Talk:Brianna Wu

Picture of Wu
That picture is awfully deceptive, if you are going to show it, perhaps also show one that depicts him/her as they really appear normally? Kaeleruna (talk) 19:48, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Restraining Order
I heard something about him having a restraining order. That should be mentioned. Also she has been confirmed for John Flynt. Another key aspect is the fact that he never left his home.--141.101.106.113 20:32, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * "Also she has been confirmed for John Flynt." I tend to believe that she is indeed John Flynt, but has it been confirmed for certain? If it turns out that Wu wasn't John Flynt, will it put our wiki in danger of having a defemation lawsuit filed against it for having stated otherwise? I'm not sure if we really need to have info about Wu's past on this wiki, GamerGate's case against the gaming press will be just as solid regardless of whether or not Brianna Wu was born as a woman. - Rust Cohle (talk) 21:56, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The way I see it, if someone asks to have it taken off then we do it at that time, unless one of the Admins feels otherwise. As it is there is a lot of evidence that would seem to point out these two are the same person, and when in doubt we might as well keep it. You never know when it may come in handy at a later time.

 * I suppose that providing info about the Wu-Flynt connection has some value, it shows how fucked up the media is for giving Wu a stage without exposing her shady past. Seeing that our domain name ends with an "me", I gather that this wiki is hosted from Montenegro. In what position does this put us in regards to libel suits? I know that ED is currently hosted from the Ukraine because of that country's lax laws regarding libel. - Rust Cohle (talk) 22:14, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * If it is hosted out of a given country, we can only be sued in that country I believe, at least I don't see a judge allowing a suit suing you in the US (or whatever other country you want) for something that is being hosted in Montenegro to proceed. So we should be fine. And in this case, we can't be sued for libel or slander because we aren't saying anything bad about him/her for being transgender, we are merely reporting that they are.

Another Picture of Wu
Here's a good picture to use. If it can be cropped http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2255312/thumbs/o-BRIANNA-WU-facebook.jpg --141.101.106.113 20:53, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That one is so big that cutting it down to 250 by 250 may make it too hard to see properly. Kaeleruna (talk) 21:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll add a picture comparing Flynt to Wu on the page below, I will leave the Twitter picture in the infobox for now anyway. Kaeleruna (talk) 20:35, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Copying information over from GamerGate Wikia
Think this is worth doing? They have a lot of stuff over there that isn't here, and since it is under the thumb of Wales and co there, it may be subject to deletion at any point. Kaeleruna (talk) 23:11, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * You cannot copy and paste information from any wiki, because the license requires "shared attribution", meaning the edit history must be intact. I don't care about people copying and pasting information from this wiki because I am more concerned with spreading information, however I've had experience with wikia and it wouldn't surprise me if they would make a big deal about it. The page can be exported then imported here, but it should be easy enough to do original research and put it here. Psycho Robot (talk) 21:47, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Drake Harper
Wu's first foray into gamergate was to create the sockpuppet, Drake Harper, on 18 Sep 2014, not making a stupid meme. https://archive.today/CiiVb Some choice tweets from this account are "The death scenes in Tomb Raider give me an erection, but that doesn’t make me a misogynist." https://twitter.com/BROLOLZ/status/513402251034243073 and "Boobs are pretty, and I want to touch them, BRO." https://archive.today/zNZqL --Adex (talk) 01:47, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
