No, the reason is autism.
When Kiketaku says "queer", they mean speedrunning is absolutely overwhelmed by troons. Troons are narcissistic autists. Autists hate doing new things, they'd rather do the same thing over and over again, which speedrunning is.
I came here to dispense absolute truth only to find that someone else has done it for me.
It would also explain why 40-50% of them speedrun life. Easy to save a bunch of frames with a noose.
Edit: I was so eager to make this joke that I didn't see it had already been done. Whoops.
I used to be a rather big fan of speedrunning, have been following GDQ for like 8 years. My interest drops considerably about 3 or 4 years ago, when trans started to really get into it, and the whole thing just went full "pride" (very funny, considering politics aren't allowed by their own rules, but this is the only exception tolerated, and actually praised). However people just take it all, because they are desperate for any "women" taking interest into speedrunning too, so even if that's a trans, everyone will just reward them to make sure they stick around.
Out of the 5 female Tetris players that I know, 4 of them are trans. I'd say about 90% of all female speedrunners are trans in general, maybe even more. And of course, they take the place of a normally much better player, but you know, that much better player is a boring straight white man, so he's not in the spot.
As usual, something that used to be a really nice and cozy niche, and one of the best community I've ever seen, went complete garbage.
I’m shocked at how accurate this is. I know some people that speedrun and they’re all autistic narcissist types. They’re not Troons or anything but they do prefer to do the same things over again rather than new things.
Lol, you beat me to the punch. But yes, 💯% it's the autism.
It's because 41% of them don't have the time. They're speedrunning life as is...
Hahahaha
I truly love this community
I've never understood the allure of speedrunning, so maybe he's on to something because I've also never understood the allure of left wing policy.
That's a big reason why I like TAS, but find real time speedruns insufferable. In general the TASer will know exactly how and why the bug works, and can explain it. A real time speed runner generally doesn't know anything but how to do it and what it should look like if it works.
The resulting video is a concisely edited efficient package, and the supplemental videos are often in depth explorations of program behavior.
For a real time runner, the resulting record may be enjoyable, but in many cases the rest of the footage can best be described as watching a NEET fail to do something in a video game, while living a degenerate lifestyle spending hours being an antisocial recluse and eating shitty unhealthy food while spending hours and hours in front of a screen and slowly turn into either a thin pasty white vampiric creature or a butterball.
I think there may be a problem in a decade or so when social and economic shifts along with aging and health force these people out into the sunlight after they can't sponge any more off their parents and they don't have the conditioning to function well enough to get a real job.
If ever there was a class of people that would happily be made into pod people. Speedrunners are it.
And then you have something like Myst, where, once you play through without getting a bad ending, you find that you can finish the game, legitimately, within a couple of minutes of starting a new game. :P
its appeals to autists who can do the same thing over and over again, and its a way to feel "accomplished" without taking any risks
only the ones who can end up able to beat the records announce themselves, very proclaim in advance how they are going to go for records beforehand
As someone with ass burgers i would never speedrun the process sounds incredibly boring doing the same shit over and over but i like watching it unless a tranny or some woke retard is playing
is the rape of videogames.
and some are into that.
As someone who casually speedruns a couple Metroidvanias, the allure is in mastery. For me at least, it's the mastery and intimate knowledge of a game I love. Imo, there's no point to speedrunning unless it's a game you love and are going to replay anyways as it requires the ability to essentially play through the game in your sleep.
If you play a racing game the game doesn't really have an upper bound in terms of skill or performance: you can always drive a faster lap. For many other games that isn't necessarily the case. For example my favorite game is Hitman: Blood Money, and once you beat all the levels with Silent Assassin rating on Professional difficulty you have maxed out the game as far as it is concerned. If you have already done that many times, doing so again ceases to be a challenge or source of accomplishment.
Speedrunning is one way (but not the only one by any means) to make a bounded game an unbounded one.
These fuckers hijack the word eccentric too.. says queer and eccentric or synonoms lol.
They both mean weird or odd.
I mean not to defend them too much, but you pretty much have to play a game right and know it back-to-front in order to speed run it well. That’s why I always get a little annoyed at the idea that speed runners aren’t enjoying a game or whatever.
As for why there’s so many homos/trannies involved I would probably say it’s a combination of autism/Nintendo as well as the fact that a lot of the big organizations sponsoring speed run events got co-opted early.
A lot of troons and autistic people are drawn to Nintendo properties for some reason, I think a combination of nostalgia combined with their arrested development as well as Nintendo’s general popularity creates this connection.
I think it also fits with the fact that Nintendo games are always among the most popular to speedrun.
The reason it's because they're autistic, and being autistic they're likely to fall into the troon camp and get radicalized into queer/leftist ideology.
Normal people don't get into speedrunning.
t. Am unironically an autist
:( Sadly true. Autists are easy targets for troons and games offer them escapism from their mistakes.
faggots out of my hobby
What he said was a copypasta. Not a wrong one at that, just don't go throwing him credit for it.
I me me mine.
