Can you imagine her reaction if she gets rejected? :story:
Because only transphobes would ever reject such a wonderful person!

I don't think anyone is going to object to her being there as an attendee, but I wouldn't blame someone for having reservations about letting her get involved with the event simply because she's an American, with nothing to do in regards to her history of behavior at GDQ at all. This is a European event intended to showcase and celebrate the best speedrunners in Europe because for many of them visiting the USA to attend Games Done Quick is extremely cost-prohibitive. This is their show. Protomagicalgirl showing up and expecting to be on the show's staff would be incredibly rude of her.

But of course if anyone involved with ESA has any qualms about PMG or her cronies showing up it doesn't matter what their reasoning or excuses are, they are just going to be drawn and quartered on social media and called transphobic or whatever.

Twitch vods contain replays of the chat if anyone's really curious. Agreed that it didn't look like anything worth preserving but the sheer volume was sort of amusing.

I was not aware that Twitch VODs now also preserve the chat, that's really cool.

It's actually pretty easy to programmaticly grab the chat from the vod.
Do we have a "tech thread" for things like this?

Rumor has it according to ESA's stream chat that PMG is attempting to hook onto this event in the summer as a commentator/host and not as an actual runner.

No actual contribution to the event, and honestly IMO looks like a means of fill a void/power grab.

NASA has also commented on the bold part previously as an issue with GDQ. In that GDQ is not really for or about the Speedrunner/runners anymore. That most people there are now commentators or hosts have never even done it that much or only in a token sense.

NASA is also probably going to be the only speedrunning event that holds its ground and tells everyone else to fuck off, as bad as that sounds. I disagree with some of the antics and stuff that happens on NASA's stream, but it's refreshing to have a speedrun marathon that has a very laid back atmosphere where people can breathe and if they accidentally say "fuck" when they mess up they don't get banned for life and have people smear their reputation online.

I still find the irony of people getting in trouble for saying "fuck" while speed running shit like South Park or Doom.

Also, le choke meme from the ESA stream.

Rejecting him would give him an opportunity to whine about how transphobic ESA is and claim victimhood all week on twitter. He'd probably love that more than actually attending.

He probably registered because he heard about the people at ESA making fun of him. There's no way he didn't hear about that or see it himself, the only reason he's not distancing himself from the event because muh transphobia is that it'll have a bigger payoff if/when they reject him.
