Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Jaimas]

Guys, set your faces for "laugh your asses off" mode:

@Jaimas, no need to worry about Wu's bullshit suddenly vanishing, I'd still keep a copy of the Inspirefest video, but that's one of the pieces of drivel being touted as a "victory" against Gamergate.

http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Gamergate&curid=167863&diff=1486387&oldid=1486386

Lol, no.

If she ever gets out of games dev, she could always be a comedienne.

Let's be fair, the first critical site you'd probably get in a Google search for "brianna wu" is ED, and a lot of people would be pissed off that it outs Wu at the very start (even though she's obviously transsexual) and it's hardly unbiased.

Not quite, Wikipedia is first, but ED is right after it, as well as a lot of other stuff outing Wu for what he really is.

Gamergate wasn't mentioned once? Calling it now, Bri-bri knows the whole "game developer" shtick is running dry and is moving into a more general feminist (professional victim) role. When her game is out and GG begins to fade she will have to relay on that instead.

This is more or less stated openly on her Patreon page:

Create Exclusive Women in Tech Media
$4,500 per month
Part of Giant Spacekat's mission is to support Women in Tech. I'm doing powerful writing like, "I'm Brianna Wu and I'm Risking my Life Standing up to Gamergate," which was one of the most viral things on the Internet that week. I'd like to take that to the next level - turning my work and other women's work into short, viral films. Imagine the impact pieces like, "No Skin thick Enough," turned into a two-minute internet short.

So basically she wants to have her monthly tugboat increased by 1,500 dollars (she currently receives about 3,000 dollars a month from her Patreon) so she can make vidoes. She was never really set on her goal in life. First she was comic book/animation writer with that whole Socially Unconscious Productions bullshit; then she was an intrepid reporter who would make Woodward and Bernstein proud. Next she was an artist; now she's a video game developer and "software engineer" with one game on her resume. Should Patreon provide enough doe she'll become a viral video producer. In the tradition established by St. Sarkeesian, comments and ratings will be disabled of course.

Way off topic, but I know from experience that Thunderlord or Gjallahorn are better in almost all situations.
Edit: If we're going to sperg about this we need to necro the Destiny thread.

Then maybe you should stop working in the tech industry if you don't like working in the tech industry?

I seriously doubt she will ever hit that and that she can make a viral video. We all remember all the huff and puff regarding that amazeballs gg video that would blow everything out of the water... I foresee her Patreon and fame dwindling until she's forced to live of Franky boy again. So much for being a strong independent womyn.

I don't know how she can even make that comparison. Most of the show is these guys with an amazing product looking for funding while other companies try to rip them off and squash them before they're even off the ground. All done while they have funny banter.

Wu got everything paid for her by in-laws, had nobody pushing for deadlines, and was working on a shitty mediocre app game that nobody wanted to even buy much less steal. All done while firing employees at the drop of a hat.

His patron account has been slowly dwindling down as Gamergate hoopla dies away. Ditto for St. Anita.

That's the trouble with hipsters; they lack long term staying power and are fickle as hell.

It's almost like they're repeating their bullshit to the point anybody with ears can actually sense they haven't said anything new on those fronts for months...

Why would someone who looks so utterly ghastly on video think this is a good idea?

About the only thing Wu does worse than designing videogames is looking good on video, usually coming across as some kind of creepy stick insect.

 

[Jaimas]

In which Wu features prominently, looking crazy.

Check page history for more context, but let's just say a lot of stuff has been memory holed.

 

[IwegalBadnik]

I am not familiar with Brianna Wu, however, I did run across this and figured it might be of relevance to someone else.

 

[José Mourinho]

1. lol

2. Finally some actual R60 content after whining about GamerGate

3. Kotaku again

4. This shit again? Come on...

5. And you're incapable of explaining shit to us, Wu

6. The flag

7. lol

8. Jesus, it's like Homer who whines about how "fake gamers" don't know about his avatar

9. wow nice maymay

 

[wheat pasta]

Hahaha. First women bitch that there's no fat girl representation, then when there is (highly ACCURATE fat girl representation, at that-- speaking from experience) they bitch that they don't like it. Maybe there should just be no women represented in games at all, ever. That'd certainly appease them.

No, that's misogynist.

I thought Wu wasn't going to be a part of call-out culture?

 

[Jaimas]

Hey, Wu, you know who comes across as a harasser?

Here's a hint, it's someone who has repeatedly and knowingly conflated widely-discredited bullshit by third-party trolls as credible harassment whilst never actually doing anything or taking any steps to curtail their behavior that led to them being criticized in the first place.

So yeah, Kiwis, I spent 3 hours yesterday updating her article. I have so far to go.

 

[Sarcastic Username]

Wu will do this forever.

Her Patreon continues to trickle downwards, but she's only lost $20 in the past two weeks.

But Frank can essentially support them both indefinitely. It's not unusual for someone with a job like his to be a sole breadwinner in a family with kids, and even if Wu is bringing in $0 per month, that's still enough for them to live indefinitely, especially if they are getting low rent because of Frank's uncle.

It does mean that Rev 60 won't have any employees besides her.

Lots of couples fight about money. I wonder what fights go on when, after she has drained his life savings, he wants toto fund his 401(k) instead of helping hire devs.
