"why are there so many trans speedrunners" this has been settled for years

"we aren't allowed to talk about this" who is censoring you bro

They talk about it like it's some kind of ancient mystery. Is it any surprise that the people who are more socially ostracized in real life are going to have a proportionally larger presence online? No. There must be a conspiracy to silence them.

They're all throwing a temper tantrum in the comments lol

seriously 😭

It makes sense, a lot of people who suffer from dysphoria probably enjoy escapist hobbies that require a lot of concentration to take their mind off things

Like holy fuck man it can’t be this deep why can’t trans people like speed running ;-;

"petersonian sense" is a phrase that makes me recoil like I accidentally found a spider under a slice of pizza

Yeah yeah trans people, uh woke mind virus, uh the liberal agenda, uh speed running or some shit anyhow Jhett mention

This thread is a free block list holy

You guys are intentionally missing the point... the oddity is not that trans women play video games/speedrun, the oddity is that virtually no cisgender women speed runners exist yet trans ones do. It's almost as if there's an overlap that indicates something definite.

If I were a trans person and I wanted to enter into any kind of traditional sport or physical contest I’d be guaranteed absurd amounts of harassment and interrogation just for showing up. Speed running is like the one thing I can think out that doesn’t have this gender paranoia

Sonic's flabbergasted repetition of "Petersonian" always cracks me up

the original post was "fastest mario," you can't sonic-wash the truth

The funny thing is that you actually COULD have that conversation along with many about the social dynamics that cause certain groups to gravitate towards stuff, but someone always ruins it by being a bigot.

It’s all because Celeste was made

Most accounts in that thread are blue checks, pure unfiltered engagement bait circlejerk

Speedrunning is one of the most inclusive and progressive communities in gaming but chud gamers can't figure this out because they never engage with community

petersonian????

The most autistic gamers are also the most trans. What a puzzle. Wow.

are there even that many trans speedrunners or is this just another area where we're hypervisible for no reason again

this video assumes speedruns just "go fast" and dont "do it right" when you have to do both, if you dont "do it right" and only "go fast" (like shadow is saying in this video) you would fail most tricks and lose speed

every time hatred of trans people is brought up the hatred of autistic people is too

leave it to speedrunners and glitch hunters to find a way to end gender dysphoria in the fastest and most effective way possible

“Petersonian” this causes me intense agony everytime I watch it, causing me to purge it from my memory, inevitably meaning I watch it again, like a rat in some kind of giant eletrified maze

"Fastest hedgehog"

Lmao petersonian means Jordan Peterson right?

Its autism.

If I had to take a real guess (also goes for indie dev & other niche gaming communities), its probably bc most trans women were raised in traditionally boyish ways, which exposed them to interests that cis girls were less likely to have been socialized into.

are you trans because you're a speedrunner, or you're a speedrunner because you're trans?

watching this video in a college class was one of the funniest things i’ve ever been apart of

Oh cool so this is why I’m obsessed with saying <in a “Petersonian” or “Clavicularian” sense> thanks for clearing that up

They stink like utter shit too

Petersonian?

Imma be real, the OP def bringing up a reality of the speedrun community atm, but I wasnt prepared for the Jehtt response. That was actually perfect
