Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Sweet and Savoury]

Yeah and I think all Wu did was come up with the character designs and some modeling on a spaceship. I don't even think she finished the ship herself.

The game might be terrible but it does run. So my guess is Wu didn't do any of the coding. Honestly he sounds more like a typical supervisor type who claims all the credit for the work of others.

 

[José Mourinho]

She actually managed to not post about GamerGate for a day so far. Keep up the good work, Wu!

​

So R60 was made by five people?

Dust: An Elysium Tail, Banished, Papers, Please (and a metric shit-ton more games) were made by one person.

There's also Minecraft (debatable), Spelunky, Gunpoint, Cave Story, Beat Hazard, VVVVV (debatable) and others too.

Sounds like you've had a pretty fucking privileged life then, Wu.

I kind of agree with that last tweet, the you are with us or against us mentality needs to go.

Of course, it's an acceptable mindset to have in regards to GamerGate.

Dude what the fuck, you are either WITH WU or WITH US there is NO MIDDLE GROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paid for a sex change with trust fund money. So yeah.

Yeah but instead of treating people as individuals I bet Wu would rather everyone just subscribe to the SJW groupthink.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

Sadly this is the way mankind is. We are by nature social creatures who crave group acceptance. The Them or Us attitude is built in pretty deep.

Maybe someday we will grow up but if current social media trends are an indicator it won't be for a loooong time.

i like that wu is so "lol go fuck urself" toward any kind of anti-capitalism despite, you know, how so much inequality overlaps with classism/wealth disparity/the cycle of poverty.

she's all too willing (and unapologetic about it!) to cling with all ten fingers to her financial privilege.

not to mention trans women annoy the shit out of me when they can't admit to benefiting from male privilege pre-, ongoing, and even post-transition, but they loooove to argue that's not the case. you will never convince me that gender dysphoria nullifies the advantages that come with being raised male in society, however subtle or overt those advantages are.

 

[José Mourinho]

She went back to posting about GG on Twitter lol. Reset the timer!

[Charlie's Chaplin]

Funny that her gender identity isn't mentioned on her Wikipedia page...

It cracks me up how Brianna spends so much time whining about how she NEEDS to work on her games and how she's a SERIOUS GAME DESIGNER, and yet she spends literal hours browsing and posting inane bullshit on Twitter. I keep getting the impression that Brianna is just your average procrastinator, just way more dramatic than most. And instead of using her smarts to keep coming up with excuses (I should know, I'm such a procrastinator that I was actually born past my due date), she keeps falling back on the "WAAAAH, GAMERGATE" and "WELL, I DON'T HAVE A PR MANAGER!!!" excuses.

What gets me is that Brianna doesn't even necessarily need a PR Manager. Despite all the fuss she's made about GamerGate, Wu is not a major figure even within her chosen field. She's not flooded with press interviews and such to the point where she needs someone to screen her public interactions because she either doesn't have the time to go through the volume herself or wishes to maintain a certain image that she - again - lacks the time to properly manage. Wu can do both of these with ease, but it makes her seem and feel important to claim that the fault lies outside of her control. It's like watching the queen diva of a community theater group gloat about her own questionable "talents".

"Hark, my fellow gamers. Woe is me for I have been beset by the curse of popularity! Every waking moment is spent in service to its cruel demands. Each night I pray that I am not afflicted with yet another GOTY award, but alas I rise and find that yet again the vile curse has struck! Such praise! Such devotion! I lack the means to curtail it all, and yet no one doth seek to share the burden. My only wish is to fashion more games for thee to play, but until the hunger of my popularity is sated my greatness shall be obstructed by its frothing maw." /scene

To be honest, I think that Wu needs somebody to rap her on the knuckles with a ruler every time she tries to use any form of social media.

I mean, if you were in the games industry, would you take Giant Spacekat seriously based on Wu's unprofessional antics?

 

[ChuckSlaughter]

Hahaha no dude she's a developer and software engineer remember? If i remember right one of the chicks there does most of the coding.... whoever it is they're by far the most important member of her team, rarely ever mentioned because it might reveal that wu's use of the word developer is misleading. How many freaking artists do they need? poor girl must be working her ass off.

Besides she legitimately can claim the title boss where most savvy devs end up anyhow... why does she want to be a developer so bad?

Wow, seriously? Only one girl does most of the coding and she doesn't get any recognition because giving her any would take attention away from Brianna? Seriously, Wu must be the worst boss ever.

She's the worst all kinds of things.

 

[Trombonista]

I bet she never orders them pizza on all-nighters because she has her Soylent and thus doesn't need to order food.
