Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

The alcohol content is minimal. You'd need to drink 4-8 doses for the alcohol to do anything to you. At that point, the DXM would be hitting you harder than anything else.

 

[GleamingTheQ-Bert]

Jesus Christ guys, she made a poor attempt at a joke and suddenly you're trying to paint her as a legitimate Cybil case.

There's literally no difference between Brianna Wu and John Flynt besides the name and what their genitals look like. Brianna is pulling the same "sand n*gger" shit she was so fond of as John Flynt, only the subject of her ire has changed. The only reason why Brianna is this intent on hiding her past is because of how many people she fucked over and the controversial nature of her behavior. Revealing her past would mean revealing her lies, and even the most incompetent con artist knows to keep that shit secret.

Naw, not a legit Cybil, you missed the point. It's more the idea that her jokes, her self-congratulatory posturing, etc. constantly refer to herself in the 3rd person. Think about this a second: do people you know, even celebs, refer to themselves this way?

Would Bill Murray, on his twitter, say: "Boy, Bill Murray's pretty sick, you guys! Buy the Ghostbusters Blue Ray 2 pack for Christmas! Oh, btw, call me Billerrific from now on! Excuse me while I swim in more NyQuil!"?

I don't think so. Of course Flynt and Wu are one and the same, the point is the nature of that one individual, his ideas, his humor, his aggressiveness, etc, leads us all to the realization that the Flynt psychology is the most interesting part of this unusual clown. Do you think Wu sees himself as the same person he was when he went by the Flynt? I would bet against it. You don't "say goodbye" to an identity in such a protracted way if its all some con. What did Wu stand to gain from that LJ post, years before GG? No, Wu's not crazy, but identity issues? I'd say that's a pretty sure thing.

Do you refer to yourself in the abstract? "Humorously" rename yourself a few times per season?

Frankly, It's not even about hiding Flynt from the world, because given all we know about Wu, I imagine he'd do much the same even if he was still going by the name John....."Johnzilla"......."Johnny Flynt, destroyer of worlds"......."J. Peggle Flynt", etc.

Flynt has identity issues, period. I'm sure all transsexuals do, to some extent, but Flynt's problems seem more pervasive and, given his soapbox, more able to influence a larger number of folks. That's why any of this is worth discussing.

I think at this point Wu just wants to forget that he's Wu.

...how fucked up on cold medicine is Wu, exactly?

Fixed that.

Hah, wow. OK. She has absolutely no self awareness whatsoever.

If you get a degree, that's a thing you'll always have. It's the key to getting past the first layer of filters, the clueless HR and recruiter guys who know nothing except the big list of requirements they have on paper. On the other hand, if you start an indie games company, there's a damn good chance you'll fail. Probably a 95% chance or worse. Then you'll have absolutely nothing. You'll be starting from scratch, emailing your CV cold to companies who'll have difficulty looking beyond your lack of education, because they also have CVs from people equally as smart who also have the requisite qualification.

If she actually looked at her own example, both of her business ventures never turned a profit and her quest for venture capital is a non-starter, she'd realise that what she's recommending is insane as general advice. She spent ten years attempting to get a degree, then seamlessly transitioned from one pot of money to another to keep her afloat and prop up her pretence of being a hotshot business woman. Most people aren't that lucky.

And what does she have now? One failed game, a husband who has finally put his foot down and said no more money for her delusions, a shell of company with only one real person on the payroll, a dwindling patreon to pay for it based purely on e-begging rather than providing a service, and a friend she's busy screwing over with promises of work in her new, even greater delusion. She has no useful skills that she could fall back on, no conceivable way to take the money from R60 and build the next game on the back of that, for that she'd need another half a million dollars for contractors and voice acting. She doesn't even really have a decent framework to build a new game on, since they did the whole thing as a once-off, not building a proper engine.

So that's where her advice has gotten her. As soon as reality finally catches up on her and her company shuts up shop, even her punditry related career options will dry up. Who, after all, will want to hear from an unemployed twitter addict about the latest in Apple toys? Her professional victim career is already over. This is the life she's actually recommending to kids just leaving high school. I hope for their sake they're all good looking, because they'll be needing some sugar daddies who went to university to look after them.

Women who are sick tend to suffer quietly.

Men who are ill must announce this fact to the world.

I feel sorry for anyone that takes her advice.

Edit:
Oh, this is good, John.

