Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Elegantisimo]

When did Frank and Brianna divorce?

They haven't. She is talking about his ex-wife, Alison McBain.

 

[Super Collie]

Frank used to be married to someone else, but he allegedly beat the piss out of her, if memory serves. They got divorced.

They haven't. She is talking about his ex-wife, Alison McBain.

I know of his previous marriage. My rude joke just fell flat.

 

[Elegantisimo]

I know of his previous marriage. My rude joke just fell flat.

My bad, hehe.

On another note,

And for that we thank you for supporting the patriarchy, Wu. Also watching femfreq doesn't count as feminist media despite the countless times you might have watched it...

4. What do you expect them to do? Have these pregnancy women fight on like a shitty Skyline fight scene?
[MEDIA=twitter]616413441033568256[/MEDIA][MEDIA=twitter]616415992588185600[/MEDIA]

No fuckin' shit a pregnant woman in a disaster situation (aka dwindling population aka that baby is valuable as fuck for the survival of humanity) panics that she's on fire!!
Maybe Anita's just mad no man would want anything to do with her long enough to even knock her up.

 

[millais]

Nah, Anita is a hardcore sex-negative feminist. In that regard she is the antithesis of Wu's "anorexic grrls in skintight catsuits are sooo empowering" philosophy

See, I think you'd want a dude who looked more like him pre-transition. Thanks to the shitty surgery, getting him to look like modern-day Wu wouldn't take long.
My vote:
View attachment 35457

Andy Dick is a far more convincing woman, though.

But seems everyone is getting tired. The "she is mediocre in her critique but is needed" rings more hollow as each day seems clear that she is more desperate for having a attention than making any sort of point. The only apologism I see right now is "She is throwing softball and you getting mad. Neckbeards virgins that get mad at everything" ( thanks NeoGaf splinter forum, thebore, is nice to see even lower discourse than motherfucking /r/neofag) one that doesn't makes a ton of sense since she seems pretty comfortable in getting awards,talking with celebrities, talks or invited at media events even if her critique is pedestrian even by gender studies standards.

Like, even "harassed and threatened" is becoming more laughable as they take their time to rant in Twitter, go to a party in Notch new house and get mad to actual celebrities friends.

Fact is, Wu and her buddies are gradually reaching their end. I brought this up in the Gamergate thread, but the simple fact is the Antis' collective Crazy Train is wholly unsustainable. They need to carefully balance the extremist rhetoric with the sane rhetoric - too extreme, they scare off the non-looneys; too light, they lose the die-hards. The Antis have had a steady fucking bleed of their support for months because of this alone, to say nothing of what's happened with them essentially losing on every fucking front.

All the "Gamers are Dead" crew? Publicly discredited and most are out of a job, no longer covering games anymore, or are in some other way humbled, with the exception of Nathan Grayson, who isn't worth giving a shit over.

All the outlets that ran these? Being subjected to daily fucking boycotts that have cost the companies involved millions.

The various massive media campaigns the Antis have done to flog their e-peens? Resoundingly mocked. Wu and friends talk up a big game, but with GG essentially winning, they're starting to flag. All they can do is claim the harassment angle, which is disproven by their own fucking figures, which has gone on to be a fucking peer-reviewed study. Sorry, Antis - your own numbers don't match your words.

They can't even hold onto hashtags without Gamergate stealing them and making them theirs.

Literally nothing the Antis have done has worked. Demonizing their targets in the mainstream press was a waste of time because the GGers give less than two shits about what the general public thinks about video games (they spent fucking decades being the media's go-to target whenever they needed to point fingers). The damage is being felt all over, and we're about to enter the phase I've longed for for ages: When the Antis start to eat one another.

It's going to be fucking amazing.

The Anti's 'Cannibal Holocaust' will be an event worthy of its own Wiki page. And since all the crazy 'gina worshippers will be run off the web when it happens, the page can be written by some proper editors.

I can't wait until Wu and their cronies get what they deserve. I have a personal grudge against feminism, and I want it gone. We (women) in the Western world don't need it anymore, and it should be put aside so we can focus on fixing all the shit it broke. (DV bias, custody bias, school bias, all that.)

Say I am weening, I don't care. I just hate feminists so goddamn much. I want that movement to burn.

A bit extreme, if you ask me, and I'm male, but I don't hate what feminism as an idea, it still has it place in parts of the world where women are third class citizens, but in regards to what these assholes have perverted it into.......... yeah, that shit needs to be burned at the stake and the ashes need to be buried in salt so nothing can ever grow from there ever again.

So a new article of Wu was just published, https://archive.is/XWXu8

I need to say there are few gems in it

Eh.... ok.

