Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[MiloWuCollusion]

Well, those types of disks are injection molded...

Then again, she is an Apple fan that needs to buy every single new device, so I doubt she cares about labor issues.

Stupid game reviewers with their opinions and not immediately agreeing with everything that John says

Shut up, Wu, nobody liked gender-swapped Nathan Drake and her team of Planeteers. Even fans of new Tomb Raider call the story shit.

Is Frank Wu gay? I know he was a wife beater, but did he have any history of liking / dating men? Could it have been a lifelong secret fantasy? Cuz when I was wasting my time trying to understand the genesis of the Wu relationship / marriage, I remember reading (don't 'member where, exactly) that Frank had known John pre-op, had known "Brianna" before "she" came into being.

Maybe he had a fantasy of forcing a dude to become a woman.

John, you really have to understand that someone else receiving an email is not the same as you receiving an email.

Spoiler: The email, the email, what, what, the email

Why did he end up with Wu?

My guesses:
- "Saving" Brianna by helping her through the transition appealed to his inner white knight
- As a Ph.D in a technical profession he feels like his perfect romantic match is a genius. Brianna constantly presents herself as one and Frank is too socially inept to see through it.
- It could just be as simple as him wanting someone who's "one of the guys" in terms of interests. Brianna is after all pretty much a Silicon Valley dudebro at heart.
- Or yes, it could be some weird fetish for transsexuals, tall women, being cucked, or whatever else.

From John's bio for Lady Pitch Night:

Worldwide press has called her the “Games Boss.”
​

Time to fire up the twice-patented* John Flynt Lie Counter.

1. worldwide - one paper in one country
2. press - one outlet, not multiple
3. her - him
4. games - two lies in one; John has overseen development of one (not multiple) overstuffed QT story
5. the - there are many people in the world who run game studios; John isn't one of them
6. boss - another twofer; John is alone and doesn't do any work

Congratulations, John. The singularity has been reached. You've now achieved the coveted one lie per word ratio of a world-champion compulsive liar. In fact, deliberately misrepresenting the meaning of the Irish use of "boss" should count as the ninth lie. More than one lie per word.

John has repeated these eight or nine lies in the Guardian and Mary Sue.

Pure trolling on John's part.

Doesn't explain John, though. That's not a woman. In any sense of the term.

My guess is he's a closet case in denial and getting Johnboy Brianna is his way of living out his gay fantasies while still making an (failed) attempt to keep appearances.

There is something we don't know here.

He was well-known as loser and rube among those who knew of him before Brianna came around.

Just imagine that in some bizarro universe, Rev 60 actually did get a console release. Now, imagine being a kid on Christmas morning, opening up your presents, and receiving it. Brianna Wu is essentially the Grinch.

I wonder how actual women game designers feel about Wu being the "Games Boss"

Worse yet, imagine a universe where Rev 60 is the greatest game ever made, developed by the proud MALE game dev, Brian Wu.

I strongly believe in the multiverse theory, and I find this hard to believe.

I had my money on this really, but then a lot of their interests don't match, Frank isn't into computers/Apple hardware/bikes/anime figurines and video games. They both like Star Trek I suppose?

Yeah, they were both into the sci-fi convention scene, which is a rather specialized interest. And for the love of God, she even pretended to like those abysmal fanzines Frank was fond of contributing to.

My first thought was ET for the Atari, along with its designated landfill.

What I wanna know, though:

Where did Flynt get the idea that he was an artist? That drawing competition with him, Frank, and the two others on stage showcases art from Flynt that is straight embarrassing, and the comic strip is not only unfunny, the art is shit.

Brianna hasn't evolved, as witnessed by the oft-remarked upon Holiday testicular updo's similarity to the aformentioned comic's heroine's coif, etc., etc.

Wu is nobody's idea of a visual artist, by any stretch.

Who put this notion inside Crazy J, where it festered into "Brianna Wu, master of Unreal 3" 10 years later?
