I'm not entirely certain if this is a very elaborate shitpost, or if this person is actually this dense and this pretentious at the same time. But in either case, shitposting is fucking dead. Either because the pinnacle of shitposting has been reached and every future attempt will just pale in comparison, or because (as has been the fate of satire already) because genuine takes have become more (and better) shit than actual shitpost.

Of course, the "1/14" isn't real - it's actually 15, which the shitposter/philosopher realized halfway through the rant.

Obviously, there are exceptions to this and some people more in the center or right also "speedrun". However, they more than sufficient to prove the rule, rather than contrast it. Consider how woke GDQ has been, almost since the very beginning. Your eyes will start to open. 2/14

Returning to the topic of the work ethic... A "speedrunner" may well spend hours a day at their craft, but this is ultimately a meaningless exercise, since they will ultimately accomplish exactly that which is done in less collective time by a casual player. 3/14

This is thus a waste of effort on the behalf of the "speedrunner". Put more simply, they are spending their work effort on something that someone else has already done (and done in a way deemed 'correct' by the creator of the artwork). Why do they do this? 4/14

The answer is quite obvious if you think about it. The goal is the illusion of speed and the desire (SUBCONSCIOUS) to promote radical leftist, borderline Communist ideals of how easy work is. Everyone always says that "speedruns" look easy. That is part of the aesthetic. 5/14

Think about the phrase "fully automated luxury Communism" in the context of "speedrunning" and I strongly suspect that things will start to 'click' in your mind. 6/14

What happens to the individual in this? Individual accomplishment in "speedrunning" is simply waiting for another person to steal your techniques in order to defeat you. Where is something like "intellectual property" or "patent" in this necessarily communitarian process? 7/14

Now, as to the sexual archetype model and 'speedrunning' generally... If you have any passing familiarity with Jordan Peterson's broader oeuvre and of Jungian psychology, you likely already know where I am going with this. However, I will say more for the uninitiated. 8/14

Keep this passage from Maps of Meaning (91) in mind: "The Archetypal Son... continually reconstructs defined territory, as a consequence of the 'assimilation' of the unknown [as a consequence of 'incestuous' (that is, 'sexual' – read creative) union with the Great Mother]" 9/14

In other words, there is a connection between 'sexuality' and creativity that we see throughout time (as Peterson points out with Tiamat and other examples). In the sexual marketplace, which archetypes are simultaneously deemed the most creative and valued the highest? 10/14

The answer is obviously entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and others. Given that we evolved and each thing we do must have an evolutionary purpose (OR CAUSE), what archetype is the 'speedrunner' engaged in, who is accomplishing nothing new? 11/15

They are aiming to make a new sexual archetype, based upon 'speed' rather than 'doing things right' and refuse ownership of what few innovations they can provide to their own scene, denying creativity within their very own sexual archetype. This is necessarily leftist. 12/15

The obvious protest to this would be the 'glitchless 100% run', which in many ways does aim to play the game 'as intended' but seems to simply add the element of 'speed' to the equation. 13/15

This objection is ultimately meaningless when one considers how long a game is intended to be played, in net, by the creators, even when under '100%' conditions. There is still time and effort wasted for no reason other than the ones I proposed above. 14/15

By now, I am sure that I have bothered a number of you and rustled quite a few of your feathers. I am not saying that 'speedrunning' is bad, but rather that, thinking about the topic philosophically, there are dangerous elements within it. That is all. 15/15

 

(narrator's voice) That was, in fact, not all. They then proceeded with (their words) "an addendum for the fools":

3) Yes, the critique also applies to physical sports. They are also nonsensical, but also not adding a new sexual archetype into the world, since it has already been introduced and is already negative (the 'sports star'). 4) Evolution exists and influences our behavior.

I have been linked a video by "hbomberguy" which made many of the same points as me, but did so while being a radical leftist and he was celebrated. I, meanwhile, brought in a contemporary philosopher who is more of a centrist and was ridiculed. This confirms my argument.

 

For your convenience, here is "speedrunner" DarkViperAU reading out the thread, without adding too much commentary.

The sexual archetype 'Fastest Mario' offered the following audio (transcribed):

Quote

YAHOOOOO!!

YA YA YA YA YA YA YAHOOOOO!!! WHOA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA

YAHOOOOO!!

It is probably the most egregious example I've seen that is seriously reaching but it's not like I haven't seen various hot takes from people over the years who contend that games like Grand Theft Auto are right-wing power fantasies.

Dumb takes on twitter are universal.

That tweet thread was made on my birthday. Clearly I am destined to become a speed runner who prefers elevated alternative sexual archetypes, as I’m already a filthy leftist communist socialist Marxist propagandist snowflake, meaning I must hate work and work ethic. Now to dedicate hundreds of hours to learning the craft.

That's the spirit. As Marx and Engels wrote: A spectre is haunting Europe - and it's haunting really fast.
(This works better with a more literal translation of the German text, I think: A specter is going around Europe - and it's going really fast.)

True, but this one is just such a perfect storm of confident stupidity. An alternative sexual archetype, in a Petersonian sense, exemplified by 'fastest mario'? A rant about speedrunning that finds room to include that "entrepreneurs like Elon Musk" are valued the highest on the sexual marketplace? I only have to subtract some points because they wrote "Jordan Peterson's broader œuvre" as "oeuvre" like a pleb, but otherwise, this might the pinnacle of Twit, sculpted out of pure shit. Just incredible.

A few years ago I would've been baffled and bewildered by that thread, but a year on Twitter has conditioned me to not even bat an eye at absurd nonsense, lmao.  If shitposting's dead, it's because there are people who carry genuine beliefs twice as ridiculous as those expressed in that thread.

I say this as an avid shitposter.

never realized shitposting had to meet quality standards, i'll keep that in mind

There are now, I'm afraid. Every shitpost has to measured against the carefully crafted nothing that is this Twitter threat. The opening tweet by itself would have been an excremental masterpiece, and while the other 14 tend to be a bit too interconnected to hold up to that standard individually, every single one still manages to add another glint of awe-inspiring stupidity.

Honestly, I stopped caring when it got to the sexual archetype.

Oh, just wait until to you get to the 'incestuous' (that is, 'sexual' – read creative) union with the Great Mother.

That is no shit poster. That is just a wannabe new age shit poster who do not know the difference between a figure-of-speech post and a literal shit post. I know because I am a shit poster, a real literal one. I text pictures of my actual poop to my friends for shits and giggles.

I am absolutely offended that Nazi racists and social justice warriors appropriated and twisted the definition shit posting into a discussion of real life politics and economics. We need to make shit posting great again by returning shit posts to its literal unadultered pure form, so remember to send your family and friends a picture of the poo in the loo that came out of you.

We should return to the good old days when the peak of shit posting is Two Girls and One Cup. (Jokes aside, if you do not know what I am talking about, do NOT look it up in public and make sure you are prepared to clean up any mess that results from laughing and puking at the same time.)

I would not worry about meeting quality standards. All shit posts are beautiful, so there is not such thing as a substandard shit post. It does not matter how big it is, whether it was hard or soft, what it smells like, what color it is, or who it came from, with the magic of panning your camera closer and pictures not conveying most of that info anyways, as long as your intended audience find it gross, funny, or have some kind of reaction, it is a quality shitpost.

All kidding aside, I do hope that the person behind the twitter account hasn't been and won't be revealed in any form. As long as the internet is laughing at "that guy with the Shep profile picture", well, this too shall pass. As soon as it reaches over into his actual life, it's a fucking problem.
