Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Cucky]

I've been doing datacrunching for the Brianna Wu Article.

Semper fidelis kiwi. I'm getting the feeling that soon you will have put as much effort into Wu as Wu put into Rev60 and i'm afraid you'll both end up with the same result, pretty much nothing.

Au contraire. I'll have the smug satisfaction of chronicling another lolcow's descent into madness.

Idle thought: What's your favorite Wu moment?

Mine is Gamerfruit, when she attacked Dice Europe Ltd because she thought they were EA's DICE Studios (developers of Battlefield). This led to the confused produce shipper to become staunchly pro-Gamergate and led to the #Gamerfruit meme (post an image of fruit with your console/platform of choice to show your love of gaming and fresh fruit), which, six months hence, is still one of my favorites.

Hey, don't sell yourself short! Your work will be viewed and appreciated by a lot more people than Wu's.

You know, I actually do plan on studying game design at a small private college down in San Diego, starting after summer. I haven't settled on a dream project yet (I have lots of ideas bouncing around in my restless imagination), but I am totally tempted to, um, start off with an improved, non-iOS version of her Revolution 60 project. Or at least a parody, if there were enough story from her source material to spoof. I even have some (redesigned) concept art for her protagonist Holiday sketched up and colored in Photoshop:

Spoiler: Concept Art for Redesigned Holiday

Not the best art you've ever seen, I'm sure, but at least it one-ups Mrs. Wu on the whole diversity theme.

This art reeks of mansplaining. You're just doing this because you want to impress womyn, you don't actually care about WoC and their struggles.

Nah, that character looks really freakin' cool. I love the way you designed her outfit

 

[Functional Animal]

I like how you made the poofy hair thing work and it doesn't look like a god damn ballsack.

Apparently, when I shared that pic of mine on Twitter, even Wu herself was impressed:

Apparently she hadn't noticed the quote marks.

Take your bow, my friend. You've earned it.

Begin infiltration mission codename WULOCK

If Wu ever connects that art to an attempt to parody his game and especially connects it to here, how long do you think Wu will take before trying to delete all the evidence he said anything good about it?

I legitimately like the look of this. I'd love to see more games that take place in Africa and involve African cultures and mythology. Of course, the downside is that the second you try this the SJWs will switch from "MOAR DIVERSITY! NO MORE WHITIES!" to "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION! COLONIALISM!"

That would require him prying himself off Twitter.

While drawing this, the idea of a game set in a futuristic Africa did occur to me. Maybe the "parody" could involve that?

That's a good idea. I've only read one story set in a future Africa. It doesn't tend to feature very much in sci-fi.

Maybe the parody can be Chessboard, the secret arm of the CIA specialising in destabilising developing countries (hence Revolution 60), has infiltrated an African nation's first space station in an attempt to frame a neighbouring country and start a war. Cameos by our favourite Bratz.

I'm getting some Peter chung vibes here and I like it

You can use Wakanda as a inspiration for your African setting some kind of futuristic tribal stuff like they have

*Cubano search his note for more ideas

1. "Because it's my life"

2. Lol

3. I think it's a reference to how you complained about lack of diversity of games, even though your game has zero lol

....Because bitching about a consumer revolt is totally what the DoJ should be focused on and totes not shit like the recent electronic break-in at the IRS wherein the identity and personal information of thousands were compromised. No, the fact that some of the shrieking no-talent neon-hair brigade got called mean names on the Twitter is the single most-critical issue this country has ever faced. We totally need to violate everyone's civil liberties just so a few screaming harridans can feel safe.

 

[Positron]

I *love* it when I'm told to make my own games.

Because you can't?

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Do we have any idea how he would react upon finding this place?

He would whine and complain on Twitter, then say he had lodged a complaint to the FBI who were closing in on us, ready to make arrests and shut down our servers. Then he wouldn't do any work on Rev62.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. Having Wu come here and make an ass of himself would be hilarious, but Wu is terrified to say anything outside the Twitter hugbox.
