully boxing up snakes and handing them to her husband saying she's surprised him with even more of those interchangeable star wars toys he won't stop buying.

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.

Yeah, she did the wrongest possible things in basically every situation, then admitted to doing those things, explained why she was doing those things in great detail, and refused to reevaluate her or her juvenile husband's behavior EVERY time. The fact that she held onto the CC debt without ever explaining why is what finally convinced me that she was probably a troll, but the thread was just too entertaining to stop reading.
