Dramacow ProtoMagicalGirl / Jaret Ross / Alexis Ross / @PrincessProto / littledrummergirl / littledrummerboy - Tranny Any% All Oppression Points

So I'm a bit behind and lost on the GDQ drama. What is Proto even mad about?
She thinks that GDQ is anti-trans by being politically neutral despite all other evidence that trans runners get tons of exposure. In reality she was shit at speed games and nobody liked her on screen so she cut ties probably realising she'd be replaced anyway.

Her pissy response to them changing their mind and banning Goose (which she wanted) is a product of that bitterness.
 
MysticMisty brings up a good point. The only cisgender girl speedrunng I know of is pidge, who runs Mario RPG. There are more transgender women speedrunng so than not, and afaik no transgender guy speedrunng so... Odd.

I don't think it's that odd.

Since speedrunning is a pretty autistic hobby, it's naturally going to attract troons. Also, the more narcissistic ones want the attention that comes with being a "gamer girl" (too bad it doesn't work as well for greasy slobs who can't pass lol).
 
What even is autism? A social disorder? Doesn't everyone have that to a degree?

Impression I get is some random psychiatrist made this up just so they can group every remotely eccentric person into one group for the sake of convenience.

Which is why people online use it as a joke insult. Well, I figure.
 
Until and if it's reclassified by science, trained professionals say that a spectrum exists. People on the less severe end can overcome it in a variety of ways and it barely needs to figure in their life beyond the diagnosis.

Given the similarities in behaviour between people on the severe end of the spectrum, it seems like a reasonable classification at the moment.
 
Looks like GDQ caved again (surprise). AGDQ has its own panel now solely dedicated to "queer gaming".
