Admittedly, I don't pay attention to many of these niche communities so yeah the whole phenomenon is probably older than I thought. GDQ made it obvious because it seemed like every major speedrunner transitioned after Cosmo and the drama going on there was making it into drama channels and mainstream gaming press.

Though the final nail in the coffin wasn't GDQ, but that infamous hbomberguy stream because after Grant Kirkhope said "trans rights" in his DK voice, it inspired a bunch of other video game VAs to do the same as well as fan artists making "trans rights" art for every video game character in existence.

>To someone who is attention seeking, negative attention is also good attention

It's really no different than celebrities coming out as gay or bisexual when they were losing relevance years ago. Though, at least with that you can admit to it just being a phase and reverse, unlike transitioning where results can be permanent.

@PurpCat @koimoa Lately, I've been having a gripe with game collecting in general (not just the scalpers) because they will literally buy everything in their favorite video game franchise, thus supporting all of the bad practices. They just have to buy every game in their favorite series even if they know it's shit.

@PurpCat I feel like the speedrunning community was the one that really brought transgenderism to the entire gaming community thus causing gamedevs to pander to them.

Literally, I learned most of the transgender terminology from GDQ.

Which is the most cancerous group in the gaming community/industry?

Created a sand tileset. That appears in-between the snow tileset and purple tileset.

You'd expect that most FOSS drama would be about projects getting bought out by not-so-good companies, the PM adding malicious features and not backing down on it, or choosing to use a bad dependency, but no. It's always about pronouns, "casual ableist language", or the project accepting crypto donations.

Get rid of the fluoride and maybe it will be.

@djsumdog @Alex @rat @ai @hidden @arcana @allison @cell I can never see anyone measuring the depths of a swimming pool using metric.

@ai @Alex @rat @hidden @djsumdog @arcana @allison @cell A yard is actually slightly longer than a meter.
