Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Kosher Dill]

The part about "waaahhhhh no trans characters" is hilarious, considering that Brianna herself isn't even open about her transgender status. You'd think she of all people would realize that not every trans person wants to parade it out front and center.

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.

She also has an XBL account.

Weird. I actually feel some pity for Wu. He only sees the negative aspects of everything. Not because they're extremely apparent, but because he needs to find something to feed his victim complex. That's a damn terrible way to live.
The pity is instantly diminished when I see him acting hypocritical, bigoted and downright uneducated about the things he preaches.

Looks like we have a winner. That's one down. Well-done, tepid. You are kredit to Kiwis.

UPDATE: We found her gamertag. Fittingly, she has an Xbone. Her gamerscore is quite low for someone who's owned a console as long as she has, and, fittingly, shows her usual favorite games - Peggle, Tomb Raider, and Life is Strange.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

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,

Bullshit. I still have a collector's artbook for 3 somewhere, but 4 is a better overall game. 3 has better aesthetics but 4 has fewer weird design decisions.

Edit: Has our shitty point of confusion said anything about Ciri from the Witcher 3 yet?

Oh, and since people wondered...

It's a long way off.... But guess who's about to get the Vade treatment.

"The silent killer of all great men and women of achievement - particularly men, I don't know why, maybe it's the testosterone - I think it's narcissism. Even more than hubris. And for women, too. Narcissism is the killer."

If you don't like apsects of a certain culture, such as...I don't know let's say violence in video games... Why create something that contribute to that aspect?

The answer is because Rev60 is garbage and Wu is a fucking hypocritical idiot.

 

[John Titor]

* 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.

Did you mean VIII? She was sperging pretty hard about VIII.

I found a more in-depth look at her game history...

(just use the address you gave and take off the "xbox-one" part- it doesn't show her Xbox One history, but her 360 history. )

Some interesting things I noticed:

• Her average game completion is only 16%
• Downloaded Beyond good and Evil, but apparently never bothered to play it.
• Barely even played Fez
• Apparently owns a copy of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.
  
• Only games she's appeared to have put any real effort into playing is Mass Effect 2, Enslaved, Gears of War 3 (huh, okay), Dragon Age: Origins, and Alpha Protocol.

If it is correct though that user usual online Gamertag is Spacekatgal, her PSN account is even more damning: 222 games she has played, but only a 14.94% completion rate. (Edit: info already found about the PSN account. My bad.)

Back when people were questioning Anita Sarkeesian's gaming cred, I figured her interest wasn't so much in gaming as in cultural criticism from a certain feminist lens; she only chose games because they've become the in-thing entertainment for millennials (and are still stereotyped as predominantly male). Maybe Brianna Wu is jumping on the same bandwagon, albeit with even less sincerity since she started out a pretty reactionary guy who was willing to call Middle Eastern people "sand niggers". She cares less about games than she does exploiting politics in a popular subculture.

EDIT: Oh, and about her whole "iOS only" position...honestly, I prefer my desktop and PS3 for gaming over any mobile OS. But maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

Basically, she's just doing SEO on herself. She used to do the same job not too long ago, but she did it for PUAs. Some feminist.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

Not really a big surprise.

Just look at Rev60, and ask " is this a game someone who loves games would make?"

It's more like a book with QuickTime events and a retarded plot.

Wu is as much a gamer as he is a woman.

I don't think the anti-GG SJWs like games at all. They just want to ruin something perceived as being liked by white males. They'd just get laughed at if they tried to take away sports, so they're picking on nerds. They just didn't calculate on the nerds hitting back.

There's only so many times they can say "we hate/are killing video games" without the bulk of the populace determining that to be true.

Indeed. SJWs' approach on gaming involves little or no actual gaming, or gaming culture at all; just insane politicization, oppression points calls and generic attention whoring; and Wu is a perfect poster child for this: a totally irrevelant developer who jumped the (anti)GG wagon in order to gather the visibility she will never manage to achieve by her talent and her work. Her knowledge about videogames is laughable at best, her overall understanding of what she plays is depressingly limited and narrow minded. I'm sure she doesn't enjoy games at all, other than anything she perceives as matching her agenda (plus Peggle). Something you can easilly apply to any major anti-GG voice.

(BTW, hi everyone, first post here after longtime lurking, sorry in advance for my English, not native speaker)

I'm among the school of oldschool DOOMers who believe that the fact that Doomguy can run at 90 km/h, but is unable to jump and can carry a shitload of weapons and ammo must mean that he's in fact a paraplegic veteran in an armored battle wheelchair.

Also - not a main protagonist, but I like this character:

Woman of Color, possibly autistic!

Wu was definitely into games when he was officially male, specifically passionate about Parasite Eve and Space Channel. But I also feel maybe Wu had kinda grown out of games (he's just a little bit too old to be in the generation where gaming past 28 was acceptable) but decided to re-immerse when the animation company and everything else crumbled. Her game-playing is pretty pitiful really, not a single platinum on PSN, most gamers have at least one game they played fully to completion, her highest completion is Farcry Blood Dragon which is a DLC length title which is hard not to complete.

Nah Depends what u mean by Completetion, if u mean all main storyline and side quests and beating the game on the hardest difficulty, then definitely. However finding all the hidden Items and tedius shit like that is usually just consulting a walk through, usually only the autistic bother or care about 100 percent, unless you really love and respect a game like for me I like spec ops the line a lot and I've been thinking of 100ing that game. also I play a lot of older games, ive spent around 150 hours playing guilty gear x2 reload over the past vs cpu and couple of months, havent touched campaign. Also Ive played tf2 for about a year now and ive only got like half the achievements yet
Tldr 100 percent isnt indicative of gaming level
