How dare you. I realize that Brianna Wu is a hideous banshee, but how can you not find Greth'l'kor the Goblin King attractive?

I think the thing that irritates people is that BriBri loves to speak as though her opinion is some kind of technical insight or game dev law, when it's really just an opinion.
Most people can handle just saying "I don't like X because Y and Z", but she'll always phrase it as "X was not a good game at all. From a technical standpoint, the use of Z is ridiculous, and Y is just extra garbage thrown at the player for no real benefit. Not good design in the least."
She talks like this, as many do, because she's insecure and wants to sound intelligent and insightful, but I think it winds up being one of the biggest things people hate about her. It's a really pretentious and self-important way to speak, and I've long wondered if people might not be better disposed towards her (or at least, harbor less open hatred for her) if she didn't do this shit.
For example, I didn't really enjoy Undertale. I thought it felt like something that was designed from the ground up to be a cult hit, and it was trying way too hard to be a sooper deep and amazing game with omglolzrandom humor. It wasn't a bad game though. Undertale was an amazing game, with a lot of time and care put into it. I just didn't fucking like it, and that's fine.
It's odd, but I really do think if she learned to phrase an opinion without trying to come off like an expert people would hate her less. After all she's done, it's still easily the most irritating aspect of the Wu persona.

Totally agree and that is exactly one of the reasons I love to hate Brianna so much, just the sheer narcissism and arrogance she puts on display each and every day. I would love nothing more to see her rage at being put down a peg or two. Or three.

Sometimes I try to get into her head and understand why she acts the way she acts, and I often fall into the trap of assuming she's at least somewhat rational and follows a normal train of thought, however skewed that may be. She is highly insecure, that much is obvious, but I think the huge difference between her and other insecure arrogant people who lie is that she's been lying to herself and everyone else for so long, she has completely succumbed to her lies and fully believes them without any doubt.

Thats also why if she perceives something as even slightly being an attack on her character she reacts so viciously. In a lot of ways she's defending her life. Her lies are a shield and if a crack develops the whole thing might crumble.

Except Neville Longbottom who was weak willed until the last book where he got tortured by his teachers/Slytherin but endured and metamorphosed into Harry Potter Lite. Which I thought was shitty writing because all the character development happened off screen, but it's still absolutely a thing that happened.

No, you retard, it has a subtext that lazy, selfish, evil people frequently get fat. Mostly for the lazy part, but also because of the selfish aspect - the less you care about what people think the less you worry about your appearance.

Just like it might not be surprising to find lazy narcissistic people living in filth and squalor.

I guess that time you called some poor woman a "fat dyke" is a dated aspect for your life then, Wu? I mean, you had a penis back then.

Also, Hagrid is possibly the kindest, most unambiguously good person in the entire series and he's not exactly a slender man. If you're going to lie about reading the series, please try harder.

Or hell, if she wants to go for the "stereotypical fat", there's Molly Weasley.

it's a study in cognitive dissonance

she's a failed journo who once she releases her game is going back to journalism

no wonder she's stalling

There's also the fact that what John says is always completely wrong, and his argument from authority is always, invariably, from some credential that he doesn't even have, like having a degree, or being a woman, or some other shit that just isn't true.

It raises what would be merely annoying, from someone who actually had credentials but was momentarily suffering a brain-fart, to outright infuriating.

What rounds out the trifecta of stupid is that John will only ever comment on highly mainstream pop culture fads or events, resulting in a perfect storm of spergery in the form of the 40 year old dude in a wig sermonising about Scooby Doo LEGO. I cri everytiem.
