I don't know why but the term "created a culture of dick jokes" grated on me something fierce. How miserable do redditors have to be to whine and bitch about something that kids in elementary school do?

I don't think they're being ironic here.

Speaking of TomatoAnus, his response was...well...fucking fantastic:

"He didn't address 50% of the issues" without saying a peep about what the 50% was, from digging around in the replies, allegedly he's claimed this "50%" was laid out to Karl in private, but he insisted on letting us in public know there is 50% we don't know that is mega bad still.
In unrelated news, TomatoAnus is definitely not assmad he took some bait, looking like an idiot and a snake in the process.

Really, Tomato did this? Geez. He always seemed one of the most based runners still allowed on GDQ (albeit he has to change his name for it). That's a real pity.

For some reason, the name rings a bell and I feel like I may have watched him run something at GDQ, but I can't fucking find anything besides him running Fallout (I've never been interested in the series, let alone spedruns). Did he run something else, or does his name just stick out because it's obviously verboten in tranny gdq?

TomatoAnus's videos on Youtube are mostly explaining the runs of Bethesda game speedruns in collaboration with high-level runners. Good explanations of tricks like Load Warping while also being fairly entertaining along the way. Considering his affinity for immature jokes such as his name, Tomato is a complete hypocrite for trying to ostracize Karl over similar immature jokes.

Karl's response was actually pretty great though. Favorite part is straight up admitting that the "pickup artist" video of him is cringe so he put the link in the description for everyone to enjoy. Him telling these people to go fuck themselves in no uncertain terms at the end is so satisfying. It is the only legitimate response to these people.

Speedrunners are always about going fast as soon as they hear something, defamatory statements included.
But why do we expect rationality from a group of turbo autists that play the same game over and over in hopes for something different?

TIL we have a speedrunning thread.

The video is deleted now, so you'll have to take my word for it (but I am a true and honest fan and what person would dare lie on the Internet), but YouTube speedrun channel EZScape once had this long VOD of a stream where he talked about the whole Apollo Legend incident, like, a week to a month after he committed suicide. While he did (and still does, I imagine) express remorse over Apollo and how that all turned out, he mentioned that toward the tail end of the Apollo Legend drama, he was trying to avoid negative content and promote more positive news in the speedrunning community. He said that Apollo's infamous video about the Top 10 Speedrunners Caught Cheating was so successful that Apollo basically pivoted most of his content to fishing for drama to make similar videos, even when said drama really didn't exist. He also said that Apollo's negative content and the fervor behind it sorta spread through the speedrunning community and a lot more people were basically aping on any sorta drama that tended to happen, even if there really wasn't any. Part of me feels that a bunch of the recent witch hunts against both actual cheaters and false positives were most likely spurred from the community basically eating drama up.

And I mean, I really don't blame them. Why else are we on the Farms if not to devour drama and laugh at people? If it works it works, and unfortunately it is very easy to get people riled up.

I really doubt EZscapes representation of that situation. Ignoring what he did to Apollo to make me question everything he says, I just don't see the need to fabricate drama. The speed running Community naturally produces drama like the furry community so creator really needs to lie to find a good story.

Speedrunning is pure autism and attracts extremist politics and personalities. There's nothing to lie about.

Being a white nationalist and wanting white rights is somehow wrong?
On Karl, he seems fine. People take stuff he said outta context like they always do and telling them to go fug themselves is the correct move here.

Twitchbot made me lol, wouldn't be surprised if he did get it certified though, considering the community he's in.

I first learned about Karl from his retro games market scam video which was a good video.

Shortly after, I found out about his autistic speedrunner past and his Nintendo 64 Goldeneye cringe.

So he finally gets a world record after a million tries on livestream. He bursts into tears and his Asian girlfriend enters the room and comforts him by rubbing his head as if he was a child or a puppy.

What the fuck up wit that? What's their relationship like? Is she a replacement mother? Is she a mail order bride? Does she suck other men's dicks when he's busy speedrunning and is only with him for the money?
