I was wondering if Wu was trying to get sponsored, or if it's all for "tech" cred... Wu isn't exactly the picture of health or cute. In that way I feel she shares a weird failed (or pre-failing) marketing strategy with TFVG.

At first glance some of those people dont look too successful. Most of them seem to subscribe to the SJW screed though.

There are a few things I've learned in my life and one of them is, that people who feel the need to claim (unprompted) that they are successful aren't nearly as successful as they say.
If I encounter someone on a business level and that person feels the need to ensure that they are a "blah blah blah" in "rabble rabble rabble" and did "something something" I usually slowly back away because this behavior is a indicator for a bad working and payment morale. People who need to prove themselves don't just claim, they have something to show for.
Normal people don't go around telling everyone what they do and how important they are, unless they are on a party where they don't know anyone and desperately want to initiate some sort of conversation. Wu however (and many SJWs) need to repeat on and on what they do and why they are important.
Each time Brianna starts a sentence with "I am", "Im my field..." or "In my experience..." you can usually replace that beginning with: "I claim to be..." or "I think, although I really got no evidence, that...".

Hah, brilliant. She's every ignorant American tourist stereotype in one. She takes "food" with her from home when she travels! She even takes a fucking kettle! She only drinks coffee from Starbucks but worries that she won't be able to find any when she travels! I'm dying.

YES YES YES. 100% THIS. Wu does this much more than even other SJWs; at first I thought it was some sort of compulsive attempt to assuage a damaged ego, bolstering her lack of real-world accomplishments with lies, but she does it with such relish and so smugly, I think the truth is closer to what @Jaimas said: Wu genuinely seems to believe that she deserves all the accolades just for being Wu, and thusly that the hard work part of the equation which justifies said praise, such as effort, talent, actual artistic works...is wholly incidental...if not altogether unnecessary.
It's rather like those BLM students at Mizzou who've started to demand assistance for flagging grades which have suffered as a result of their protesting focus; it seems that these children of boomer or gen-x parents have internalized the idea that they really really matter (the cult of the self) above all else.....even absent the accomplishments to justify the focus, flouted social conventions notwithstanding. Rather disheartening really.
On a lighter note, however:
I dunno if we've seen this before, I can't keep my Wu media straight sometimes... there's just so much silly shit... I'm still going through it now, and as usual Isometric makes me want to take a long, hot bath with my plugged-in blow dryer, but right at the beginning, when Wu gets up and walks to the left for the group photograph, you get to see Wu's giant, 6'2" tranny self with her itty-bitty, candy-apple red kiddy purse. Reminds me of reading about Ed Wood's fondness for wearing little girls' play jewelry, even on into his 40s and 50s, as sort of an icon of his "femininity". Kinda like StaphInfectionOnMyKnee and her fixation with not just girl clothes but the "baby-doll" aesthetic, what is it with physically enormous men who go tranny wearing the most cutesy-pie, teenie-tiny girl accessories, rather than some less obviously ridiculous women's accessories which don't form such a stark, horrifying, hilarious contrast? Don't get me wrong; the more silly Wu gets with her dopey get-ups, the more we all laugh, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas as to why these large men fixate on almost miniature signifiers of femininity and youth...rather than something less outre. Suggestions?
And of course, "smiling for the photo" means full-on Snarl-Tic (TM). Did we really expect anything less?
EDIT: Ugh. New heights of awkward. Starting at 1:42, check out Wu's attempt at a "rock star" -type gesture, sweeping the paper cups off the table as Lubitz, who I'm now certain is concentrated cuck given sentience, introduces her. It's 100% pure WTF.
EDIT the 2ND: 'Kay, somebody explain this one to me: starting at 2:22, Wu describes her outfit as a "gold and white dress", when she's clearly not wearing anything of the kind. There's a bare minimum of awkward pity-laughter immediately following, but.....was this a joke? Tell me, for oh, how I want to know!
EDIT the 3RD: Holy Shizz. As bad as Isometric is as a podcast, this live version is.....a million times worse. It's even more apparent that it's basically a cozy-corner safe-space for Wu, where she's humored and encouraged, but it's even more in-jokey, asinine, unfunny, and irrelevant than ever before. Astonishingly bad.
EDIT the HUH? So, yeah. Start watching at 25:10 for Wu's description / demonstration of one of many "marriage games" called "Monster Madness" that her and Frank play with giant plush stuffed animals. It's.......it's the 'tism, folks. Le WOW.
EDIT the WU: so Wu literally makes everything about herself. At around about 45:10, Green Hair has just finished giving a long-winded, albeit serious and non-mocking answer to an audience question about being a games writer. Wu has just finished having a sissy-boi slap party with her co-host, using her giant smelly plush mollusc as a weapon, but you can almost see Wu's ears perk up when journalism is discussed. Then, just like the panel from SXSW, Wu interjects with: "Can I add something?" ....and all of us Wu-storians know exactly where this is going:
"You know, one of the things that's interesting to me is I went to school for Journalism." YES. I know this is a sort of conversational preamble, just Wu's way of "warming up the engine" of her ambien-fried brain, so to speak, but she actually says this. "....I got out, I knew how to write inverted pyramid story at really good clips, umm....you know, afterwards I decided to go make a job in tech, because I needed to pay my rent. Nowadays I have more writing offers than I can accept, and the reason is now I have a point of view, I have experience, I have something to bring to the table other than very predictable experience, so I wanted to move to other questions 'cause there's people in line....."
Wu then regurgitates this asininity about "point of view", but I'm flabbergasted. Even for Wu, this is fairly heinous. Wu has just pulled out her severed wangdoodle and pissed all over Green Hair's face: First, her answer somewhat directly (whether intentionally or not) contradicts Green Hair, suggesting that this nebulous "P.O.V" concept is more important than "very predictable experience". Second, Wu has lied up the Journo degree again, albeit unsurprisingly because this was before this amazing Kiwi sleuthing of 2016. Take note of the weaselly way Wu says she "got out" of college, not actually saying a degree was attained, but heavily hinting at such. Third, Wu is a piece of shit to insert herself into: A) a question asked to Green Hair directly, and B) a subject she knows nothing about. Fourthly, Wu's "Point of View" is essentially suggesting that her writing has more value because of the celebrity she gained being a GamerGate professional victim. Fifthly, the whole thing just smacks of so much bragging....."more jobs than I can accept"? What an ass. The kid asking the question was sincerely asking for advice, and Green Hair told him to not undervalue his own services, to not be afraid to ask for payment so that those he's writing for don't try to rip him off. Reasonably good advice, it seemed to me. Wu takes it as just another opportunity to pound her chest and sing her own praises. She really is a horrible person, even to her so-called "friends".

