I can see why he's into soylent. The only people I've ever seen rave about it are programmers that think they need to work 24/7 and that stopping for silly human needs like food is a weakness. It let's him pretend he's one of them, even though I think we all know he doesn't do any of the actual work his "game."
 
Holy fuck how hard is it to eat a balanced diet Wu?
A balanced diet was invented by the patriarchy to control the eating habits of oppressed trans-poc-womyn.

And now that I've typed that out why do I get the feeling that she actually believes that?
 
Oh please tell me there's gonna be another round of 'shops! Please!!

When you've downed 60mg of adderall there is no point in trying to eat food that's enjoyable.

So Brianna put up a lengthy screed that she wasn't going to RavenCon because Gamergate:

Brianna Wu with Citations by Jaimas dijo:
This weekend, we are both invited to be guests of honor at RavenCon. Every time we’re asked to be GoHs at a convention, we consider it a huge responsibility. We take our work as guests seriously - both in representing the convention, and participating in programming in a way that is entertaining to attendees. Our long track record of professionalism speaks for itself.

The toll that the hate group Gamergate has taken on our family has been well documented in press, interviews and documentaries. Brianna has received 83 death threats in the last 8 months, and Gamergate regularly disrupts her speaking invitations at colleges. We’ve tried to stand firm to our beliefs and march forward.[1]

Sadly, the same reactionary anger has spread into the science fiction community with the hijacking of year’s Hugo awards, deliberately sabotaging them for bitter, regressive political purposes. Many of the forums that orchestrate harassment against Brianna and other women in the game industry have avowed supporters of the Hugo hijacking, many of whom participated in the voting and strongly support Vox Day.[2]

What makes RavenCon particularly uncomfortable for us is that a number of those attending directly orchestrated or benefited from the hijacking. We’ve heard numbers as high as six.[3]

Frank Wu has won four Hugo awards. They are near and dear to our family. And we agree with John Scalzi, Connie Willis, George R. R. Martin and others about the travesty this has been. The hijackers have contempt for the awards while also desperately wanting the legitimacy they feel it would grant them.[4]

To put it bluntly, attending this con makes us tremendously uncomfortable. But we agreed to attend, long before Gamergate, and we will follow through with that professional commitment.

Neither of us wish to discuss the Hugo hijacking with any person responsible for this atrocious action. Both of us would consider it a professional courtesy if you didn’t attend Brianna’s Gamergate panel tomorrow.[5]

Let’s all enjoy what brings us together, rather than focus on what brings us apart. There’s plenty that science fiction fans can agree on. We hope we can all enjoy RavenCon.

Frank and Brianna Wu

1. Brianna Wu has posted none of these except for ones like the Something Awful False Flags, Jace Connors, and similar cases of obvious trollbait. Draw your own conclusions.

2. The Sad Puppies Campaign keeps being referred to as a Hijacking. It's essentially the Hugo's own awards system and own principles and leveraging it against a clique of people who've had a deadlock on it for years. You know, the very reason Frank Wu won awards in it in the first place. I suppose that the Chris-Chan analogies wouldn't be complete without Wu having her very own Adam Stackhouse moment, so fair enough. As for Vox Day? Total shithead, but people will sooner tolerate them than the ongoing clique domination.

3. Oh noes. People of differing ideologies from my own might attend. That's problematic.

4. No one fucking cares how many Hugo Awards Frank's won, they've been a joke for about 5 years. Also, you do know that George RR Martin called out Requires Hate and similar asshats from your clique, don't you, Wu? Just asking.

5. GAMERGATE AND SAD PUPPIES ARE TOTES THE SAME SHUT UP. She's continuing to conflate the two despite zero evidence.
 
The two words which triggered Brianna Wu

[MEDIA=twitter]591305012325851139[/MEDIA]

I'm pretty sure the Black Widow codename refers to a pretty specific skill with the opposite sex.

I mean, the character is more than that, obviously as she has a decades of stories. But lets not pretend is not or never was a character with strong sexual undertones.
 
Why was Brianna Wu invited to speak at RavenCon back before GamerGate, when she wasn't even important enough to get a wiki page?
From my experience you end up speaking at cons when you're not Somebody when you're friends with a person who runs it.
But getting places via connections rather than merit is totally not in character with any of these yokels, and obviously couldn't have any thing to do with this.

Her entire career and status is based in having connections. Connection that she ends burning or wasting in creating cheap drama, but they were there. Her lack of talent and mantaing her status are what is becoming more and more evident as even antigg question her.

Ralph of The Ralph Retort apparently went to Ravencon today to Wu's Gamergate panel, and this is what he says happened:

Anyway, back to the story. Wu starts loudly bitching about them not having a DVI connection. Check your DVI privilege, bitch. But after that, she was looking hard at her phone. She then surveyed the room and locked eyes with me. She came up to my table and said “Are you the one who sent this?” I didn’t event try to deny it. I said yes, I was.

She looked at me with total rage, like she wanted to take a fucking swing at me. I guess I would hate me too, if I were her, considering how bad I’ve fucked her up here on the site.
She’s said “Get him out of here.” Then some goony bearded white dude came over and said I needed to leave. I asked him why, and he said, “Because she wants you gone.” Wow. Great fucking convention you fucks are running there. You throw people out for taking a picture of a panelist? Total trash. The convention kinda sucks anyway, so I would advise anyone else to sit out future RavenCons. They’re boring and they throw out peaceful dissenters. It’s not worth your time.

They didn’t throw me out of the entire convention. But I left anyway, because as I said, it sucked. The Twitter reaction is amazing, and I will come back and put the top stuff down below this account when I get home. I’m still at the Arby’s across the street, and am about to drive home. What a memorable evening, all thanks to Big Baby Wu. I’ll try to update this with audio later as well, it the backup recorders came thru
 
How much longer are we going to have to wait for R60 to come out on Steam? Sheesh, at this rate, Gloria Tesch's movie might be released first.
 
But after that, she was looking hard at her phone. She then surveyed the room and locked eyes with me.
Jesus, she really can't quit Twitter for five minutes, even when she's supposed to be setting up for a presentation.
 
Frank Wu just following around Brianna like a lost dog, looking somewhat confused and frightened.

Edit: Also Brianna is apparently STILL showing the Jace video at panels.
