Dear Brianna Wu,
I turned 21 today. For my birthday, the one and only thing I wanted was the Steam release of Revolution 60. My gateway to adulthood would not be through an alcoholic beverage, but rather by playing as the amazing, realistic, STUNNING AND BRAVE female characters you created. For weeks I counted down the days until my birthday, hoping and praying that Revolution 60 would be released on or before the date. I checked your Twitter religiously, combing through all of your posts in the hopes of getting more than a "coming soon!" note concerning Revolution 60.
April 24th, my birthday, ends in less than an hour in my time zone and I still don't have Revolution 60.
You have let me down, Brianna. In this confusing and exciting time when I am blossoming into womanhood, I hoped you and your characters would be there for me. After all, you have claimed (either directly or indirectly) to be a voice for all women everywhere. And I believed you, Brianna. I really did.
You have RUINED my 21st birthday. I'm crying into my birthday cake right now because I don't get to play as Holiday. Where else can I look to for strong, independent female role models in video games? According to you, nowhere. That's why I was really holding out for Revolution 60 to provide me the female role models I desperately need in this trying time, but I guess you have no intention of delivering. That's why tomorrow I'm going to drop out of college and become a stripper, in the hopes that I'll find a sugar daddy. You could have prevented this, Brianna. You have let down feminism so fucking hard and I want you to know that.
I literally can't even right now,
A very disappointed former fan and aspiring stripper
