Returning to an earlier topic: did any info about Wu's supposed panel at IAPP ever surface? As far as I recall, even Wu didn't try to pretend it was a big event this time.

Don't think anyone talked about it at all, not even the usual suspects that would publish an article when Wu takes a particularly feminist shit.Returning to an earlier topic: did any info about Wu's supposed panel at IAPP ever surface?

So I suppose were just ignoring Harley Quinn is more of an anti-hero in comic's these days. Or the whole Thor being a woman now. Or that Squirrel Girl is none of those things and has her her own comic now. Or the Batgirl known as Cassandra Cain. Or how SpiderGwen is now a thing and crazy popular.I don't think Wu is going to talk about having to eat crow in regards to Alison Rapp.

But I'm just a white cis male, with only a base knowledge of comics and yet just named all those characters, what do I know?
Didn't you read her last tweet? You aren't allowed to contradict her with facts. Her opinions and impressions are more important than mere facts.So I suppose were just ignoring Harley Quinn is more of an anti-hero in comic's these days. Or the whole Thor being a woman now.

Wu considers everything 'derailing' that isn't 'agreeing' with her.Whenever Wu says something to the effect of "please don't contradict me", I just imagine a scientist or outreach advocate speaking to an audience about some subject or another, making points up as they go along and tt the end of the talk ask everyone that attended to pelase not talk about the presentation with them and to not correct them on obvious bullshit.
If they had any sort of career in academia they would at the very least have a big stain on their reputation and get ridiculed by their peers.
Twitter had a purge recently and judging from Wu's reaction when it happened I think her main backchannel lapdog there got fired.Wouldn't be a huge surprise. For Wu it's all about the backchannel contacts. Using regular reporting functionalities would probably mean that the complaint gets routeted to some poor intern or disinterested staffer sitting on a low rung inside the company.
They would probably not care very much for someone being adamant that perfectly fine (if unflattering) images get deleted and just not do it. If you can get in contact with someome that oversees things (like an engineer that has some clout) you can sometimes get things moving just by threatening to raise a stink to your 50k+ followers.
I think it may be likely that someone Wu knows that worked at Twitter quit and fled to greener pastures.

Just curious, but what programming languages does John "Software Engineer" Flynt claim to be proficient in?
Microwave buttons.
Last summer, she answered a couple of reader questions on Slashdot. This was one of those she deigned to reply to:Just curious, but what programming languages does John "Software Engineer" Flynt claim to be proficient in?
Her answer (emphasis mine):Rick in China said:I'm interested in what development languages you excel in and how you mastered them - as head of development for a gaming company, I think that's my first question. Follow-up side-points would be when you transitioned from journalist to game developer, and why game development? Was it related to some of the 'sparks' and 'movements' by some other females 'in the gaming community' - and seen as an easy way to jump on a bandwagon that was clearly going to make waves? Journalist to developer just seems like a very strange transition to me, so I'm curious about the particulars. Do you have a github account where you publish some of your code?
Make of that what you will.Brianna Wu said:I’ve had many jobs over the course of my life. I’ve worked in politics and well as media. Both have been very helpful backgrounds for me in running a studio, which is a very political job. One of my greatest frustrations as a developer is that I don’t get to spend as much time doing gamedev as I used to. The truth is, I can hire another engineer - but I can’t hire someone to replace me.
I feel like my entire life has prepared me for this moment. There’s very little I would change about the choices that brought me to this point.
I can’t help but read your question and feel like you might not have the best of intentions. I read it as you are feel that I need to prove to you that I’m a legit developer. I think my record as someone whose first game won several game of the year awards speaks for itself. I think my two popular shows on Relay.FM where I am an industry analyst on technical issues speaks for itself.
I do have code up on Github, but like many women developers - it’s under a gender-neutral pseudonym, because I know it will be torn to pieces if it’s not. I once wrote a joke on Twitter with pseudocode, written to be readable for non-developers - and received a litany of sexist accusations and code critique.
There is an unconscious bias that men are assumed competent until proven otherwise, and women are assumed incompetent until proven otherwise. My track record of success speaks for itself.
"Sending swarms after people"Don't think anyone talked about it at all, not even the usual suspects that would publish an article when Wu takes a particularly feminist shit.
Wu's also still claiming to be a software engineer and admitted to being a harasser.

Distorting facts? Now who would be guilty of doing such a horrible thing to TRUE and HONEST CIS WOMAN Brianna Wu???
