Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[LegoTugboat]

So, uhm, someone mentioned us in a tweet? Fucks given?

Well, it is Brianna, so she's probably mentioned us in about 47,000 tweets by now.

So, do we have any idea how Wu came to find this thread? I only ask because earlier today someone brought up the idea in the Len thread of trying to trick Len into attacking Wu, and was specifically told not to by Hellblazer in order to avoid this sort of shitstorm, so it just seems like a bit of coincidence that we got this later the same day.

49,600+ tweets and counting at this point.

I don't like the GG environment, so I try to stay out of this thread. I will say this, though- calling out people for having no lives when you know nothing about them and have just 49,600+ tweets and a widely-panned video game to your name is more than a bit ridiculous.

Interesting point. That whole cosmodrome website went right back up the second we mentioned it was down as well.

I´m studying to make videogames too Wu, I´m also a woman like you but unlike you I want to make games that don´t look like licensed PS1 games and I don´t want to use the "poor woman card" to gain succes.

 

[Positron]

So much mansplaining and richsplaining.

It's been almost a full year since Gamergate kicked off and I think Wu is the only one in her social circle who didn't know about the Farms until now.

Hell, her own personal attack dog (who Jace outsmarted in what was supposed to be a rigged interview) has an account on here, no less. I'm surprised the three-iteration GG thread alone didn't attract Wu here sooner.

 

[Cynical]

So talking about someone who made their actions public is wrong?

 

[tepid]

Guys… I think she's pissed that she only got a 409 page thread and the elegant Ms CWC got a WHOLE FORUM.

Sonichu 100% confirmed as being more culturally significant than her game and tweets combined

my assistant was on maternity leave, and I was just overwhelmed

Rocket is pregnant?

Maybe Wu was running low on pity point generators and saved this info for a rainy day?

Keep telling yourself that, sad sack who got tits because you were a failure as a man.

Our thoughts about you exactly

[MEDIA=twitter]626242850674634753[/MEDIA]

Y'know, if we're really not worth getting angry over, why are you getting salty? Just turn off the computer and walk away, Wu. Work on RevPC or some shit.

But of course, you're more interested in having a claim to fame instead of actually making a game, which is why RevPC has taken ages to get released (ignoring the fact she did damn little on the original). So gotta talk about how some hole in the internet is triggering you again.

Bear in mind, Wu's had users permanently silenced on Twitter for less.

Hey, just as a tip, let's try not to turn this into Shaner 2.0. There's no way Wu is going to step out of her hugbox and actually join here, so let's not go down the road of begging Senpai to notice us or powerleveling about how much better we are. In the end, that's just going to validate her even more.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

Man, if I was a determined and successful game designer, I think I'd spend more time making games than tweeting and ego searching.

Worse, Null and Brianna spoke to each other about the Jace heading to Boston bit. She has to have known about us since February at least. Either that or she NEVER researches.

Agreed. Wu is too much of a coward to step into anywhere he doesn't have power. Even the Slashdot interview rattled Wu pretty bad, as Wu barely scratched the surface, declared victory, then ignored it like it never happened.

Here's John a year from now:

[Also, good to see John deleting tweets after snapping, per usual.]

Remember kids, archive everything! If a lolcow says it, no shit is too minor.

Ghazi's known about us since then too, as evidenced by us being covered by them during GG Thread #2, which makes the sudden interest even more baffling.
