Why the hell did John delete that tweet? It doesn't even make him look like that much of a sped.

Because John looked like he fell for something stupid, and we all know John hates looking stupid.

Yeah, because if there's one thing MBA grads are known for, it's a strong interest in doing what's "right" over what's profitable/responsible. Long, droning discussions on social justice and feminism are a lot more appealing than penthouses and private jets after all.
Also, your stockholders will totally be super understanding. After all, it's not like it's all about money at the end of the day, right?
I actually want to hear the full pitch for this idea. "Now I know no one in this room gives a fuck about anything that can't be expressed on a balance sheet, but hear me out on this...."

The idea of multiple people interning at GSX is laughably absurd. Anyone fresh out of college with a CS degree and a few game design courses under their belt already knows way more about the field than John Flynt will ever be able to fake in a lifetime.

One of the first things that drew me to analyze Wu was something I noticed when a few Kiwis were posting one of her vids in the chat, and I noticed something curious.
She has the exact same verbal tics and line delivery style as the Irate Gamer. Some comparions:
* Same verbal trip-ups. FUS-TRATED is the most obvious, as is "Y'know," which most hear as "Y'ow" from her.
* Same response style when agitated. WAS ANYONE FIRED FOR THIS?!
* Same deer-in-headlights look when talking, same constant looking around.
* Same matter-of-fact surety in delivery. FACE IT, BRIANNA WU IS RUINED.

Okay I've made the life-threatening mistake of starting to listen to this talk and I'm about twelve minutes in. Shock and horror, the main axiom is the immutable truth of "lived experience", aka YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING THAT I SAY. Now, her talk is about unconscious bias, which is presumably referring to snap judgements that we make simply based on a person's appearance alone or other shallow criteria. But wait a minute! If I unconsciously gravitate towards a man (versus a woman) who is trying to sell me a computer, that's my own perception and therefore my own lived experience, so how could I possibly be wrong?
On the one hand, he's saying that we need to shift our perceptions so as to account for subconscious messages that may have been given to us via our upbringing, the media, etc. But on the other hand, some people's perceptions are apparently more important than others. So, for example, if a woman feels as though she is being sexually harassed, SHE IS AUTOMATICALLY RIGHT ALL THE TIME SO SHUT THE FUCK UP and definitely could not ever be in the equally morally pernicious state of having subconscious bias herself.
Now he's prattling on about not speaking for about issues facing a certain group if you're not part of the group. How's the fight for transgender recognition going, John?
EDIT: 18 minutes in - John and Frank have made the decision to not have children But now he's suddenly talking about issues that women with children face when he has no children!!

Wait, do colleges and universities use students' tuition to pay for speakers? If so, if I found out that Brianna Wu was speaking at my school, I'd be so fucking mad. I'd rather just burn my own money.
Also, what the fuck would Brianna even talk about? How to capitalize on being trolled? Or how to needlessly insert yourself into an online shitfest that had nothing to with you in the first place? Because I'm pretty sure I have the formula down...
- Needlessly insert yourself into an online shitfest that had nothing to with you in the first place
- Be sure to mention to your project (be it a video game, web series, etc) as much as you can to get exposure
- Bait 4channers/Redditors into insulting you. If that doesn't work, make some up yourself. In fact, screw baiting real people, just sockpuppet all over the place
- Screencap the insulting posts and go cry to a outlet like the Mary Sue or Gawker, making sure to mention your vagina every other sentence
- ?????
- Profit!!!

Y'all forgot to mention that she trots out an exact count of her total death threats received not even five minutes into the talk. Dear God, I didn't think she would still be on about that but I guess I was wrong.

Of course you can do anything if mommy and daddy give you hundreds of thousands of dollars and then you suck your husband's bank account and life savings dry. It doesn't mean you'll be SUCCESSFUL at what you do though.

Do John's imaginary interns get along well with his imaginary assistant? How many went along to his imaginary meeting with GoogleIdeas? Do any of them get imaginary patdowns from the TSA, too?
Do they go with John on his imaginary mountaineering expeditions? Help John run imaginary marathons? Compete in imaginary motorcycle races?

Among every other fact that Wu got wrong, he said:
"...and then when the Super Nintendo came out in 1982..."
Start listening at 48:15 to hear it. Wu, you're about as much of a gamer as my dead grammy's corpse.
Also: according to Wu, photoshopping a smile onto a woman's face to demonstrate the versatility of a program to an audience is sexist, because "women are told to smile like 10 times per day".
Just a word of caution: Don't try to watch the whole video at once; I think I have all-new rage veins in my forehead as a result. Wu tries SOOOOOO hard, the acting is palpable: Walking with hands pressed together in prayer position, as if in the midst of Yoda-level deep thought; "Anyone brave enough to be the first to ask a question?"; "When I was at M.I.T...."; "I'm probably the biggest expert on the Unreal Engine in the whole world", ........It's seriously Isometric-levels of Wu-sperging.
And the guys asking questions? They make Wu seem like Arnold Freakin' Schwarzenegger! The queerbait playing with his hair who introduces her is the most manly of the bunch. They fall all over themselves kissing Wu's butt. It's nauseating...

Good fucking god, I stopped at around the 20 minute mark to avoid having to go for a liver transplant. I'm frankly terrified as to what the Q&A must be like.

Well, despite what Wu will claim, I imagine all questions were preapproved by her or her sycophants. So I can only imagine what kind of pathetic, softball questions she got.

Remember kids, games only matter if they have female protagonists. I guess Megaman Volnutt is a massive sexist for blowing Tron into smithereens.
