But the player character will still be white, won't she? So it still won't count towards her quota
Also if there is no straight white males who is she going to male the villains, POC women? Because I don't think her SJWs friends would like that very much.

And later on, a black (or at least mixed race) girl.

As for disabled/gay protagonists. Grand Theft Auto V once again. All three protagonists have some form of mental illness and Trevor is not exactly straight.

Trevor and Franklin don't count because they have to share the limelight with Michael, who has the gall to be a white, heterosexual man. In Brianna's eyes a minority only "counts" if they are the absolute centre of focus the entire time. If at any point the game focuses on a white male, he immediately overtakes the game through force of presence, thus overshadowing the minorities.

Well that's his own problem. I can't be blamed (well I can being white cishet male scum but there's no ground for it!) if Wu-Wu is going to disregard quite possibly the most deep and emotional game to be released thus far.

Seriously. Look at GTA V as a psychological thriller, or as a study into Jungian concepts!

I just noticed something. Sorry if this is late or unrelated, but since Bri has started calling herself "Imperator" I wanted to find out what the word actually meant. I knew it was Latin for a high-ranking ruler but I found out it actually translates to "Commander" and it's where we get the word "Emperor" from via a French translation of the Latin. However, "Imperator" is the masculine version of the word. The feminine version would have been "Imperatrix".

Basically Brianna is denying her femininity. A Freudian slip?

 

[Positron]

To be fair to him, English is not Latin. The -er, -or suffix in English is gender-free, and the only common English word with the -rix suffix is dominatrix (there is another legal term that I forgot). We don't call a female director a "directrix".

And your mission control is a guy with a wasting disease that kills the head of facebook and fucks up a chopper.

is she still doing the university lecture circuit? I feel like she won't ship R60 on Steam until she runs out of lecture gigs.

Directrix sounds way cooler. I want to be a directrix now.

I wonder if Wu will keep adding titles to her twitter handle until one day we're addressing her as "Her Honourable Imperator Princeps Senatus Brianna Wu Rex".

Retards will be easier to identify now. Thanks Wu

Did a bit of datacrunching with a friend. Here's some info:

* Wu has a 3DS. Usage statistics are unknown but it's very clear that she relatively rarely uses it and mostly has it for scoping out the competition. Assuming Wu's a first-timer and actually does own a DL'ed copy of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, she's played it for at least 3 hours.

* Wu owns a 360, or at least her husband does. Her Gamertag is currently unknown though we're working hard to figure out what it is so we can get a break-down of the games she owns and her Gamerscore.

* She also has a PS4, though nobody knows her PSN handle yet. To coin a phrase from OPL: we're workin' on it.

* Wu is a self-proclaimed RPG nut. She has played every Final Fantasy game currently available on IoS. She also claims to be a fan of Persona, has a godless love of Parasite Eve, and thus, has something in common with many RPG fans, right? Well, no. In reality, Wu herself has fucking ridiculous tastes in video games; Her favorite FF game is purportedly XIII, her favorite Persona game is, according to idle chit-chat I've picked up from sites she's active on, is 4, which, though a good game, is widely considered the weakest entry in the series, and her favorite Parasite Eve game, after declaring it TEH BEST GAME SERIES EVER is The Third Birthday (which is widely-considered the death knell of the franchise, is pretty openly disrespectful towards the series, and represents a complete character genocide against everyone in the series' canon to date). The running theme is that Wu locks onto only the shiniest games out and doesn't care much for the work's actual quality, even in a genre she claims to enjoy.

* As has been said, Wu's a huge fan of David Cage. She has thus far said nothing about other devs who tend to make narrative games with an emphasis on interactive storytelling such as Swery 65 or Suda, but given that Wu's a fucking poster child for flash over substance, it's a good bet she's never played anything by either. Then gain, given that Deadly Premonition features some content Wu would consider problematic, and Suda essentially gives zero fuck and respects no authority, this is probably for the best.

* Wu's preferred platform is most assuredly iPhone/iPad. She uses it, by all accounts, nearly 3 times as much as her other consoles combined. She owns literally every i-thing in existence: Almost every iPhone dating back nearly a decade, the iPad, Apple Watch, and more. She believes strongly that Apple TV is going to be the BESTEST THING EVARS, which ignores that most people actually already have like 4 platforms that will do what it does. If we're factoring in costs, Wu is a bigger nut for costly bullshit than Chris is, and that's a hell of a metric to catch up to.

* According to an unsourced report, Wu frequently makes Frank play games she's interested in, rather than play them herself.

* Wu claims to enjoy Metal Gear Solid, but given her lackluster taste in games and relative lack of ability to git sufficiently gud, likely has Frank play them whilst she watches, given above information.

More as we dig it up. The ongoing bounty is finding the Wu Family Gamertag and PSN screen-name. We're eager to see what her library is and how much she's actually played, since, like Wu herself, it's likely to be a holocaust of disappointment.

 

[Francis York Morgan]

her favorite Persona game is, according to idle chit-chat I've picked up from sites she's active on, is 4, which, though a good game, is widely considered the weakest entry in the series,

Slight sperging but no way is Persona 4 the weakest game in the Persona series. The first game's characters are barely developed and the story is kind of meh. As a huge fan of the SMT games, if someone were to tell me that their favorite RPG was Persona 4 I probably wouldn't bat an eye. Especially given that

Spoiler

one of the characters has deep gender identity issues. Oh hey! That's another point to the "Brianna Wu is full of shit" column with her Twitter research.