Spoiler: warning: abundant mansplaining from Flynt

Ver archivo adjunto 64565

You sure like kissing the rich right-wing white cishet tech dudebro butts of Marc Anddreessen and Jason Calacanis, John. Give that Holly woman a good mansplaining, big guy.

Bonus points for tossing in bald-faced lies about "often getting resumes from kids that have paid $100K for a degree" and viciously attacking her by calling her writing "personal attacks", "yelling", and "anti-intellectual". Double bonus points for inserting the Twitter usernames of Andreeessen and Calacanis into the thread, in the vain hope that rich Marc-senpai and rich Jason-senpai will notice you and give you $23 million for your scam.

Nothing more "feminist" than a white, privileged male like yourself, John, letting an actual female feminist really have it - especially as you white knight for super-rich white, privileged, right-wing males.

It's pretty clear that "Godzilla of Feminists" means that you like smashing feminism to pieces with your aggressively misogynistic behavior towards real feminists.

It should be noted that most indie game company owners prolly have a degree.

The higher cost of tuition has caused a reevaluation of the worth of a college degree. However most conclude that its still worth it especially if you go to a state or community college.

 

[millais]

Wu just jelly he flunked out of college the first time and took more than four years to eventually get that useless journalism degree.

 

[Norvic]

Wu just jelly he flunked out of college the first time and took more than four years to eventually get that useless journalism degree.

But she doesn't have more than 100K in debt because Daddy paid the bills. Why can't everyone just get Daddy to pay for university? Problem solved.

 

[ChuckSlaughter]

A community college degree in a tech subject costs almost nothing and can pay like 60k right out of school, what a fucking idiot.
Like most people's games blow dick and then they give up and get a real job.... and these are people who have worked in business programming and went to school.

 

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

If anyone is willing to take advice from someone who runs a game studio that hemorrhages money and only has one game (which hasn't made a single dime in profit) then.. yeah, they deserve what happens.

 

[tepid]

Wu is just lying as usual about "walking" pneumonia.

If you have pneumonia and aren't treating it you are basically gambling with death.

Wu just has a fucking cold, at most.

Sounds like a classic case of Man Flu to me

 

[ActualKiwi]

Sounds like a classic case of Man Wu to me

FTFY

 

[Peace and Harmony]

There is seriously no statement of privilege greater than someone telling others to not to go college. For people stuck in the lowest stratum of American society, enrolling in community college and working towards a four-year degree is one of the most critically important steps in breaking the vicious cycle of poverty.

I started typing more but realised that I was commenting on the remarks of a brain-addled tranny whose "indie game studio" is a colossal failure by every definition. Where's the fucking game, John?

 

[Furina]

I kinda-sorta see what Brianna is getting at but I think she's an idiot and said it wrong. You should absolutely go to university. Even if you do a degree that is unrelated to your preferred career, it's important to show an employer that you can learn and succeed in your chosen field. That, in my opinion, is the purpose of a degree. Also, uni is a really good place to make contacts who can help you further down the line. I hate to say it, but knowing people helps.
Now, with video games, you can enter the industry via a portfolio. If you can slap together a cool little game while studying history or journalism or whatever, then opportunities will open up to you. It's not just about having the right qualifications, its about standing out and proving you are an asset to be invested in. I think this is what Brianna is getting at. She's saying that if you make a startup and it succeeds, then you're probably going to move on to better things. Brianna seems to have forgotten that no everyone has a cash cow to milk for all it's worth and can jump ship with the rest of the rats when things go bad.

Portal started out as tech demo by a group of uni students and now they're working for Valve.
I knew a guy who made a really dumb but funny video for YouTube and got job offers from American animation studios. The guy was working as a mechanic but he made a silly video and that opened doors.
It's all well and good having a fancy bit of paper, but if you can prove yourself in the real world you are leagues above any graduate.

Go to college, kids. It'll do you good. Just don't do Gender or Fat Studies, FFS.

Because that worked out so fucking well for you, hasn't it? Brianna Wu is such a big name in gaming, right? Giant SpaceKat is up there with Bungie, Team Ninja, Wayforward and the like, right?
Wu's like Andrew Dobson (except the fact that Dobson actually finished college, unlike Wu.) where they're bitter at the world because they didn't get to live out their big dreams and aren't the center of attention. Dobby isn't publishing his lesbian fanfics at Disney and Rev60 is a failed indie game. So, they whine on Twitter and try to get controversy for asspats.
