There was a retarded boycott going around where people refused to stream on Twitch for this reason. Looks like GDQ didn't get the memo. Are they going to be cancelled for being le heckin problematic supporting wizard game advertisements now?
Just kidding, GDQ can do no wrong in the eyes of trannies.

It's not GDQ - GDQ actually went complete retard and said that JKR was such a vile TERF that they would not run any Harry Potter games.

Twitch runs it's own ads on all channels and fed a Hogwarts Legacy ad into GDQ, meaning that if GDQ wants to fully commit to the boycott - they're going to have to move off of twitch and host their own videos, which will never happen.

I agree with you, the boycott was because Twitch was running ads for HL. Channels like GDQ have nothing to do with it and only trannies think that way and demand people stop streaming because of insane troon logic. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

It was - I was making the point that to those insane trannies, what GDQ is doing is actually not enough. If GDQ wants to be good allies, they need to

a) Let Amazon know what ads they can run on their channel
b) Host their own video/subscription service and not take ad dollars from any "problematic" studios.

Don't stop now GDQ, really show those TERFs you mean business by putting your money where your mouth is.
 
Im just amazed GDQ is still around. Last I recall everyone was getting banned in GDQ's self inflicted suicide act by the corporate suits that just showed up one day. They had been on the level of nu-bungie's blatant tax writeoff ""charity"" grift for some time.

Come back years later and its all showoffs and troons. This must be what time travel feels like.
You might be wondering how well the Youtube Vods are doing.

You can clearly tell how the difference in viewership between the shit they want to push and the ones people actually want to see.
 
The All "Woman" speed run event is on right now, Frost Fatales 2023. No idea why they just don't brand it as a all trans speed run event at this point, because that is what it really is
the only thing of note is Brianna Wu is running Super Mario Advance on Friday the 3rd

I got bored and did a quick count of all videos tagged "Frost Fatales" from GDQ:


The final total:

36 obviously trans.
30 natal women.
2-3 that I either missed or couldn't clock immediately

Hooray for women.

EDIT:

IT WAS HALF. IT WAS EXACTLY HALF. I'M DYING.

They obviously did it on purpose lmao.

69 runs (lol)
33 natal women
33 trans

I double counted when I went through it the first time.

Finally caught up to this thread.

I don't know how many spergs and speedcows you guys have talked about, but Summoning Salt is pretty cool.
Just wanted to shill Summoning Salt's YT Channel too.


The guy narrates these events as historic achievements that should be taught at schools.
The scripts and pacing of his videos are quite compelling, and far, far more entertaining
than one at first glance -considering the subject matter- might think they should.
The somehow barely-professional nature of the audio/videos only adds to the immersion of the experience.

There is an undeniable, almost primeval autistic allure in speedrunning a game,
and some of the hand-picked behind-the-scenes' stories are themselves a fantastic spergery study.

It's the sort of content that some people that collected magazines, posters or soundtracks
would have loved to see on TV on their younger years, when beating Contra or Punch Out was their only worry.

You know, something Ying to balance a bit the disgusting Yang
of your average AGP in every single fucking thing some of us held dear at some point on our lives.


"Speedrunning is as valid as x hobby" comes down to the same root as the "videogames are art" argument: Shame.
If a game or a concept within it expands or elevates the possibilities of the medium,
it can be viewed and understood as art by an audience.
Just to name a few in no particular order:
Super Metroid - Metal Gear Solid - Silent Hill 2 - Shadow of the Colossus - Bioshock - Spec-Ops: The Line.

Of course Call of Duty isn't art, but Crysis certainly is.

Games that have a strong artistic repertoire capable of
inspiring others to become professional artists can also be included.

Comparing this to speedrunning is disingenuous at best.-

Some of these were interesting early on, but he's simultaneously running out of the "top games" that people watch as well as making all the videos way too goddamn long.

It's also amazing how much speedrunning has been tanking lately. Troons and advertising dollars sure can suck the life out of just about anything.
