Wait wait wait. Wu is saying that no, Samus isn't actually a woman, she's transexual. Justin comes in to tell her she's wrong, and Wu claims that Justin is the one committing erasure?

Wu, you're erasing Samus as a female character! What about her agency?! I thought you wanted more female characters, and now you're saying that one of the most badass women in gaming isn't a woman, because she had a sex change when she was a baby?


Wu needs to check her privilege here.
 
Looking back at Brianna and Chloe's exchange, I realized that while Brianna remained calm and relatively polite, she never actually gave a reason for refusing to help Chloe.
 
Brianna is not an award I want nor deserve. :c

The day when everything falls apart for Brianna and her whinging, will be a happy day that cannot come soon enough.
 
I know that I'm not the only aspiring unpublished author on this forum, so behalf of all of us:

John, fuck you and your husband's undeserved circlejerk gobshite awards.

The Chloe conversation is still fascinating to me because it shows a couple of things about Brianna. First is that she is able to recognize crazy and avoid it when she's not worked up over something. Second, and probably the most damning long-term, is her complete unwillingness to admit she's transgendered even when the person she's speaking to knows about it and alludes to it.

Nice grab, @Cynical, as John quickly memory-holed that "there is hope for the future" tweet.

So, John, you're now hoping for a future where we give sex change operations to 3-year-olds. Please advocate for this more vociferously, because that's not completely psycho.

This conversation hurt me physically. I'm reliving those horrible moments from the early 2000s when all those fangirls ran around insisting that Zelda grew a penis and balls when she put on her Sheik disguise. There's no evidence to support either of those claims, and yet people will move heaven and earth to argue in favor of them simply because it makes them feel better.

This is the same bullshit that happens when the comic industry ret-cons a popular superhero to be gay or a woman or something else "progressive". Instead of building new characters with these traits they just take the easiest route possible by slapping a new label onto an already established icon. Wu could actually put legitimate trans characters in her game, but that's too hard. So instead she's just going to shit all over three decades of established lore.

I think what's happening with some of these instances (and especially in Wu's case) is they don't actually care about a gay or trans or whatever character; they just want their chosen character to be that particular label. Wu wishes she was Samus Aran and, if Samus was trans, it just makes her even better as an escapist fantasy character. What makes all of this funny is that Brianna is desperately trying to attach a label to Samus that she doesn't even want to give herself.
 
MASSIVE FUCKING SALT FROM WU INCOMING:

Just checked GethN7's personal blog, he actually contacted Wu via email, politely requested Wu comment on the articles he posted on Medium.com, and Wu chimped the ever loving fuck out on him and told him to never contact her again.

And he promised to honor her wishes and left her a nice message in parting:

That's exactly the point I was trying to make, but was too flabbergasted to accurately convey.

When all those fangirls insisted that Shiek was actually a male version of Zelda or a separate person altogether it was their way of justifying their attraction to a character who turned out to be female all along. It was basically a bunch of people screaming "I'm not a lesbian!" all over DA and what have you.

Wu wants Samus to be secretly trans because it justifies her own life. "Oh, look at this strong female character who has really been trans this whole time and fooled all of us for nearly thirty years! She's totally me, you guys!"

Geth has given us the best lolcow saga since Jace crashed his Prius. His is a rest well deserved. :semperfidelis:

Know that implied threat of Wu possibly trying to report Geth to Medium in Wu's reply?

Geth did this in response:

Wu, you lying sack of shit:

Wu burned this tweet, claiming his personal blog site was "hacked".

Cosmodrome was hacked.png


Liar, you probably burned it since Geth called your ass out on your fuckups.

He wished for your health and safety you stupid fuck:

Shit, someone should flood Wu's Twitter with links to the shit Wu is trying to twist into something evil.


Oh, the server for Wu's site went to shit:

John 'Not a Woman' Flynt said:
You are a stalker, not a journalist. I have no problem with public criticism, but obsessing over everything I say and do all day every day is extremely unsettling.

You were banned from Twitter for this exact extremely creepy behavior.

That sounds like a very mild version of this behavior, John:

"He told me in private that my writing was horrible, that I was no good, that I was shit. He let his friends talk down to me and call me abusive names. When I left him, he gave my phone number to his friends so they could call me up and shout abuse at me.... You want to talk about scars? I have a burn mark on my back that I covered up with a tattoo....

When I left - and yes, I was the one to leave - he came up to my parents' house, trying to get me back. When he wouldn't leave me alone, I moved across the country to get away from him. Then he showed up at my sister's apartment in New York City where I was staying while I got my feet under me - he talked his way past the manager by saying he was my husband, and being very persuasive that I would want to see him - and I opened the door to her apartment to find him waiting inside. Let me say, it was not a good surprise to think I was going to a safe space, only to find him waiting for me. So I cut all ties with my old friends, worried they would give him information about me. I changed my number because I was getting phone messages from his friends telling me I was a piece of shit - basically repeating everything he had told me for the year we were together. "
"Stalker"
"Extremely unsettling"
"Extremely creepy"
"MEGA, MEGA CREEPY"

You don't just condone psychopathic stalking and violence against women, John, you put a ring on it and defended this violent, mega-creepy stalker publicly for this behavior.
