I agree with the central thesis in the piece to which this comment is an appendix - i.e.: that the uncritical overlaying of "achievements", especially in the case of games that predate the feature's invention, is a deleterious cultural pathology - and I also think this comparison is perfect But,

Speedrunning is cool because it's obviously a Pervert Way to play a videogame. Weird challenges are also for perverts. Perverts are cool. Achievements have normie-fied perversion!!!

Bewildering genre-response to That Fucking Post Of Mine that I saw several times: "there are way more people complaining about complaints about sex scenes in movies than there are complaints about sex scenes in movies, therefore the complaint-complainers are the Real reactionaries". Great stuff!

These are basically the same in the PS1 edition except the age in which men are assumed to be gay if they haven't had a girlfriend has dropped to 25
