Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[AnOminous]

The ending is a rip off of Portal because it has a stupid song at the end about death.

But Portal was a videogame with actual complex, well realized female characters in it, especially the villain.

Who made that, I wonder? Wasn't it that company run by a cishet white guy?

What's well-realized about Chell in the first game?

I should have been more clear I meant the Portal franchise, since 1 has no characters but GladOS (and the hinted existence of Rattmann).

Who could have seen this coming?! Say it ain't so Bri!

BRIANNA WU SELF-DONE ATTEMPT TO FISH FOR PITY COUNT: 5

* Fake letter from "former Gamergater" obviously writtern by Wu
* Fake Crash account on Twitter
* Fake Harassment attempts on 8chan
* Continued milking of obvious false-flagging back in October
* Faked harassment of herself that's so obvious that this will be her legacy from now onwards

Jesus Chris, this is some PaintingATree faggotry.

Lol, even Brianna knows (at least subconsciously) that nobody gives a shit about her. That's what aggravates me the most about Brianna: She's a complete and total nobody that people can't care less about and yet she tries to make herself into a Big Deal by manufacturing dramu and outrage. Lord, at least a lot of professional victims actually do have trolls and legitimately awful people who harass/bother them, even if it's only once. Brianna doesn't even have that. No one cares enough about her to risk getting in trouble (except for spastics like Jace and Tyce) and yet she acts like she's constantly at the top of some hit list for GamerGate assassins.

I just really hope that people will see this screencap and realize what a hack-fraud she is.

Personally, I can't wait to see the inevitable shit storm when Wu suddenly has to explain why such a "successful" game like Rev. 60 with its supposed sequel Rev. 62 being shoved up everybody's asses...doesn't have a sequel named Rev. 62.

Brianna Wu is not a real game dev. She hired a bunch of people and her unpaid husband to make the video game adaption using a lot of the material salvaged from "Socially Unconscious" because she's been trying to get her shit onto the mainstream for years (sources indicate the whole "this comic was in 11 papers!" thing is a lie and it wasn't even good enough for publishing in the Ole Miss paper - just for comparison, Jay fucking Geis got his shitty self-insert fagotry story of An Hero into a college paper) and the playtesters were ignored by her because "they didn't understand" but she never gave them the fucking books she says people need to actually buy to understand the fucking plot.

For all intents and purposes at this point, she's basically the female Phil Fish. Stole the work of other game makers wholesale and promoted it as her own thing with a HEAVY emphasis on the existence of the sequel and thus the importance of the endgame codes. And she's incapable of making it as Giant Spacekat only has two full time employees: the Wu couple themselves, and only one of them actually does any work it seems. Anybody else who worked on that game knows better than to go back to that kind of temp work for Wu unless they want to be inevitably dragged down with her when shit hits the fan.

Well, the good news is that this incident has pretty much dug Wu's grave concerning getting any competent help for making another game. Most actual coders, artists, and designers expected to be paid on time, focus on what works and what will actually appeal to the gaming demographic, and have little tolerance for poor workmanship or putting ideology above the product.

It just makes me feel better knowing Wu has basically wiped out any chance any reputable expert will seriously give him the time of day ever again, especially now that there is a long line of bad decisions and manufactured controversy exposing Wu as hack-fraud with little talent (and being willing to listen to those that do have it), even less business sense, and far less ethics than the side he claims are the real enemies here.

Are they talking about multiple people? I'm a bit confused and was under the impression the Wu was a collage dropout.

Don't forget Wu will refuse to hire any male staff, so she cuts her potential workforce in half right out of the gate. Perhaps she should see if Quinn and Anita want to help her work on her game.

So basically Brianna is the feminist stereotype MRAs push? Nice job, John, way to help your gender.

Oh, honey. You must be thinking of old gamedevs. New gamedevs are less interested in "getting paid" and "feeding their family", and more interested in being a part of something bigger than themselves, and making sisterly memories that last a lifetime.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to trade in my motorbike. I can't stand day-olds.

Are they talking about multiple people? I'm a bit confused and was under the impression the Wu was a collage dropout.

They are talking about multiple people in that topic so it can be a little confusing. It doesn't help that apparently this university was blessed with two tranny lolcows within a ten year period. The main quotes for Wu are the following:

Can't remember his name. Used to go around campus listening to an ipod (complete with arm strap) while singing and dancing to whatever the fuck he listened to on it. Somewhat long hair and very crazy looking. I only saw him once or twice wearing women's clothes. I was at OM from 2005-2008, made the mistake of changing my major to journalism for one semester and ended up in some journalism history intro-level course with the cross dresser. I remember one day passing the dude on campus and he let out some loud weird ass laugh for no apparent reason. Guy was weird as fuck.

