The thing I find interesting here is the position she’s found herself in.

You see, Wu and similar get their money not on any belief in the product by the consumer, but on the idea that that giving them money somehow, in some vague, ill-defined way attacks Gamergate.

They’re not donating to see Rev 60 happen, or the feminist deck, or whatever you could care to mention. People are donating mostly so they can turn around and say. “Hur hur! I gave all my money to literally who! I bet you Googer Gorgs are really hurting now!”

What Wu has managed to do is act in a way so inept, so incompetent and quite frankly ridiculous that this most simplistic idea, this promise of “Every dollar for me is a blow against the dreaded Grankle Grak!”. Something that requires virtually no effort on her part to pull off to make happen no longer works.

I think it says a lot when even the simplest trick in the book has stopped working.
