Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[GleamingTheQ-Bert]

I know this was already mentioned, but this table is in dire need of a new coat of varnish. It also looks like it wasn't cleaned in ages.
Secondly if you are making a official photo and you wear something black, make sure it doesn't have any white stains, because you look like you occasionally drool without noticing it.
Thirdly, if Wu is afraid that every knock at the door might be a GG-assassin-squad, why is she sitting in it's direct line of sight, only a few meters away?

Edit:
Fourth, assuming Brianna really paid some Dr.Nick type for surgery, this scar on her forehead ... that could be a scar from an eyebrow lift.

Edit, Edit:
Come to think of it, the lower half of her face is quite saggy, while to upper is not.

Every shirt she's photographed in always looks like it needs to be washed. Pretty sure that grey shirt she wore to her twenty minute whinefest had a bunch of stains along the front of it too.

I thought the same thing....It makes sense, actually, when you consider John Flynt's non-existent, recessed upper lip and tiny, wrinkled, shrunken apple mouth. He's probably a mouth-breather, whose mouth falls open involuntarily. Abusing drugs which cause sedation (Ambien, Xanax) is only gonna add to that drool.

Either Flynt's the world's sloppiest eater, or a serious drooly.

But the thing that really makes no sense is wearing shirts that have been drooled / stained / sweated in to public, filmed events. It's the same logic that leads one to go on TV with his famously stick-combed hair.

Actually, its interesting: unlike most trannies and drag queens, Flynt rarely wears makeup or creates an elaborate physical style...I know this is somewhat a stereotype, but (correct me if I'm wrong) isn't the freedom to dress in a more colorful, fancy, outre fashion one of the most common draws which leads such men to think that transitioning will improve their lives positively? As in, they'll be able to "get away" with dressing more outlandishly?And when he DOES make even the most minimal effort in terms of appearance, he seems so childishly pleased with himself that we get the "goth brianna Wu" or "badass quotient" pics.

He's either overcompensating to convince himself and others, or...could it be that Flynt really doesn't know how he looks? The old Livejournal is FULL of unconvincing paeans to self-love, seemingly compensating for damaged self confidence: claiming he looks like a super-heroine, going on and on about his "thin, tall, Keira Knightley-esque" body, its positively delusional....

One thing is certain: Flynt is none too close to reality. The strange grimaces, done deliberately, the contrast between actual slovenly appearance and professed uber-pride, and most infuriatingly, the insistence that he is a natural-born, 100% female woman...something doesn't line up here.

PS - as someone alluded to, I think we've accurately identified some of Flynt's plastic surgery that was done around the time of the SRS: Forehead shortening, attempted chin reshaping, and definitely something to the nose bridge. When you look at the limited pictures we have of pre-transition Flynt, the major differences are in those areas...

Man, that hairline scar is really an eye sore. All the pics of successful forehead-shortening show hair growing through the scar, and from what I saw that seems to be one of the most successful ways to hide it. Flynt's seems to be sooo botched that his hairline stops rigidly short of it, leaving it highly visible. Geez, wear some bangs, you know?

I'm telling you guys, John's an alien.

 

[GleamingTheQ-Bert]

I was thinking recently about how lately Brianna has been going on about "empathy" as if she has some kind of high ground on the idea and it occurred to me that she's not once shown a scrap of it. She'll say something meaninglessly nice to anyone who asspats her but not once has she attempted to understand why one individual might have an issue with her. She will immediately label them, put them into a large group and write off their criticism as hatespeech.

This applies to neo-progressives in general but I'm focusing on Banana Poo specifically: She really have no idea what empathy is or how to show it. She puts people into large groups (Gamergate, men in tech, the Right) and like Sargon of Akkad said in a recent video, it is impossible to empathise with an entire group. As humans we simply cannot connect to that many human beings. Our brains aren't wired for it. Empathy requires individuals understanding the feelings of other individuals. Groups are simply masses of an opposing idea. Groups can be demonised and blamed for all kinds of problems. Brianna is so keen to blame "white men" for being successful in technology because its impossible for "white men" to defend themselves. If she came out and said "This guy right here is responsible for women not wanting to be in tech" she'd catch shit because he could could defend himself and explain what he did and why, then Brianna might be forced to empathise and I don't think she can.

Her enemies are always vague groups of people who seem to hate her no reason other than she is a woman* and she is in technology. Has she ever tried to understand why we don't like her? Has she ever honestly, openly attempted to speak to any individual who disagrees with her? No, she just blocks them or gets them thrown out of her talk. She refuses to talk to individuals. She will only ever talk at groups. She does not seen Gamergate as a collection of individuals with different beliefs and backgrounds united by a common purpose. She just sees them one Borg collective.

