Get some fifty five gallon drums of water to dilute the sodium, Kiwis, Wu is SALTY:

This is the current pinned tweet on the page of the guy who has been calling Wu on his bullshit over the past couple of days. The tweet in which it's cited Wu is an utter hypocrite for favoriting that "Fuck off" is here

Speaking of that, here's a few tweet threads in which Wu has been called out:

Wu advocating trans people be condescending assholes telling other to "educate themselves":

Wu pimping sleazy clickbait sexist gossip from The Mary Sue

The watch company Pebble made an off color joke, and actually apologized, Wu being a shithead about it:

Wu being unable to accept an apology, Part 2:

i fail to understand why people is afraid of Wu
 
They're not afraid of Wu, they're afraid of his contacts.

Agreed. Wu is just a very loud attention whore, but he's not stupid, hence why he sucks up to people with influence, especially if he gets asspats and especially a feeling of control out of it.

As we saw before Ghazi grew a spine, Wu enjoyed turning Ghazi into a massive circlejerk devoted his partyline, and now they are no longer under Wu's thumb, they are still pretty nutty, but they've had their moments of decency and even agreeance on some matters with their enemies (i.e. - they too think Gawker needs to be thrown in a bonfire like Gamergaters do). Before, Wu forced GamerGhazi to be his personal army, and now he doesn't have a legion of terrified, mindless minions to further his influence.

Wu still has contacts in various media organizations (third rate and partisan though some may be), and if anyone really wanted to cripple Wu and rob Wu of the ability to intimidate his foes, you need to either destroy the links between Wu and the contacts, or make Wu's presence such a liability they will sell Wu out as opposed to dealing with his shenanigans.
 
So I stop looking at the Wu topic for about a month because it seemed like she was spinning her wheels in her oppression cradle and I felt I had better things to do with my time than have someone's Tweets roll my eyes into the back of my head (and because Len became a thing and at least he makes me laugh). Twenty pages later, it's nice to see that the world seems to be moving on from Wu and she's still spinning her wheels in her oppression cradle. She's really what any normal lolcow would be like if they had financial backing, although I admit I think I would be more invested in the antics of Chris-chan, Professional Indie Developer and Comic Book Artist. At least he has ten comics out to Wu's one video game.

Given Wu's massive Twitter feed (as all of her content seems to come from that shit) and all the articles written involving her that are sensationalist or, at the very least, opinion pieces that are about as insightful as your average Tumblr piece, I'm feeling that Wu won't last another year unless she can turn some shitstorm into a way to garner publicity. I think people have stopped giving a fuck about Rev60 even as a joke on how terrible it is and, well, that whole issue on Reddit was just hilarious to hear about. She has a history of alienating her staff so unless she gets a new brand of indoctrinated followers she'll have no one to code her new abomination unless she actually puts some of that experience she flaunts about to actual use (:lol:) or latches onto some other project like some starved parasite, leeching off of other people's work for recognition.

That and I'm convinced that Wu wants to avoid attempting to release another game as much as possible and coast off of how she's "technically" a video game developer without having any limelight on the video games themselves because the best way any cynical Internet group can completely shoot her wah wah feminism in video games whining in the foot is to point out that if Giant Spacekat is the pinnacle of "feminism" video games then "feminist" video games should kindly die in a ditch since Rev60 is the only video game that makes me want to play Ride to Hell: Retribution instead. Unironically.

At this point, all I can really say is... as someone who has never used and is completely unfamiliar with Patreon, Kickstarter, and all of the other crowdfunding stuff besides the concept of it, I really hope that the people that pledge money can request refunds, because it's become obvious to all but the exceptionally delusional individuals that Wu is a Full Time Twitter Spaz. Like, there's one Tweet I remember reading from this topic that strikes out at me:

Both would shit themselves and do nothing.

Because I never consider it a good sign if I have to question for a second whether or not you're being serious or not about a Tweet like that.
 
???????? At first this seemed odd, someone liking R60 so much to even think about fan characters

But upon inspection everything became quite clear...

Either someone has crush on LWu, Lwu payed someone (shocker) or she fails horribly at this. The account is only 1 month old and is mostly (I would say around 3/4) tweets directed to LWu or her company, the other few tweets is her asking why are people following her, and captions of the inspiring courage wolf meme.
 
Someone buy that platform a drink. He has observed a lolcow and replied perfectly.

Wonder if Wu will be passively favoriting her White Knights still or will plaster this Twitter account on her next Tweet bemoaning her trolls again.

Might also be a slow roll troll. Cozying up.
 
Maybe she's sad that her massive number of followers are mostly guilt ridden tech guys who see it as an act of charity ("Just follow accounts like Brianna and Zoe, don't comment on them or tweet at them JUST LISTEN" to quote one such tech guy) and classic tumblrinas who mostly want retweets to utilise her reach. When really what she wants is teen girls looking up to her as an inspiration.
Brianna more or less wishes she was a teenage girl.
 
Fuck me. She's actually going to deliver half of the Kickstarter promise! I suppose Mac users must wait to be disappointed.
I wonder if she actually updated people through Kickstarter or if she is taking the CWC route of assuming that everyone she needs to contact is reading her Twitter.
