A speedrunner who participated in the current (as of writing this) Awesome Games Done Quick charity marathon, running a Final Fantasy game, was banned by the GDQ organizers for 18 months.
Why?
Did he say something inappropriate during his run, or otherwise behave in an inappropriate manner? No.
Did he say something or did he behave inappropriately during the event otherwise, towards other people, or on social media, or something like that? No.
Did he do anything at all during the event, on stream, off-stream, or anywhere, that would have justified this ban? No. He didn't do absolutely anything during the even that would have elicited this.
So why was he banned?
Because at one point in the past he made one single tweet where he expressed support for the economic policies of some political party in Spain. Regressive leftists don't like this political party, and call it "far-right". (I have absolutely no idea what the policies of this party are, but if SJWs are calling it "far-right" I have my serious doubts.) And in his twitter profile he says that he opposes "feminazism".
That's it. He was not banned because of anything he did during the AGDQ marathon, or anything he has ever done in relation to the GDQ events, or even speedrunning.
He was banned because of having once in the past expressed two political opinions. Both of them completely unrelated to GDQ, or anything even remotely related to them.
And now, rather obviously, the gaming press is writing hit pieces about this person, making all kinds of defamatory accusations and calling all the names in the book.
That's GDQ for you. Do you still want to support them?
