This Mario Kart World showcase is such a letdown

Giving credit where it's due, the Crash Bandicoot 3 run was very good.

I tried to watch the Lylat Wars (aka, European Starfox 64) run, but the runner's commentary is insufferable, the dude just goes on and on without catching a breath.
 
Holy shit during this Armored Core run. There's an ogre in a dress sitting on the couch. I can't even focus on the run. This event man...
Yeah...I think I'm done as far as this event goes today.
 
I don't think speed running is quite as popular as it was a few years ago but regardless this is a masterclass in how to destroy an event. It became a trans rally to the point where the games and the actual speed runs are just background noise. These are the people who want every piece of media to support their beliefs and be all inclusive yet we've all seen when media does this, those people don't support it. This is nothing more than a reddit/bluesky convention.

Imagine if the very top players of a bunch of games got together for a few days, not even just speed running, and raised money for something. Put a bunch of them in a arc match and fun stuff like that...have a block that's called Harry Potter done quick..have that one dude show up and do a backflip. It'd clear 10 million in 3 days

We had them. They are all but banned from events like this. The ones that made events like this fun 10 years ago don't tow the trans line or refuses to put their pronouns up are gone.
