Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Ruin]

Privilege is knowing the right people to talk to to have your critics banned.

How can Twitter justify sucking Wu's authoritarian dick to this extent? Doesn't Twitter make a big fucking deal about how much they supposedly respect freedom of speech?

Yeah, like Reddit does.

I honestly can't tell if Wu somehow has THIS many connections in the industry or if people are letting her on solely for the shitstorm it'll cause.

If she was actually talented, this kind of networking would be insane

Indeed. This is wealthy, white privilege.

"Guards! Guards! Remove that peasant immediately!"

I doubt she has that many connections beforehand, and I doubt many of the people that have written pieces about her will be using her again. Most of the outlets that have written up about her "plight" did one-off stories about it and never followed up on it. Wu is essentially a momentary human-interest piece that fills out a few criteria that are of interest right now and will get a few extra clicks, but nothing more substantial than that.

In the end, no one is going to remember Wu as being a pioneering game developer, pushing the envelope and trying to create new and innovative experiences. She is going to be remembered as the person who cried "bully" and got a lot of people all puffed up and gave her money, to which she used to buy expensive toys.

Expect a lot of game media outlets to try to hype up Revolution 60 when it comes out and say how it was a triumph over adversity, and then forgotten less than a week later. Maybe in three of five months, they'll write up another piece when Wu chimps out about her game not selling like gangbusters and how de ebil goobergabbors poisoned the well or whatever.

Wu is good for clicks, not for content.

"Anita, Zoe, and me" would be a much more accurate reflection of their importance, in descending order, natch.

I've been teaching myself some basic coding so I can help my best friend with a passion project of hers. She's getting her master's in game design & can code pretty well, but art is more my forte than hers. As I'm working on some sprites, she asks [via text], "have you thought of being a game dev?"
I immediately thought of Wu, et al. & threw my phone down with an audible "oh GOD no!"

But now, after some thought. . .we really do need some sane female game devs, don't we? So congratulations, Brianna. You've inspired me. I am going to be the anti-you, while you, ironically enough, sit around & make internet comments.

Also your game is bad & I would not have sex with it. After seeing Rev60 in, err, "action," I feel horribly guilty for ever ripping apart Chloe Sagal's magnum opus. At least she can code really well.

EDITED TO ADD: go, aspiring women! Go & not be Wu to the extreme!

Apologies for feminist sperging. I just wanted to share.

Wu has no important long term connections but pretty sure still had (or has) an army of followers that would shut on anyone shitting on her if the side community they are part of allows it.

A year ago, it was blatant that somebody in NeoGaf really wanted to push Wu as the new Anita by making threads about her 'fight' and people that they thought very highly of her were banned or labelled GG. Hell, motherfucking Ryulong appeared in one of the GG discussion threads before he was booted of Wikipedia. A poster cringed Jace PreCar stunt to prove she was harassed until proved that he was not dangerous but a month later, nobody was allowed to bring that up.

Dunno if falling from grace by Ghazi did make that she was less pushed in that forum.

"Anita, Zoe, and I."

I do love how he stresses as if he's part of something with these two women, despite neither Anita nor Zoe ever acknowledging him (as far as I know).

[vertexwindi]

Fair enough, but that was one Tweet and got deleted almost immediately, didn't it?

I'm pretty sure both Anita and Zoe know not to encourage crazy.

 

[MiloWuCollusion]

The three are crazy in their own way. They have different goals in the long run (or the lack of a long term goal in the case of Wu) and have being careful in not getting too involved on each other drama .

In that regard, Wu seems the less interested (or more incapable) of having a positive social status. Zoe wants to get in politics by activism and Anita were in parties with Notch and Joss Whedon.

Nah. Zoe and Anita are con artists who discovered they could make huge sums of money by pretending to care about feminism. Brianna is sort of like Dobson. She wants to validate her womanhood through asspats and media attention.

 

[MiloWuCollusion]

Being a con artist doesn't mean not be into politics or going with celebrities (or not being crazy).

I'm posting a giant screencap, this whole thing is comic gold.

Start from here:


Just want to say one thing: Fought and bled for being a "Woman in Tech"?

The only bleeding you've ever done was when your dick was cut off after your "urinary tract" surgery.

Great, they disabled video comments as well as ratings. Nice. They really are about speaking up and freedom of speech, aren't they?

Flynt, you haven't made a single game since Revolution 60. All you've been doing is nailing yourself to a cross to say that you're oppressed and abused. All of it stems from you and your behavior.

Comedy gold part 2, where Wu tries to accuse Gamergaters of whiteknighting Coontown

Start from:

 

[AnOminous]

More of this Wu retardation where there's some guy, apparently a supervillain, called "#gamergate" and he's walking around and doing stuff! It's all the same person, apparently.

 

[Cucky]

Considering Wu's obsessive detailing of so-called "harassment," you'd think she would have pointed to this vileness, as it would have "proven" her claims of "harassment" and "slander," lending truthiness to the Wu narrative.

Wu knows it's mostly true, though.

Well, there aren't any death or rape threats here so. You can blame 8chan for anything because it's ever changing but here everything is stored in a long thread. Worse thing here is misgendering him and straight up mocking. What's he gonna say, "those kiwis are making jokes at my expense and calling me Joh.. Jokes, just jokes. Not a tranny btw!" We simply aren't the droids he's looking for.

Wu has no important long term connections but pretty sure still had (or has) an army of followers that would shut on anyone shitting on her if the side community they are part of allows it.

Don't know if i'd call it long term but it's clear that there are circles or networks that try and lift each other up all the time. These were like sleeper cells until GG exploded and they saw their chance. It's basically just circle jerks that suddenly was brought to the public attention.

Still lying about that assistant, eh, John?
