The ellipsis stands for 'beats the fuck out of me when I disobey her' right?

Gross. Even their twitter flirting seems insincere, as if Brianna thinks that the whole world wants (needs?) to witness it or it didnt happen.
Reminds me of the video of them discussing their "harassment", with huge smiles, when recounting the comments suggesting Frank's teensie endowment.
If anyone hasn't seen it, it's shudder-worthy. Brianna's body language, like Snake Pliskinist said, is so off-putting....
Again, it's like a charade of female affection and doting.
Can't you two, oh i dunno, have your special moments in private, like everyone else on earth?

...they tweeted, from opposite ends of the couch in their completely silent living room.
Don't know how effective this is, but found this Twitter account for unsuspending other Twitter accounts, might be useful if anyone wants to try getting Twitter to release the suspensions of anyone brigaded against by the SJWs.

Says they aren't officialy sanctioned by Twitter, so I doubt it's worth anything.
Also found this, basically change.org for Twitter
http://twitition.com/
Found some articles that suggest appealing to these accounts could get accounts unsuspended

Hope this doesn't count as trolling plans or anything, just want to provide information in case Wu or anyone Wu is buddies with decides to brigade anyone else off Twitter for spurious reasons and anyone with a Twitter wants to protest.

I'm going to take a moment and suggest that if you aren't a filmmaker, it's not great to play jury on this subject.

By the way, for those interested:
The relevance Revolution 60 has to the game's title is a reference to the corrupted Chessboard AI's attempt to go rogue and take over the world.
I feel dumber having known this.
Later on, when I finally get a plot synopsis of this fucking thing done, if I'm remotely sane by the end of this, I'm going to crawl into bed with a bottle of Amaretto and have a good cry.

Found a Tumblr that contains the greatest hits of SJWs hatred, death threats (from them, not to them), and other evidence they want to control Twitter and drive off all heretics to their cause. Contains a lot of shit from Brianna Wu that shows he should have been booted off Twitter a long time ago.

Yup, it's up to white people to save the day because niggers don't know what they're doing, am I right John?
Saw this post on GethN7's blog, aimed at both us and Twitter:
http://gethn7.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-short-post-but-one-i-want-kiwi-farms.html
tl;dr - I am publicly gutting myself to apologize for any offense I may have committed to Brianna Wu, harassing was never my intention and I denounce anyone who would. FYI, don't support the mocking of Wu on the Kiwi Farms, but thanks for any moral support, sent a link to this to Twitter in my suspension appeal.

That's OK Geth, we love you either way.
Kiwi farms is a meritocracy in all aspects; we judge people solely on what they say and do. Not on what they claim to be or what they pretend to be.

We don't mock Wu as a person as much as we do her autistic ramblings on twitter and her supposed game Dev skills. Edit: Basically what @Sweet and Savoury said.

Geth, dude, that's fine man. Kiwi Farms welcome everyone with open arms.
Well, as long as you don't name yourself anything related to rail or something.

Main guy writing the Brianna Wu article and its attached sub-articles for lolcow wiki here.
First, let me say I have nothing but respect for you. What you did showed more bravery and integrity than many, and that's not something I say lightly.
That said.
I want to make clear the reason we chronicle Wu (especially on lolcow wiki). Before I can do that, here's a breakdown:
Wu's involvement with Gamergate is almost entirely prevaricated on a series of lies and fabrications. She claims to be harassed because of widely-debunked hoaxes and things she herself made up (See: Operation FalseFag II or Jace in general), and lies so easily and so often it's genuinely easier to pick out when she tells the truth than when she does not. She also is constantly inflammatory to stir up controversy, and is essentially a case-study in everything about corruption in games journalism (seriously, 97% of glowing articles Revolution 60 has recieved are from people Wu personally knows). She is enabled by a horde of despicable people whom act as a private army enabling her to harass, threaten, and attack people without consequence, give her money, and hang on her every word. She shrieks constantly about privilege (whilst being fucking ridiculously wealthy), and claims to constantly have a history, education, and credentials she does not. The most horrible aspect of Wu is that she thinks nothing of using her army and connections to ruin someone's life if she thinks it suits her. The Tim Hunt scandal (which Wu was involved with) is a good example, but I've had personal conversations with people who know Wu IRL - and who've said that if Wu feels you're an enemy, she will do everything and then some, no matter how foul, to bring ruin to you.
She is unlikely to ever be called to task for any of these. Hell, you lived it. I'd relish the chance to hear from you your own experiences on the subject, but I'm fairly certain it only mirrors what we've already heard and seen. You're not the first one to have the cult unleashed on you, and as we saw from Twitter earlier today, won't be the last.
In a vacuum, Brianna comes across as just one more horrible person on the interbutts, but to a lolcow chronicleer, she's a fascinating case-study. In Wu's analysis, one sees shades of almost every lolcow we've ever covered, from our dear CWC (Brianna is often, correctly, described as Chris with a budget), to Vade (cult leader with delusions of grandeur, though unlike Wu Vade actually has a body count), to Andrew Dobson and back again. It's like every single worst trait of multiple lolcows congealed and formed into that which we now call Brianna Wu.
And in that regard, lolcow wiki does its job. It seeks to be as informative as possible about truly despicable people, of whom Wu is definitely one of them. Wu's article has been a monumental undertaking and it's taken me significantly longer than even Vade's article to even crack the surface.
I work damn hard to establish an NPOV on these articles, and with the likes of Wu, this is almost never easy, as she is someone who is an absolutely terrible person, a gigantic egomaniac, and who believes wholeheartedly that she alone should get to make the rules, and what is and is not relevant. And in this regard, what lolcow wiki does is essential. When the wiki helped bring about Vade's downfall, it did more than just bring a lolcow to the public light, it dragged Vade, kicking and screaming, into a place where the rules of her personal hugbox did not apply. A land where her actions would be held to account, and no amount of her usual tactics of blaming and shaming would save her ass. For the first time, it made people aware of who she was, what she was, and why.
And that's why I feel what we do here is so important. Yes, admittedly, a lot of us are watching because Wu's chimp-outs and fails are hilarious to watch, but under it, spreading awareness is ultimately Wu's kryptonite. Look up Brianna Wu on google and you have about three pages of shit extolling her before even a hint of criticism starts, the bulk of which are articles written or covered by friends and associates of hers. Almost all of them cover things Wu is openly fucking lying about. Remember the time she was forced from her home? That was over a fucking Something Awful hoax, was widely known to be a hoax literally hours after the account got banned, Something Awful took credit for it, and Wu still fucking claimed legitimacy! And we know she never left her home, either!
So with this in mind, noble Geth, I must respectfully disagree. Wu needs to be taken down a peg - not by means of threats or insults, but by the simple process of chronicling her actions and letting them stand so others may view them. If people get laughs out of her spergier moments, more power to them, but awareness is invariably my goal when I do articles.

Brianna's Q&A did an amazing job of not only avoiding answers but actually insulting the people who asked the questions.
"How did you afford to make a game?"
"Renovated a relative's house"
"How did you learn to program?"
"WHOA! This feels like a trap"
Most of the information she gives has NOTHING to do with the questions yet somehow stay on the topic of her and answering things that were never asked. It's like asking someone what their name is but instead you get ten minutes of rambling that reveal what their shoe size was in the 2nd grade and what they had for lunch three weeks ago.
