>if you play the same platformer over and over again to go faster you're a speedrunning tranny
>if you play the same racing game over and over again to go faster you're a perfectly healthy human being
explain this double standard

>playing the game the way it was intended
>playing the game 6000000 times to shave microseconds off each run
these things are not the same

I mean, if the platformer has a timer that gives you score if you complete it fast, then you're playing as intended.
Anyway, "speedrunning" is a modern term, we're talking retro here. If you just want to play for time bonus, then so be it, fuck what schizos on the internet think.

Most platformers have timers
So yes going fast is intended

If you turn off the game 2 hours in because you missed a 3 second save, then yes I say that qualifies.

Speedtrannies don't play games, they exploit them.

Time trial autists are just as insane as any Speedsperger.

For what it's worth, I do consider the extreme arcade scorefags to be just as bad as modern speedrunners. There's a line somewhere that playing the same game too often just becomes unhealthy.

If it was anything else I'd say it's an obsession but there genuinely are a lot of them in the american speedrunning community. It's not something I would say about any of the other groups including the randomizer community
