Running For Congress, Brianna Wu Criticizes The FBI's GamerGate Report (venturebeat.com)
An anonymous reader shares this update about programmer/game developer Brianna Wu as well as the FBI's recently-released report on their GamerGate investigation:Wu has officially unveiled the web site for her campaign for a seat in the U.S. Congress, and says if elected she'll confront the FBI over their "appalling failure" when investigating members of the controversial GamerGate coalition. "Wu catalogued more than 180 death threats that she said she received because she spoke out against sexism in the game industry and #GamerGate misogyny," according to VentureBeat, which quotes Wu as saying "only a fraction of a fraction of the information we gave them was ever looked into."
The article says the FBI did investigate -- even asking Google to "preserve records" for several email addresses and YouTube accounts, and making a similar request to Microsoft. And the FBI also interviewed one minor who admitted to making at least 40 threatening phone calls, but after turning over that information learned that the state of Massachusetts had declined to prosecute. In the end the FBI's 173-page report ultimately concluded that there were no actionable leads.
Wu's response? "All this report does for me is show how little the FBI cared about the investigation."

No, you unimportant half-melted snowflake, the world does not revolve around you and yours.
It's gotten harder and harder now that even gay or interracial marriage is allowed and women can go vote. Being the oppressed victim is no longer as simple as being Irish.
They're really digging below the bottom of the barrel with "microaggressions" and "I identify as my gender fluids" crap.
... would be a better choice than Wu ever could have been. Even if she hadn't got fully blown victim narrative as a way of life.
Hillary lost, get over it. You have to own your guy's fuck-ups, now.

This is the sorest bunch of winners ever. I've never seen people who's canddates win, and they're angrier than before the election.
The shepherds did so well protecting the flock that the sheep no longer believed that wolves existed.
The election *is* over and time to move on. Hillary won't be running again, so it's a bit pointless to be talking about her, agreed. However:
> I've never seen people who's canddates win,
People who dislike scumbags like Hillary didn't see their candidate win. The US elected a different style of bad. Kasich, for example, dropped out in May, so no, "their" candidates didn't win.
Only amongst very uninformed people who treat national policy as like a ball game, where they root for "their team" does acknowledging Hillary's serious faults equate to rooting for Trump.
Now, all Americans live in a country where Trump is in fact President. Those of us who voted against him, such as myself, have Trump as our president - even though I voted against him twice. Those who favored Trump now have him as President. Hillary's speech about this was right on the money. She said all of us will now, if we're smart, will try to support good policies that he proposes and oppose bad ones. The election is over, Hillary has moved on. Now we press for good policy, the best policies we can from our President. A few years from now we'll have a chance to discuss who the next President should be.
You think conservatives won ?
Conservatives value process and playing by the rules, the use of reason to prove our point.
The left kept screaming like children and digging in their heels till they created a reflection of themselves that hates them.
Trump won, he is purely a creation of the insanity of the left and their unwillingness to have a rational political process.
You are welcome to him.
Well she did experience death threats.
Supposedly. On the Internet. Along with a lot of other people that nobody gives a fuck about because they don't go running to the media or the media wouldn't care if they did, because they aren't female or transgender.
You don't think defending the rights of half of the population is a worthwhile part of the struggle?
What rights do they not have or are under threat?
She stood up to a vile hate mob
Played opportunistic politics for attention and victim bucks.
had the opportunity to retire back into obscurity, and now is coming back for more
Translation: Need more attention and victim bucks.
That's a lot more than I can say for a bunch of congressmen that come from a certain party that starts with R and ends with Trump.
I imagine quite a few of them actually achieved something before entering politics.
Just think, all this insanity from the regressive left was just barely brewing under the surface, only held back because of their delusion that the rest of the world agreed with them.
If anything, this report proves that's what SHE did ... her victims
Great technique! Take this as an example guys.
Remember always portray the targets of our harassment as the aggressors while we paint ourselves as the victim. Invent improbable stories, such as them creating accounts to harass themselves, accuse them of being "the biggest bullies" on the web (actual examples not needed), and then turn around and accuse them of cultivating a "professional victim-hood." You won't believe how easily the masses lap up our alternative facts. And above all never admit defeat and never feel shame. We shouldn't have any shame arguing, for example, that the Jews framed Hitler for gassing themselves in the so-called "Death Camps." Tomorrow belongs to us.
Yes, yes, Crashmarik, you conservatives have been denying responsibility since your love affair with the anti-communists and segregationists in the 1950s.
But we know you are Spartacus, and Spartacus is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
Tell me whats the difference between segregation and the quotas of affirmative action ?
One day of typical work of Roberta Williams was more important for gaming than the whole life of this prick.
"She fought the alt-right and won" - that is apparently her campaign slogan. That would also be news to the alt-right, that (a) didn't exist when GamerGate happened and (b) barely even knows she exists.
It's like saying: "she beat her fists against a brick wall - left blood flecks everywhere - she must've won".
Enjoy life! This is not a dress rehearsal.

He lost his law license over his stupidity.
Wu doesn't have anything of value to revoke she's so worthless.
The FBI probably looked at what was sent to Jack Thompson and what was sent to Wu, had a good laugh and then went home to play Call of Duty.

One reduces the degree with which races mix, and the other increases it.
They are literally the exact OPPOSITE of each other.
