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.
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.
Gotcha. I assume they are one of the people who see racism and sexism everywhere in gaming
