Hello, everyone. As the leader of OWF Discord, I think I'm obligated to give my two cents to this discussion:
@Vlam, @AvengingGibbons: The usual OWF sarcasm, I see
@ElectroTweak: Sorry that you had such experience.

The main reason I'm here, posting this essay now, is to debunk the myth that seems to have been created, that the speedrunning community is one of malice and negativity.

I don't think anyone here honestly believes that. We used to make some speedrunner jokes, but (at least from my perspective) they were much closer to friendly jabs than actual insults. It certainly got out of hand if you think we really think that way, apologies.
Also, what Xavier and JayDee said.
@Kapteeni13:
I'll be honest with you: To me it seems like you're at fault here. I'm not sure what happened between you and speedrunners before, but whatever it was, it isn't a good excuse to make continous effort to make others feel worse, making troll accounts etc. There were some people in the past who were like that, and those weren't exactly the proudest members of the community.
@Varrok: hey, handsome
