Not enough furry vtubers.

>50+% runners and staff are trannies
>mandatory pronoun and other political shit
>people being consistently banned for personal beliefs, jokes, any reason the venue feels like since 2016
>event is no longer about speedrunning and is now a "heckin' wholesome cancer storytime reddit thread"
>event is no longer ran by speedrunners and is instead ran by corpo bullshit who want a "large family friendly venue"
All good and interesting speedrunners left or were banned. Couch commentary is dogshit now. This event peaked in 2013-2015 era and has been downhill since they started banning people for the dumbest shit imaginable. The event went from a more underground scene of friends running and joking with eachother for charity, to reddit incarnate with blue sky tier restrictions on speech.

Troon fatigue

You know how GDQ donation readers and the people on the couch never shut up? Imagine that but twice as bad as usual this time around. Most of the runs that were decent are hard to watch because the talking just doesn't stop. They'll sit there and endlessly praise the music or whatever is happening on screen so much you can't even hear what they're praising, you just hear them talking about how cool it all is.
I've always said that people like Chibi are what killed GDQ. People needing to constantly fill the space because they aren't satisfied with just watching the game being played. Constant talking as if it's a let's play.
Oh and TRANS ROITES HOYPE literally every 2 minutes.

>>715532082 (OP)
they banned any potential for fun

>>715532791
>You know how GDQ donation readers
I once watched some GDQ run and the donation reader/announcer was passive aggressively demanding donations from viewers

funny that chibi's tism was tame compared to a lot of the shit that happens now, at least he only did something dumb like 8 times during the run, now every 1-2 minutes someone screams or does something autistic

trannies aren't a problem, american trannies are
ESA and the Australian thing going on right now have trannies and they're not obnoxious walking ''I'M TRANS BTW'' signs. And they're better looking too, like the type you'd maybe fuck in secret after a gaming session.

>>715532082 (OP)
Unironically too many troons. I just don't care anymore.

Someone post ratings pic. Maybe theres a good run in there

>>715533742
trans btw

>>715533742
t. ranny

>>715532082 (OP)
I would really prefer it if you'd stop making threads

>>715533742
don't care. even if a tranny shuts up, I still have to look at them.
I want them gone, for good. No uncle toms, no "one of the good ones", I want every single tranny gone.

>>715532082 (OP)
any recent funny moments?

What happened to all the cringe compilations? My favourite part of GDQ was waiting for the cringe compilations to get uploaded to youtube, and now it seems like people don't do that anymore, and even old ones seem to have scrubbed. Do trannies really have that much influence???

>>715534137
Legends say GDQ demands Google to remove cringe compilations from Youtube

this shit.
It's no longer dudes with a passion for some random-ass PS1 game.

It's they/hes, she/hers, its.

IT??

>>715534373
so, men?

>>715532082 (OP)
leftoids suck the soul out of everything they touch by creating a sanitized corporate hellscape, that's how you go from saying nigger for charity to banning people for micro aggressions

Do people care about speedrun events anymore? It feels like they haven't been important in years.

The only event I look at that has some attraction around it is RTA In Japan.

>>715534521
I feel like nonbinary only exists as a label for men that want to transition into women but they know they will never pass so they compensate by calling themselves a "they".

We're already too old for it. It had to happen one day

>>715534521
I'm so sick of seeing this thing online

>>715534920
Are they famous? I hadn't heard of them outside of the gdq run.

>>715534801
Interesting theory.

>trannies always run some obscure game no one has heard of so they don't actually have to train for it
>their runs get the least amount of views and poorest reception
>they still try to force it every year

>>715534749
Still huge, but it became kind of a niche again. Just way fucking bigger.

I guess challenge runs took over. Like
>Hot Swedish Girl Beats Double Malenia Boss on Dance Mat :-O

>>715535038
Mental illness is what it is. I'm not 100% sure they even select the game to go autismal over themselves. Unless it's like Sonic or Undertale.

>>715535038
Examples? Most of the recent runs are big games.

>>715535038
>trannies always run some obscure game no one has heard of
example one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gph3wEgqeB0
I played it as a kid so you could guess I was sad to see much childhood game being played by someone that sounds like shmorky.

>>715535476
>much childhood game
my childhood game*
>>715535476
see above

>>715534521
I consider myself nonbinary because I don't believe in this gender identity shit. It's all just a social construct and an ideology so detached from reality. But physically I call myself male because I'm a fucking man.

>>715535597
>because I don't believe in this gender identity shit
just because you don't want to take on what society considers as "male responsibilities" doesn't mean people won't impose them upon you. You throwing a tantrum like a baby doesn't make a difference.

