Okay, I'm breaking this into two pastes. The first table is all the "activities" that took place on the "support Brianna Wu" campaign.
And the text, which is hard to read so I'm putting it all in its own table.

| 1387190 | Daniel | Glad to chip in. Loved Revolution 60 and eager to get my niece playing Cupcake Crisis...and maybe download my own copy too. |
| 1392334 | Russell | I've given up on Gamergate, but you're still out there dealing with it. Bravo, Godzilla. It's not much, but maybe this will help you "stay safe". ;) I can't think of anything else I can do to help, like many others. |
| 1392779 | Dawn | Thank you for being on the front lines, standing up to the bullies. I know this is absolutely the least I can do to support you, but at least it's something. |
| 1392857 | Simon | You go, Brianna. Good luck. |
| 1392868 | David | Congrats reaching your goal. |
| 1392890 | Patrick | Glad you can start making games again and glad I could offer some small assistance. |
| 1393222 | Kevin | Really pleased to see your goal reached so quickly; hopefully it will go some way to offset the financial and time burden that the harassers have imposed on you. Regarding the rest, perhaps you can take some heart from knowing you have broad support.
I will also add - thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to do something. |
| 1396688 | Brianna | Hey everybody! I'll give you a longer post soon, but for now - as a thank you for supporting this Patreon, I plan to make a special Twitter list for my Patreons. Email your Twitter handle to business@giantspacekat.com, and I'll make you a priority to interact with and also give you a follow!
You can also leave it here in the comments! |
| 1396865 | Timothy | I'm so happy that you've given us an avenue to send concrete support your way. I believe wholeheartedly in Giant Space Kat's mission, and I can't wait to share your games with my daughter. I hope that she'll be able to look forward to new GSK games and treat them as an inspiration to grow up and be as absolutely amazing as she possibly can. I'm so proud to give my support! |
| 1399830 | Brianna | Hey everybody! I've been told Gamergate has been harassing some of my Patreons who have their profiles public. Trust me, you'd rather not deal with their nonsense. I included the steps for making your profile private below.
Sorry about this headache. But this kind of behavior is exactly why we're all here in the first place.
|
| 1400252 | David | Hi Brianna (and future GSX hire),
Decided to push your Patreon a little further over the top, because anyone who will be dealing with the sort of crap we've seen over the past six months deserves more money. (Hopefully they'll get to do more gamedev than GamerGate!)
I hadn't actively considered social issues in the software industry until GamerGate. Since then, you and many others have forced me to confront both the sad state of software and how I have to change to help fix it. Thank you for that education. |
| 1401068 | Arthur | I'm supporting you as a brilliant developer who deserves NOT to have her life and livelihood threatened because she happens to be a woman. Go get em Bri! |
| 1402022 | Rebecca | To be honest, I'm not much of a gamer... My proudest achievement in gaming was getting a gem on the first level of Crash Bandicoot 1. But then on subsequent levels, I kept dying and got frustrated, so I quit (yay for follow through!!!). However, I'm personally offended that there are any industries that disenfranchise/demean/threaten/ostracize women. But rather than live in the negative, I choose to do something positive - hence becoming a patron of you. Besides, you never know, I might do well with your forthcoming cupcake game - it's aimed for kids right, so I may have a chance! ;-) |
| 1447381 | Brianna | Thank you so much for the support this month! |
| 1478494 | Alexis | It was great to see you hit your milestone so quickly and my jaw dropped to see you've hit $13k / month. Have you considered what to do with the extra money? |
| 1481261 | Brianna | Hey guys! So I have a ton of information to tell you about.
So, the good news! This position has been filled! And they are working their ass off. Thanks to the GSX harassment officer, we have a lot of things in the pipeline. For starters, we have a MAJOR INVESTIGATIVE PIECE coming out soon. Basically, a major gamedev company is working with some very sexist people. Look for an expose soon!
Giant Spacekat is now able to collate information about harassment in the industry. Even though it’s only day 3, we are hard at work! If you see harassment law enforcement needs to know about, write harassment@giantspacekat.com or tweet @GSXoffice.
So, the elephant in the room. Our Patreon is up to $13,000 a month. As you all know, Patreon does not allow a one time donation. This one person, who is RIDICULOUS GENEROUS and has my eternal thanks, wanted to donate a one time thing. After they are charged next month, that will go down to the $3000.
To be blunt, we still need your support. I'm sorry if this has been confusing - to be honest I've been getting attacked left and right from people under the impression it will be every month.
We're having a major meeting with law enforcement tomorrow. This is possible because you've helped me get help setting all of this up. THANK YOU.
We're also working on media addressing inequality in the industry. Coming soon, you can expect a viral video looking at the pipeline problem of women in gamedev. It will be short, and will illustrate a lot of the misconceptions common in the field.
Guys, I cannot thank you enough. She only started Monday, and this week has been beyond productive for me. This would not be possible without your help. THANK YOU for your support at getting back to making videogames.
Bri |
| 1596849 | Brianna | Hey everyone. I want to give you a concrete example of what your Patreon donations are funding with a very vivid example of the death threats I get.
I was sent this video last night by a man threatening "Wu-Pocalypse." He admits to sending me death threats, stands in front of car he crashed enroute to my house with guns. I'm not joking when I say this has an extreme trigger warning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYPC-YMdJFI
The person helping me interface and build cases is named Nicole, and she's been instrumental. It's not an exaggeration to say, I would be leaving the industry without your help. Thank you for giving me your support. |
| 1617261 | Brianna | Thank you so much for the support this month! |
| 1685771 | Ted | When you feel scared to do what's right, it's time to stop worrying and discussing and start doing and helping. To stand up and fight back. That's why I got over my fear and pledged what I can. I hope others can do the same. Yes you, the person who is about to switch tabs right now and say "I'll think about it later." Help now, don't just walk away because it's so easy to.
As one of the biggest champions of feminism in the games world I know it feels like a lot is all on you. I know you never asked for this, but please please please don't stop. I hope to create games exploring every aspect of social justice and environmentalism. You and other feminist game developers are leading way towards a future where no one would be scared to release a game like that. I just wish it wasn't so painful or dangerous. Who would have thought a medium all about playing together would make it so hard to do so. I hope my small contribution can help alleviate the boulder on your shoulders. Please be safe, and keep fighting the good fight.
Sincerely,
Ted |
| 1686559 | Mollie | Well, I don't game and I don't let my kids play video games, and actually, I'm not a feminist either. But, hey! NOBODY should live in fear and have to watch their back every moment! God bless you, and I will pray for the safety of you and yours, and all the others unfairly targeted! |
| 1689048 | Bob | Brianna, just a quick note of support: I thought it might lighten your load a tiny bit to know that my teenage sons know you as a hero. |
| 1792135 | Brianna | Thank you so much for the support this month! |
| 2053615 | Alexis | Hey Bri, you're super amazing and I'm happy to be able to help support you |

