What passes for job recruitment for Wu:

So there's a person (most likely a strong womyn not a dirty male scum) out there who gets 3000 dollars/month for "dealing" with Wu's hatemail? What does that person even do? Delete her e-mails? Censor "tranny" or any other similar word? Stalk wikipedia and edit back any mention of Brianna starting as John?
 
I think Wu used the wrong punctuation in there.

"REALLY tired of this lie; I don’t make a dime off my Patreon. It funds a dedicated employee for handling harassment."

There we go, now it checks out! Or maybe it was a : but either way, "not making money off of the free money system" is a piss-poor lie.

You'd think one person filtering mean tweets doesn't need 30 grand a month. Is she not aware that there are charities for homeless trans youths and victims of police abuse?

But THOSE people aren't making revolutionary video games and blazing a trail for female developers to finally get their start in the video game industry.

Clearly Wu needs it more.

You're right. If only there was something, I don't know, like a summer camp specifically designed to teach young females the basics of game development. Surely Wu would have gotten behind something like that long ago.

As far as I know, they didn't have any contact with GSX, but Double Fine was kind enough to have them pay their studio a visit last month.
 
This is refreshing, looks like Wu is telling the relatively unvarnished truth for once:




Also, I wonder if Wu is aware there are archives of all his fuckups and lies in case he tells more lies. Hope no :ween: is dumb enough to do that and have Wu protect all his tweets (I doubt he will, he loves the attention too much), but by this point I really wonder if Wu is aware the internet has records of all this shit, and it will come back to haunt him one day.

Considering even Brianna Wu is aware how poorly he hid his past as John Flynt (he can't even outright deny it even now), I would think he has to be slightly self aware.
 
"I totally don't make any money at all from people giving me free money!"

Who is supposed to believe these lies? How dumb does someone have to be to believe Wu?

I actually have an issue with the whole "Privilege" bullshit so I actually went about and responded to Wu.

It was probably an effort in futility, but if I had a list of pet peeves from the Internet, anyone using "privilege" unironically would probably be high on that list.

I saw you were really polite about that, here's hoping you don't somehow get silenced by the SJW brigade for politely refuting/calling Wu out.

So okay, white people don't get to say anything about racism.

Unless they're whitey Wu. Then they can talk about it all day long because muh privilege.

Doesn't make a lick of sense, but then, ad hominem reasoning rarely does.
 
Earlier today I was walking home from the grocery store. I gave a homeless black guy one of the two gallons of water I'd bought, because he looked dehydrated and it's hot as fuck out today. I submit that I did more to help black people today than Wu has with all of her tweets lecturing white people combined.

Fake edit: Not trying to sound like a sanctimonious douche, I swear to god this just happened.

Also, I love it when people say they "only use their white privilege to combat racism" like it's a fucking magical superpower you can turn on and off.
 
John tweets at 66 times the rate of the typical top 10 indie developer of paid iPhone games.

Because he's such a professional.
 
Wu is salty:


Just want to add, he's probably pissed because Gamergate's assault on Gawker is bound to have a ripple effect on places like Kotaku that were up till now parroting his narrative without consequence.
