I got some nose plugs to handle the smell of crap and dove back in. Who are the other people that Wu talking ove - I mean sharing a panel with?
 
To be honest, the whole SXSW Interactive portion seems like a complete horror show cesspool of dip-shits and do littles who like to get together once a year and have a massive congratulatory circle-jerk while they grasp for the new-new thing and talk about their bullshit start up, latest crowdfunding scam or shitty product. They should just call it South-by-Sell-Out. Good thing I'm not cynical.
 
So I'm about to chew through my cheek here.
Is there a point to this, or is this just a bitch session in front of a bunch of people?
It probably could be somewhat interesting, but Wu keeps interjecting with inane bullshit that doesn't deal with stuff like "data" or whatever it is that you use when you talk about factual issues.

Wu talks about personal experiences like the good engineer she is.
 
If Wu thinks that Jace was s legitimate threat, why didn't she try to prosecute him?
If Brianna Wu is a champion of women in technology, then why isn't she allowing the other women more time to speak?

Did anyone else notice that whenever she's not talking, she's scanning Twitter to report anyone critical of her? Christ.
Can we get a live triggering out of her?
 
What I do find amusing is the note on female journalists. There are more people than ever attending university, and more than ever taking journalist degrees.

The problem is the need for the number of journalists is dwindling. Newspapers are cutting costs, and the majority of their puff pieces (which would've been where most people would have started, let alone women) are written by robots, which means there's simply less jobs going about. Websites are in the same boat, with their obnoxious scales of advertising pushing most for some sort of adblocker.

Instead of the sob stories, how about solutions? A lot of this panel is just raking up muck from the days of yore and proceeding to navel gaze.
 
Franks is talking about revenge porn now about a woman who was assaulted, filmed, and revenge porned. Every once in a while Wu goes "yeah".

Wu: So I want to get to actual specific policy things that we want.

Munoz: Someone of you may have heard about this woman from Azerbaijan. She writes against corruption at the highest level. They put cameras in her home.

(Munoz is talking about issues way more serious than Wu. It's like a professional baseball player showed up a little league game. She's talking about corrupt governments doing extremely evil things against women journalists. Good God, how can Wu nod her head at this and then start talking about Skull Mask?)

“The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.”
--Hunter S. Thompson
