I finally thought of who Wu reminds me most of in terms of the superiority complex despite being ludicrously unimportant, endless prattling in the attempt to sound noble, and just batshit lunacy:


Anyone else remember this guy? I see the same ludicrous disinterest in reality and 10-year-old mindset in him as I do in Wu. If Twitter was big back when he was trying to get his UFO to work, I imagine he'd spend as much time ranting on it as Brianna.

That guy who got famous for his stunt of pretending his kid got lost in a weather balloon? And now he's making his kids into "the youngest metal band ever"?

The one and the same. I used to follow him as something of a lolcow figure (he is seriously batshit insane, if he has a source of daily shenanigans he could even be worthy of a thread) and I get so much deja vu watching Wu desperately try to claw her way to being a feminist icon and/or oppressed martyr.
 
1. "Lone Male Gamer"

2. Yeah, go ahead and set your computer on fire. I'll laugh at you harder.

3. I don't know, maybe you should look at yourself first?

4. You're late, Brianna. Now the movement/hashtag is focusing more on SJWs than ethics because they're the main problems to them lol

5. *tips fedora*

6. I bet 5 bucks that she relates this to Gamergate.
 
Between calling her "totes real" official twitter account managing employee and that peggle tweet, I have to ask what Wu's obsession with Sephiroth is all about? Is he just the only video game villain she actually knows? Also, does she not realize that most people consider him an over-hyped weeaboo wet dream pretty boy with no real charm or personality beyond "zomg so tortured and emo."

It's because Brianna's idea of what women are is essentially a teenage girl. Maybe this is her version of a mid-life crisis? She often seems like she wants to be a young girl rather than a professional woman in her mid-30s.

I think you just answered your own question. Consider for a moment what Wu thinks are well developed characters:

Sephiroth is also a omnicidal megalomaniac. Wu's ego makes an instant identification with that.

well, as long as the anti-ggs keep screaming at the major media, that myth wont die.
as long as people keep painting gamers as all male neck-beard straight cis-scum, you wont be able to push the idea that HAWT GRILZ play tha vidya too.

This is the schizophrenia of these people. "All gamers are male cishet scum with soggy knees who live in basements with orange Cheeto-dust colored beards." Followed closely by: "Why won't they let us join up and be gamers."

Which is it? They're scum, or you want to be one?

Never, will I ever be able to get over checkerboard dress girl's stupid fucking antennae. OK, so maybe she has genetic enhancements that make her look like a bug (???) but why in god's name are the antennae red with hearts on the end? There is no faster way to make someone stop taking a character seriously.

You have to remember, Games wasn't this guy's first choice. He tried to do his shitty fanfic as a comic or an audio thing or whatever first.

I wonder if he has the same tightly-held stereotypes about video games being worthless shit, thus his half-assed attempt at making one. "Who cares it's all kiddie shit for idiots, amirite?", like how other rich people handle license games.

tbh, i'm surprised SJWs don't all just claim to be gamers
they love to appropriate cultures that have faced problems in the past.
they could be going
IM A GAMER TOO, I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE FOR PEOPLE TO LOOK DOWN ON ME CHECK YOUR MOVIE LOVER PRIVLIJ

Kinda falls into the "catgirl" trap where they're not really some other species rather than (what Wu thinks is) a hot anime girl with some meaningless features from something else for fetish fuel I guess.

I mean if you're gonna have a bug person, make there be some reason for it. Extra limbs, limited flight, hidden poison stingers (though proportionally could be SPEARS), something actually buglike. Especially if it's a deliberate genetic modification. I'd almost be able to buy what she currently ended up as for some sorta "we're running out of bees so we're basically making these mutants that can interact with and pollinate flowers" or something. But then that raises the question of why chessboard would want a bee lady if her only skill was pollinating flowers.
