Brianna Wu / John Walker Flynt - "Biggest Victim of Gamergate," Failed Game Developer, Failed Congressional Candidate

[Lord Xenu]

I don't understand what John could possibly add to a screen play about GamerGate that you couldn't just get from his twitter. Nothing besides attaching his name to it. You would think basic research into him would tell you that's a bad idea. I mean any rando who worked in any office would have a more valid position to write from than a person who's only paid job was a clerk at gamestop for two weeks back in the 90's.

I don't know anything about how TV shows get made, but does anyone think it's possible that John (read Frank) is funding it or something? It doesn't make any sense. Especially when Zoe and Anita are probably more hard up for cash than Johnny here. They must have been asked first, and why would either say no? They're constantly trying to worm their way into media projects. I think there's something fucky going on.

Dignity. Both Zoe and Anita have publicly expressed they want to move past gamergate, neither provide rent-a-quotes about it. Wu on the other hand would suck Cenk Uygur's cock in Times Square if she thought it would get her name on TV. She's the one "victim" of gamergate who is constantly available to the media. She's probably signed up to all those help a (fucking lazy) reporter out sites to get more interviews.

Frank isn't funding this, it's just a stupid pitch they're going to try to shop around to netflix and co. which will never see the light of day. Nobody gives a fuck anymore, not even Kotaku are sucking Wu's severed dick over this.

How is this monster still alive at this point. John's skin looks like it was spooned onto his skeleton.

Now that John is going to be a full-time screenwriter, will he resign his 80-hour-a-week job as the unpaid executive director of SCAM PAC?

I always found it amazing that John had the time to play video games while working 120 hour weeks tirelessly fighting the Trumpocracy.

It’s never getting made. The article says he’s working with Mind Riot Entertainment, which appears to just be a talent/marketing agency founded in 2019. He probably paid them to get that article written.

How John manages to keep being an asshole on Twitter without anyone calling him out as a white dude evading consequences by pretending to be a woman is fascinating. Racist white dude becomes uber lefty feminist icon is a story definitely worth telling. He should write a story about that: Mississippi Spurning -- To escape the racist South, I had to leave my dick behind.

How dare you, working with Brad was a very important part of this project:

That necessarily implies that the women will be stereotypes. Because they will be written by two men. And one of those men is a troon, which means he sees women as EVEN MORE stereotypical than the average man.

I'm always entertained/fascinated when someone with limited to zero theory-of-mind gets to paint a picture of their boogeyman-du-jeur. Not enough to ever actually watch this dreck, but just enough to sit here on my little sideline and gawk at the "process" and I'm using that term very loosely.

I want Little Timmy to drop the controller with tears welling up in his eyes as he realises all the hurt he has caused. "Come back to Jesus, Little Timmy," I'll say, "and tell people to fuck their mothers over Fortnite no more."

Lulzy article

Exclusive: Mind Riot Entertainment Work with journalists, game developers, and computer programmers Brianna Wu for GamergateA series about her experience as a critic and target of the infamous 2014 online harassment campaign, where the studio chose the right to life.

The 2014 Gamergate Online Campaign ignited a big fire targeting women in the gaming industry who laid the foundation for the current problem of disinformation and hatred. QAnon, Covid-19 Conspirator, had Gamergate before the January 6 riots. Wu was one of the targeted women, including Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian.

This series explores the origins of a wide range of threatening campaigns from the perspective of multiple fictional characters in the gaming industry, from executives to journalists to indie developers.


Gamergate Wu and J. Brad Wilke (Camel spider), Mind Riot Entertainment’s Jonathan Keasey (parallel) And Jeremy J. Dodd (One country under the count).

In 2014, a personal attack caused Wu and her husband to help a female game developer, journalist, and player targeted online by violent and sexual attacks via social media. As a result of his efforts, he was forced to flee his home in Boston under the threat of an online murder. message board.

In the aftermath, Wu ran for Congress in 2018 on behalf of a tech woman. Wu shares her story in numerous publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Guardian. Her experience, along with the experience of other Gamergate targets, has been featured in many television and film projects, including the 2015 documentary. GTFO “Intimidation Game” episode with Law and order: SVU.


“In addition to thousands of news articles such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, I’m not going to reread the same story told in multiple documentaries like this: GTFO.. Our series focuses on new fictional people in the industry who react to horrific situations. Explaining why the video game industry couldn’t stop being hijacked by crazy fringes, just as Gamergate’s tactics led to tragedy like Christchurch and January 6th. I can show you, “says Wu.


Keithy added: “Collaboration with Brianna is a big score for us. Based in Seattle, one of the meccas of national games, we wanted to shed some light on this subject for a while. I am honored to co-author the series with Brad. “

Wilke is represented by Mind Riot Entertainment and Bracepoint Law. Dodd is represented by Mind Riot Entertainment and the Bracepoint method.

LOLOLOL. John is fucking delusional, as usual. The only female characters in the episode were clearly based on Zoe ("They leveled up" girl at the beginning) and Anita (the game designer). There were no shaved wendigos or Baba Yagas letting their dogs freze to death or screeching DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? in the episode.

BTW - hiring a bunch of women, only to fire them, pay them a $1, and hog all the credit is the OPPOSITE of "standing for women's rights", John.

That's amazing. She really thinks her TV show cowritten by the creator of such hits as "A doggone Christmas" is going to be the road to damascus experience for millions of the deluded alt-right. Delusions of grandeur hardly even covers it.

I suppose if we're honest, my years of Wu watching has taught me quite a lot about disinformation. I now wonder if there are lots of other people like Wu who are totally lying about every aspect of their lives but never the less are promoted by a credulous and lazy media. I suspect this is the last time we're ever going to hear about Wu's TV show, but if it does get made I hope it'll enable more people to learn about Wu's entire fictional life.

In other words, it'll be a televised version of those fake e-mails that John would occasionally send himself, pretending to be a Gamergater that was so dazzled by her technical prowess and natal woman beauty, that he reformed and is now feeding homeless dangerhairs in Calcutta.

Typical Brianna - he’s probably writing his acceptance speech for his Emmys and mental health service awards he thinks he deserves before even a pilot has been written. If it gets as far as Gen Zed did with a trailer I’d be shocked.

"How those poor lost boys misinterpreted their own opinions".

You know, I really want to crucify whomever made "ethics in games journalism" into a shitpost/punch line. It's like when South Park distilled issues of illegal immigration down to "DEY TERKURR JERBS!"

The conflicts of interest between game devs and journalists did not start with Quinn, nor have they abated since then.
