I am too late for the party and feel rather masochistic today.
Does anyone have a link to a recording of the entire thing?
It was essentially 80-90 minutes, with Brianna talking about herself and her opinions for about, I'm gonna guess about 50 minutes worth of it. She interspersed it with the other panelists taking about very real problems like revenge porn and journalists in Turkey being arrested for being female, which Wu would always come back into the conversation, name drop her company, name drop online groups that have called her out on her shit, and repeat.
At the end, they opened it up to all of three questions, all of them pretty much devoured by Wu.
The entire panel very depressing, not just because of the subject matter, but by the fact that instead of being about actual problems, it became another Wu Pity Party. I mean, just look at the other panelists during this entire event. It's obvious they have things they want to say, but none of them speak up and are effectively silenced by Wu's yammerings about Gamergate.
There was one part in particular, and I apologize I cannot remember the content of it, where Mitchell, the African-American in the panel, was geting a bit emotional about what she was talking about. You could hear it in her voice, see a flicker of fire in her eyes. But then Wu just slushes on in and brings the conversation back in about herself and one more of her insipid stories. It is goddamn maddening.
"Calling you out on your lying ass" isn't "Silencing free speech."
Furthermore, please tell us more about how you let your sick dog die out in the cold while you were to busy looking at Twitter and how it's GG's fault.
