Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

Wu continues to amaze with her massive store of knowledge

It all boils down to the definition of the word "invent". Ditch your worthless white-cis-men dictionaries and (although it is not my job to educate) wake up to the fact that language is a system of signifiers, rife with power discourse, that ultimately derives its meaning through a genderfluid Différance.

Invent, in the Banana Wu context, may mean:

• To create something for the first time (white-cis-men definition; avoid because very triggering to some).
• To perfect something.
• To make something popular.
• To be noticed by Banana Wu for the first time.
• To come up in Banana Wu's mind at the moment of utterance.
  
• To appear in a Banana Wu game.

It doesn't matter who is right because the mansplaining white cis male is always wrong.

You know...

If there wasn't piles of document proof of Wu's existence I would have trouble believing someone like this could actually exist. I would honestly think that someone trying to pull a fast one over on me but no, Wu is the real deal.

Life is funny.

One of the little tragedies in life is that we know for sure Banana Wu won't pull a Commander Stryker.

Unless Wu was a Jan all along and pulls a deagle nation on GSK.

But I highly doubt that

Did you know that Brianna Wu and Laurelai (NSFW: Encyclopedia Dramatica) are internet friends (I don't know if they had any contact with each other IRL)? Laurelai twitter handle is @stuxnetsource. Her tweets are only viewable for approved users, but using twitter's search engine I managed to find several interactions between her and Brianna. The first documented interaction between the two was on October last year. Further tweets were exchanged between the two on November, but unfortunately only Brianna's side of conversation is viewable. Brianna was also kind enough to post a screenshot of a Facebook conversation she had with Laurelai, suggesting they're FB friends. Nice to know that a pathological liar and a rapist have joined forces to fight for justice.

OMG, Laurelai was a major nuisance on lots of subreddits for a long time. She basically set the bar on excusing asshole behavior because of transness.

Edit 2: Side note: this tweet is great. I can't believe someone said this without even a hint of irony:

That's tone policing!

*edit* the post right below mine brings up the accusation of tone-policing, too. Couldn't have timed it better if I coordinated with them. . . . or did I?

It never fails to amaze me just how frightened these people are of being critical with anyone they believe is a part of their social circle. Wu is blatantly making shit up to get more victim points, they know she is, but they are so afraid of telling her to fuck off for whatever reason. No wonder Wu can get whatever she wants out of them - she's a bully who preys on this sort of wishy-washy, passive crowd.

Oh wow, that last sentence: "But then again, I don't believe in objectivity."

 

[Positron]

If they don't believe in objectivity, how can they tell people are "misgendering" them?

"It's seriously dampened my enthusiasm for coming here and interacting with you."

Edit: More context seems to indicate she's referring to the guy who referred to her as "": https://archive.today/2pThC

>RE 4 invented QTE
>Coffin saying that Shenmue was a failure

those two have never played a videogame in their lifes for what i see

also in 8chan were celebrating about the possible dead of Ghazi

She never ceases to amaze me with her (lack of) humility.

Isn't "well-written" what you say when you have no real opinion and you're just trying to be nice?

Give me A-Log if you want but this is one of the most arrogant fucking things that I have ever seen - and considering I'm reading this thread, that's quite an achievement.

I have NEVER heard anyone unironically praise their own work that they share with others - not professionals and not amateurs whom I know IRL. For professionals - well, it's unprofessional. For amateurs, any creative pursuit undoubtedly has some personal investment in it, so self-deprecation is probably socially acceptable, yes, but helps to defend against criticisms that others may have, whether warranted or unwarranted.

Well I don't think there's much harm in thinking "oh hey I do like how this turned out" or "I think I did pretty well with this!" but this is more "EVERYTHING I DO IS GREAT BECAUSE IT'S ME"

I'm assuming this is related to the most recent article sharted by Brianna. In this piece, Brianna tries to steal Zoe's place as GamerGate's main victim:

The hate group Gamergate exploded in the national consciousness in October when they made threats against me that went viral.

 

[j.peikko]

a congresswoman from mass is calling for the FBI to look into gamergate on wu's behalf. I am curious how many more of wu's sockpuppets will be uncovered if they do so.

Tell me about it. Even Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian were never this unbelievably smug about their own supposed greatness. (as far as I know)

For amateurs, any creative pursuit undoubtedly has some personal investment in it, so self-deprecation is probably socially acceptable, yes, but helps to defend against criticisms that others may have, whether warranted or unwarranted.

And Brianna escapes this conundrum in a magnificent way: she has too big of an ego to care about self-deprecation, too much of a martyr complex to care about avoiding criticism, and too much experience with gaming journalism to care about being professional.
