I’m sure they’ve looked him up, they just understand no legit outlet could publish such a deep dive.

Some might remember Grantland doing a story on an MTF inventor a few years back, one with just as fabricated and ludicrous backstory as John’s. The troon killed himself shortly before the article was published and GL got holy hell rained upon them, even though the piece was exposing an absolute quack and con artist who had bilked investors out of thousands for his shitty putter.

That was a great article and there were some red flags similar to Wu's.
But it wasn’t just the science behind Dr. V’s putter that intrigued McCord. It was the scientist, too. For starters, she was a woman in the male-dominated golf industry. She also cut a striking figure, standing 6-foot-3 with a shock of red hair. What’s more, she was a Vanderbilt, some link in the long line descending from Cornelius, the original Commodore. All of this would have been more than enough to capture McCord’s attention, but what he found most remarkable about Dr. V was where she had been before she started making putters. She told him she had spent most of her career as a private contractor for the Department of Defense, working on projects so secretive — including the stealth bomber — that her name wasn’t listed on government records. “Isn’t that about as clandestine as you can get?” McCord asked me.
...
McCord also had an explanation for Dr. V’s strange vocabulary: This was just how scientists talked.
...
The pitch of her voice was strange, too — deeper than expected. She said it was the result of a collapsed larynx she had suffered in a car crash.

I'm surprised whatever fucking idiot wrote this story hasn't lost all their money to a series of Nigerian princes. How fucking dumb do you have to be to believe this oldest line in the book?

Both the article and the "What Grantland got wrong" apologia linked within it basically encapsulates the whole Wu saga:

Normies: "This person is crazy and full of shit, they're not even a tenth as smart as they think they are, and after digging into her background like any reporter worth their salt would do, I discovered that everything about them is a fabrication. Oh, and anyone with eyes can tell you that they were born with a dick"

NPCS: "OMG YOU NAZI WHY CAN'T YOU CIS SCUM LET THIS STUNNING AND BRAVE WOMAN CONTINUE TO GRIFT PEOPLE????/?//?///"

Essentially, there was no way to expose " Dr. V" without revealing their past, and even if the reporter had left out that tidbit, someone else would have connected the dots anyway.

Also - seriously? "ESSAY ANNE VANDERBILT"? why can't troons just pick names that don't scream "I HAVE FANTASIZED MYSELF AS A PRINCESS SINCE I WAS FIVE!" or not tie themselves to a lineage that could easily be debunked?

Anyway, it is clear that much like John, "Dr. V" was someone who trooned out so they construct the fairytale life they always thought they deserved (degrees and actual knowledge be damned), and use that troon status as shield so people don't go poking around for the truth.

Some of the smarter journalists might fear that it would look like they kicked down a retarded kids sand castle if they exposed Wu. The lazy clickbaiters might see him as a gimme and have no desire to expose him because what wouldn't Wu, someone with a tiny bit of name recognition, be willing to give an expert opinion on if they promised to put in print or on TV?

But the thing is it’s supposed to stop being “kicking down” when the exceptional kid starts grifting real money from real people. And once money gets involved, when every single thing about the person is so clearly a lie, sane ethical journalists would and should feel an obligation to expose that to public scrutiny.

Haven't seen this posted yet - John makes an appearance in a TVNZ "exposé" into 8chan and its links to the Christchurch shootings. How do these fucking tards take this tranny ghoul seriously?! Lurching freak at 05:17.

Watching it now (by which I mean skipping through it)
"And as a high profile video game developer who's also a woman...."
Yeah okay New Zealand, you're journalists.

Jesus Christ what is it with the American liberal left and children's films? Say what you like about the left, but at least in Europe you're required to have a strong intellectual and philosophical background if you want to be taken seriously, and you definitely can't get away with using cringe inducing Star Wars, Harry Potter or Marvel metaphors.

Why would a journalist want to waste their time "exposing" a third-tier congressional candidate more than a year a way from an election? What editor, when presented with such a story proposal, would say "that's a great idea!"? These stories don't exist because Wu is irrelevant and always will be.

Stories won't be written unless Lynch dumps their oppo research into the hands of a journalist, and he has no reason to do so. He'd just raise Wu's profile and start a "wow, Lynch must be worried this cycle" rumor mill if he did so.

Finished skipping though, Wu is one of the main speakers here and appears more often than hotwheels. Most of the content is the usual stuff about gamergate and repeating that one totally real death threat about cutting off frank's dick and fucking brianna with it but there's some noteworthy stuff here"


On what he could do differently in regards to the FBI taking GAMERGATE seriously:
"Should I have sued the people I could identify from 8chan in civil court
and all those things are going through your mind (starts tearing up)
and I want to tell you you, I am sorry, America should have done more
you're right to be upset about this."


on the "young men" from 8chan
"They can't look you in the eye..."
well yeah, they're worried you'll hypnotize them with your nosferatu stare


Wu gets the closing statement of the documentary too:
""And just to get really real with you, there is a rise in the chance I will be a victim of a shooting here in the united states, like it's a non-trivial event there"
"And yet you speak about this with some resignation"
"You have to, this is MY ethical responsibility, I can't sit back and do nothing, I'm not numbed)?) to this, I'm hurt deeply by this, my heart is broken. And I promise you the christchurch killing..... it's something that's going to live in my heart forever, and the hearts of many others. We are going to address this, you have my word we're going to fix this"

Sadly there was no reference to Deagle Nation.

Some other notable quotes from the documentary:
39:31 "So how many New Zealanders are on 8chan?"

There's a guy with a robot voice and I wasn't paying attention when they said who he was supposed to be but around 40:36 he asks "Why hasn't the New Zealand government issued international arrest warrants on these people, on those who are running that site?"

Also Paula Penfold the person behind this seems to be a real woman, which surprised me.

Maybe it's botox.


Also hotwheels got fucking fat, damn.

Never in a million years would John assent to a townhall type speaking format.
 
I see we have the return of John's Mississippi Burning childhood. Not a word of what she said is correct, Mississippi is chock-full of black politicians. No one blames Mississippi's problems on the blacks, although God knows they're a benighted and fucked-up people. Mississippi blacks are what you get when all the smart ones move away, generation after generation since the Civil War. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if most modern Miss. blacks actually rate below africans on intelligence scales. But no one blames them for it. And for certain sure nobody "blames the state's problems on black people not grateful enough". What the fuck does that even mean?

Anyway, what does he know about blacks in Mississippi? He's lived his whole life in Mississippi in either college towns or his parents' rich suburb in Hattiesburg. The only Mississippi negroes ol' Johnny ever interacted with on a regular basis were probably his parents' maids.

“It’s so disconcerting to see Trump remake the country in the image of Mississippi.”
:stress:

Mississippi Demographics: 36.6% Black
Massachusetts Demographics: 8.8% Black
And hey just for shits, Colorado Demographics: 4% Black

Mississippi, home state of Medgar Evers, Ida B Wells, Oprah, James Earl Jones, Jerry Rice, and Richard Wright. But please John, continue to tell us why the state with highest black population in the country is such a shithole.
