seriouspost: when considering submissions for gdq do the admins check the runner's online history to make sure they aren't a nazi, incel, white supremacist, etc?

because if they aren't they really should be.

incels are a hate group so imo they should not be allowed to attend, same as how members of the kkk shouldn't be allowed to attend nice things.

I know this is probably a joke about speedrunners spending all their time on their games and thus not getting any, but for real "incels" are an actual group of insanely hateful people who have chosen to, instead of bettering themselves to become good people and thus fun to be around, they have instead taken the world spurning them as everyone else's fault, especially women. ESPECIALLY women. For example!

They are some of the brokebrainiest of the brokebrains. I agree GDQ should curate its runners at least a little bit, and I'm sure they do nowadays, what with culling most of the really awful ones so much that those idiots made their own knockoff full of chuds and stuff.

The fact you have "probably" in this sentence implies a lack of 100% certainty, which mostly stands as a testament to how much the past few years have broken you and many others.

Also, I don't actually think a 24/7 week long livestream of an empty hotel room would raise a lot of money for charity. (The twitch chat would be about the same, though.)

I've never said it doesn't matter, I'm saying the way this thread goes about it is dumb and unhelpful. I have personally done more to weed this kind of crap out of my scenes than literally any of your random finger waggling accomplishes.

Well, they let Caleb in after his stint of viewers making trasphobic twitch alt names and subbing with them so they would get on screen and him giggling at them, then saying thats not ok, but also excusing it with "I can't control my viewers".

The only people I've banned recently from chats I mod were caleb subs trying to start poo poo. Seeing his emotes are a good pointer for someone you need to keep an eye on.

i'm not a speedrunner and dont have any influence in the community so i can't do anything but given that people didnt know about rwhitegoose and gravitron and cyghfer and caleb last time this came up, spreading awareness in this thread is good imo. if theres anything i can do to help tho, seriously let me know

there used to be an always on channel called TASattack that would just play anything that had a YouTube video version of the submission and chat could pick from 3 options for what was next

Downside was it had a skip option that was easy to trigger late night. Was watching seiken densetsu 3 and someone came in and within 10 seconds of seeing Japanese text on screen voted to skip, "I only speak English so I can't follow along." Despite it being a version that had a combination of story translation and run notes as closed captioning.

It died off pretty quickly iirc.

i mean with whitegoose it's like a well-documented part of his personality, the guy's a poo poo for brains. Caleb acts like a bell-end but his supposed "alt-right"-ness is not something I found particularly convincing, there's a slight difference between bell-endedness and nazism, I'd like to think? although I could be completely loving wrong and he said some awful poo poo idk I don't actually keep tabs on the guy

my problem lies in the fact this thread sometimes does the stream monster thing where it singles out randos for reasons that are asinine and it never accomplishes a whole lot besides being disruptive as everyone falls over themselves to no useful end.

i mean yes I am pretty touchy about the fact the guy repeatedly insists that I possess viewpoints that I categorically do not because I have disagreements over the method, there's some pretty astounding assumptions about my values going on there and it's loving annoying.

My first GDQ I went just to go and now SGDQ will be my 3rd time its lots of fun hanging out with folks I've talked online with for years all in one place. Go to GDQ to chill with speedfriends. Most of the event happens outside of the stream room.

Its me, I'm the casual non-speedrunner hogging a hotel room and reg spot. Maybe his time I'll finally say hello to Studio.
