Woman angry that showing as much skin as legally possible in public has consequences beyond the halo effect. Advertisers don't want to pay you if you dress like this. The solution is to take some personal sponsors, or dress normally. Nobody is entitled to being paid by advertisers. Believe it or not, there are clothes for women that don't show 90% of the body's skin, and most women in the world still wear them. It's not a burden.

Because the general idea of conservatism doesn’t exist in either of these countries? Try again.
There is no general idea of conservatism though. What's conservative in China, or Germany, or the US, it's radically different. There are only specific cultural understandings, each of which almost always map poorly when applied cross culturally.
> There is no general idea of conservatism though.
That’s just untrue and shows a misunderstanding of what conservatism is, which is about small gov and a return to the roots of said gov. While individual beliefs of how this should be achieved will very between the different nations, the general concept is the same.

#573Unrelated question, but how does she post on YouTube when it's banned in China?

See, that's the point. That's only _American_ conservatism. It's not what a CDU represents in Germany, nor what Die Mitte represents in Switzerland - both of which are decidedly conservative parties.

And Chinese politics seems to be even more difficult to talk about than Europe, and that's not even accounting for the fact it doesn't have democratic elections and has a one party system.
From the little I understand, it's complex and dynamic and opaque to the point that current scholars and US government entities studying China have difficulty explaining it; I'm not even going to try.
Re: Naomi Wu video demonetized on YouTube
#576There are tons of YouTube channels and creators out there making videos for the expressed purpose of being sexual, and are never demonetized. Sure advertisers can put forward a family friendly image out there if they want. However, using that over simplification on this platform is more than disingenuous it’s revolting. Lets play pretend that’s how the advertising algorithms tailor content.
I’ve been watching YT, Make, and others bully, harass and in some cases actually put Naomi in danger. I am proud of Naomi, she doesn’t need me to be proud of her.
She is brave. She dresses how she wants. Idk what you decided to put on this morning but if you’re still wearing it then it was good enough for today wasn’t it?
She works on what she wants, and she is good at it, gives props to others, among a million other talents. She does good work for her local community and ours.
She stands up to people bullies who get butt hurt and upset because apparently they think they did something there and are surprised to find they didn’t.
Women have been expected to take criticism silently with grace. She matches energy, without stooping down to their level, as we should.
She is a credit to the tech community and we should not be making excuses to continue justifying this type of behavior just because of its dated normality; we have every reason to be proud.
It was not long ago that computer geeks were stereotyped as virgin basement dwellers, who rarely showered; “Remember the 3-2-1 rule”.
She can walk around dressing however she wants where she lives without having to worry over much about something happening to her or people harassing her. I’m not gonna lie I wish we had it like that.
She is a kind, brilliant, caring person and instead of justifying how she’s being treated we should be proud to have her.
Some of these comments, I can’t even.

The CDU isn’t a conservative group, they’re listed as liberal-conservative, or center-right. So not the same.

Look at Hong Kong, not just mainland China

I'm not 100% sure on this, but when I visited China (and my brother has said similar with Taiwan), the concept of old/existing was blurry - as an example a temple that has been completely reconstructed and doesn't include any of the original material, is still 2000 years old. I think Terry Pratchett has a similar passage in The Fifth Elephant - this axe, over time may need a replacement head, or the handle may need s…
>>>Morphology of the avatar in your head can be different to your external appearance, ie. you always had large boobs? I wonder when the Overton window shifted and we began to accommodate insanity. I liked Dave Chapelle's take on this issue in "Sticks & Stones"[1]: if he walked around behaving as if he was ethnically and culturally Han Chinese, nobody sane anywhere in the world would take him seriously. Imagine the r…
I would agree that it would be odd to assert that people treat you like something you physically aren't, but you're missing the point which is the way you view yourself, not the way other people view you.
You are free to have whatever self image you like. >>I've always imagined myself with large boobs, and look, I now have them to fit my self-image, so I consider them part of myself.
That's not asking anything of anyone else, and yes it's totally OK to be whatever shape you like (I'd prefer to be healthy myself) - Naomi's girlfriend seems to prefer not to be hyper-feminine and that's fine too.
