Hmmm yeah perhaps NPR and all the other places that Frank pulls strings to get you interviews should investigate your claims of being an engineer, tech person and journalist.
Especially since you keep claiming politicians need to be held accountable and to higher standards.
THAT would prove quite interesting.

Ya know, funny story.
There's shitloads of female esports players out there.
They don't earn as much because women's esports simply isn't as prominent as the mens. Like pretty much all sports in the world because more folks turn out for men's games these days than females.
This of course, wasn't always the case. Prior to WW1, women's football (soccer) was as popular as men's games, with crowds of 50,000+ being the norm in the UK and is slowly regaining prominence now.

I could see John trying to weasel his way out of that by either pretending the tweet never happened or by pointing out that he never actually said it on an interview if enough people get on his case about some of his more infamous idiotic tweets.
Bingo. It's all about perceived public interest with regards to sports. For example, I doubt Ronda Rousey was making less than Demetrius Johnson when she was at her peak.

Is it possible to buy credibility? I might have a business idea there...

She said she's spent a career building credibility, she didn't say she did a very good job

Funny, I thought he was being stalked by literal Nazi killers. But he geotags all his tweets. What a liar.

He doesn’t exist. Natalie O’Brien doesn’t exist. Lauren MiLovy didn’t exist but Brianna held onto that one for dear life because it gave John a friend and a girlfriend. And the archives show that she was hiring models so that she would have photographic evidence of this fictional Lauren.
Drunken theft of construction equipment didn’t happen. She wasn’t the popular kid who made fake IDs. The flirty dude sometimes identified as navy and sometimes as Air Force never jumped into the back of her bike and “hugged himself to her tightly.”
Save for Natalie, where the lie helped Brianna scam money, none of that ultimately matters.
It matters when Brianna lies about being homeless so that she can bilk more money and speak as an authority. It matters when Brianna claims to have always sympathized with lewinsky when in fact she wrote the most anti-feminist op ed about her in her 20s, calling Monica a literal whore.
There is so much material available out there for any real journalist who wants to use it.

The point is though real journalists treat her about as seriously as we do.

I still think it would be great for somebody to don the guise of John Walker Flynt and sue Wu for copyright infringement over the SocCon characters in the 'successful' R60 game.
Like, we've proven they're one and the same, plus given Wu's efforts to find out the fact from fiction does not exist (tried to put a restraining order on Jace Connors...who is a non-existent person), it all means that Wu legitamately wouldn't be able to prove that the characters weren't stolen without revealing they themselves are John Walker Flynt.
And even if there's some legal loophole Flu uses to get out of it, the tables could then be turned by the fake John dropping the act, leaving it in plain view of everybody that there WAS a John Walker Flynt who created these characters (or rather stole them outright from Sailor Moon) and has to have some kind of connection with Flu.

Go read my transcript of her interview.
That whole plan is way too much fucking effort for someone dumber than Chris-Chan.

I kind of wonder how much Brianna even cares about his characters anymore. He hasn't talked about Revolution 60 in forever and seems to largely ignore all the stuff out there mocking them. It's interesting to see how they appear to have been abandoned after John obsessed over them for more than a decade. Maybe now that he's finally completed a project with them (and, let's be honest, their Rev60 iterations were the best depictions he was ever going to get short of someone taking it completely away from him) and that project failed miserably, he's now over them.
Either that or he's now graduated to trying to rewrite his life to be one of the SOCCON characters. :horrifying:

They have repeatedly wasted column inches on John's lies about himself.

John isn't a very effective liar.
Odds are, John doesn't really associate with anyone who went to Harvard. I say that not because those people are so hard to find or are such a super elite class of people, but rather because John doesn't really have any actual associates who would actually come to his house voluntarily. The combined odds of someone associating with John and having gone to Harvard are pretty low, this is despite the fact that John actually lives a stone's throw from Cambridge. The fact is, people who go to Harvard don't always end up rich elite power brokers as John imagines. They drive themselves around, get dirty, and sometimes even change the fluids in their cars.
In this case, John was trying to paint a picture based on his view of the "class divide" between his percived station in life in contrast that of most of his constituents. He is trying to cast himself as a "relateable" elite because he can change his own oil. Meanwhile many of the people he views as the "unwashed blue collar masses" are actual employed, degreed, upper middle class home owners with a positive net worth who are all orders of magnitude more successful than John.

Find me an actual jouralistic outlet that's featured John then.
'cause all that's coming to mind are shitty vidya websites and The Guardian tickling his asshole and fucking buzzefeed tier networks like MSNBC.
