I gotta imagine there is little to no sincerity in saying that. People are just thirsty for some content.
This reminds me how Spoony made a not good to the point of being shit vlog about The Last Jedi, but it was first video in years, so even his subreddit, that usually full of people, who criticize him, was all like "oh, Spoony is back", "first step" and shit like that. Surprise-surprise, now he is in even bigger shithole, that he was before. Why stop on him though? Andy Warski - was on steady decline, but then accepted challenge from Tonka and looked like a champ, when he didn't show up, but what's after that? Forever cemented himself as a bitch with his STAY THE FUCK BACK stream. Ethan Ralph - got martyred after being wiped by Jews from YouTube and was part of Tonka's downfall, but what next? Complete shitshow. Wings of Redemption - got his surgery and some of his trolls left him alone, but did it help? Nope, he is still begging for the money every day and getting fatter. Bryan Dunn - had an opportunity not to get back here after countless bans, but decided to and it's getting worse every time. The point is cows can't get better, to get better you need to stop being a cow first, otherwise even divine intervention would be temporary solution for you.
Well the troon community needs something to brag about. They're not exactly ending wars or creating alternatives to oil.
That's the purpose of the any% category: get from the start of the game to the end as quickly as possible by any means necessary, even if the end result isn't as entertaining to watch. The runs that are more interesting to watch are 100% runs IMO because it requires that you obtain every item from its original source in the game, so you get to see the game played somewhat normally (with some glitches that allow for things like cutscene skips and faster movement), rather than fucking around in kokiri forest for a few minutes and suddenly you're at the end credits.
So instead of being ugly ghoul with a dick, who is pretending to be a girl, he is going to become just ugly ghoul with a dick, which was basically him before Numbers? Hm, maybe people who assume it's going to help him are not wrong after all. Fire with fire.
The point of a glitch any% speedrun is to get to the end as fast as possible via any means. A classic example before the arbitrary code execution era is the Pokemon Red/Green speedrun where you abuse a door glitch to get to the ending.
It's probably only gonna make him worse when some autist beats his record. I don't expect it to last a few months, let alone the year, even if he's improving on his times rapidly right now. Every WR run is something for the next person attempting to pick apart. In reality he won't melty just from that and will go back to eating and crying on social streams.
Yeah, I'm not big into speedrunning so maybe I just don't get it, but it feels like this is pushing the boundaries of what a speedrun is. Even exploiting a glitch to warp to the last encounter seems more valid to me. This isn't even that, it's exploiting a glitch to play a cinematic at the incorrect time.
I'll agree that 100% runs are more entertaining, but disagree on the reasoning, at least for zelda games. 100% runs are nowhere near normal gameplay, they glitch shit out almost as much as any%, all sliding around the map and hovering up walls and shit, glitching in fake items and doing nothing in order, but they do it consistently for hours, and that's what makes it interesting.