HOLY SHIT, WU'S PATREON CONFIRMED FOR BEING
.She's using the fucking incident to openly fundraise! THIS GOES RIGHT IN THE WIKI.
I believe trying to fundraise off of a threat on your life is illegal, given that it's what Anita and McIntosh almost got nailed for.
I direct you to this old post of mine:
You may not be aware, but this is against the law in the United States. In fact, the law's been pretty up-front about cracking down on this shit. In NY, for example, a woman was sent to jail for over eight months for fundraising in this fashion. Sarkeesian’s innocence for such fraud would rest upon the death threats she received being genuine, but unfortunately, we know that Sarkeesian never contacted the authorities about the threats she claimed to have recieved. Milo Yiannopolis committed a similar investigation, which came to identical results that furthermore indicated she never called the police. Which means that posts like this, in which she claimed to have done so, are false:
The mainstream press has been openly complicit with allowing Anita to do this, so don't expect anything to happen to her anytime soon. You will notice, however, that Femfreq has stopped making posts like these.
@AnOminous and those of our Kiwis more familiar with the law, chime in here and give us a taste of what we're looking at here. I prefer to know what I'm talking about before I post something to the Wiki, and I want to know what rules Wu and friends may have broken, if any.
Semper Fidelis, Kiwis.

I really don't want to pull out any names, because idiots might start harassing them, and even though those idiots would own their actions, there is no good reason to do any identification.
I just scanned the list for any well-known names and only got Randall Munroe, and it's on his public page anyway as being a supporter.
edit: The sum of her donations when the hackers broke into Patreon was $2995 from 617 supporters.

Actually, it's pretty ideal for Wu's purposes. It means the amount of public data on the finances of GSK can be kept to an absolute minimum, which, for obvious reasons, suits Wu's purposes pretty well.
Further, it also confirms the company model was deliberately chosen so Wu could be deliberately vague on employee income, company assets, and profits, especially if the company is at a loss concerning those values.
For tax purposes, it's basically allowing Wu to commit borderline fraud with some muddy legal wiggle room.

There are lots of S Corps in America. Friends have been in them.
All owners have to be real persons and US Citizens, so GSK could not take any venture capital from firms. Individuals can invest, corporations cannot.

Every dime of the Patreon goes to feed "Natalie"'s poor, little baby Duzznoteggzist. Shame on you awful death threat gamermisogynists for trying to starve that beautiful child. She's the light of Giant Spacedouche HQ and its millions of dedicated employees.

