Naomi Wu

So this maker got disappeared, along with her GF. https://www.youtube.com/@Naomi-Wu https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg It's probably Vice's fault for outing her after she asked them not to when they did a story on her. It's just dirt to them, but that soykaf gets people killed in the PRC. https://cybernightmarket.com/collections/all She sells some stuff, that heat set insert press looks interesting. And I want that folding axe, just so I can LARP Adam Jensen if I get mugged.

there is no way that naomi wu's real identity wasn't known to any chinese police organization that wanted to know it. Look at how she dresses, she dresses like this in public. Don't they have cameras? I assume they just didn't care, but something changed or perhaps she crossed some line. I'm not sure which, I don't especially follow big boob chink lady. Also are you sure she had a girlfriend? I was very much under the impression she'd had a boyfriend for a long while, he was accused of very significant contributions to her technical projects some time ago. She made some defense about how stupidly easy many were. If this just changed maybe thats the problem lol.

Chinese are obsessed with "face", maybe the party didn't care until her sexuality became public. She'd also been making a stink on Twitter about a lesbian couple who were stabbed to death, the PRC are covering up the story.

oh dang she's a lesbo ? then sure yes PRC should remove her. fugging vice amirite. Never trust a Journalist. Thats hillarious. Based chyna.

>>10924 Seconding this, no doubt they were aware of her for a while before hand. It's not nazi germany over there, I believe China follows the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, and I guess they decided she was drawing the wrong kind of attention, especially with the Vice story. Sad to see it happen, but can't say it was unexpected. fuarrrk Vice for putting her in danger, they should know better.

>>10924 >Chinese are obsessed with "face", maybe the party didn't care until her sexuality became public. This is definitely it. PRC probably considered her good propaganda as well. To be fair, she shouldn't have trusted Vice either. They're sloppy as hell with this kind of thing.

>Ok for those of you that haven't figured it out I got my wings clipped and they weren't gentle about it- so there's not going to be much posting on social media anymore and only on very specific subjects. I can leave but Kaidi can't so we're just going to follow the new rules and that's that. >Nothing personal if I don't like and reply like I used to. I'll be focusing on the store and the occasional video. Thanks for understanding, it was fun while it lasted.

this is her last twitter yup seems like China didn't like her being public with her homosexuality oh well, I'll look at tits somewhere else

I know a couple people who were featured on Vice's In My Own World. I'm not going to say who, but it illustrates how predstory Vice can be. I hope Naomi can get her and her gf out despite Vice putting a blinding spotlight on them.

I remember seeing her wage slave for PRC and often claim they were more accepting than America in the comments of her Instagram. Ironic.

Isn't this that bint that spent all her time shagging the CCP and bitching that eg Diresta was more popular than her because he cooperates politely with everyone instead of trying to twitter mob browbeat any random media company into giving her a job or else muh sexismus and such? Can't say I can bring myself to care much, then. I try to give everyone in the makerspace a chance but I had to cut her loose, especially on twitter, a while back. She was gung-ho on going from generally intolerable to specifically pernicious on the off chance it might make her more cash, and now the bigger fish has come along and done the same to her. She's reaping what she sowed, plus the maker space is better now that she happens to not be in it as much. Assuming, of course, that any of this is actually real and not just yet another ploy for attention. (Noticed in that tweet the Party's going to let her continue her actual business unimpeded. Convenient, don't you think?) Considering her track record of nonsense as others have mentioned, I'd even say the latter is the clear odds on favor until we get hard evidence.

>>10933 Chinese will defend the PRC and China in general until it affects them. Then they just kind of go away rather than admit maybe it's not so great. Wage slave would be a great descriptor for Chinese citizens these days. From what i've heard they've gone beyond the 996 model to just slaving all the time.

>>10922 So that's why I haven't heard her name in a while? I never followed her that closely but she did some cool stuff including pressuring sketchy Chinese companies to comply with the GPL and distributing the source code they gave her. >>10923 >there is no way that naomi wu's real identity wasn't known to any chinese police organization that wanted to know it. I believe she had some run in with the Chinese police before that was related to accessing western media that was derezzed in China. But I'm going off memory and don't really know soykaf about it.

>>10923 The husband runs the socials and the reason they went clubbing + brought a third wheel into the picture is because they're swingers. I don't know how people keep falling for the grift after its over.

>>10943 I'm assuming you have proof?

>>10945 He goes by Timaz/Colin. Discussion of him used to summon defense force simps but I guess since he got bored he won't send them after the site.

>>11000 Hilarious. China doesn't even allow any women to be top leaders in the CCP.

>>11000 And the top leaders are giving speeches about how a woman's proper position isn't at a university or in the workplace, but should be at home making babies for their shrinking population. Their leader wants to have fresh bodies for suicide waves when the nationalistic leaders invade the hardened island fortress of Taiwan in a few years . Women aren't allowed to innovate in that highly patriarchaal, Confucian and rxactionary society. All that stuff about how their anti-capitalizt ideology would bring gender equality was a complete lie in China.

