The thing is too, the quality of the speedruns have really gone down too since it changed. It used to be semi-seriously taken [but still lighthearted fun] of running through the games as fast as they can... now when you see a GDQ run it is basically people just advertising their twitch stream and hardly caring if they really get a good time just goofing off.
Look, I never expect for someone to get a world record in a GDQ, but when you are going to perform, and this is supposed to be the top of the top for speedrunning, at least act like you are trying to get good score lol
[I will give leeway when they have donation incentives that would harm their time, but other than that...]
Yeah, it was really crazy what happened to speedrunning. It used to be just some dudes, maybe a bit obsessively, playing same games they loved..., and then after gdq got big after a few years.... suddenly 7000 trannies appear and now speed running is half a trans thing now when it wasn't hardly before....
Seriously though, watch those early GDQs... the old ones. They are not as extravagant but they are just a bunch of people in a small room having a blast playing video games. Now they are just hey watch my twitch also I am trans I guess PLEASE GIVE ME ATTENTION.

Purely anectdotal, but I personally knew at least 4 people who fit the tranny-autism mold.
