Update on Brianna Wu

Following-up from last October, "Brianna Wu Goes Into Hiding — #GamerGate."

See Milo Yiannopoulos, at Breitbart, "The Wacky World of Wu: The Tortured History of GamerGate's Self-Styled Feminist Martyr."

Well, this definitely clears a number of things up. Turns out, for example, Brianna Wu used to be John Flynt.

More:
In October, Brianna Wu failed to attend a scheduled recording of an internet radio show hosted by the present correspondent in which she was to answer charges that she was responsible for whipping up a media frenzy about GamerGate supporters, accusing them of crimes to which she cannot possibly have linked them to the satisfaction of any law enforcement agency.

Wu later claimed to be “on the run” and “in fear of her life” while continuing to conduct media interviews from her home. She has since positioned herself as what some call a “professional victim,” soliciting pity and crowdfunded donations on the back of ever-more outlandish and implausible claims of real-world persecution on social media. But there has not been a single arrest or prosecution on the basis of any complaint she has made, either to the police or to the FBI, about the harassment she says she has received.
