No wonder MTF-MTF edates within speedrunning, ROM hacking, Old Windows, YTPMV and all the other spaces they dominate in seem to always come about as a matter of attention whoring and community drama.
Also, I should point out a very interesting thing that seems to be worth pointing out:
A lot of the people who are relevant to the troonery going on in anywhere that seems obsessed with 2000s aesthetics such as ROM hacking, legacy Windows, phone jailbreaking, old YouTube clones, YTPs and YTPMV, Touhou, emulation development and speedrunning... can all be traced back and have ties to people from communities surrounding a bunch of long gone Discords from 2016/17 Bob Pony Community, Aurora Community, Armada, Netsky, NC Network, Sam's Lounge, NevionMC, the ElectronicWiz1 Server, Aero Community... many of these had all the same people and behaviours going on in them, lots of drama and in this day and age many of the people who were prominent in surrounding those communities now have a good 2,000-100,000 followers on Twitter. (best example is "foone", another example is the gimmick account "ringtonebangers" ran by an ex-Aero Community admin)
(Another source would be the communities that spawned around GBATemp, as well as the AcmlmBoard spinoffs "jul.rustedlogic.net", "board.kafuka.org", "kuribo64.net", "smwcentral.net", "rvlution.net", "101gamers.com": the last two being long dead with limited archival resources, but many people who are or were part of these all seemingly loosely unified communities around those seemingly also became sperging, Twitter-famous, troon-enabling activists at the very least.
Except the owner of the last one mentioned, though he became a sperg in his own right, seeing as he literally once made a thread over here:

Man, I guess liking Nintendo after the age of 5 is like buying a one way ticket to hell... (and certainly not back once you snort HRT, if anyone realises that I snuck a song reference into this sentence)
