Brianna Wu / John Walker Flynt - "Biggest Victim of Gamergate," Failed Game Developer, Failed Congressional Candidate

[Ronald Crump]

In November? How's he going to survive without smugly talking/chimping out about Hillary's victory/defeat to everyone he meets?

Don't forget about the day of oppression aka Thanksgiving. I can hardly wait.

Surgery on her throat won't disable her hands, unfortunately. The only people who will benefit from Wu being unable to talk are Frank and the podcast cohosts.

She's going to simultaneously use it as an excuse to avoid working on any Revolution 60 patch while also upping her twitter usage (as if you thought that was possible).

The motorcycle Wu posed with is a confirmed rental. She owns no motorcycles and neither does Frank.

Somehow this is even funnier than the idea of Frank buying them one after being convinced they'll "learn to ride it someday"

I'm sure the huge list of close friends you speak to on a regular basis will be devastated.

Christmas comes early for Frank! Wont stop Wu snarling though.

He must be a riot at thanksgiving. I Imagine having to have dinner with him is like his tweets, makes everything about him and proclaiming his imaginary skillset. I feel bad for his ultra conservative family having to spend the holidays with him

I'm expecting a sad little Blue Apron tweet, complete with Powerade, with only Frank and John and their dogs in an otherwise empty home.

You wonder if his co-hosts would like to get rid of him and will use this opportunity to try -- OR whether he's a freakshow that ups the listenership.

I don't think his family's had anything to do with him in a decade or more.

Do you think his parents (entire family) actually have anything to do with him at this point?

Edit; @MysteriousStranger didn't see your post. Does anyone have any information on John's interactions with his family?

Brianna without her voice is the perfect thing for Halloween. Like people would walk by the house and see her in the window and think she's just some weird decoration, when suddenly her eyes shift from her phone to the people on the streets and she instinctively snarls at them as they run away from her in terror.

I was gonna ask the same thing. If I remember correctly his family, or at least his parents, realized what a fuckup he was and cut their losses after he failed at everything then decided to become a troon.

Frank could learn from them.

I actually contacted a few of John's former associates business-wise for the Wu Article.

Most refused comment, rightfully wanting nothing to do with her.

One, however, speaking under condition of anonymity, essentially established that the only reason that Revolution 60 wasn't essentially Socially Unconscious in space was because Amanda Winn-Lee and Carolyn Vaneseltine forced massive re-writes. It's frankly a miracle the game is as good as it is given Wu's involvement. She dragged the whole project down.

I wish there was some way to see the early drafts of the game.

Also, are people still afraid of speaking out against Wu? She's nowhere near as "important" as she was back at the start. Though I suppose Frank would still be willing to ruin people's careers. He's done it before.

Did Wu do the re-writes because it seems like she almost doesn't understand the plot herself. Like she was writing the plot as an afterthought and the true goal was to just reach specific scenes. The story feels like it takes a back seat over snarky dialogue and action scenes.

So had Frank and everyone BUT Wu had full control from day one, we likely would have gotten something cliche and kinda crappy, but with just enough charm to justify a possible sequel.

Worst part is that you can tell exactly where someone with a brain was doing the writing: just subtract all the parts that were lifted from John's shitty fanfiction.

In fact, I'll put down money the actually decent writing where the Mary Sues were revealed to be idiots helping the real villain and the Chinese guys were the heroes all along must have been something John fought hard against. I'll also bet the parts where Crimson 09 was given something resembling a justifiable reason to be resentful (being forced to do piddly BS like check on soybean futures) must have been fought against as well, since in the original source all the ladies were just catty backstabbing bitches because that's how John sees women in his fantasy world, but in the plot twist he must have hated, you can actually develop an odd bit of sympathy because she has something resembling a decent motive for going backstabber.

Oh to be a fly on the wall when Brianna was told by women that her characters are shit.

It's kind of a bad idea to publicly badmouth a former employer unless they did something really shitty, since it might make future employers more reluctant to hire you. Maybe she just wanted to play it safe.

If your significant other buys you a motorcycle, it's usually a sign that they want you to die.

Why wouldn't they be? She's rich, unspeakably petty, and has nothing better to do than ruin anyone who pisses her off sufficiently. And you can't even retaliate in kind, because she doesn't have a job or any real social standing you can take away.

Though I know it'll never happen, I like to think the second the potential employer sees Wu/hears her insane rambling they'll immediately go up to them and say "ok yeah you were right that thing is fucking insane."

People who were in contact with John only once 10+ years ago still remember what a weird and creepy fuck he was (is). I like to think this isn't outside the realm of possibility.
