Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[AnOminous]

Never mind that the women in question would still have to actually be applying for said jobs. There's actually a term for what Brianna is calling for with Apple (and other companies) - tokenism. After all, who gives a shit if these people are actually qualified for their position or if you passed over more qualified candidates? Your percentages are up!

The problem is in the pipeline. Women simply aren't studying these things in proportional numbers. Maybe it starts as early as primary education. Maybe part of it is even people like Wu who spread terror about the idea of tech as a boy's club, with the perverse effect of actually discouraging girls from even starting at a young age.

It's even possible that once all artificial barriers are dismantled, men will still disproportionately prefer these fields, and at that point, you'd be artificially forcing the hiring of women into jobs they do not actually want in the first place via forced quotas as if numerically identical representation in literally everything represents equality of opportunity.

Also, if you do that artificially, the jobs aren't going to be done as well and it will be inefficient.

Trying to fix the problem at the very end, though, is never going to be effective.

If there's a steady stream of women graduates in STEM fields, they'll get jobs. It's as simple as that. These companies actually want to hire women and if anything, it's a bonus to a qualified woman.

Wu, someone who grew up a white boy, is not helping.

Wu, someone who grew up a white boy, is not helping.

It also doesn't help that the actual ability Wu has in terms of developing with computer technology has never really been defined.

We can use the "progress" on the R60 port as a measuring stick for how much Wu really understands the task they now bear soley upon themselves now that the people who actually built R60 for Wu have long since abandoned GiantSpaceKat.

From whenever the R60 port to Steam was announced to now, the ONLY progress even implied to have occurred is slight tweaking to at most the four main girl character models and the re-rendering of the "enhanced" intro cutscene which lasts probably no more than a minute or two.

For comparison, anybody who has a basic knowledge of SFM can acomplish virtually the same thing that's taken Wu months in only an hour. If the models need to be created from scratch, at MOST the time would then be a month if each character model took a full week but even then I'd expect those models to look far better than what Wu's tweaked a few sliders on and labeled "improved" from the originals.

Five Nights at Freddy's has, in the same rough time period, put out four entire games with each one having unique models for each of the animatronics, rebuilt the AI for each animatronic a staggering number of times, and converted every single one of those games into a mobile version that has different internal mechanics as well (I.E. FNAF 1 for the mobile has more aggressive animatronic behavior to account for needing to make the clock progression faster). The amount of work Wu's supposedly done for the main R60 game in comparison is about on par with one of the FNAF trailers in terms of custom model animation, and pretty much nothing from the trailers that isn't obviously 100% gameplay is not in the associated game. So, essentially, Scott Hawthon has done at least four times as much work as Wu on throwaway promotional trailers alone.

We're not even sure if Wu has a working version of R60 that's playable on a full desktop - it's not like there's any indication she's figured out how to get around the problem of most people not having touchscreen monitors or anything.

His Twitter includes a link to his site, which has his contact information.

Don't bother you'll just strengthen the angle that she's harassed/oppressed. Let Bri dig her own holes, she's starting to get really good at it.

 

[Count groudon]

Notice how she's barely replied to him at all once he started calling out and picking apart her bullshit, yet when someone who's obviously not very well known or kinda naive says something she prances around them tearing them apart and spouting unfunny comeback lines when they say something back.

Yeah, Wu is a lot like an annoying 6th grader who talks down to other kids on the playground while freezing up and crying if they actually hear her. She's a vulture that only goes after someone if she thinks she has a 100% chance of winning or knows they won't say anything so she can feed her ego, but then there are times like this when her victim actually stands their ground and is much more intelligent than she assumed that causes her to delete everything she said and hope that they forget her when they have better things to do.

It's like if 6th grade all the kids had their follower counts floating above their heads like health bars all the time.

I have a touchscreen laptop and that would be frustrating and not very intuitive, so I can only imagine what it would be like on a desktop (stationary) monitor. It's definitely a game meant for a handheld tablet.

I thought she was looking to change it to a Typing of the Dead set-up?

He won't last half a day. If he does, I'll be shocked:

Well, she was trying to unleash her tard mob on Jim Dalrymple, maybe being used to people simply caving in and apologizing after her transplaining.

I give it 2 hours.

i say..... 5 hours

John got spanked. Now he's pouting.

 

[NegaCWC]

It's bait. She makes sure to include her email in the tweet so a gazillion of weens will send her emails filled with insults and expletives. Once she comes back to the twitter she'll post screenshots of whatever was caught in her fishing rod.

EDIT: Do we have a word filter now that changes w-e-e-n into "cool guy"?

 

[Cynical]

Did a little research on Wu's usual followers, can be divided into the following:


Gullible white guilters: You know, those types that have totally drunk the koolaid all cops are corrupt and want to have every excuse to kill blacks (even if they were the aggressors). In this case, Wu's just the loudest and most ignorant voice in a trend.

Macfags: The types who believe Apple/Mac is God and Steve Jobs was his prophet. Again, Wu is riding a trend here, but one he's slightly less of an idiot on. Note: slightly. John fucks up actually having serious cred in this field, but makes up for by being a great shill, though as we saw with those tweets he burned when his Mac went to hell, he's just a noob cosplaying as a smart guy.

Radfems: The unironic "Kill All Men" types mostly. The more sane feminists might follow along, but you'll notice only the radfems latch onto anything Wu says as gospel, and whether Wu is actually a man means nothing to them, they'll follow or listen to anyone spouting their shit loud enough, and Wu is happy to oblige in exchange for followers.

Anti-GGers: A diverse group, but mostly boils down to the people who blame Gamergate for everything from terrorism to their milk spoiling.


In all the above cases, Wu has no real opinions of his own, he's just milking these saps in exchange for asspats and sympathy.

He won't last half a day. If he does, I'll be shocked:

"I will stop writing crap on twitter for a few hours so I can pretend to work and/or be hurt by "harassment." Oh and by the way after all my antagonizing tweets filled with horse manure, here's my e-mail if some of you want to send me a message to voice your disagreement/call me an asshole which I will then use to support my victim narrative."

 

[Francis York Morgan]

It's bait. She makes sure to include her email in the tweet so a gazillion of cool guys will send her emails filled with insults and expletives. Once she comes back to the twitter she'll post screenshots of whatever was caught in her fishing rod.

She's been throwing around her email address whenever possible publicly. I guess the harassment is getting slim these days.

 

[Cynical]

At this point, Wu sucks unholy ass making that shit up himself.

Also, I'm willing to bet Wu has probably gotten some shit calling him John Flynt he can't use for obvious reasons, even though it's probably perfect victim narrative material.

That just gives Wu plausible deniability:

 

[Count groudon]

That just gives Wu plausible deniability:

Why? She just did it herself. Man her followers kiss her ass so much all the bleach in the world wouldn't get her shit off their face.

 

[Cubanodun]

That just gives Wu plausible deniability:

im sure he just switched from his public account to the FeministX one, he must talking shit and bawwing about how people is mad at him

also Banana know that he can use the farms for infinite pity points but the lolcow wiki is there as a nuclear deterrent, he can't do it without exposing his article

Posts it at 1:32 in the afternoon.

Gosh Brianna, that's almost a whole 11 hours you might be away from your phone!

 

[MiloWuCollusion]

Why? She just did it herself.

Because that would mean held her accountable by her actions.