"Empathy" is just a buzzword for her. She throws it into her speech, idiots nod and murmur their approval and she gets feeling of success and righteousness. At no point does she display what she preaches. She wields it like a fucking weapon. I have empathy. You do not. Therefore you are the bad guy.

Furina! Look what I just found! More professed "empathy" discussion from Wu, see what you make of this. I'm really puzzled by the "extremist sect of Xianity for rich & powerful"...I have no doubt there are extremist Xian groups, especially in South US, but since when to they self-segregate by economic level? Also, Wu seems to take a perverse amount of pride in bragging about his wealthy parents and privileged upbringing, while nominally criticizing such a thing to (in his warped mind) retain his anti-capitalist liberal credentials.... Eh.

It seems to me that one of the great divides of humanity is between those with compassion for others and those without.

I would be honest and say I grew up almost entirely devoid of compassion. I was raised in an extremist sect of Christianity for the rich and privileged. My parents were products of integration in the racist South, although they didn't know it. I was raised to believe that the poor in our society had themselves to blame, and that blacks needed to act like whites in order to get ahead.

This fantasy-plex worldview continued for me until I was about 22. A near-fatal accident left me largely unable to function. I spent over a year without the ability to control my hands enough to write, and sleeping 14 hours a day as my brain worked to heal itself. It was hard to see at the time, but this was one of the most important things that ever happened to me.

The experience taught me that, as a society, we're all in this together - and we have a moral responsibility to help our fellow man. This doesn't mean through meaningless rhetoric, it means through taxes, equal access to economic institutions and laws to enforce these goals, when necessary.

I find it notable that this awareness doesn't fall between party lines, religious lines or socioeconomic lines. There are Republicans who understand compassion, atheists and even the very privileged.

It seems to me that America is on the apex of falling as a major world power. We are going to have to learn to be far more humble with our military, our corporate subsidies and our tax policies. This doesn't make me happy to see the nation I love faltering - but I do hope there will be an upside. I hope we will all learn that we are one people with one common goal to better ourselves. I think we can get there if we all learn a little more compassion.

god - DAMN!

What are you goddamning about? The giant, slovenly holes or the cyanotic, bony knees? Wu has a very limited wardrobe. Frank and he spend $ on tech, vidya, but not on clothes. I wonder if the TV folks offered a bit of stage makeup, perhaps a stylist, and Wu brushed it off. He really must think he's hot shit.

Frank certainly adds to this delusion. The LJ is full of Frank calling him "babe" and drooling over his "feminine beauty". Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against gay folks, but these two are sickening.

The knees. Holy shit. Those are the bony knees of a 75 year old man.

Secondly if you are making a official photo and you wear something black, make sure it doesn't have any white stains, because you look like you occasionally drool without noticing it.

Brianna does have a certain slack-jawed idiot look about her. Probably zoning out while watching TV or tweeting and then letting the drool fall out that one side of her face that makes her look like a stroke victim. I noticed this when I heard him talk, he;s got a definite slur in his speech that makes him sound like he's on something.
I really doubt that any point John realised that women tend to be rather mindful of their appearances so when the desire to take a picture of himself at the computer watching his favourite fake death threat the idea to check himself in the mirror first never entered his xanax-riddled brain.

Actually, its interesting: unlike most trannies and drag queens, Flynt rarely wears makeup or creates an elaborate physical style...I know this is somewhat a stereotype, but (correct me if I'm wrong) isn't the freedom to dress in a more colorful, fancy, outre fashion one of the most common draws which leads such men to think that transitioning will improve their lives positively?

He really doesn't seem to put any effort in whatsoever. He's got a few outfits he wears all the time, hardly ever bothers with makeup and seems to have had barely any surgery to make himself appear more feminine. Wouldn't someone with as much money as John go through the bother of facial alterations, botox and lip filling? It looks like he had the boob job and said that was enough.
Again, he's just lazy. No work put into his game, no effort put into his appearance and no effort put into his transition.

More LJ insight into the contradicting poseur we know as Johnny Flynt.

Check out Wu tiptoeing right up to the edge of suggesting he can give birth to a child. He seems unusually careful to not actually say anything that directly suggests he could literally pop one out, but...(Don't miss the fat-shaming, either. As Furina said, Wu has NO empathy. He dissects supposed old friends for superficial appearance deficiencies, and wholly ignores the idea that, hey, she just had a kid you asshole, cut her some slack!)

