Wu has been continuing her decade long vendetta against Jesse Singal by using the same tactic she's always used -- lying.
This week she's decided to claim that Singal wrote to Cenk Uygur and tried to get her fired.
Singal absolutely denies this:
I have to say I 100% believe him. I don't think he'd say this if there was the slightest possibility that evidence would surface proving him a liar. I think we have to conclude that Wu is making shit up.... again.
Incidentally, the venue that Wu made this claim is on
this TERF podcast where she was a guest. I listened to the whole thing, and even on 2x speed that was a miserable experience.
Highlights:
- Wu is still claiming to be the "second fastest Peach speedrunner in the world." She knows this isn't true, and she knows that even that brief moment of time when it was in some vague sense true it was only in a niche category created especially for her and she was second fastest because only two people had posted times. Pathetic.
- Wu got absolutely assblasted when they exposed a logical contradiction between her newfound TERF belief that trannies aren't women and her insistence that good trannies (read: her) must always be called women.
- At the end, Wu was invited to discuss what she's doing. Her response was that all her work this cycle was in "backchannel" and she couldn't talk about it. I think we can take it as read that Wu is now essentially persona non grata in political circles and that a pivot is coming.
Perhaps she's going to pivot to making anti-tranny films.
I watched that Envy/Desire short that Wu's bankrolling the sequel to and it was bad. It reminded me a lot of Ben and Arthur, which Red Letter Media did a fine episode on:
It's nowhere near as funny bad as B&A, but it's definitely a movie that exists because the maker has a message they want to hit you over the head with and the delusional director decided they also needed to star in it. Aimee Armstrong is a terrible, terrible actor.
The premise is that there are good, tradcath trannies and bad, AGP troons. Aimee hates troons. That's it, that's the whole movie. That's also going to be the whole second movie that Wu is involved with as far as I can tell. I hope Frank's bank balance is healthy because the gofundme isn't looking so hot.