Reminds me of this fine gem from ASoIaF:
It's the fruit of several decades of media and parenting telling kids they are special snowflakes and that you're a winner just for trying/competing.
Sure, it's not terrible messages in their own right, but when done like it was in the 90s, you end up with a few egotistical jackasses that despite never achieving anything expect their asses being kissed.
It's really weird, people like Dobson, for instance, seem to be unable to grasp that "you are special" also means that "others are special". These clowns pretend they are above everyone else cause only they themselves are "special".
For one thing, they just have bad taste, for the other, by using such items, they hope to appear petite, I assume.
Also, just count your lucky stars Wu spared us a goth-loli-zilla getup till now.
On a somewhat unrelated note, the Wu Snarl kinda freaks me out. It genuinely looks like some sort of skinwalker trying to appear human sometimes. How a person manages to trigger the "uncanny valley" by his mere mimics is beyond me.

Again with the grey shirt. Is that her only set of clothes?
Plus/minus on Wu blaming this on Gamergate? Those are all old established accounts.

It was Pax East 2015 that she dropped out of. http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/19/8070269/brianna-wu-giant-spacekat-pulls-out-of-pax-east
Oh, but she went anyway. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2...-convention/hEzlyb5ggIf03vKycUa2aL/story.html
That last article is by a real journalist, and so he interviewed cops, who said the twitter threats were "not credible."

Dear Natalie and John Walker Flynt, I will try to convince President Trump that Seal Team 6 needs to be sent to Brianna Wu's house to extract both of you. Sadly, all of this depends on whether Saviour Trump will become president. I am sorry I can't do more, but unless the Wu's release both of you from their basement prison, my hands are tied.

A load of shit. That "YOU'RE SPECIAL" thing has been going on in some fashion or another since the 1900s.
You're blaming the wrong thing for their prevalence.
You're going to notice a connection with a lot of the people who are prescribing to Special Snowflake Syndrome: They're almost all well-off financially, or at the very least, are in no real danger of losing their quality of living. Most of them are collegiate. Many of them, such as Wu here, are fantastically wealthy, to the point where they are legitimately unable to empathize with the needs of a common man. SJW-ism is like cocaine; it's easy to get started on, and if you do it too much, you'll fuck up your life.
What basically happened is that the hipster douchenozzle culture our parents used to mock decided to get its freak on with the "this is evil and must be banned" culture of the Moral Majority and Religious Right of previous generations. Indeed, many of these people's loudest voices used to be on one of these sides - Wu worked for Trent Lott, Jonathan McIntosh was essentially a /pol/ poster on Infowars, and so on. They used their position and attachment to "positive" causes to turn them into the fucked-up nightmare we all know and loathe today.
Fact is, the Special Snowflakes are not, have never been, and indeed, will never be a majority. They're loud, and they're focused, and very good at applying pressure, but the majority they ain't. Their actions aren't palatable to the masses, and as a movement, these assholes are on the way out, because they're fucking poison and financially ruinous towards anywhere that embraces them.
Twitter is dying.
Tumblr's been bleeding money.
The Missouri University where Melissa Click happened has lost more than 20% of its attendees this year.
They're fucking unsustainable, and Wu's a great microcosm of this shit in action. Don't be tricked into thinking these people were anything other than a group of loud assholes who were lied to by a group of even louder and more egregious assholes.
QBert, I don't know how you manage it. I've been writing about Wu for months and every time I encounter some new bit of insanity from her, I start smelling burning toast without toast being present.
