=== Brianna's Open Letter Mystery (03:03) ===

[00:00:00]  So why am I making a quick and dirty video about Brianna Wu?
[00:00:04]  Well, there's something interesting going on with Brianna at the moment, and I think it's worth documenting for future generations to see just how victim bucks work.
[00:00:14]  So Brianna has done nothing of relevance for months and months and months, and I personally am glad because I hate having to look at a fucking face.
[00:00:23]  But for some reason, she decided to tweet out an open letter to Gamergate.
[00:00:28]  bizarre why would she why would she do that i mean didn't she previously request that people from gamegate simply leave her alone I mean, why would she now be addressing them?
[00:00:39]  But I suspect it's something to do with the fact that earlier, not much earlier, in the previous year, I'm just looking for it now, I haven't looked at her Twitter for quite some time, but she decided to make the mistake of supporting capitalism.
[00:00:55]  Brianna, coming from a wealthy family, at least understands how her family's wealth was made.
[00:01:00]  So on the 27th of December, Brianna found herself in defense of capitalism, which as you can imagine most social justice warriors are not in favour of.
[00:01:10]  And she says, honestly, if the left is going to scream at me for that utterly reasonly opinion, for that utterly reasonable opinion, we have some soul searching to do.
[00:01:19]  Well, welcome to the club, Brianna.
[00:01:21]  Because this is why Brianna is now writing open letters to Gamergate.
[00:01:28]  God, she does use Twitter an awful lot for someone who's afraid of using Twitter, doesn't she?
[00:01:32]  But yeah, so this brings us to her open letter to Gamergate, because I think she has an ulterior motive.
[00:01:38]  Now, she, in her letter to Gamergate, says things like, I believe Gamergate's underlying assumption that attacking me has tactical value for your cause is outdated and incorrect.
[00:01:49]  Now, you might say that that's a bit rich, coming from someone who effectively made her career out of going around and slandering members of Gamergate.
[00:01:58]  Well, the movement as a whole, not just individuals, that would have been so much easier because that would have been easy to refute.
[00:02:04]  But no, she now would like a reprieve from apparently the organized efforts to harass her and her employees.
[00:02:12]  I haven't seen any of these organised efforts, but I'm sure that they exist.
[00:02:16]  I'm sure that she's not once more lying through her teeth.
[00:02:20]  But she ends by saying, I'm not going to discuss this with you on Twitter.
[00:02:23]  I will tentatively leave the comments open here.
[00:02:27]  Where?
[00:02:28]  There are no comments open on this article, Brianna.
[00:02:32]  But either way, she's full of shit.
[00:02:35]  She is trying to incite you.
[00:02:36]  I'll show you why.
[00:02:38]  Back in May, if we look using the archive, on her Patreon she was getting $3,262 a month.
[00:02:46]  Fast forward to November, she's down to $2,795 a month, presumably under the, or how have you been a victim lately attitude, and after her little defense of capitalism, is now down to $2,259 a month.

=== Brianna Wu In Hot Water (00:30) ===

[00:03:04]  Brianna Wu has found herself in some hot water.
[00:03:06]  She is losing money, $1,000 in the last six months or so, and now she is trying to incite you so she can use anything you send to her to make more money.
[00:03:17]  Don't send her anything.
[00:03:19]  Don't respond to her.
[00:03:20]  She is just going to use it against you.
[00:03:23]  There is nothing that can be done about Brianna Wu other than ignoring her.
[00:03:26]  And that, in fact, would be by far the best thing, because then Brianna Wu has to live and die on her video game production skills.
