That's a subniche of a niche. Yes, women have always been on the internet, but arguably they had their own "spaces" within it. I was making a larger point about the internet in general.

When women first enter a male space, they are marginalized--meaning, they have little to no influence on how things are done and special concessions are not made for them. They tend to not have a problem with it because they understand that they are essentially trespassers. Think the one female tomboy amongst a bunch of guys on the basketball court. She's allowed to play, but the guys aren't going to change their behavior or give her special treatment nor does she expect it--she just wants to shoot hoops.

But, as soon as females are allowed in as a matter of policy, or at least the space is now acknowledged as one of "inclusion" that includes females, things begin degrading. The males, usually policed by white knights and Karens, are required to walk on eggshells and change their behavior as to not offend the females in the group. The males will also start engaging in petty social politics and trying to appear attractive to the females by acting douchey. Picrel is a roughly accurate explanation of the process.

If you've ever been on an exclusively male group, where there are absolutely no females around, such as a hunting trip, you will know that the energy is dramatically different than when even one female is around. A group of male friends and I were shooting targets out in the woods all morning. At one point, one of the guy's girlfriends showed up to drop off some food. As soon as she arrived, the energy completely changed. It was as if we all stopped acting like men and were walking on eggshells like a bunch of domesticated faggots.

I resent that trannies are the first topic of conversation whenever anyone brings up speedrunning. I liked speedruns since before agdq even existed and the community has utterly ruined itself. It's always the first thing I think of whenever I see this comic, having been invaded by trans people, corporatised entities pushing unnecessary political agendas and socially retarded wannabe e-celebs who will obsess over a few milliseconds on runs of 30 year old Nintendo games.
