Final Fight campaign ad - John has autism and AIDS

[Peace and Harmony]

Fresh autism for the autism god. (@Jaimas please archive o vanguard of autism)

 

[Owlflaps]

Fucking why

 

[His Dewliness]

>America is my friend too!



It's even better because it's so easy to imagine Frank shouting this the next time he dresses as a homeless man and starts rambling in a car park

 

[Black Waltz]

this gave me aids

 

[PT 404]

Can this fucking dick not ruin everything he touches? Leave Final Fight sacred.

 

[Robotron]

Did she forget that one of the enemies you fight in Final Fight is transgender?

 

[JSGOTI]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Got this email from the campaign at 9:55 Am, 2 minutes later it's the front page of KF.
SUB: Make America Nazi Free Again

Politicians have a shopworn list of ways to raise money. Send emails, call people and hold bad chicken dinners. But congressional candidate and former game developer Brianna Wu has a new idea - killing virtual Nazis.

The game is Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. For most of the life of the 36-year-old game franchise, killing virtual Nazis has been non-controversial. With the election of Donald Trump and the rise of the alt-right, things have changed, and some have called the new Wolfenstein inappropriate.

Rather than shy away from the so-called controversy, game developer Bethesda has leaned into it. One of the game's marketing taglines is "Make America Nazi-free Again," a clear allusion to Trump's campaign slogan.

Enter the Brianna Wu 2018 campaign. Wu, a software engineer now running for US Congress in Massachusetts District 8, was targeted by the alt-right through much of 2014 and 2015 in an international controversy known as Gamergate. Women in the game industry speaking up about inclusion were threatened with murder, sexual assault and mob attempts to discredit them. The events were so shocking, a Law and Order episode was based on the incident.

Starting today at 5 pm Eastern, Wu will stream a playthrough of Wolfenstein II on Twitch in a fundraising effort for her congressional campaign. Viewers will be able to stream the event online and donate, and watch her kill virtual Nazis and speak about her plans to grow the US economy.

"One of the reasons Millennials feel disenfranchised is politicians don't speak to them in ways that feel genuine," said Wu. "Twitch is one of the most important ways to engage younger people. I plan to go to voters where they are, not asking them to come to me."

Wu released a parody ad today, based on the arcade opening of the 1989 video game Final Fight. In the ad, Brianna Wu and her husband Frank vow to take to the streets to save America, who has been kidnapped. The ad uses a retro 16-bit style and can be seen on Youtube.

Viewers can view the stream of Wolfenstein II starting today at 5 pm Eastern by going to https://go.twitch.tv/brianna_wu_2018/ and can donate to Wu's campaign directly by going to supportbrianna.com.

I'm guessing Wu had 0 input and 0 knowledge about this ad, or else he would have talked about it for a month prior.

First impressions:

00:01-00:22 "I like the retro video game approach."

00:23 "fuck this shit lol"

And then I stopped because I can't take anything John says seriously.

Worst Sega Genesis game ever!

Poison is a real girl tho. That was a joke on part of one of the developers

 

[JSGOTI]

So not only do we have directly copied assets from Final Fight, from music to the art itself, we have the intellectual property of the final fantasy franchise being used as well.

Atop of that, there's a Wu livestream to watch tonight, because who doesn't love a good trainwreck

 

[TheMonkeyMan]

I like how they didn't even change the map to make it look like D.C.

 

[DrainRedRain]

Sometimes the only thing I think after seeing something like this is

lol wtf why

 

[Sissy]

I can't wait to tell my grand kids I voted for the first GAMER in congress

 

[purepowerlevel]

Good.

 

[nyess]

This is amazing don't lie

Not since Trump using cheerleaders for his campaign has something so grand come to us all

 

[Tanner Glass]

Everything about this is terrible; but the most terrible thing is clearly the premise that Brianna "someone said mean things on the internet, call the FBI" Wu would be taking to the streets to retake America as opposed to Stephen "Former ironworker; beloved man of the people" Lynch.

 

[Somsnosa]

I have fought gamergate. Videogames. Remember????

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

Nice Kefka laugh, would have been more appropriate for Rick Snyder considering both poisoned a city
