Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Jaimas]

One thing that drives me nuts about Wu is that she's genuinely a worse lockdown artist than Dobson.

Revolution 60, for all its fail, comes from a place of love. It may be poorly-executed, technologically inept, and with some of the most slapdash sound editing I've heard, but some parts of it shine with what I feel like Wu herself was trying to accomplish. The character models, though lanky and odd-looking, have a stylized design that's genuinely interesting. Parts of the game's Fluff show a level of competence, especially when Wu can keep her story straight on some of it.

...And yet, we can enjoy none of that, because Wu herself is a miserable shit. Everything about Revolution 60's development and promotion is wrapped in despicable practices, from Wu abusing her employees to open fucking collusion to promote the game. Even the anticipated-so-we-can-eviscerate-it Steam release is wreathed in such practices. Hell, it contains probably the two most blatant example of them all: Her trying to buy off a Steam Admin and the infamous capstone to Brianna Wu on Steam:

It's a bizarre case of a game that might have had more of a chance if it hadn't been, ironically enough, for Wu herself.

Wu, you should never bitch about being a target of doxing again after doing this sort of shit:

... Wu is a fucking idiot.

I mean, we knew that already, but just wanted to say.

While I do think it's her spiting Geth, she really is a big Mass Effect fan but the last thing I saw from her that was ME related was boasting about how she committed genocide and how it's the correct way to play(I have not played the game)

Happy 420 pages.

Slight Mass Effect sperging for those discussing Wu's genocide comment:

What she was referring to was the outcome for the Mass Effect 2: Arrival DLC.

Spoiler

At the end of the mission, Shepard chooses to blow up a Mass Effect relay to delay the arrival of the Reapers. This relay, in particular, was close to Batarian space and the explosion killed millions of Batarians thus mostly ensuring the end of their species by Mass Effect 3. The decision is played to be a dramatic moment that weighs on Shepard but Wu is Wu and thus can only focus on the "see how powerful, cool, and edgy I am!" part. Brianna is essentially trying hard to be the edgy, "dangerous" teenager she never was or ever will be.

All of this kinda confirms that Wu seems to gloss over any kind of storytelling or dramatic moment if it doesn't involve something regarding trannies or feminism.

Mostly because he can't spin it to be about himself.

God I love when people use the Bechdal test as if it makes sense. Which is always. If you understand any basic rules of story telling, then you know it is utterly flawed.

 

[Red_Rager]

BAN ALL KIWIS!

also, she's known about us for longer than she would dare admit. Especially considering she talked to Null when Jace crashed his car.

I would not be surprised if she tried to claim that the kiwi farms was in on her "assassination attempt" by the commander. After all, we are all loyal soldiers of the Deagle Nation.

 

[FatNero]

I'm wondering when she's going to claim that lying is part of a mental illness to get out of it all free and clear, and that she needs more victim points added to her character sheet.

Wu is going full Sarah Palin. Desperate that nobody is paying any attention any more, she's just ramping up the bullshit and insanity.

Does anyone even believe Wu actually works, ever, at this point, "designing games" or whatever?

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

It's probably to do with that blocklist, you just need to follow some prominent GamerGaters or follow people who follow GamerGaters to get declared haram.

But I don't, though. If anything, I'm more on the anti-GG side (or I would be, if Wu, Chloe, et al. weren't totally crazy-go-nuts).

I can still see them. Maybe she's blocking people who follow prominent Kiwi figures like Tyce or Null?

Maybe she just feels a certain kinship with you.
Seriously, though, that must be what it is. Most of the people I follow are either mods or other kiwis.
It's probably for the best. She wouldn't like me anyway, what with me being a fat dyke & all. I hear she hates them just as much as "sand niggers."

The Bechdal Test started as a joke in a radical lesbian magazine in the 80's, nearly 30 years later, it remains a joke.

Not gonna lie, though, Allison Bechdel's one of my favorite cartoonists.

The weirdest thing to me is that you can make anything about feminism if you try. It's so easy. See, watch:

-Genophage prevents Krogan females from getting pregnant & keeping babbys to term
-Females are the backbone of society
-Krogans are super-strong, genophage created due to fear of strong women

Ta-da! That took, like, three seconds. Bitch needs to git gud.

