Hot Take re:Youtubers
Apollo Legend is a white supremacist, he defended White Goose, a white supremacist when he got rightfully banned for being anti-semitic.
I don't know why other speedrunners are having such a hard time condemning him as such, even when they called him out on it. They took issue with it instead because it's "dishonest" Yeah sure, but what was he lying about? I think that's the more important context.
Actually I know why, a vast majority of the speedrunning community are white af to the point that even the idea of banning people from SGDQ and AGDQ for racism and transphobia raised the hackles of the speedrunning community. Gross.
That's not even getting into how he constantly starts witch-hunts and goes after other people for clout, and then plays the victim when he gets called out for it. Or, you know, the thousands of donation money that was supposed to be used for defending against litigious assholes like Billy Mitchell being stolen. I have absolutely no sympathy for him even when he says he's feeling suicidal. I guess he now knows how his victims feel, eh? Doesn't feel so good when the tables have turned, right?
Fuck Apollo Legend, him exposing cheating speedrunners does not nullify the damage he did to the speedrunning community. Fuck Apollo Legend, he deserves oblivion.
