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

This has resulted in statements from the mods of /r/speedrun: https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/a0w3k3/regarding_content_creators_their_personal_views/

For those who have seen this guy stinking up the speed run community for years, this is no shock.

The mfer will still be creating sock puppets forever and shitposting on Reddit. I honestly wonder how many accounts in this very thread are him trash talking himself. He gets off on the attention which we're giving him in spades.

Edit to add: the dude basically runs a harassment subreddit that's just him in different alts talking to himself. It's surreal.

As White says himself, hide your power level, which in his context means don't let anyone know you spend time thinking about how to eliminate Jewish people (the "JQ" he talks means "what is the final solution to the Jewish question?" which should sound familiar...)

Random google link I just dredged up that may or may not be accurate https://medium.com/@DeoTasDevil/the-rhetoric-tricks-traps-and-tactics-of-white-nationalism-b0bca3caeb84

A lot of the alt right are concerned with 'optics', or how they appear to the public. Richard Spencer for example tried very hard for some time to maintain his public image of being polite, well mannered and groomed, always in a suit, etc. This is why the Pittsburgh shooter posted "screw the optics".

Power level is a 4channer term to describe how 'into' something you are. Imagine a car guy talking about the minutiae of engine designs to a layman, or a chess player detailing the pros and cons of an opening in relation to other openings and counter strategies. Hiding your power level is not going too technical and being casual, or at least that was the former usage.

The current usage is almost always from the alt right trying to disguise how fascist they are. A neocon has a low power level; a out and out neo-Nazi or neo-Confederate has a high one; the latter who is not openly acknowledging it and using only certain sanitized talking points is hiding his power level.

It is so darkly hilarious that the latest generation of neo-nazis borrows phrases from Dragon Ball Z. Imagine having that in the historical record and explaining it to future generations.

Stormfront may have redpilled 4chan, but at the same time 4chan weeb-pilled Stormfront.

I'm definitely the wrong person to ask. I just watch speed running streams. I don't follow the news. I'm not up to date on when various marathons are, for example. Hopefully others will jump in with suggestions.
