I guess the question is where does Wu run from here?
The criteria for Wu's next hugbox are:
- Money and/or prestige: no sense clawing your way into a scene with no payoff
- Well-intentioned tolerance: it has to be somewhere where accusations of misogyny, transphobia, etc. are taken very seriously.
- Low social skills: Wu's MO is pretty much to come across as the loudest, most well-connected person in the room, and steamroll the opposition. Against someone with equal or greater social capital, Wu invariably folds like a house of cards.
- Backchannel-friendly: As we all know, Wu's preferred dispute-resolution mechanism is going "over the top" to influence highly placed individuals who have broad authority. So the next hugbox will have to either have an "HR department" that can be co-opted, or a small handful of admins like Twitter etc.
If Wu wasn't such a disaster academically, I'd say going back to school for a Ph.D in Oppression Studies or something might be her next move. Academia would be full of prime victims for her.
He would be violating a bunch of contracts if he didnt refund their money in full. Thats $12,728 of contributions
This isn't true, Kickstarter has no money-back guarantee. If you contribute to a project that mismanages itself and wastes the money, you're just out your investment.
