The speedrunning community prides themselves on their diversity and inclusivity, which if you think about is kind of weird. Speedrunning is just trying to complete a challenge runthrough as speedily as you can. Absolutely nothing in that definition disqualifies you from being bigoted.
I've been wondering for a while now, what would happen if, for example, someone incredibly transphobic got the Celeste world record. Would the community accept the record, even though they'd be praising someone whose beliefs are incompatible with the community's self-imposed norms?
Would they apply a rule to the category to disqualify the new world record holder? Would the old record holder now have to introduce themselves as the speedrun world record holder in the Celest any% no major trabsphobia category?
