watched some old brianna wu vids, what a bunch of hit pieces. DEAF THREATS
I just recently learned a whole lot about Brianna Wu's "death threats," it was very interesting
Years ago there was a group of weirdos making videos under the name Deagle Nation which were hilarious and outlandish and everyone questioned how they could possibly be real
The main guy in the videos, Jace Connors, was basically a real life Mac from Always Sunny
Wearing sunglasses and saying shit like "I don't have a real gun because killing people is gay that's why I have airsoft which is the coolest thing ever and check out my videos on how to make this DIY tactical scythe"

These dudes made several "death threats" against Brianna Wu, in fact possibly the only death threats she received, and she freaked out, and continually cited/cites them as part of the extreme harassment she received
Well
Eventually it was discovered through Steam ID shenanigans that the entire thing was in fact fake performance art; Jace Connors had a different real name, all his friends were in on it with their own fake personas and acts, even his mother was in on it
All the actors responsible revealed themselves once and for all in a final stream, took a bow, and sunsetted the project
And Wu was left publicly embarrassed
But not embarrassed enough to stop using the Deagle Nation death threats videos in her latest congress ads though

(around 1:00)
Fun fact...the winter car crash scene there was an actual car crash "Jace Connors" got into, and he came out of the car already in character and recording because he knew it would be perfect for his persona
But that crash also gave him a concussion that changed him and made him unable to perform the part anymore, leading to the end of Deagle Nation