Brianna is fat & I would totally Krogan-headbutt her to assert my dominance. & I would not have sex with her.

Could I request an assessment of the Geth/Quarian war from the feminist perspective ?

I usually try to take a any sort of entertainment or art for its own merits.

I usually don't care where my money goes to, if I get some form of entertainment out of what I buy, that justifies the price tag. Even without knowing the person mainly responsible for the game... Revolution 60 looks like something I would expect a couple of college kids to program in their spare time. It looks like someone ported a half-finished game from the early 2000s onto iPad. You can have far superior games for free. Just look at 'Spookys House of Jumpscares'.

I wouldn't waste 6€ on Revolution 60, if my biggest concern was the question, what color my fifth Ferrari should have. However, knowing where my money would go to, makes me rather happy that I wasn't even considering buying it in the first place.

I've got no problem with the bechdal test as something to write by when you're trying to actively create work that showcases women instead of men, but it isn't something that works to judge media as a whole.

Any film that isn't about a woman cannot pass the test, because a well written film will never have a scene that isn't either about the main character or have the main character in it. So if the story is about a man, or a young boy or a... robot... then it can't pass the test. And to somehow make the fundamental rules of storytelling, the basis of how we even communicate ideas as a freaking species inherently sexist-- that's some dumb dumb shit.

Everyone knows that the Geth gaining sentience is a metaphor for the rise of feminism. When the Geth women realize their true worth & have the potential to be more than just babby factories & menial laborers confined to their households, the Quarians men react in fear & try to destroy any sort of uprising.

This has been BOLDYSPICY! wondering what the fuck she's doing with her life

Wait, wait, wait, I get it now...

Think about it for a second, guys.

The Reapers only exterminate all sentient life in the universe because sentient life inevitably creates synthetic life.

Synthetic life will inevitably rebel and try to destroy organic life because organic life doesn't know any better to avoid creating synthetic life.

The Reapers believe that by exterminating all life, they are preventing them from destroying themselves and thus preserve the world for a new cycle.

AAAAAAAND

The men only suppress all women in the world because women inevitably desire more rights.

Women will inevitably abuse these rights and bring down the whole of society because women don't know any better to avoid using their new rights in any way but some sort of horrible worst case scenario.

Men believe that by suppressing all women and keeping them in a subordinate position, they are preventing them from destroying themselves and thus preserve the world for a new cycle.

OH MY GOD REAPERS ARE PART OF THE PATRIARCHY I'M TRIGGERED.

Snip

This is missing the Patreon picture, though.
As long as Brianna Wu can continue to get thousands of dollars a month, she can pay her bills.

If she gets busted for lies on Twitter, or banned from the website, it doesn't completely wipe out the underpinnings of her life. Brianna Wu can play on a different kind of social media.

If Rev 60 bombs, Brianna Wu will blame GamerGate and claim oppression. To be completely fair, Rev60 is not unplayable nor offensive on its own, and there is some chance that it is merely "Bad" as opposed to "Bomb". I think the idea of trying to segment the market ideologically and getting people who are "Pro-Causes I try to speak loudly for" to buy the game has worked many times in the past, but generally the Pro-Cause individual is more sincere and the game in question actually supports said cause. A game made to support environmentalism promotes the idea in game, etc.

There's not a darn thing about feminism nor transgenders in Rev60. Will Rev60 look so bad that it takes out Wu?

And I think Brianna Wu is desperate to play victim and be outed. If that doesn't happen, she must continue to live the lie until she screws it up.

Duh, just make EVERY character female.

A game with no girls = OMG SO SEXIST NO FEMALE REPRESENTATION

A game with all girls = OMG SO SEXIST MALE POWER FANTASY (yes, even if they're all wearing normal clothes and doing non-fetishized things)

You could probably make all future video game characters transsexual goldfish and they'd find some way to call it sexist.

They could call this very post sexist because I don't glorify women as the perfect sex in it.

We need the rating for this thread because the non-lazy eyes of Deagle Nation are always watching tranny anti-gamer terrorists, taaaa that's realistic gamers.
