Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Rogowski]

Seriously where did all this come up anyway?

If I had to guess I'd say she's referring to get husband's ex wifecoming out and saying that Frank Wu was abusive torward her. In other words, she's victim blaming.

Sometimes I think one day we'll get a tweet from Wu that just says "The Aristocrats!" and we'll never hear from them again. A year later Frank Wu will finally realize he was used as a living prop for one of the best performances in history. One day he'll open his front door to get the newspaper only to find a rose with a note attached.

"Thanks for making the spaceships.

- John Flynt"

Contrarily, Revolution 60 becomes the new Aristorcats.

The publisher sits silently for the longest time, then says "Well. That's one hell of a game. Waddaya call it?"

"Revolution 60!"

All this Twitter and I still don't understand what's going on in her icon. What part of that tan expanse is her neck? Why is there a diagonal fold in it? Is she just being an accordion to get a more flattering angle?

That's probably the scar from when they removed the Adam's Apple.

It's the botched tranny equivalent of a fat girl angle shot. She looks maybe 10% less like a dude aimed that way.

Exactly. From the front, Wu's real gender is unbelievably obvious, which makes the whole feminist angle Wu is going for laughable as hell, especially since, as a guy myself, I can spot male facial structure a mile away.

If anything, it's guys like this that make me feel TERFs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) actually have a valid point, since not only are they right about people like Wu having no right to speak for women born with all the standard female plumbing, but more importantly because Wu is a textbook definition of a privileged white male hijacking feminism for their own gain.

Edit: Just want to add I have nothing against transsexuals not making assholes of themselves, but everything against those milking it for pity and money like this lolcow.

So, I dunno if this has been mentioned anywhere yet but apparently Brianna is apparently gonna be the author of the "gaming" segment of a book about Women in Tech.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/tarahwheelervanvlack/women-in-tech-the-book

The still have 8 days left to go on this and they did a little less than 7k raised to get the funding, but I just find it curious that of all the women they could possibly get to write a part about gaming, they had to get Brianna.

Bonus points- apparently the woman running this Kickstarter, Tarah Wheeler Van Vlack, is on some of the SJWs shit list, which might mean we'd be looking at an upcoming Twitter meltdown. Prepare your goggles.

Probably O/T, but the wife and I saw "Jupiter Ascending," written and directed by the two Wachowskis, including transwoman Lana Wachowski. It still treats women as objects -- the main character spends most of her time in the movie getting kidnapped and rescued. She does beat up one guy at the end, before needing to get rescued again. And of the three heirs to the alien empire, the female one mostly advances the exposition by undergoing a youth treatment to look pretty. My wife was pretty disappointed in its depiction of women, but we had fun laughing at the movie, so there's that.

They have twice as many transwomen as black women writing the book. That will be fun.

The Wu chapter will write itself. "Look at all the abuse I got!"

This cannot be fucking real. Guess 3,000 years of antisemitism don't mean much.

Yes, because the only people who were oppressed and in poverty were non-Hetero non-CIS gendered people who were not Caucasoid.

Speaking of Ironic:

But I thought that it was classist/ableist to make fun of people for dropping out of college? Most people who drop out of college do so because of monetary reasons, because they can't keep up with their courses, and/or because they feel like they'll be happier/more productive by just entering the workforce. Why would you demean someone for that? It's not like everyone needs to have a degree.

I dunno, this just seems pretty problematic to me, Brianna. Not everyone has parents with deep pockets. Your privilege is showing.

Isn't this, like, the only time she's even acknowledged that she is transgendered? She spends approx. 8000 tweets speaking as a woman for every woman ever and raving about male privilege while overlooking her past as one (a rich, white one at that). Did her oppression levels just now reach the point that she can speak for the transgendered, a community she ignores and actually seems to want no part of?

Go fuck yourself, Wu.

Her real life gender related experiences and journey only matter when her FEEL BAD FOR ME meter is running low.

N-no, but it's GAMERGATE'S fault because they'll twist her words or something! Bitching about the same shit over and over again is way more important than speaking for trans people!

Also, I can't wait until she somehow ties the oppression of trans people to Gamergate.
