The fundamental misunderstanding here (other than being a shit person) is the belief that GDQ is a speedrunning marathon.
It isn't.
GDQ is a charity marathon. It exists to raise money for charity. It does that through speedrunning and high-level gaming.
Charity first. That's the priority.

the major responses to this (aside from people responding "fuck off") being AusSpeedruns is disappointing, I thought ASM had a better audience than that

That was such a lovely run!!
SGDQ currently has a black woman speedrunning Wolfenstein II with two black LGBTQ commentators as a chat of 45K people yells about stomping fascism and I just think that's neat. sometimes gaming is good

Appreciate @shout.rocks shouting out JoCo just now in the segment. As fun as this Pictionary section has been, I’d’ve been fine listening to more stories from the early days of Steam…because I too was alive when the Earth was created.

I genuinely believe that the salute was a pulse check to see what they’ll be able to get away with, and the media seems to be letting them know it’s everything.
Don’t let your craven non-confrontational nature allow you to ignore the obvious (hand) signs.
