Naomi Wu seems to upset a lot of people. She makes things, and was accused by the publisher of "Make" magazine of being a fake, with some guy doing the actual work. She replied by posting long, detailed videos of her making stuff. An hour of cutting aluminum extrusions with a chop saw and putting together a frame. Soldering PC boards. Eventually, the guy apologized. One of the useful things she's done is to put up lo…

Oh right, she has good command of English which is checks notes the most widely spoken language on the planet Earth. No way to learn decent English unless you are a communist party agent. That must be how I learned mine!

Quoted post unavailable.

Never been to mainland but I've spent a month working on Taiwan. You ain't going to find perfect English among the sellers on Hsinchu street markets perhaps but many industry professionals have it as good as it gets.

What kind of point is that really? Do you think they teach English especially well for CCP members or what? Or is it more along the lines that an attractive foreign female shouldn't be able to speak English well?

Sigh... while talented, she is constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and the YouTube TOS to gain subscribers. She pretends to be some women's rights activist when she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation. Yes the algorithm is capricious, yes its arbitrary, and yes YouTube is evil. But she's clearly making a bust of herself naked. I'm sure if I put my balls on YouTube they'd be more than dem…

You may not be completely wrong, but this is her answer: > YouTube's criteria are patriarchal, and male gaze focused- if men like it, it's bad and women need to change I think she's right. The kind of puritanism enforced by Youtube (or Facebook) is based on, and obsessed by, male gaze, and therefore patriarchal and retrograde. I would agree that there's a limit, and that limit is porn (yet Twitter doesn't censor porn…

> yet Twitter doesn't censor porn

they do - if it's explicit, you must login to view it. I'd consider that a partial censorship.

1 question: how do you know their videos aren't demonetized? Also, in my understanding, youtube only demonetizes PER VIDEO, not your whole account unless you do something serious, is that right?

>how do you know their videos aren't demonetized? “No, there won't be an answer as to why men making nude female torsos will not be subject to the same enforcement and never have been.” I pressed YouTube on are or would those videos with identical content be treated identically, over several emails- they refuse to answer. That model is an extremely common test print in the community and I’ve never heard of anyone bei…

Hold on, this is important. You're claiming gender-based discrimination but you don't actually know for sure if you're being treated differently from the male content creators.

A user (I'll leave them unstated) deleted a reply with a metaphor along the lines of "what do you expect if someone wears a clown suit when speaking at a technical conference?" Well, here's her speaking at a tech conference, in "context-appropriate" attire that is neither skimpy nor a clown suit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt1OLgGIqhc In "She wears skimpy outfits sometimes", sometimes is really the operative word.

That's very kind of you. No Patreon and Western sponsors are understandably reluctant to work with a Chinese national- even those that are ok with my appearance. Chinese businesses can't figure out how I am still online, most don't want to risk the association but a few do and sponsor just enough to keep the lights on. It's tight some months though.

Would you be up for receiving cryptocurrency, either as sponsoring (like your tipeee site) or just as donations? EDIT: See now that you already accept the main ones Pro tip for when you have the time: Generate a new BTC address (native segwit bech32; starts with "bc1" instead of "1"). It will lower fees significantly, which can be a difference between a smaller donation being meaningful or not when fees are higher)

All her recent YouTube videos have cryptocurrency donation addresses for BTC, BCH, LTC, ETH, and XMR (Monero).

Not being funny, but there are plenty of western countries that don't go around censoring this stuff. There's one massive leader in it.

Ironically the same county that doesn’t see an issue with guns and graphic violence. I’ll never understand how a nipple is more offensive than shooting someone.

Violent content and almost anything with guns also gets demonetized very easily on YouTube.

"A bust of herself naked".

The expression you may be looking for is "a dressmaker's dummy". Or, in the US one finds "mannequins" in the department stores, with clothes hung on them.

I have no problem with her personally, either, for before this morning I had never heard of her.

With the exception of India those other places don't speak English. My comment was targeted at the predominantly Western culture of the HN audience, which I myself am a part of. > What is this mirror universe where men recoil at the unclad female form? That's great that you don't, but the point is not that men recoil at the female form, it's that men are dictating rules on women to help them control their own urges.…

> men are dictating rules on women to help them control their own urges.

Which is why movements to ban porn enjoy wide support among Western men...
