Jesus Christ, Wu played MAGA apologist? Given her history? She's always been a shit person, I just figured she at the very least wouldn't join the crowd tied at the hip to her arch-nemesis GamerGate edgelords.

I guess it really doesn't matter what flavor of bad you are, in the end they all gravitate toward MAGA.

    The entire GamerGate/anti-GamerGate fiasco was a psyop designed to divide people and drain them of money and direct influence that was being run by bad actors and useful idiots. I had forgotten her name until now, but I guess Wu was the Useful Idiot type.

    GamerGate was also weaponized to be used as tool to popularize far right ideology by Steve Bannon. The rise in groups like Proud Boys, Groypers and the Manosphere can all be traced back to the GamerGate movement.

    Yeah, I know. And while the GamerGate side was the far, far worse one, the anti GamerGate was also employing bad faith arguments and grifting their followers. Or in Wu's case, just plain dumb. Both sides where easy targets for each other's followers, which is how they wanted it. Who actually used that Call in a Gamer Girl service?

    I guess trans people can be just as shitty as the rest of us. Don't hurt me, I'm one of you. Hurt all the OTHER trans people....

    A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend's house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton's 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things."I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

    Damn.

    Every conservative, from the most spiteful MAGAt to the polite nana across the street, all believe they are the exception and special. They won't be stepped on. It's all those other people that deserve it.

    It doesn't matter if they are trans, cis, white, or black.

    The core belief of conservatism is that they earned their place while all those others didn't.

    The most fucked up thing about this was that her single issue was demanding everyone support a genocide.

    It's rough finding out that you're not "one of the good ones".

    Wow. I didn't know there were people who underestimated the harm Trump would do to trans people because their single issue was Israel on both sides!

    "Ok, yeah, he's obviously raped kids. And he was best friends with known child rapist Epstein for decades. Oh, and he's convicted of raping women. And he's obviously a racist. And he's obviously a Russian asset. And he's obviously a traitor...and he hates my kind of people, but, BUT, we agree on this one specific thing so he gets my vote!
    ...
    Oh shit, he's coming for me now. Who could've foreseen this!!!?!!"

    I've gone from being super far rightwing to now being super far leftwing over the course of my life; yet somehow, "Brianna Wu is a fucking idiot" has remained constant.

    ‘I only wanted innocent Iranians to be killed!’

    Liberals acting shocked every time the fascists turn on them, instead of just helping them kill middle eastern people.

    I recall her going nuclear on bluesky about the rest of the platform not supporting Israel enough, but I haven’t seen or heard much from her for a while. I see I haven’t missed much. Maybe this is why Leo hasn’t had her on TWiT in ages, lol.

    People thinking they are famous on social media is one of the largest downfalls of society. Openly voting for a traitor and a pedophile so you can blend in with the other MAGA's isn't the flex you think it is.

    image of blurry, potato-quality text without link to source or text alternative

    Instead of posting that in a way that breaks accessibility, searchability, authenticability, and fault tolerance for no compelling reason while making the web less usable, could OP try at least linking to sources?

    She’s a professional victim, it’s nothing but a grift. Also lol she looks nothing like those photos she posted. That’s like a completely different person.
