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".
