If you want a good laugh, read the idiots replying to John.

John thinks "liberal arts" means "rhetoric".
Those replies... these people are so in touch with today's youth guyzzzzzz, look at the following use of memes/wit in the replies
-"Nice academic critical hit"
-"That's one sick burn" (with .gif attached)
-"I HAVE NEVER FAVORITED A TWEET HARDER IN MY LIFE. Thanks for sticking up for us creative types."
-"would go so far as to say you schooled him."

Well she certainly persuaded me that she has no clue what she is talking about.

Edit: I wanted to add this, LWu purposefully took Grummz out of context it seems, a twitter user went through the trouble to screen cap it

New segment up. GethN7 features prominently.

I'll be posting the links when time allows. Thanks in advance to @zedkissed60, @Cubanodun, @Francis York Morgan, @Optimus Prime, @Smutley, and everyone else who has been involved with chronicling this latest meltdown of Wu's, with special thanks to @Cynical in particular. Your ability to salvage all of Wu's tweets that she'd have otherwise burnt to the ground have given us the equivalent of a nuclear arms stockpile of Wu's Autism. If I missed you, it's not personal, I've been writing about Wu for nearly 3 hours and I'm running off caffeine and balls-0ut laughter.

You all are to be commended for this, and are kredit to farms.

I also want to take this time to apologize to GethN7 if it seems like we're trying to focus too heavily on his antics, but he has, through his actions, given us the perfect Wu. This incident truly has it all, from Wu attempting to claim non-harassment is harassment, Wu bragging about flexing her muscle to silence a critic, Wu going after someone who by all accounts was playing by the rules, Wu willing to have someone harassed, Wu openly insulting someone who had done nothing wrong, and the piece de la resistance, Wu trying to insist he was somehow a threat to her life because Tyce wasn't fucking enough to completely discredit her.

GethN7, I may never meet you in person, or have the chance to talk to you directly, but I want you to realize the import of what you've done here. By simple virtue of being a good person and actually asking important questions, you've done the entire internet a service that we may never be able to fully repay. Not only is this fucking hilarious, but it gives us the perfect story to bookend Wu with on Lolcow Wiki.

If we were ever to meet, I would buy you a soda, good sir, and shake your hand.

Leave it to LWu, showing her exemplary ability to make a trivial tweet about herself...
>Hey could you promote this?
>Sure I'll see if I can take some time-off out of my busy schedule tomorrow, when I could have done it in this tweet.
Which is a paradox on in itself, if she takes time-off that means she is off twitter (because lets admit it that's the only thing LWu does), but if she is not in twitter then how does she promotes it.

And now for something interesting. As much as everyone locked onto a certain RPG that DTRPG was putting out, that little stunt Brianna Wu did seems to have been a front to cover something a bit more sinister:

THE STORY

The /tg/-goers among us may know it better, but several months ago, a small outfit called Postmortem Studios released a card game called "Gamergate: the Card Game." The online store, DriveThruRPG, picked it up, and, as it turns out, this triggered Evil Hat Productions employees something fierce, so a number among them (Chris Hanrahan, Brian Engard, Daniel Solis) complained to DTRPG to stop carrying the card game with Brian Engard and Chris Hanrahan in particular threatening to pull Evil Hat products from the store if they did not remove the card game. Since FATE and other assorted Evil Hat productions are a much bigger moneymaker than than the GG card game, it came to no surprise that DTRPG pussied out and removed the product.

THE PUNCHLINE

Evil Hat Productions, like many SJWs, is oblivious of the fact that blacklisting people you don't like and threatening others not to deal with them can be pretty fucking illegal depending on the circumstances. In particular, this falls cleanly under FTC's anticompetitive practices list for a single-firm conduct "refusal to deal" violation. Considering how Evil Hat sells their own card game products, Postmortem Studios is a clear direct competitor and therefore this constitutes an attempt to monopolize by way of curtailing a competitor's market access.

Anyone want to find out if those assclowns have a tie to Team Wu? Because I really would not be surprised.

GethN7 for fucking president.

Seriously, I don't care what party he'd be in - this guy could fucking destroy Trump at his own game by simply being way too fucking polite and nice.
 
I like how a prestigious software engineer like Brianna Wu devotes her time to destroying an obscure tabletop game that probably sold about five copies.
 
@Jaimas and all you archiving Kiwis - you are wonderful! Thank you for chronicling the insanity that is Wu! I'm enjoying watching her circling the drain, hopefully into irrelevance.

The thing is he uses what politeness theory calls positive politeness, when he uses uses "polite" discourse markers ( ie; please) and avoids giving direct offense while exposing his friendless.

It becomes difficult for people who can't help but spill their beans like LWu, to win an argument against him, even if LWu tried to be polite that would just seem devious off him. Or if LWu argued that the sky is blue, people would still be on GethN7's side (I mean I certainly would, just because he seems to be the nice guy and not the rich tranny-psycho).

Evil Hat contribute to her Patreon, and designer Fred Hicks regularly reposts stuff about her on Google+.
 
I don't know that that necessarily means they were colluding with her or something. All it means is they support her and agree with her perspective. Wu's good at networking and making friends with people. That's not a shocking revelation or anything.

One of the benefits of narcissism is that you can become very good at manipulating people. It's extra effective when you have the power to go back and erase the things you said; it allows you to change your story as needed.

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 is so autistic, just so some Twitter transies can get raging semis over the idea that Samus has a cock under that suit when they play her in Smash.
