The idea of Wu doing self-harm and blaming it on GG is actually really possible, honestly. Hell, Milo delayed that article on her for months because he didn't want her hurting herself. I wouldn't put it past her to see something like that happen in a fewweeks, honestly. Maybe around the time PAX happens?

Oh god..... A convention? Where a female dev is talking about a game? She's gonna try to recreate the SVU opening act. Calling it now. We will hear on twitter how 'go home gamer gurl' and she was assaulted in a restroom and how 'pax did nothing about it'

Oh, Zoe is several times worse. Wu's ultimately a harmless, delusional idiot that craves fame. Zoe?

Zoe's a legit sociopath, as far as I can tell. The more you read about her, the worse she gets. The only reason we don't have a thread about her is because, unlike Wu, she's usually pretty smart about hiding her sperg outs. She deleted her reaction to Wu's Oppression Olympics shit literally seconds after making it. She's very calculating about hiding her tracks, which is why /gamergate/ has literally made entire preservation services like Tweetsave.

Wu never quite thinks her shit through. It's like watching someone run into a glass door over and over and over. It gets kind of sad after awhile, since you'd think they'd learn their lesson.

Guess that's the difference between a lolcow and a regular horrible person, hm?

"If you come to my house, you're going to see padlocks on the upstairs and downstairs basement. My husband has a secret knock that he uses when he comes into the house because it's terrifying to me every time someone knocks on my door," Wu said.

What the fuck is an upstairs basement? Does she also have a downstairs attic?

It's actually hilarious that this stupid ass thinks padlocks inside the house will do anything other then give an intruder a reason to just bash the door down.
If the door was strong enough to withstand that would have deadbolts. At best the padlocks would prevent people who are supposed to be there from getting in.
It's just more bull shit from someone that's convinced that she's the smartest person in the room at any given time.
Edit: oh and.. there's this

It also slows first responders if you're actually experiencing a real emergency . . . anyone of which is magnitudes more likely than a GG home invasion. Y'know, like fire or medical distress.

Wu is upping the stupidity with every tweet. :roll:

heh, it would be an o'henry style story if she is unable to get needed help because of a door she padlocked to keep her safe from her own imagination.

Wu's hard times are nothing but an insult to a guy who literally lived off donated food, a guy who comes from what is a third world country. As some could say, Wu is just a first world problem sort of person.

To me, it's comforting. Sometimes I feel bad about coming from an affluent background. Going through university, I saw my friends all working to pay their way through everything. I never had to do anything like that. I got a very easy ride. It makes me feel like some 1% guy or something.

Then I realize - Don't worry, Daario, you aren't so wealthy that your parents handed you $200k to experiment.
 
Apologies for A-Logging here, but fuck it...

I just read this whole thread (I usually lurk on the Wizdumgun and Sick Nick threads and finally decided to build up the courage to share my opinions with you fine people), and Wu-man's victim complex is irritating to me. Especially in regards to him trying to be the champion of women in tech.

My wife and I work for a flight simulation company (I'm in training, she's a software engineer that is now a project manager) and I see the day to day struggles female engineers have here (the company is 80% men and 95% male in engineering). Aerospace and commercial flight technologies are generally very male dominated and the issues Wu "suffers" through are real in our industry. I have seen my wife (and many friends) ignored, talked down to and generally shit on by men even though they are good engineers and have great ideas.

Wu claiming to be a spokerman for people who really struggle to find space in tech drives me nuts. Of course #notallmen are like this, of course. But someone pretending to be a victim when people really do deal with this crap drives me nuts.

Thankfully, Wu is going to be ignored by most people in the tech industry and she is fun to laugh at. I just wish she could see the real struggles female engineers have to deal with and just work on her shitty bloatware game.

Edit: I noticed a typo because I am a fat fingered wanker.

Oh man, so apparently Wu had coffee with Brad Wardell, who is a prominent pro-GG developer. She said something along the lines of 'we disagree on Gamergate but have similar business practices'.

Anti-GG has been flipping the fuck out all day and turning on her. Get your popcorn ready, boys, the best is about to begin. :popcorn:

One person who replied to Brianna wrote that Wardell has "offer[ed] work to Shredded Moose who draws revenge porn of GG’s targets". I believe this is a reference to comic strip of Zoe Quinn giving a blowjob to a gaming journalist in order to get good reviews (I'm too lazy to dig it up right now). I've looked at Zoe's twitter and so far she hasn't responded, I hope that she'll start a spat with Brianna.
