He's ranting on Elon Musk's X.com right now about how GDQ is the perfect example of "go woke, go broke" and that they should unban RwhiteGoose.

    Sorry to ruin the fun but he's an actual Nazi.

      Oh wow, I think I got through 20 pictures before my phone loaded some useless ass imgur image and wouldn't let me go back. Yeah that's fucking horrible, I'm unsubscribing right now. I love speedrun videos and always enjoyed his quite a bit, but wow that's not even in the plausible deniability range. I didn't expect there to be hundreds of screenshots of him being the worst person alive, goddamn

          Karl Jobst essentially started making the exact same kind of video to rwhitegoose for a couple years, so that's a good one to check out. I like the stuff he makes now too but he literally did a bunch of "history of a specific GoldenEye level world records" videos too.

            I knew I was forgetting one! I scrolled through my subscribed list and didn't see him (must've scrolled over). Karl Jobst is solid as well, seconded.

              Karl isn't the best either. He was on the discord server with RWhiteGoose and was a "white people should be able to say the n-word" guy. He does seem to have rehabbed a bit though.

                I remember some people were mad at Karl for stealing the speed running video shtick and not sticking his neck out for his buddy. I don't know anything about Karl personally tho, I just love the speed run cheating investigation videos. They are always really interesting intestigation stories and also the technical stuff isn't too beyond my comprehension (like I also like to watch displaced gamers and retro game mechanics explained, but some of the videos I don't actually understand because I don't really know how code works lol)

                  Yeah, I still watch Karl because the technical aspects of how speedrunning cheaters get caught is fascinating to me. Just mentioning that he isn't entirely unproblematic. I can't think of any speed/challenge run creators where I know anything about them outside of their content and it's a good thing lol.

        I don't know where to find it but he did record a little clip after all that came out where he said he's not racist anymore and he learned not to be racist because he had normal interactions with non-white people at the local Tim Horton's lol

        Like a 35 year old dude concerned about the "Jewish question" on his discord for years would somehow have his worldview shaken only a month after it came out, and the instigating factor would be a brown guy holding the door open for him at a Toronto Timmy's lol

        I still watch his videos sometimes because nobody is making that kind of content about less popular n64 games, but I watch them in a way that YouTube doesn't recognize for algorithm or revenue purposes