>>715532082 (OP)
It's a transbian exclusive event now.

>>715532791
I dont mind them talking a lot if it's about the run itself. the ESA emerald beyond run was fun because it was just 2 autists explaining esoteric game mechanics for 2 hours straight.

Why would you watch it live when you can just wait for some aspie to make a compilation of all the seat sniffing retards

>>715532082 (OP)
>>715532225
Beginning of the end.
I got banned in one of this years threads for posting a pic the new pretty host.
They will never hit 4 million for charity again.
Also why does that charity need doctors in hat land, aren't most of them doctors?

>viewership going down
>still hitting $2+ million donations
Are they funded by Blackrock now or something?

>>715535597
Make any excuse you want but you're still mindbroken by their retarded ideologies to the point you have to acknowledge that you're "physically a man"
Stop caring about social constructs and act like a fucking man, go live your life you pussy

>>715538745
They are contracted to Twitch.
You would think for charity multi streaming and restreaming would be ok.
Give the trolls their own space and bring in more donations for charity?
It wouldn't suprise me if there was some racket with the free Amazon Prime subs.

Sometimes I get a bit uncomfortable with how often they try to inject humor into everything they say. Not uncomfortable in the way a 4chan incel gets uncomfortable seeing somebody being happy and entertaining, but rather that I'm very interested in the technical side of how the speedrun works and would rather they spoke more about that sometimes. As the years go on I've not been able to watch runs as consistently.

>>715538601
doctors without borders is a human trafficking kike organization, they have ships to transport illegals from Libya to Europe
of course the trannies wholeheartedly support this

>>715538745
They donate to themselves to break goals but it's getting too pricey to keep seeing records

>>715539094
Yeah, every time they interview someone they only talk about child/teen female victims of earthquakes and shit.

>>715534801
Actually most people that use "they" are women who want to be "unique".

Look up why gender is considered different from sex.

>>715532082 (OP)
It is a mystery.

>>715532082 (OP)
It only had one actual speedrun. And it was a race. It was good, great even, but still.

>>715540419
10 in a row

>>715532082 (OP)
It used to stand for games done quick.
Now it's games done queer.
It's not fun to watch that train constantly explode on the way to it's own fuckin wreck.

>>715540751
now watch as they mysteriously vanish or hand wave it away

>>715532225
Tooooo many troons~

>>715532225
and none of them are hot. if they had hot troons with massive cocks, i would watch all day and donate

Have we ever REALLY determined who was in the wrong here? like ACTUALLY determined as such?

>>715540419
I'm surprised they aren't being negrated and banned my the moderators. This can't be posts from a speedrunning subreddit, let alone the gdq one

>>715532225
isn't that practically asking for cringe drama and shit?
i thought GDQs were all about that?

>>715534034
isn't the girl on the right his gf?
she doesn't really look comfortable.
her face screams "get me out of here"

What are the must watch runs?

Which runs are cringe? Which has troons in it so I can avoid?

>>715540987
>>715540994
Okay, but just stating something with bravado doesn't mean much in the face of TRUTH

>>715541338
Always Super Metroid. Troons keep themselves thankfully away from it most of the time.

>>715541470
you've never done public speaking, then. 90% of the workload is charisma, 10% is the statement itself

>>715540419
>all these qualifying statements about "oh I'm all for trans rights"
Stop being such a s o i b o i faggot and just say what you want, jesus christ reddit

>>715532082 (OP)
I don't know what you guys are clinging onto. It hasn't been any good in a decade.

>>715534550
Ehh nerds in general just have zero integrity so this is a natural progress
Magic the gathering was never inherently leftist or political
But all it took was one tranny to demand shit in like 2017 and the whole brand flipped completely
Obviously wizards of the coast has the Semitic representation in upper management as well

>>715532082 (OP)
Zero hype for gdq every year after 2020

>>715532082 (OP)
Due to their gatekeeping mentality everyone that had slight interest in the whole speedrunning thing just didn't give a shit when they started to cater to LGBTQ+ leftists like every other online platform/game event shitter.
> Muh 48% of gamers self-identify as gamers its a serious topic.
About as serious as them killing themselves for greater good through the rope and noose lmao.

>>715541240
No. She's their accommodation organizer

>>715540419
You could feel the butthurt in the room during the FF9 run when the bid war for Quina's name ended up being Maite instead of TrnsRhts

>>715541643
Yes, I understand, but here, we're TRYING to get to the core and fundamental truth of the matter concerning WHO was REALLY and TRULY in the wrong here.

