"Literally Who" is Back

Well, Literally Who 3, at least. The Endless Grift of ‘Literally Who?’

In case you don’t get that reference, the #GamerGate crew dubbed the three self-anointed “victims” as Literally Who (Zoe Quinn), Literally Who 2 (Anita Sarkeesian) and Literally Who 3 ([Brianna] Wu), the point of these sobriquets being that practically nobody in the videogame development community had ever heard of these people until #GamerGate happened.

There is more about the origins of "Literally Who" and #GamerGate. (I ignored the #GamerGate kerfuffle as much as possible at the time, because it was insane.)

Anyway, Literally Who 3 is apparently Executive Director of a Super PAC, working tireless to lose to more establishment Democrats. Though, that isn't how she refers to the work of the PAC. Here is how Robert Stacy McCain sums up the work of the PAC:

Way to go, Madame Executive Director — wasting donor money on doomed kook candidates who get stomped in Democratic primaries. Please, offer more strategic help to “progressives”!

Some people won't let go of the 15 minutes of fame.