Er... jeez yeah I wonder why they don't think about all this "pressure". Like why go live my life when I just can stay in my room grumpy thinking about 'muh uphression'. Also I know it was just an example but seriously? one and two years old?

Also it is worth mentioning the unbiased writer of the article

Wu in a book, my sides!

[Butta Face Lopez]

I read things like that, and Tina Fey's...insane definition of what "all girls are expected to look like," apparently, and I'm reminded of a small exchange from King of the Hill:

PEGGY: You may not have noticed it, because I wear bold eyeglasses to draw the attention to my head, but your mother has exceptionally long and handsome feet. And until now, I had been tricked by the media into thinking that they were unattractive.
BOBBY: Who? Who in the media tricked you?
PEGGY (after a beat): Bobby, I don't know their names. It's more of a conspiracy.

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

Cool, so someone who grew up as a male is trying to explain all the social pressures young women face.

No seriously. How is this not mansplaining? Wu transitioned when she was in her 30's so she knows about as much of the struggles of young women as I know about, well, the struggles of young women.

Do they even know what the whole point of the Vaults being built was in the first place? I forget which Fallout game had a character say it, but not one of those fucking things (except maybe the one in FO3 by virtue of nobody being allowed to fucking leave period for over 200 years) ever had human survival as a priority as much as they were highly unethical social experiments. Just off the top of my head I know there were the following fun "experiments" in those shelters:
- One had subliminal music playing all the time that gradually drove the entire population murderously insane (ala what Samuel L. Jackson's character pretty much tries to do in Kingsman)
- Another had some stupid "rule" where each year the population had to nominate a sacrifice, except the intended point there was for the population to eventually give the middle finger to that rule whereupon the computer would reveal all the sacrificing was purely unnecessary and then allow people to get the fuck outta there. IIRC there were only five people left when that finally happened (and oh GOD the shit that people did to avoid being named the sacrifice - sexual favors just scratches the surface of that can of worms - it's virtually similar to a sacrificial cult) and four of them got shot by the only guy who left the place alive afterward in an argument
- One vault had an intentionally faulty filtration system - by the time you get there in game, it's full of hostile super-mutants for that reason.
- I don't know if it actually was meant to happen when this one vault was made, but it's full of some weird plant fungus that's pretty much grown over human corpses so they're all plant zombies or something.
- Not really even a vault but holy hell the kind of sexist themes you'll find in the Old World Blues DLC for New Vegas. Of the brain-powered robot monitor scientists, only one of them is female (in comparison, another one can't even speak properly and I don't think you ever learn their gender) and one of the male scientist monitor dudes has some very unresolved problems with particular girls given the data you find about "students" in his bizzare high-school themed death gauntlet "experiment"

Amusingly, the attitude being expressed by Sarkesian and co. about the clearly on-fire woman not helping put the fire out is exactly the kind of attitude appropriate for Fallout's stereotypical attitudes of pre-everything-gets-fucking-nuked civies.

I think the flailing is exaggerated to make a point so the player isn't left wondering why their preggos aren't helping put out the fire. Also, generally speaking, pregnant women's primary concern is their safety and the safety of their child. This is why pregnant police officers aren't asked to remain active when their 9 months pregnant. Its kind of an inbuilt part of the human brain to protect pregnant women. If it wasn't our species probably would have died out by now.

Do the women gain any kind of happiness from being pregnant or giving birth? I don't think it's very feminist of you to ignore their reaction to being with child, Anita.

I'm also pretty sure people thought pregnant women smoking and drinking alcohol while pregnant was not remotely dangerous during the 50's either.

What the problem is when it comes to Anita and Wu is I don't think they understand Fallout is not the future of modern day humanity - sure, it's 200 years after a nuclear war, but while some technology is clearly more advanced despite a 200 year stagnation (Pipboys, commonplace robots with AI, Rad-Away even), they're still using fucking 1950's greentext CRT monitors for everything. Also: apparently China tried to conquer Alaska or something before the nuclear war, so Sarah Palin obviously never was born because no way would China want Alaska if she was alive.

Aren't Oreos racist because they're like a black person who doesn't appreciate their own identity/culture?

That's why they made the vanilla cookie versions.

Why am I not surprised that the one thing the anti mobs resemble more than anything at this point is a dying WH40K Ork WAAGGHH!!? Once the driving momentum is lost, the unified forces begin to break apart and fall into in-fighting or simply abandon the fight altogether to go fight somewhere else more interesting.

Finally someone explains things in terms I can understand.
So basically we have to wait for the anti mobs to build a giant scrap metal idol and turn upon one another over if its meant to be Gork or Mork.