I could have sworn i saw this same thread like a year ago.

>>11000 what are those photos even supposed to prove? Have you watched her videos? Not saying they are bad, but they do have a clearly amateurish feel to it, esp. the earlier ones. I stopped watching her when she got her breast "upgrades" because she looked grotesque with those, but so far I have had no reason to believe that she is somehow fake. Very weird and probably a little insane, but not fake.

>>11021 Agreed if this was two heterosexual guys and one was some bearded basement whale that knew everything and one was a photogenic guy who was just figuring things out and running the channel nobody would be calling him a fraud.

>>11021 It's Timaz's old apartment, he used to be big in 3D printing communities but then vanished from them. Suddenly a Chinese woman living in the exact same apartment with the exact same furniture, who claims to have learned English from watching Friends but also has a degree in English but also never studied English and learned from IRC, also claiming to be a professional maker yet keeps burning herself and loses footage of her supposedly building things, etc rises to fame. It is questionable. There is more on the kiwi site but I suppose saying that means it's hate speech or something. >>11022 Because they would be honest, but Wu had never presented herself as a newbie but rather someone very experienced.

>>10929 If she's still working on her store, I wonder if someone would visit and make a post on what she's doing lately. I doubt Naomi will be inclined to be cast.

I thought it was well known she had a white boyfriend twice her age that was just pimping out her image for sales/clout.

Anyone who genuinely thought she was real needs a reality check. It was such an obvious grift, and an admirable one at that.

>>11000 >She had a boyfriend who wuz smart!!!!! ok? stay mad i guess but this isn't proof of anything. Having a smart boyfriend does not preclude a woman from being not retarded and not like any maker soykaf is even hard anyways? A monkey could use a 3d printer. Go back to kiwifarms.

>>11037 she's a lesbian, so... wtf?

>>11041 Nta, but no one claims that she doesnt have talent, but shes very obviously not the brains of the operation + makes rookie mistakes that make her appear less experienced than youd expect. Its clearly a cooperative effort. And her husbands an opinionated asshole, her socials are controlled by him, at the very least. But youd rather just blame ol hurr durr >muh farms.

>>11000 This image is just pointing arrows and drawing red boxes around random stuff. At most, what you have is that someone else set up her 3d printer and she maybe has the same apartment (impossible to tell because the image is so poorly laid out). Is it so inconceivable that they might know each other but not be dating?

>>10922 why are people so obsessed with trying to prove she faked it or something, she isnt doing amazingly impressive or complex things.

>>11050 She's a woman on the internet. A lot of people take it as a kind of axiom that women can't have any real skills at all, and I'm sure we're all aware how much people will work to defend their axioms from reality.

>>11051 I dont think it's just that she's a woman, it's that she uses sex appeal and because there is a profit motive for so many these days.

>>11052 Sure, but nobody would be going to such great lengths if she wasn't a woman.

>>11053 sure, but nobody would care about her at all if she wasn't a woman.

>>11054 I didn't know there were no male makers in youtube.

>>11055 most of them are more interesting and less well known

>>11056 So are most female makers on youtube. >>11054 Not wrong, but also, is that supposed to justify why people try so hard to dox her?

>>11052 I would also like to add that the twitter account was constantly blasting political takes that had nothing to do with the channel. So in short e celeb syndrome. You can't say she didn't bring it upon herself when her man is spewing soykaf online and getting into slapfights. People are going to question it.

>>11057 well people obssess over cwc for maybe a decade, not discussing whether dox is good or bad, just pointing out that this isn't exclusive to women and that it happens over the most inane reasons

Update on Wu and her projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p7bl7eFaEo https://www.crowdsupply.com/machinery-enchantress/the-new-essential-guide-to-electronics-in-shenzhen/

Here's the original of the book she's rewriting, if anyone's interested. https://archive.org/details/the-essential-guide-to-electronics-in-shenzhen-by-bunnie-huang-z-lib.org/

Her social media presence does not match my experience with ESL mainlanders in engineering. I believe Timaz runs it for her. Also the PRC does not black bag people for being gay, especially lesbians. However I wouldn't be surprised if a visit for being the talking head for a sexpat's political takes is why she went low profile.

According to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p7bl7eFaEo The issue was that she made a security vulnerability in a Keyboard (wtf???) public

>>11053 >nobody would be going to such great lengths if she wasn't a woman. No, people would still complain, but you wouldn't give a fuarrrk about people complaining about a handsome man.

I know I've been away for a few years, but from this thread you all *really* never knew Naomi is trans and was born male? Which part of "Cyborg" in SexyCyborg did you not get, lainon? :) She/he (whichever you prefer) is a legit tech mega brain. The cosmetic surgery was done before the voice, so it was obvious in videos back then (probably about a decade now). Evidence has probably been deleted and burned like the rest of the Constantinople library of the interwebz. For a born female tech mega brain see Lady Ada.
