Jesus F. Christ, Wu hates Youtubers - and good god, does she hate TotalBiscuit:


Bolded for emphasis:

Brianna Wu said:
...To say one comment on that very quickly, your question was "What can the industry do to address it?" A good place to start would be the men here understanding that it's a problem, which is not currently the case. So, we have a long way to go. Uhm... The Problem when you bring this stuff up in the first pl-- like, if you talk about it in this industry? Like, if I tweet about it right now, I tweeted some of the people involved, I'd get an avalanche of people defending this behavior?

(Jaimas Note: At this point on the panel, the woman sitting next to Wu is struggling not to laugh.)

Uhm... The truth is, it's not a mission priority to the men that have a large audience in this field. You know, like TotalBiscuit, he's someone who's very popular in this realm. He's transphobic, and sexist, and horrible as someone can be, and he has a massive audience. So there's just... No awareness that this is important. And... I mean, what I do to address it is I put political pressure on him. But... It has much worse consequences for me than it would for like Patrick, or Doug Miller, or really anyone else in the field. So... You kinda feel that this isn't, y'know, a problem of behavior of women, this is kind of a problem with the way men choose to behave. They- This is- Their act to start cleaning up.

Wu mad triggered, yo.
 
For all its faults, Patrick knows that if he talks about SJW stuff all day people are going to get mad. Also, he truly got nasty stuff like "I wish You died instead of Ryan" a year after his dad death so dunno to say he get less than her.

(Then again, if Patrick had some backbone, he would have cut any contact with her after going to Kotaku and the Jace fiasco)
 
Brianna's sperging about Setzer underlines just what a poor writer she is, IMO. Even if you were to put the worst possible spin on Setzer's motivations during the Maria arc, he does undergo significant growth--or, perhaps, explanation--during the game, and ends up a stronger and more memorable character for it. If he wasn't a little skeevy or shady in the beginning, then his subsequent character arc wouldn't have any heft to it and no one would care about his Tragic Past(c). This is Writing 101 here!

Also, I'm not watching that video. The title is not encouraging.

It's hilarious how caustic she is towards TB when just last year she was asking him to put the word out about her game. I also noticed Wu had no examples or evidence of his awful behavior...besides, you know, the fact that Brianna is upset, so these accusations must be gospel. What a vile person.
 
Brianna's hate-boner for TB started on twitter when TB said he could no longer take her seriously because of her behavior. Needless to say, she was triggered and went on to have a slap fight on twitter with him telling him that he was old hat and she was forging the way for "new gamers".

TotalBiscuit doesn't make games, but it's obvious to people who watch his videos that he knows more about proper game mechanics than Brianna Wu.

Edit: Also, the accusations of "transphobia" come from the concept of "prefered pronouns", the extreme versions. He made tweets calling himself "toast-kin".

He isn't the only one out there calling TB awful. I believe it stems from when TB defended a line in a song that SJWs where claiming was trans-phobic, So in their eyes he must be himself. You know, because anyone who disagrees with the hive mind must be evil incarnate.

That and he very loosely supports GamerGate.
 
1. Looks like Wu has found something else to whine about again. This time, it's Twitter leadership, how they don't deal with the harassment on Twitter, how the EEEEVVVILLL CIS WHITE STRAIGHT MEN are not calling out on this issue (what does that got to do with it? idk, i'm mansplaining)