He said he was from DC, actually. He came in listening to an ipod one day and like 2 min before class was supposed to start screamed out, as if singing along: "Elvis. Was. A hero to most, but not to me. He straight racist."

I saw him like 2 weeks later in the union bookstore wearing makeup, pear earrings, and a sports bra.

I too had polysci classes with him - think his name was John Flynn or Flynt. Truly bizarre human.

John Flynt was his name, not sure what he changed it to though. I worked at Moe's during 05-06 and he came in all the time because one of his friends worked with me there. He began the sex change process not long before I quit working there so I only saw him like twice dressed as a woman. Very wierd guy, always ordered tofu.

Brianna was the new name. Seemed like a fish out of water, and moved West maybe? Whatever makes you happy.

That freak John Flynt lived in Lexington Pointe in '05. He lived in the building behind mine and would blast Madonna constantly and would leave all of his windows and balcony completely open while he danced. I remember he had some sort of girlie looking dog that always had a "someone please rescue me from this freak" look on its face. We called the dog Precious because of its similarity to the dog in Silence of the Lambs and Flynt's similarity to Buffalo Bill. I remember he went through rush in either '02 or '03 and told us some off the wall story that he used to live in DC and that he had gotten stabbed in the back of the head during a mugging and had completely lost all of his memory, including his name. Totally not surprised that he ended up having a sex change.

One of my ex-girlfriends lived above John.
On one mysterious occasion, the apartment building was slightly shaking and extremely loud music could be heard. Weren't really sure what was going on.
Ends up, John was dancing out of control in his living room. This was at like 4 a.m.

See my post below. He did this constantly. I was afraid of that guy and he lived one building over from me. I can't imagine living in the same building as that freak. I really did feel sorry for that dog, no telling what he did to it.

Yeah, Lexington Point. That was it.
He was always sweaty. He told my ex the story about his memory loss but I don't remember it being as a result from a stab wound. He was polite, but weirded us out. The dog barked constantly.

He changed his name to Brianna because he had a crush on a fellow journalist student named "Bryan."

The Flynn/Flynt character hasn't been around for a while, but he was from D.C. and became Brianna. He was weird as shit before the sex change.

That second to last quote is particularly fascinating. I wonder what story she told her husband as to why she went with Brianna for her new name.

And it's just as much a Title IX violation as if someone refused to hire females. Not that there will be any problem, since nobody in their right mind wants to work there. Getting a job there if you intend to go into game development would be like smearing shit all your resume.

I'm pretty sure most female devs (and there's a lot more of them than Wu and her buddies would have us believe) wouldn't want to go near her.

I think that if you would work for this clusterfuck, You kinda have to take the entire political baggage with you and kinda get that SJW stamp
Which isn't really healthy in the real working grownup world.

As Alex "GTAV Is Not a Game We Have to Destroy It" Lifschitz delightfully found out.

So I finally took a look at the actual game.

I don't care who made it, this is a bad game. The length of development for something so mediocre (if I may be so generous) is astounding, especially given that there's apparently a team effort on this shit.

On a positive note, the characters would make excellent models for the next Five Nights at Freddy's game.

 

[Optimus Prime]

This morning, while waiting for my morning class to get started, I ended up joining a discussion with some classmates who had - as evidenced by me posting here - been talking about Revolution 60. Specifically how they didn't understand what the fuck was going on about it and how Brianna Wu kept throwing around accusations of misoginy and other SJW crap (not explicitly mentioned as such, but you get the idea) for people downvoting her game on Greenlight.

The only things they had problems with was everything in the actual game, citing the appearance of being awful in the "combat" sections and they were laughing their asses off when I laid out the game's "complex" narrative of two decision points, the "proficiency" test which is basically a live/die situation based on an utterly pointless attribute, and the catty"decision" where ultimately nothing happens differently regardless of who you side with (unless you don't, in which case Crimson 09 kills everybody for the lulz). I didn't even get to mention that the only importance of Unknown's decision is basically if her death happens to benefit you or not later on, as she's going to die no matter what.

Curiously, it was quickly brought up by one of the other students that Holiday is basically a blonde, sluttier looking version of Miranda from Mass Effect. I know somebody mentioned that earlier in this thread, but I felt it bore mentioning to showcase it's not an uncommon sentiment.

Re: the "slutty" character models: You know Wu will have hit the lowest point when she starts claiming R60 was really a satire on MAN-made games all along, for srs.
