You deserve 5,000 of every positive rating for this post. In fact, I'd wager that you could piss off a lot of the right people with this one. This is the best Christmas gift of all.

EDIT: Pretty cool to see that you're not developing your game

Golly Gee, he really uses the eyelash-motorbike pic for everything, huh?

Kind of like the low quality MySpace angled pic on her Patreon, I think Wu uses it because it's one of her few pics where she looks somewhat feminine. Granted, it's because she had giant aviator glasses on, the picture being taken at a distance, her clothes and posture kind of hide the man gut, and her hair is brushed to hide the balding spot.

Also, she probably believes that pic makes her seem like a badass.
 
Currently a former mod at r/GamerGhazi (an SJW subreddit in which Brianna was a mod before being ousted) is having an AMA at r/KotakuInAction (GG's main subreddit). I asked him what does he think about Brianna, here's his response:

brianna was annoying as fuck, I hated her presence on the sub. Im glad we tossed her. She acted like she owned the place.

As you can see from the link I've also wanted to see whether or not he will acknowledge Wu being trans but he decided to humorously play it dumb.
 
If Hermione's race is ambiguous, then why the fuck should we care that the actress who is going to play her is black

J.K. Rowling said she considered Hermonie and Harry white but doesn't care how you envision the characters as long as you enjoy the story.

Wu DEMANDS you accept her headcanon from a Buzzfeed article
 
I thought Wu would like Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. Since they're both stupid white guys who disowned their parents, adopt a new name and be someone they're not. Also they both got their ass handed to them by a woman.

She's more of a Luke fan because she can identify with having an appendage sliced off.
 
I recently listened to the audiobook of "City of Stairs" (really good book, btw.) Since I am -and everyone else is- usually busy doing something else when listening to a audiobook, hearing a book is far more selective than reading it.

I didn't even notice that the main character had a skin "like chocolate" until later in the book. Although it I possible that this was the first time it came up. So I did what I always do when I read a book and a character is suddenly described differently: I blinked twice, then adjusted my mental image of that character. I do the same, if the author suddenly mentions that a character has a beard, or is short, or has boobs the size of prize pumpkins or whatever. Point is, it usually doesn't matter how a character looks like in a book, you are free to imagine what you like, and you will most likely choose mental images you are familiar with. The area I come from and my personal environment are white as fuck, so just because you imagine a character differently doesn't make you a racist or perjudiced.

this must have been a confusing moment for Dobson, upset because his idol is getting snappy with him, but aroused because a powerful shim is putting him in his place and that must poke at his femdom fetish.

Dob's overinflated ego is the one thing he doesn't want to see popped.

On another note, Brianna's tirades about overentitled nerdboys goes above and beyond normal projection. Or even Imax. She's putting out enough lumens to projection map the entire surface of the Empire State Building with that stuff. In the daytime.

She looked brown because she went on vacation in a sunny area, Wu. Stop taking passages out of context.

You don't even have to have read the book to figure that out, it's right there in the paragraph quoted. Ginger people's freckles stand out more after a period in strong sunlight and the mention of an ice cream parlour.... In fact it directly contradicts Wu's point, since you wouldn't say a black person looked "very brown" unless you wanted your teeth kicked in.

You really have that teen boy on the ropes, John. It's very "professional" for delusional, mendacious adults to gang up on powerless children. That's not violent or immature in the least.

For starters, we can all tell how serious you are about this character by the way you misspell her name three times so far: here, here, and here. It's "Hermione", not "Hermoine". It takes real "talent" to consistently misspell a name you're feigning expertise about and is repeatedly spelled correctly right in front of your snarl-ticcing face.

Then there's this, from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", Chapter 21:
hermione_white_face.png


"Hermoine (sic) was never white."
- John Flynt, racist middle-aged white man pretending to be a woman, a desperate internet troll who fights with children for attention

"Hermione's white face was sticking out from behind a tree."
- J.K. Rowling, actual woman, world-famous author, billionaire, definitive source on her own writing

Social Justice Handbook clearly states you can't assume race based on someone's skin color. For all we know, Hermione may be transracial, if we're really getting all PC on this shit.

Or JK really doesn't care what race someone sees Hermione as, as long as they identify with her, because children's books aren't meant to be PC beyond belief.

It's been years since I read Prisoner of Azkaban, but I'm pretty sure the implication was that she & Ron had just gotten back from from summer vacation at the beach or something, hence why Ron was also freckly-er than usual.

But since Wu never leaves her house office, she probably forgot that prolonged exposure to the sun causes things like tanning & freckling.

EDIT: Harry Potter also has several canonically black supporting characters. & Harry's initial love interest was an Asian girl (Cho Chang). There was also a pair of Indian sisters in Ravenclaw that were friends of Harry, if memory serves.
Basically, diversity in the Potterverse was never an issue, & surprise surprise, Wu doesn't know what she's talking about.

EDIT x2 COMBO: Didn't see I was beaten to the punch by @SteelPlatedHeart & @Norvic , derp.

I think Hermione is whatever color the reader likes. But also without a doubt, trans.
