Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Trickie]

Well that's not fair. I never said anything transphobic about Wu.

I don't think they were referring directly to you, it seemed more like something addressed to the thread in general, as in to those who have posted and might post in it in the future, not necessarily accusing anyone of saying transphobic things, but just asking them not to bring it in here if they were planning to.

 

[WWWWolf]

Well that's not fair. I never said anything transphobic about Wu. I said I didn't like her game and that I thought it was poorly made. This is one of the big issues with the SJW mindset. Wu being trans has absolutely nothing to do with her being a good programmer. Being trans does not make her above reproach. Criticizing her on the merits of her work is not transphobic.

OK, sorry, clarification - that bit wasn't aimed at you, just the people (in GG in general) who are bringing it up her gender issues as if that was in any way relevant. It's just part of the whole personal attack barrage that's always going on when GG targets are discussed.
Edit: goddamn my prose is terrible, I shouldn't have drunk like a bucket of coffee. Right. Let's sleep it off.

and the effort a bunch of transphobic GGers have put into outing her has been interesting

With all due respect to transsexual people, but isn't outing Brianna Wu as FtM kinda like outing Liberace?

Anyway... don't really know what to say to this thread. Not a fan of Brianna Wu and she seemed whiny and annoying in her Pakman interview. But yeah, finding out about her past life isn't exactly Sherlock Holmes territory and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell she used to go through life as a dude.

I really wish all the GamerGate sperging would just stay in one thread. That thread is bad enough as it is without the same old shit being re-hashed someplace else.

Well, I think there's a difference between clocking a transsexual (i.e. guessing that a person is trans by looking at physical traits that indicate what their biological sex might be, but not necessarily having proof for it) and digging up obscure forum posts made by people they knew and old photos of them. One is quite a bit more involved than the other.

(Also, in this particular instance it would be MtF, not FtM-- nitpicky, I know...)

I finally have a reason to post this

Satan speaks the truth.

I don't really care if this gets merged into the GG tread, but the fact she's crying about ableism and using an autistic for a shitty meme condemning other people is pretty funny.

Was Wu the blonde guy in Weird Science?

 

[DrChristianTroy]

Anthony Michael Hall? Guy from the crappier TV version? Either way that looks nothing like the dude.

This is why he gets mocked for his gender reassignment. Not because he's trans, but he's a trans asshole. A tranhole, so to speak.

I barley remembered Revolution 60 some time before Gamer Gate.
I laughed it off as some amateur attempt to rip off Mass effect or something.
The Graphics are like something out of an old CGI cartoon and the "gameplay" looks like some thing you would see in a tech demo for Touch screens.

 

[wheat pasta]

Wow, she hates The Binding of Isaac? Burn the witch.

 

[Linako 2.0]

if the game is realeased or once it gets released, I need to live stream it or something

Edit: The game is already out for i-phone
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/revolution-60/id742869081?mt=8
this game gets an automatic 0/10 for being an iOS exclusive, mediocre gameplay, bad graphics, bad voice acting and not having multi-platform support

 

[Trombonista]

Here's some non-Gamergate related lulz from Wu:

You heard her, she's too lazy to cook or order out, so she just drinks Soylent everyday.

 

[Linako 2.0]

people like that are the first to die when a food shortage happens.
that or she will have major health problems in some time near the future.

That stuff looks vile. Maybe that explains why she's such an unhappy person.

 

[Ivan Komarov]

"she"
:^)

 

[Linako 2.0]

looked up more on Soylent.
how the fuck can people eat this shit?
This is like something out of a futuristic dystpoia

[wheat pasta]

I don't see how this is a rehash of anything, or why we shouldn't have this thread. She's peripherally related to gamergate, sure, but she makes for good discussion and is definitely a 'cow in her own right. But whatever, what do I know?

Too lazy to eat food?
Move over Chris, a new monarch of laziness is among us.