I've got the last 4 digits and expiration date of Wu's credit card. And I'm pretty sure it's a Visa.
Too bad Gamergate already stole it; someone should put that guy in jail!

|
| 2014-12-23 18:08:35.000 | Paul, were you the one I clicked on accidentally? "Sexist men?" It's the list right below it I sue for public shaming. ^^ I removed you obviously.
|
| 2014-12-23 19:19:18.000 | Timothy, what's your Twitter handle again?
|
| 2014-12-23 19:53:29.000 | Yeah, you're on it - you just can't see it because the list is secret. For obvious reasons.
|
| 2015-01-08 00:18:28.000 | I hear you. Thanks for the suggestion.
It's pretty exciting where we're going, no? |
| 2015-01-08 00:34:21.000 | You have no idea. Just look at the tone of my Twitter which is all happy again. ^^ |
| 2015-01-31 18:48:33.000 | I'm assigning Nicole to add the rest of these this week. |

Miraculous, John. You* finally labeled one of your shameless shill tweets as "sponsored". Hope your followers enjoy you using your platform to advertise for things like cars, sold by a company whose Board of Directors is 100% male. Good to see once again your "feminism" is just a scam and that you'll take money from anyone for any reason.
*It's safe to assume the car company made you label it.
When did you first get involved in gaming?
As a kid growing up in small town Mississippi, I struggled to fit in. When I discovered the world of gaming I finally felt like, yes, this is where I belong! It was an incredible experience. At the same time, I quickly became frustrated by the lack of female characters in the games I was playing. I wanted to relate to and identify with the protagonists, but the pickings were slim and uninspired.

So... as a small boy in Mississippi, you were "frustrated" by the lack of female characters, because you could only relate to and identify with opposite-gender protagonists? Yeah, that's about as believable as everything else you say.

I'm not even sure if that's him. I don't use Patreon so I might be reading it wrong, but there's no page for people to donate to him for his comic, no links to anywhere, not linked from anywhere as far as I can tell... I think it's just somebody using it as a pseudonym (or a sockpuppet trying to make itself look even more impressive).

You know, I've never actually read Wu's Patreon page, just check to see what the backers and amount she's getting is, but God damn does it come across as one hell of a scam. All the money she's getting is supposedly going to pay someone to deal with all the trolling she gets while she works on video games. That's literally what she says, and she somehow is getting almost $3000 for that. Fucking hell...

I found this private message from the Patreon to be the most amusing. An ardent Wu supporter got blocked from Wu's twitter for accidentally hurting Wu's feelings and is futilely begging to be unblocked

1. She doesn't look quite as haggard in this pic. I wonder how much makeup they put on her...[MEDIA=twitter]650067876955615232[/MEDIA]

I wanted to relate to and identify with the protagonists, but the pickings were slim and uninspired.
So... as a small boy in Mississippi, you were "frustrated" by the lack of female characters, because you could only relate to and identify with opposite-gender protagonists? Yeah, that's about as believable as everything else you say.
2. Oh yes, the classic "if the protagonist isn't a womyn how can I identify with her?!" schtick.
All the men and boys who love Metroid (the game with a cis woman protagonist, remember?) would like to say hello, John.
That's not even the tip of the iceberg, there's so many franchises that have a female main character and real gamers don't give a shit what's between the character's legs. Utterly stupid.
(I'm so close to going on a rant here but I'm gonna check myself 'fore I rek myself)

I think that might be one of her better pics, easily top three. For once, her mouth isn't hanging open like she is having a stroke.[MEDIA=twitter]650067876955615232[/MEDIA]
Miraculous, John. You* finally labeled one of your shameless shill tweets as "sponsored". Hope your followers enjoy you using your platform to advertise for things like cars, sold by a company whose Board of Directors is 100% male. Good to see once again your "feminism" is just a scam and that you'll take money from anyone for any reason.
*It's safe to assume the car company made you label it.
When did you first get involved in gaming?

Randal skirts the edge of SJW's all the time a awful lot of XKCD fans particularly on the forums could be classed as such, it's a shame really XKCD is one of the few web comics I genuinely love. So him having a Patrone account isn't that absurd however Wu wouldn't really pop up on his radar.

I read a long time ago that Randal is a giant lolcow and the female character in his comic is based on a real woman who rejected him and married someone else, but in his comic/fantasy world she's really with him. I don't know if it was true or not, especially since I haven't seen any mention of it in years, but it puts all those "I'm the one she really loves! Not that dumb JOCK" comics into a much darker context.

I have never heard that before but it could make some sense now that you mention it. Then again Randal got married a year or two ago so he is possibly long over it.
