I'd have gone with something like that famous 'Before and After' shot of the Nazi party, with visible gaps where people who displeased Hitler used to stand.

Also note the nearly invisible guy to Brianna's left. Wiped from the history books by the matriarchy or hiding to ensure his chances at gainful employment after his contract is up?

Edit: I'm also genuinely curious how many of these people are cisgendered shitlords.
 
Última edición:
I decided to glance at her actual Twitter feed. That's a mistake I will never make again.

I know that nearly all lolcows have their inexplicably white knights and asspatters, but Brianna's might be the most explicable of all (save for maybe Ahuviya's). I don't know how anyone can read her idiotic outbursts in good faith and not see how vapid and incoherent she is, regardless of where one stands on an issue. Fucking Internet madness.

Thank God for this forum.
 
It's like people who hated Obama so much that they are willing to vote for any republican regardless of how qualified they are as long as it meant Obama would be taken out of office.
 
I think they know but it would be of even greater damage to their ideology to admit that she was crazy yet difficult to tell apart from their other heroes.

That might be just as frightening if not more so than Brianna herself.

And I think this is what gets me: in principle I don't think I really disagree with her on major points. I think that the vast majority of iOS/Android games are stupid, too - so I don't look for them and I don't play them. I'm not really a fan of "epic" and/or violent games either - so I don't look for them and I don't play them. I stick with Nintendo as far as console games are concerned and I play a lot of simulation or strategy games on the PC.

I will readily admit that I don't have a good idea about what goes on inside the industry itself, but from a consumer's point of view, I feel completely spoiled for choice. And with the ubiquity of things like Steam and GOG, I don't even have to limit my selection to the latest releases. Am I a gamer? Am I not a gamer?

I don't care about the answer to that. All I know is that Brianna is a stupid fucking imbecile.

It would seem this depends on if you being a gamer/not-gamer is convenient to the context of the situation.

For sure but I'm pretty convinced the people who still support her are the "wear my activism on my sleeve" type who haven't really bothered to look much into this. I'm still hoping that rogue ex-employee does serious damage to Wu.

Oh, they're aware that she's insane. Some months ago, Ghazi held a poll over who their favorite LW was. Harper, Quinn, Sarkessian, and Wu were the choices. Quinn got first, Sarkessian was a close second, Harper was a distant third and Wu came in dead last. This all took place before Wu's big blowup last month, though.

The rank and file members are generally sticking with Wu out of solidarity, though her increasing instability is driving some off to the more popular LWs. Interestingly, Katherine Cross (FemFreq's secretary) openly defended Wu and supposedly emailed Wu claiming something to the effect of "For better or worse, you're one of the leaders of anti-GG".

Personally, I think they're aware now that they made a lolcow one of their figureheads, but they realized it too late and now Wu's become malignant.

Kinda makes me wonder what the breaking point will be for all but the most insane SJW types then, because Wu only keeps topping his own crazy, narcissism, and hypocrisy.

I really haven't seen one yet. The worst thing an SJW can do is be reasonable and willing to hear out the other side peacefully and politely. To SJWs there is no middle ground. Even the most extreme ones will still retain some of their hugbox. The ones that slide closer to being rational are the ones ostracized the quickest. It's how any extremist group functions.
 
"emdroid" has posted on reddit. Seems legit and not a fake, and emdroid mentions KiA on Twitter.

EDIT: here she is saying essentially the same thing on Twitter:

EDIT II: THE EDITING: She's saying that she doubts Brianna really hired someone to take care of the Twitter account:

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Well, the examples above paint a different picture in the sense of "going mainstream". Anita is the most 'normal', the one that has some sort of real reputation and the one that will end affected the most if stuff gets out of control.

The thing about the four is that: They want to be successful and recognized. But the four have obvious degrees of sanity. Example: anita and Zoe reacted with disgust after the Law&Order episode make them look like victims that should not have being involved with "scummy gamers" while Wu was using it as an insane example of "THIS IS GG!". Both Zoe and Anita realized that this episode will piss a bunch of people that were not even aware of GG, including figures with actual power in the industry; Wu, incompetent in thinking about career prospects beyond PROFFESIONAL VICTIM, decide to ride the crazy train.

The SJW that we laugh about are lolcows like Wu, and this is the people that want to eliminate rational strains. Anita, Zoe and Randi are actually aware that they cannot burn every bridge (thought Randi is closer to Wu in crazyness and incompetence when is about do a real job).

After all is over or at least the storm pass away, I think the only one with some form of reputation left would be Anita. Zoe is "normal" compared with Wu or Randi... But that shit about Overdrivewhatever is a disaster waiting to happen even if Randi don't drags it down. Still, Anita has the shadow of Mcintosh waiting to say something really stupid to piss off the people not aboard the SJW mentality. Even NeoGaf cannot whitewash or ignore Mcintosh when he decides to talk directly.
 
The pic is actually based on the infamous "Law & Order" episode where it paints GamerGate RedChanIt users as criminals trying to kill a female game developer. No srsly.
is it me, or is anti-gg just misogynistic as fuck?
honestly, all i see from them is "we must protect the weak damsel in distress, we need more big strong men to shield the fragile women"
over and over it's just, OH NO TEH WOMINZ THEY NEED SAVING
 
Wu dijo:
Protip: If a woman pulls you aside and tells you something you said was sexist, just explain to her that it's not.

Wu one day later dijo:
How many people does everyone else block a day? I'd guess for me it's about 20-30 on an average day.

Just to make sure I've got this right. If you say something to Wu criticizing anything she does, you're sexist. If you're called a sexist and you're not, you should take Wu aside and explain that you're not. But that is considered mansplaining which is something you shouldn't do.

Which is all moot, because if you say anything to challenge any view she remembers she holds you're blocked within minutes of saying it since she never leaves twitter.

I know it's been said countless times but how can anyone see this never-ending stream of conflicting statements and outright lies and believe a single thing she's said, ever? It's so frustrating knowing there are so many people this damn stupid.

The first tweet you posted was clearly sarcastic.
