Those GDQ dumbfucks do remember that one of their main announcers for the last few events has been protomagicalgirl, right? Probably not a good idea to invite the dudes checking for adam's apples on the :females:

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.

Don't read too much into the post, he just choose the option from the alt-right dialogue wheel

GDQ needs to just pre-emptively ban all incels/alt-right/hateful ideology people. There's no excuse for allowing them into spaces that are intended to be open for all people.

I'm sure they wouldn't let in KKK members because their mere presence there indicates a tacit endorsement of their views because their view is that only people like them should exist.

They need to be hyper vigilant because gamer culture in general is trash and if GDQ really wants to be an inclusive space they have to go above and beyond in taking out the trash.

edit: To clarify, one of the reasons I love GDQ/speedrunning is because its the antithesis of most toxic gamer culture. GDQ has to proactively maintain that because the nazis are actively trying to destroy it like they destroy everything they touch.

In addition to everything you just said, the guys that run GDQ really need to understand that when they put on these events they not only have to put the best foot forward for themselves, but for the charities they are raising money for. Both Doctors Without Borders and Prevent Cancer can't be associated with a bunch of incels that joke about checking for adams apples on girls or talk openly about "the Jewish question" during a run. At best it will force the two charities to sever their relationship to GDQ (and keep in mind -- Prevent Cancer at least does a lot of behind the scenes work for the event) and at worst cause them to not accept any money raised. So you HAVE to take a no tolerance policy on this kind of poo poo, or else it will really lead to trouble down the road. Not to mention that any nazis at the event making things much less safe for everyone involved.

Basically GDQ needs a PR guy, and they need one fast.

I'm glad they're acknowledging this.

I'm still looking forward to AGDQ '19; I'm not going to stop supporting them immediately because I feel like that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But the next year is going to be very important for GDQ and I sincerely hope they improve as a result of this.

Yeah, basically this for me too. Its going to be difficult as well because GDQ has been on the alt-right shitlist for awhile now and this will be their best opportunity to gently caress with them

this is most insufferable virtue signaling circlejerk I've ever witnessed.

have you heard of speedrunning? where you play video games? i like gdq but I don't think most spectators(hundreds of thousands?) are part of the community or give a poo poo about someone's opinions about muslims

Do you check for adams apples on girls too

Edit: Be nice to this guy, he's just going for the "Banned for being a nazi shithead" WR

honestly, I came here for posts about speedrunning, and I get a very politically charged thread. Clearly people who do not agree with you are not welcome. I know not agreeing with you makes you a Nazi(a defunct political party, which no one is a part of, but you can feel good that your 'fighting' Nazis). I guess it would be too much to ask you to tone it down, or make a separate thread. (GDQ drama thread, GDQ community thread).

Where are the PBs. Resets. i mean seriously. look at what you've become

As was discussed up above, GDQ is not just about going fast but having fun while doing it. Kind of like how we can take time out of our day doing what we do while also dunking the gently caress out of you

Ocarina of Time 100% (Dampe Heart Piece) is a biggie.

The Majora's Mask 100% Dampe Heart Piece is similarly a pain, given the streams I've watched

Probably one of the big ones that leaps out to me is getting enough super missiles / power bombs in Super Metroid since it can kill an otherwise on-pace run if you have to spend time farming them from metroids before Mother Brain

Tooie is better because it is the point where Rare said "gently caress it!" and created a fully labeled warp menu after iterating on BK's awful matching color pots and DK64's still not great matching number pads.

DK64 is probably the best speedgame because the glitching bullshit is incredible. Using grenades to cause slowdown but move faster since the game compensates :allears:

Shoutout to the run a year or so ago where they got the whole crowd to go aahhhhhhhh baaannnaannnaaaa for every banana

Also I feel like I'm the only one who loves Tooie :( Collectathons are my weakness.

they have 40 hours of backups

I kinda figured FF8 was going to be the marathon closer, but now I'm hoping for LttP Rando: Crowd Control because that will be nuts with the last-second donation pushes.

Hopefully they remove the insta-kill donation or else everybody is going to be sitting there for a long while :laugh:

Super Metroid any% race. I guess it's clear I'm just all about the SNES runs, but also the races in general are usually fun.

Glad they are bringing it back, it was the staple close for GDQ for years before the pandemic.
