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.
