Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[John Titor]

John's the type of person who thinks that Vaan is a likeable and well-rounded character who contributes to FFXII's story. Hell, I'm surprised he hasn't posted about it already.

Literally no one does that.

Because no one offline knows or cares who you are.

"WHOA. YOU'RE BRIANNA WU! At first I thought you were come-alive scarecrow, but looking at this gut belt made it clear to me. No wonder your game isn't coming out if you are playing arcade games all the time. Hey! Hey! Guys look here, this is this professional victim I told you about, that one from the SciFi Channel thing we all laughed about..."

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Good to know that even if she actually HAD friends, she'd just constantly shits on them in her head.


Oh, and now she believes in compromise.

By this point I am pretty sure that Wu tweets as soon as she think she had some kind of epiphany, but before she thought it over a second time. You know, these moments where you have an idea, then you think it over and realize how stupid it is...

Calling it: GondorGandalfs will send a virus to BriBri, frying her every version of Rev60: SpEd and she'll be unable to release it.

And if a republican does it, it's a sign of weakness, lacking morals and hypocrisy, I bet.

Also:
Wouldn't it be glorious if Wuwu was invited to some speaking gig and the announcer, shortly before her panel ends goes "So, Brianna... show us your programming skills. Here's a Mac with a wide variety of different programming utilities, just make a little gadget while we watch a master at work!"
Never going to happen, but a funny thought nontheless.

Didn't she spend most of yesterday attacking someone on Twitter for having an opinion?

I know it's obvious that Wu has a big head, but tweets like this are screaming beacons of how breathtakingly egotistical he is. For someone who has currently no games available and cheats/pays to win other people's...just,

 

[Count groudon]

Honestly I believe if there were some way to upload her every though she has to Twitter, it would result in her posting less tweets.

Fighting online harassment, including swatting, has been a legislative priority for Clark ever since one of her constituents, the video-game designer Brianna Wu, was the target of a deluge of death threats and harassment during the video-game industry controversy known as Gamergate.

What Wu experienced was worse than most. Both men and women face widespread harassment online, but Gamergate involved a host of threats against women specifically—and high-profile women like Wu, in particular. In general, much of the worst harassment, including attacks that go beyond name-calling to include physical threats, stalking, sexual harassment, or sustained attacks over time, is disproportionately targeted at women, according to a 2014 study by the Pew Research Center.

“When we heard of what Brianna Wu was going through, and really started looking into Gamergate and how extreme—not only the level of threats that were coming in, but the velocity with which they were attacking women; really a 24/7 onslaught of hateful threats and comments. This shouldn’t just be something that we accept as part of women using technology in their work lives and in their personal lives.”

“When I report a serious death threat to the police, this is what happens,” Wu, the video-game designer, told me in April. “Invariably, a local cop comes to my house and instructs me to stay off social media. I cannot have a career without that online presence.”


Top comment is in moderation but is talking about Flynt.

Its good to see Clark is staking her political reputation on Brianna

Nobody does that, nor does anybody in the real world or outside of the Kiwi Farms or Gamergate give a shit about who you are, John.

You've spent most of your twitter career bitching about other people's opinions.

You´re obviously right. Im still wondering why she is so fascinating to read about. Altough to be honest Im just interested in what happens next, even more than CWC. But judging by current events the upcoming years will be everything but pretty.

 

[bigreddogdick]

Wu is fascinating because she has the key element of a truly great lolcow: an interior self-image that is completely at odds with the real world. In Wu-land she's the Godzilla of Tech Feminists, a gifted biologically female artist, designer and programmer who shipped a hit iOS game and can speak profoundly about a variety of technical topics. In the actual universe that we inhabit, she's an inept, constantly stalling con artist who wastes her time on pay-to-win games, humilating her equally weird husband and Twitter. That disconnect is the flux capacitor that fuels the truly legendary cows.

 

[MysteriousStranger]

Wu fascinates me because he's managed to keep up appearances. Still with an army of followers, still invited to speak on public panels (representing women!), despite being a fake woman, a fake engineer and an almost complete non-producer. It cannot possibly go on, and yet it does.

Without all that, he'd just be another sad attention whore.

The only people that think Wu has kept up appearances are hardcore asspatters, the army of followers consists mostly of dead weight (accounts that followed due to gamergate that long ago have lost interest; Wu gets incredibly few likes overall) and the only events/panels that actively invite Wu are unimportant.

You know us so well, little snake.

There's going to come a time - very soon - where Wu's cred inevitably runs dry. She's coasted for about seven months now, but every day she loses more Patreon supporters, and every day she becomes more and more of a joke. I remember @KidKitty once joking that she is trying to transcend her humanity and become a living meme, but this goes into a whole new area of idiocy.

She's unsustainable.

Has anyone tried to talk with John's former employees?

We have. Most will not go on record because of fear of retaliation.

There's quite a few that have told us stuff off-the-record, however. Short version: she has an infamous reputation in "the industry" as a self-aggrandizing fuckwit and everyone hates her because she's as charming as a pit viper. Pretty much everything Emma Clarkson has said has been supported by these anonymous sources.

We've already hacked the GIT and added a virus that'll detonate her computer's battery packs if she tries to upload the game to Steam.

Though be fair most of use do have a certain disconnect in this world to stay happy, positive and/or sane. We do know a lot about Flynt/Wus past. The obviously rich parents have played a definitive role in forming this disconnected behaviour. But I cant believe that it is purely behavioral. Its like she has a neurological condition in which she not only refuses, but mentally cant learn from mistakes. In some ways she is even worse the Chris on the autism spectrum.

It aligns with things such as;
- impairment in nonverbal behaviors
- Lack of social or emotional reciprocity

But in quite some other ways she is not. Has anyone done a thorough analysis before? There is no such article on the wiki
