- a lot of the speedrun and speedrun fan community is still full of the same lovely people that are in game fandoms as a whole and are invested in keeping as many people like them around
I think speedrunning and by and large any other hobby gets treated like an escapism from the worlds troubles, which can be fine, but becomes an issue when that hobby involves other people - because people tend to be the problem with most things.

Are Perfect Dark runners also Nazis, or like, just general Fascists? Is it like a gradiating thing where the farther a game is from Goldeneye the less Nazi the runners are.
it's actually just a stark dropoff

all the Goldeneye runners are hosed up
no other game has nearly as many chuds

Theres an EZscape video on Apollo Legend that goes into that poo poo Goose defense video he did and tears it to pieces. Goose is emphatically a nazi and he posted bad stuff on his discord, apollo should not have associated with or defended Goose. EZscape then transitions into talking about his good friend Karl without batting an eyelid.

Thats not a blind spot for your friend thats just willful ignorance.

No kidding. It's genuinely ironic because he's the ApolloLegend of Karl Jobst.

He's basically a staple of the Mario block, especially kaizo hacks and Mario Maker runs.

You could also get to the end where Feen says he groped her and has propositioned her + others for a threesome.

I don't entirely blame them for overlooking this because that gets thrown it at the end as almost a footnote which I find really bizarre because surely that's the most alarming thing in that whole story.

anyway another mediocre mario man turning out to actually be less than mediocre, colour me fuckin shocked.

he's actually the biggest mario man p. much, at least sponsorship wise (RedBull, his own speedrunning live event tour across the states, etc.). gonna be interesting to see how that one turns out.

I had to re-read the posts again to see that part because 95% of the issues seemed to be adults with poor communication skills about playing video games. Then tacked in at the end is a very quick "he made a pass at me and grabbed my breast one time when drunk." which is just whiplash.

I mean, he's obviously been making comments in Discord chats (the stuff around people being "his wife's type") that make people uncomfortable, so I'm not gonna necessarily jump to believing it didn't happen off the back of this tweet rather than, y'know, her having missed it.

Sexual harassment and sexual assault are two very different things. Accountability for both, but unwanted attention/come-ons are harassment not assault. The tweet addresses the latter. Doesn't make the first okay.

Sure, but I'm definitely gonna lend a bit more credence to the accusations of the latter if there's possible evidence of the former

Wow, yeah, count me as one of the people who missed the groping in among the twelve separate screencaps of mild social dickishness. I think feen is relatively large as far as Mario streamers go, so I’d hope that if corroborating accounts of similar behaviour are out there then this gives them the courage to come forward.

Yeah, I had to reread like four times, since most of the rest just describes a pretty pedestrian account of learning that a big ol' bro is kind of a dick, which I won't deny is a real lovely experience, but isn't, you know, particularly out there (doesn't make any of what she describes gaslighting, but i feel like its days of meaning anything other than 'lying' are behind us). The actual wrongdoing lede here is super buried.