>>715541746
those people are not ffully against it yet. they have more conditioning to break. but regardless, you will get perma banned on reddit for anything remotely anti trans. its a tranny website.

>>715532225
I checked reddit to see what they thought of GDQ and the top comment was complaining too much "trans rights". Even fucking redditors think it's too much. That's crazy. For a redditor to say "Big proponent of trans rights but" is tantamount to swearing allegiance to Hitler, they risk getting shadowbanned on sight for such audacity. The mental illness really went too far this time.

>>715542418
chibi
>why?
because we don't need commentary in speedrunning except for explaining tech and exploits to the audience.

The finale was Deltarune instead of Super Metroid.

>>715540852
Nobody. it was just a miscommunication. Both sides are socially retarded. If this were two normal functioning adults it'd have been settled in a few seconds and nobody would've noticed. But then again, neither of them would be sitting on a GDQ couch in that case.

>>715542548
I love how they all covering their ass and start with the "I'm all for trans rights, but..." line. That last one makes a great point actually. It's hard to tell the event is actually there to raise money for MSF

>>715533742
A pile of shit in America is still a pile of shit when flown to Australia

There isn't some process of edification that happens to anything when moved from one place to another if the underlying structure is the same

>>715532082 (OP)
>What happened?

>>715538745
Still pretty shitty of them with all that money not to just do their dumb incentive at the end after acquiring 125k+ towards a 200k goal. Especially since they couldn't shut the fuck up about it over the last 30% of the run. And then just fucking off immediately after.

>>715542804
>Letting the retarded audience and announcer with zero control in charge of that run
It would have been ruined and it would have been no where near as grand.

>>715532082 (OP)
co(o)mmercialized, >>715532225

Why is the white adjacent man wearing the faggot Nip clothes while the Nips in the back aren't?

>>715544247
The three people behind him, not the closest one, are very obviously also white tourists.

>>715540419
Another "fun" thing during GDQ is
>OOOOORRRBBB XD

>>715542548
>Long time watcher, first time donator
Always followed by a large donation. Every time.

>>715541909
This IS the truest thing ever said on this topic. Nerds have 0 integrity because they have 0 backbone. It doesn't help that because they're used to being ostracized or bullied in some way, that they then accept people who are just as weird as them. Now you have she/her/it walking around smelling like a trash bag that barely passes as a human let alone a woman.

>No fun allowed
>Excessively political
>Announcers literally screaming over the commentary at times
>Had so little runs they wasted an entire day(in hours combined) for just random unfunny variety shows
>Quality of prizes reduced dramatically
>Literally held the stream hostage to make some incentive
>Quality of runs was piss poor
Its not even a shell of its former self, its just a desiccated corpse lying in the sun.

>>715532082 (OP)
>What happened?
People that made entertaining streams like Bonesaw got banned because of safe jokes. The faggots that run gdq are afraid of backlash from every and anything. People just having a good time is seen as a monetary risk so they end up driving those people out or pacifying the fuck out of them to the point where the streams consist of miserable autists flatly commentating over their own gameplay. I'm surprised it's actually still going on at this point.

>>715549597
>Literally held the stream hostage to make some incentive
Qrd?

nice try tranniekun

TRANS ROIGHTS

All the tranny and cringe aside, a lot of the runs are straight up boring as fuck. Not every game is interesting when speedrunned. This GDQ especially had a shit load of races, which often have the key details of the run completely obfuscated by the small screens and commentary focused on the players over the game. Only the Super Metroid run comes to mind as the one that was actually fun to watch. But the root cause overall of the event being trash is that it's run by a bunch of corpo data crunchers who make decisions based on what makes the most money. I guarantee most of their cash cows are trannie autistis, and so they milk the fuck out of them.

>>715550871
you've never seen them delay a run just so they could make it over a donation goal?

death to chibi

>>715551978
Nope, I don't watch the main streams

Just the VODs

I lost count how many times I heard TRANS RIGHTS

Because it turned into TDQ.

>>715532082 (OP)
When will they speedrun Ikaruga or Cho Aniki?

>>715540419
Inb4 they say it’s the chuds who kept spamming trans rights

>>715532082 (OP)
selection of games was pretty shit, too few SNES/PSX/PS2 runs and too much modern tranny slop. whole thing is too leftist and woke with forced pronouns and no fun allowed policy echoing how much these far left scumbags hate free speech and common sense. I was expecting things might change with dems losing but they still hold a tight grip on all cultural outputs.