Motherhood: What's the Total Price?

Feb. 9th, 2008 | 08:44 am
I had coffee with a friend of mine yesterday I hadn't seen since she'd given birth. I was really shaken by the changes to her body and personality.

I had always admired her for her gorgeous skin tone, but she looked like she'd aged a decade. She'd also put on at least 30 pounds, but those things are just the meaningless superficial. What frankly scared me was her dyspeptic and distracted nature. She was a cheerleader in high school, but now she seemed so lifeless and without energy. Where was the woman I have done power yoga with for the last year?

It had been three months since she's had her child - is it normal for the effects of the pregnancy to still be with her so strongly? Do these things go away in time, or are you permanently sacrificing a measure of your youth? What is the true price of choosing to have children?

It seems to me that there is massive social pressure for women to have children. Our mothers ask us for grandchildren, sitcoms revolve around the idea and our closest friends take the journey and seemingly expect us to take it with them. Yet - as I've seen my friends go through this journey, their personalities and priories always change so drastically.

In my opinion, the entire point of feminism is the right to make choices. Yet - it also sometimes seems like motherhood is a part of the feminine journey that many find deeply rewarding. No matter which path you take, it seems like you're going to miss out on some of the rewards life can offer you.

Maybe she was just tired from having to watch after her child and take some actual responsibility in her life John. Hell, maybe after going through such a life-changing event she simply just realized how petty you are and is starting to deeply resent you.

 

[Von Clausewitz]

god - DAMN!

Either Wu has bad circulation in her legs or she had a knee operation on each side. Can't tell for sure with this quality.

I would hate to wear those jeans.

Speculating wildly here: Assuming Wu is or was a heavy smoker, it could actually be both. Smokers have a tendency to develop deep vein thrombosis, the operation can be performed by insertions through the knee.

Ok, I have found the absolute bottom of the pit of self-delusion. From John Flynt's LiveJournal, Feb. 11th, 2008:

"I wish I'd come to grips with my own looks in my 20s - I might have tried modeling.

Bri"

Yes, Wu as a model. Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford, Kathy Ireland....

So this implies that Wu was 30+ in 2008? So she is now what? At least 37? How old is Wu anyway?

It's almost as if the massive physical, hormonal and psychological ordeal of childbirth might alter a person. Who'd have guessed? I've never been pregnant and probably never will be but I'm pretty sure its one of those things that changes a person forever. You're never the same person you were before.

It had been three months since she's had her child

That's a sentence that needs an editor. I had to read a it a few time smake sure I'd read it correctly. Glad to see all those writing classes put to good use.

It seems to me that there is massive social pressure for women to have children.

Rather, there's massive biological pressure to have kids. Or else the species would die out. Mothers pressure us to have grandkids because of the same reason. Everyone loves kids, especially older people. Sitcom revolve around the idea because its a fairly common thing that happens and provides a good storyline with plenty of opportunities for things to happen.

their personalities and priories always change so drastically

If I ever get pregnant, I too plan to move to a new priory and continue my life as a nun. OK, assuming she meant "Priority" and not "Priory", of course their priorities change! Sorry, I can't go out and get shit faced with you guys, there's a tiny human being I need to look after at home and if I leave them alone they might die. I'm guessing this dumb question stems from John lacking the mind and instincts of a real woman. But even then I'm sure a normal man would understand that a woman's (or any human) priorities would change after the creation of a another small human.

In my opinion, the entire point of feminism is the right to make choices. Yet - it also sometimes seems like motherhood is a part of the feminine journey that many find deeply rewarding. No matter which path you take, it seems like you're going to miss out on some of the rewards life can offer you.

So your biggest complaint is that women can't have their cakes and eat them too? Yes, feminism is (or was, I don't fucking know what feminism means any more) about making your own choices, and many women choose to have children because they find it rewarding in ways they cannot find anywhere else. Feminism should not ever discourage motherhood.

Luckily for John, the whole "motherhood vs career woman" debate was decided for him at birth. Because he's a man. Pretending to be a woman.

Has she ever looked happy in her entire life??

It's a difficult task to find images of Brianna where she actually looks happy and content.

Spoiler: but they do exist

It may be hard to believe at first, but Brianna IS physically able to move the corners of her mouth upwards.

Smoking heavily would explain why she sounds like a cross between Bob Dylan and Dr girlfriend.
