anyone at GDQ: trans rights!
the entire crowd, every time: WOOOO!!!!! YEAH!!!!
many years ago, games done quick had a problem. there were trans people in the community, and there were a lot of transphobes in the community. for a while there, trans members of the community got treated like shit. not by everyone, of course, but by enough people that it was clearly a culture problem, and it was getting BAD. (and frankly, transphobia was far from the only issue.)
so games done quick had a decision to make: keep things how they were, or fundamentally change the community's culture and kick out anyone who refused to stop being an asshole.
they chose to switch things up, and things changed IMMENSELY. they leaned into being trans positive, implemented pronoun tags for runners and staff, and started banning people who sought to make trans people feel unwelcome in the community.
since then, there have been a ton more trans speedrunners. long-time speedrunners have since come out, and trans rights are constantly celebrated with even more casual-ness than the transphobic vitriol that used to be spewed at trans people.
games done quick even chose to move their events out of florida (and eat the cost of doing so) in part because of transphobic laws that could endanger trans members of the community.
GDQ has come such a long way, and has fundamentally transformed itself into a much more kind and welcoming community. for everyone.
