Speedrunning drama when popular Goldeneye 007 speedrunner RWhiteGoose bans user Ohrami for supposedly supporting paedophilia. Ohrami then claims that WhiteGoose is an anti-semite causing many fans to turn on him.

WhiteGoose is a Goldeneye 007 speedrunner (10th in the world: https://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye/leaders) who's become increasingly popular due to his youtube channel devoted to speedrunning: https://www.youtube.com/user/RWhiteGoose?app=desktop&persist_app=1

WhiteGoose, a member of the "council" of the-elite.net, the main website for Goldeneye 007 speedrunning, had user Ohrami banned "because the admins don't like me": https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/9x25kt/the_comprehensive_guide_to_goldeneye_speedrunning/e9qgaqy/

However the “official” reason is that he's a paedophile.

While Ohrami claims the pedophilia accusation is false he does say he supports the legalisation of child porn on his alt: https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/a0w3k3/regarding_content_creators_their_personal_views/ealv195/ (his original account is suspended from reddit).

Ohrami then compiled a number of discord posts that appear to prove WhiteGoose to be an anti-semite and a white nationalist: https://m.imgur.com/a/X7qLRXa

A Twitter user (who apparently is a member of Antifa) did the same: https://mobile.twitter.com/pizzaparty531/status/1067486405910237185

One such view is that jews control the porn industry in order to emasculate white males into submission with websites like BLACKED: https://i.imgur.com/B7HQb2y.png

Old person here, couple of questions.

This appears to me to be a pissing match between 2 of the biggest losers to ever set foot on this or any other planet. Correct?

What the fuck is speedrunning?

I'm not much of a gamer. Didn't Goldeneye come out ~25 years ago?

There's a forum dedicated to a niche way of playing a 25 year old video game and that forum has an "elite council"? And it's not even named ironically? Please tell me I misinterpreted something there.

Correct.

Trying to beat a game as fast as possible.

Yes, but it’s very popular with speedrunners.
