That's a really nice essay - glad it seems to be making the rounds. As we've touched on periodically in Why is casual racism/sexism more accepted in video games than other forms of media (these days)? , and as the comments sections of most articles about anything make clear, nerd culture reeeeeeally has a hard time having even a remotely nuanced conversation about sexism or privilege at any level. Also nice to see a nerd using their fifteen minutes to challenge these things (as he did to probe the reasons for the anti-Chu sentiments) rather than just to do Nerd Pride Week or whatever. I like this guy.
Just started watching his run back-to-back on the ShowForYou youtube this morning (after burning through the Julia run to date), so good.

goddamn, julia's last two wins have been so smooth and yet so suspenseful! She's put everybody away before final jeopardy but she's done it with no panic, no worry, no hurry. She gets five or six in a row, finds her groove, nails a daily double, bets intelligently and then doesn't miss. It's not as exciting, abrasive or explosive as Chu's run was but it's just flat out masterful gamesmanship. Really loving this lady right now!

She seems immune to tiredness or nerves. Rooting for a long million-dollar run.

After win No. 16, Jennings tweeted his compliments and she replied that she was now in even more awe of his epic streak.“If you’re a white male they give you the answers,” Jennings quipped.“When you’re a woman they tell the other contestants not to try,” she volleyed back.

The guy today deserved to win if only because he had to endure Alex's Irish accent in the lead-in to Double Jeopardy.

I was never so bummed to see someone lose on this show as I was last night! Really hoping for Julia vs. Arthur in the finals of the next Tournament of Champions.

I suppose this is the default Arthur Chu thread?
Whoever upthread who wanted him to keep on writing more cultural commentary is getting their wish

I am so crazy about Arthur Chu! He's got a good heart and a good head on his shoulders.

xp He just rubs me the wrong way! The mouthing to the camera during the introductions, the "Huh!? I knew that!?" bewildered expression after ~50% of his correct answers...I dunno, he sort of toned it down for the tournament but he drove me nuts during his initial run.
― cwkiii, Saturday, 22 November 2014 01:08 (eleven years ago)
