Wu was one of the "literally who's" of Gamergate, along with Quinn (as abuser and beneficiary of journalistic nepotism) and Sarkisian (the non-gamer, telemarketing face of Tropes Vs. Women). She was then LARPing as a game dev, and came out hard against Gamergate.
They'd scream "Misogyny!" whenever we dug up journalistic malpractice. Collectively they were living chaff and walking distractions. The 'literally who's' were notorious for using the criticism they received as evidence of harassment, to earn victim points for self-promotion, so it was common practice to avoid even naming them.
I remember back on the Escapist, before I had ANY notion that there was a civil war brewing at all, I saw a trailer for TvW. "Huh this kind of looks like shit" I thought to myself. "Reminds me of the stories of those senators who hated videogames". I thought it would go away fairly quickly, at most some brief shock jock flash in the pan.
Exploited gamergate - an event that had absolutely nothing to do with him - by thrusting himself into the spotlight and desperately trying to get as much attention as possible.
Y'know what, I think he probably really does have a female brain.
How did this person become famous? Honest question
Failed Game Dev. Failed Congressional candidate. Fails at passing as female.
Wu's a D-list celeb who's famous for being a failure, at best.
Also lied about graduating. Someone found the college records under his original name.
Wikipedia calls him a "software engineer" just because he self identifies as one.
D-list in 3 ways.
Democrat
Dick owner
D-list e-celeb
Gotcha. I assume they are one of the people who see racism and sexism everywhere in gaming

God I miss my pre-redpill days.
I'm going to ruin your day with this response,
Don't forget about Randi Harper.
Yeah. He made a "game" that was a colossal piece of shit as well.
With really "surprising" models for the women in the game.
Was a brave woman oppressed by the evil gamers.
This was good enough for the likes of @Glinner (promptly banned for troonphobia).
By forcefully injecting himself into everything.
