I like "Quake done 100 quickest" much more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhzXKMqZBBc

In most speedruns, player runs away like a sissy little girl. In this speedrun, players aim for 100% kills and 100% secrets. Secrets actually make it more interesting to watch, as they often store the Quad Damage powerup.

"sissy little girl"? You sure you don't mean "scared little boy"? Why use such antagonistic gender language?

If you're going to make that point, it should probably be "scared little child".

If we're going all the way, "little" may be offensive to people with a growth disorder, and "child" is age discrimination, the whole combination implying that only children can be small and scared.

tl;dr, stop being so politically correct everyone, sheesh.

It obviously wasn't intentional. Why do you speak with much violence?

Because it's important for us to root out sexism where we find it, for the same reasons we pull up any obnoxious weed. The fact it wasn't intentional makes it all the more obnoxious.

Yes. Sexism is terrible and must be eridacated. I thank you for your hard work making the world a better place (for yourself), and suggest the following to make sexists even easier to root out:

Make all sexists sew a yellow male-sign onto their clothing.

Sexism... by replacing "girl" with "boy"? Equally sexist.

By replacing "boy/girl" with "child"? Ageism.

By replacing boy/girl/child with "person"? Humanism.

Yes I can go on.

> By replacing boy/girl/child with "person"? Humanism.

Obviously idiotic.

"Violence"? (a) that's not verbal violence and (b) we're in the context of Quake, which is not exactly a nonviolent activity

I think he technically meant to say 'sissy little boy.' The word sissy is not necessarily 'antagonistic,' at least according to its accepted definition of "weak and fearful."

Funny, I just watched that run again last night. My favorite stages are the ones where enemies are killed after the stage is finished. That technique shaves a few seconds off the overall run.