Rest of that is pretty spot-on analysis. As I said before, I don't see much evidence that suggests she plays games for very long.

Guess which game has every one on those list except two?

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

It's true of both campaigns.

Echo Six includes a gay male commanding officer (Dee-Ay), a white female southerner intel specialist (party girl), a saucy brit demo specialist with hearing difficulties (Tweed), a field scientist from Zimbabwe who is in Echo Six out of revenge for what Umbrella did in Africa (Shona), A former american biker turned field medic (Harley), and a half-native american stealth specialist (Willow).

Delta Team includes a PTSD-afflicted former french military soldier who looks at her squad members as family (Lupo), an Autistic savant field scientist (Four-Eyes), a disabled demolitions specialist (Beltway), a psychotic german medic with sadistic tendencies (Bertha), a Russian serial blackmailer (Spectre), and an Asian amnesiac USS soldier with loyalty issues (Vector).

The most fun part of this is that the protagonists of ORC never rub this shit in your face. It's all secondary to how they play and how the game itself is. Indeed, you'll only find out about half of these if you dig up their dossiers in their profile data. None of this is done flippantly or just inclusion for inclusion's sake, they're actually all pretty badass and each one is dripping with personality in-game. Operation Raccoon City was by no means worth it at launch, but it's a damned good game (once you patch the thing and get the actual DLC that was supposed to be free but then Capcom fucked up on) in both single and multiplayer. It's also apparently inclusive as all fuck and the SJWs won't touch it because it's violent and has zombies and death and guns.

Why in the name of all the fucks someone would want to play as someone with autism?, if she want games with Trans people, japan is full of that shit, gays? oh boy dont make me start there because every mention, every whispers of that will attract one of the worst fandom of the weeabo spectrum even i, High master of weeboism fear them

also disabled persons uh... well brianna forgot this game, POC? Black people? OH BOY HOW SHE DARE TO FORGOT THIS GAME (i played the N64 version, good old times)

gay people? persona 2 i dont know if that details was removed from the PSP edition but there was this guy Jun who was gay as fuck, also did she forgot Danganronpa 1? there is a FUCKING TRANS in there

come on in japan, if a game has cute girls at least one is lesbian, if a matter of fact, same as cute boys..... im still trying to forget those CG'S of Dramatical murder

the dog... the fucking dog....

@Jaimas, godspeed to you and the others working on this.

As for liking The 3rd Birthday, I think my brain blew a fuse. Not only is it the shittiest entry in the series and an in name only PE game when you get down to it, it proves Wu is lying jackass when he likes games with strong female protagonists because the main character is, even without going into spoilers, a mindless robot who basically is led around by the nose for the whole game.

Then again, given how Wu wants to make people mindless sheeple of his way of doing things, kinda reinforces that argument in that SJW bestiary thread you made about Wu being a cultural hegemonist.

Also, Persona 4, as in the game that beats you over the head with the idea you have to accept the shitty aspects of yourself and own up to them lest they control you? Are you sure Wu played this, cause I don't think he got the message.

You know, I had a head-to-desk moment right now for not remembering this earlier.

You know know how Wu was bitching about how not having any minoriies, disabled characters, whatever...?

Created by fucking Suda51.

Let's see, you have eight playable characters:

Harman Smith - an aging old man bound to a wheelchair.
Dan Smith- The white guy, but is in constant conflict with half of the team.
Mask de Smith - A lucador whose gigantic pysique hides a soft-spoken personality.
Garcian Smith - A professional black man and essentially the ringleader for the Smith Syndicate.
Coyote Smith - A Puerto Rican thief
Kaede Smith - a female assassin from Portland packing a handcannon. Extremely useful during boss encounters.
Kevin Smth - A mute (autistic?) homosexual assassin
Con Smith - A blind youth and the fastest of the group.

So, let me put it this way: the guy who made Killer is Dead, Lolliop Chainsaw, and No More Heroes has made a more "politically correct" game than Brianna Wu could ever hope for.

 

[Rin]

Katawa Shoujo. Entire cast is disabled.

Of course, despite having a general theme of treating both your partner and people with disabilities with respect, the sex scenes probably make it unfeminist or something.

 

[bloodcoffee]

So, she's racist as fuck and does no research. Fantastic. No shame.

It still kills me that the only time Bri has looked sane to me was when Chloe "pain meds" Sagal messaged her for advice.

you can disable it if you want, but doing that is a form of ableism, why in the hell people with dissabilities cant get laid? check your waifu privileges m8

 

[Dr. Boe Jangles Esq.]

Her favorite FF game is purportedly XIII

How is that physically possible? I get that taste is subjective, but FF XIII was objectively awful, and I can't believe anyone could enjoy it. It reads like a how-to for shitty game design. Uninspired, linear levels, a painfully boring and convoluted combat system, over-designed and cluttered visuals, and the story is a narrative travesty to boot.
I'm beginning to see why she feels R60 is excusable.

Katawa Shoujo. Entire cast is disabled.

Of course, despite having a general theme of treating both your partner and people with disabilities with respect, the sex scenes probably make it unfeminist or something.

Enjoying sex or sexuality in any way, shape, or form, is internalized patriarchal oppression.

Sorry if I've missed something but is there any reason to believe this isn't her?

Spoiler

Going through her game shelf the titles I can make out/recognise are all there. We also have heavy Peggle usage (All DLC and 50% of the trophies), Danganronpa (her GOTY last year), plenty of final fantasy, Space Channel 5.

Just seems too many coincidences especially with Space Channel and the Peggle trophies.
