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

[Apteryx Owenii]

I'm convinced Wu wrote those questions herself. They were extremely self-mastabatory and she kept going "what an excellent question" as if she was congratulating herself.

The whole "what an excellent question" crap is usually a ploy to stall for time to think of what to say while making the interviewer like you

...unless they've interviewed more than one person before, in which case they are probably tired of hearing that crap.

Nah, her answers weren't really fluff answers for fluff questions, they were gobbledy-gook misdirections in response to light- to mild-questions. The "great question" before 4:00 was along the lines of "You want to fix/change a bunch of shit, but you'd be one little Representative and Dems have no power, so WTF you gonna do?" and John starts rambling some bullshit about Apple and Google and the "legislative side of solving issues" and veers off into understanding technology and infosec yada yada... and just on a second closer listen I realized just what a completely gibbering non-answer it really is... it's incoherent and legitimately makes absolutely no fucking sense. Yet it was preceded by "that is such a great question! You know, I really thought about that this last election...".[edit: @Blue Jerkop: double stalling]

He thinks he's got his canned "politician being interviewed" answers down pat, just like he think's he's got his quippy talking points to feed to his ass-patters in the media. But in a live interview with a neutral (not even hostile) host, you don't have the ability to line them up for coherence and syntax ahead of time like with print (or with notes/script on the phone for an article that will only use a couple sound bites), and if you're not actually competent at bullshitting it just sounds retarded.

It does look like Wu fed them a bunch of leading info before shooting; essentially most/all of the GG crap (perhaps with some level of suggestion as to how some issues are to be approached).

P.S. 3:40 [interviewer]: "You are a really major figure in your world." Rarely is a statement both so false and yet so true.

You know, fuck it, I'll be the problematic asshole who says it, you fucking pussies:
She's put on weight. Particularly noticeable in the face.
I'm sure that's somehow our fault too.

Wasn't there evidence that she was a smoker at one point? Maybe John had to give up before undertaking throat surgery, and replaced his nicotine addiction with food. Its pretty common to see a weight gain after quitting smoking due to gorging on food and a decrease in metabolic rate.

I'm already imagining a future with her as a HAES advocate, weighing 400 pounds and getting around on a scooty puff.

Didn't she also do a complete sperg out about how New Balance running shoes were now completely haram as well? Maybe she had to give up jogging because no other shoes fit her dainty lady feet as well? (The amusing thing here is that New Balance is actually based in Massachusetts;
Brianna is apparently boycotting a local business and reasonably large employer.)

The New Balance thing was a nontroversy that arose in the aftermath of the general election. Reacting to public mood, the company's public statements flip flopped from supporting to denouncing Trump, so progressive liberals only had time to hate it for a few days before the company repudiated previous statements and joined the anti-Trump camp

Keep an eye on that YouTube video of the interview, the comment section is currently full of embarrassing shit for Wu, including the deadname, links to lolcow wiki and "Where's the patch?".

 

[Caddchef]

Learn better diction.
"You know. You know. YOU KNOW. Y'KNOW. Y'KNO! YNO. YOU! KNOW!"

I haven't heard a bigger missuse of the phrase "you know" since i first played Jill's mission in the original Resident Evil.

This was her tv interview she did today. She looks and sounds more ogre-like than usual.

For posterity, before comments and ratings are inevitably disabled.

His hairdresser didn't do a very good job eliminating the racing stripe from his hair, it's still an obvious color difference.
I notice the camera mostly stays on the side with his hair down: trying to hide the bald spot and weight gain?

Tiptopkek. Wus so full of shit he became politician, amazing! I tough Wu would snarl away in shame after the revolution 60 release but somehow he just keeps rolling on.

That's the beauty of Brianna Wu as a lolcow - her ego won't allow her to fade away into obscurity. As long as she has Frank's money, she will keep coming up with new half-baked schemes to get the fame, power, and influence she craves.

"Gee, Bri, what do you wanna do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Frankie: try to be someone important!"

John kinda passes as a woman in that interview. Only as a senior citizen though.

I agree. I thought he passed better than I've ever seen him. And that voice is, I think, I scoche more feminine (how the fuck do you spell "skoshe", anyhow?). A creepy, horrible woman, but a woman.

Seriously, though, ALLLLL the 'threats' they posted were from that one seriously iffy-looking account? The hell kind of journalism is that? If there were so many hundreds of them, surely they could do better than that!

... It has, however I think it needs to be updated with a Nerf gun, a cup of Soylent and a "Wu 2018" button.

 

[Elbe]

If you can stomach it watch the video again but focus only on the wide shots where both are visible and the interviewer is talking - Wu's face (lips, eyeborows, everything) is twitching like a lunatic.

It must be creepy as fuck being around Wu.

Flynt/Wu looks like an old man in a wig.
