Congratulations slashdot, you just jumped the shark for me. A front page story about a scam artist with a victim complex and a direct link to a Patreon account so people can give her more money. Time to go find another tech news site.
Regardless of what you believe Ms. Wu experienced, do you truly not know any women in software or gaming who've experienced the kind of awful "boy's only club" attitudes and sometimes downright literal sexual harassment?
In other words, you recognise trannies under their claimed "gender identities". Thank you for signalling your progressiveness and open-mindedness. Most of humanity respectfully disagrees.
In my experience most people are supportive of transsexual, just not those who are lying assholes.
Wu, how do you justify your claim of being a feminist when your game has females depicted as an adolescent boy might draw them, play the victim card all the time, have been caught exaggerating and outright lying so often and then hiding behind claims of sexism, etc.
Follow-up question: your male past is easily found by anyone doing a cursory search. Do you refuse to talk about it because you are afraid that o
I have a suggestion of a transsexual I would actually like reading an interview about in Slashdot. Sophie Wilson (ARM chip designer). I respect that work.
What I do not respect is reading about people who make their career around politically correct bullshit and produce nothing of value. This isn't news for nerds and it isn't stuff that matters.
MULE was one of the best games ever. Really there is a Q and A I would of loved.
How do you manage to pack the game logic and graphics into an 8k cart ? Are there any triicks you have to use in getting the 6502 a barely 8 bit processor to handle the program ? Does this crimp your work ?
This whole topic reminds me of a line from mule
"Your investment in artificial stupidity has paid off"
Dani Berry is survived by her three children, who now operate a company which trades under the name Ozark Softscape (Berry’s old development studio), and which manages her IP and "digital legacy".
Not the same, but maybe we could get an interview with them?
Wilson described herself as a feminist and has spoken in interviews about women's difficulties in tech. She would be ripped to shreds by the MRAs just like other women who have done the same.

Incredibly ironic, since briana wu aka john walker flynt is actually a man.

Why is this modded down? It reveals a fact: that "Brianna Wu" was born "John Walker Flynt," and was born male.

What you originally said and what you said in this post are two different things. Once you figure that out you'll understand the downmod.
