Wu, please don't ruin one of my favorite JRPGs with your filthy mitts. It's bad enough when she was trying to confuse people with her Yoshi's Island sperging.

Why Do Some Falsely Claim to Be Victims?
"Why would someone lie about being the victim of discrimination, assault or even a hate crime?"

"Why would someone lie about being the victim of discrimination, assault or even a hate crime?"
continued in spoiler
According to The New York Times, the leader and founder of the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa, “admitted that six of his group’s early crime-fighting exploits were actually faked and former and present associates contend that even more of the group’s activities were publicity stunts. Mr. Sliwa said … that he manufactured six stunts, including a report of the rescue of a mugging victim substantiated by a group member displaying bruises he had actually received falling down in the subway.”
Sliwa’s motivation, he said, was to draw attention and sympathy to his social justice group. Morton Downey, Jr., the bombastic 1980s talk show host, also faked an attack on himself by racist skinheads in an attempt to boost his profile and his show’s lagging ratings.
There are several factors that help hoaxers get away with their false reports. One of them is that victims are given special status based on the simple — and usually true — assumption that they actually have been victimized. Most people who report insults and crimes against them are telling the truth. The vast majority of physical and sexual assaults, property crimes, auto thefts and so on are real and legitimate. Hoaxers exploit this fact by hiding their faked reports in a sea of genuine ones.
Until the public and police become suspicious, hoaxers are given the benefit of the doubt, attention and assistance and treated with sympathy.
Hoaxers also often gain credibility through real or claimed membership in an oppressed or respected group. Our culture bestows respect and credibility on certain groups, such as mothers, members of the military, professionals, some minorities including the gay community, the elderly, clergy and others.
In many cases the claims themselves are often lacking significant details. They are plausible enough to be taken seriously by supporters and the public, but when police and experienced investigators examine their story, parts don’t add up.
For example a person may claim she was knocked unconscious by her attacker but does not have a corresponding head injury. Often the hoaxer will stick by their story until the end, refusing to admit that they lied even in the face of refuting evidence. Those who make false reports often have a history of legal troubles and may have had brushes with the law or previous arrests....
The accusations are often consciously or unconsciously crafted to fit a popular image or caricature of the assailant, how he or she would be expected to act or look. Sometimes these narratives are taken from popular culture, such as television shows and films, with false victims describing what they imagine an assault would look like.
False report claims typically fit widely accepted cultural narratives, such as a gay waitress being the victim of homophobic slurs, or a young black woman being targeted by racists, or a young white woman being attacked by a black man. Many false reports are committed as a way to bring attention to legitimate social problems such as racism, sexual harassment, sexual assault and hate crimes. By adopting the public image of a victim and a social justice crusader, the hoaxer not only enjoys the sympathy and public support of others who support their cause, but also the attention. By implicitly aligning the false claims with a larger, valid social issue, the hoaxers discourage a close examination of their claims.
When these false reports are eventually exposed, it’s not uncommon for the alleged victim’s supporters to justify the hoax by saying that it was done for a greater good, and that it doesn’t matter whether the specific incident actually happened, because it represents many undoubtedly true and valid similar events. Police who diligently spend dozens or hundreds of hours — not to mention thousands of taxpayer dollars — on a lie understandably do not feel the same way. And, of course, the time and effort spent on false victims is time that could have been devoted to helping real victims or real crimes.

Someone needs to yell SUCK LESS to John when he's coding Revolution 60, preferably a woman. Otherwise it's just manspraining
White knighting Saint Anita's white knight:
Fuck it, I just capped this shit:
This is what all the bitching is about:

IMO, art is not too shabby, actually does make the Disney princesses look pretty badass, but all the SJWs can do is whine about the characters being objectified, as if Disney themselves didn't do that to begin with.

Wu really didn't read the SJW handbook, did they?
Not to mention isn't consistent about being a "sex positive feminist". If a woman is portrayed as sexy AND badass, isn't that the definition of "sex-positive"?

I remember seeing a drawing in Repair Her Armor tumblr where they draw the Disney Princesses in full armor while keeping the princess look. That's pretty badass. I think it's Princess Aurora or something.

Dude. We fucking get it. You've said it 9 times. Stop sperging the fuck out. Wu knows we watch him. He's known for months. Chill the fuck out.
Dude, I got over that a few pages ago.

You're not wrong, but we already had that conversation. Maybe finish reading the thread before you jump down someone's throat.

Hadn't refreshed page in mobile chrome. My bad. But anyway, good to see you relaxed a bit. When you stare into fire, you might fall in. Don't become what you are mocking, and just remember, outside the internet wu is pretty much a nobody. She was a blip on some old media for 5 minutes. No more, no less. He isn't Hitler, but he is stupid and fun to laugh at. Just keep that in mind.

Thank fucking Christ a white ma~ sorry WOman was here to tell these dumb black people how to recruit whites to their cause.
Thanks for the reality check. On that note this advice goes out to any other Kiwi constantly monitoring Wu's Twitter:
That idiot shits out constant, lolcow scented Dunning-Kruger almost constantly. Do what I had to do if it starts pissing you off. Take a breather, remind yourself you aren't as stupid and petty as John Flynt, and do something besides stare into the abyss all day.
Having been there, trust me, this advice is for your own sanity.
In his defense, I see what he's trying to say now. He doesn't know about Chrono Trigger DS and assumes SNES Chrono Trigger was released on the e-shop.
On the other hand, he's too stupid to see that the game is clearly utilizing both screens, which SNES don't do.

Why do even sympathetic portrayals make Wu look like something that walked out of a horror movie?

You're not Chinese, John, stop trying to seem like a minority.
He's digging himself even deeper with his own ignorance to the fact that the 3DS can play DS games, as well as the fact that Chrono DS has been out since 2008.
He always puts on the "scared-deer" look just to seem like a victim.

Wow, Wu is so heroic for standing up for those sad little blacks. Hard to believe this is the same man who refers to arabic people as "sand niggers".
