After the last post publicly by Naomi Wu being

“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”

Naomi Wu mentions briefly on her silencing and how she is not nearly as safe as she was before now that it’s obvious to the Chinese government her disappearance won’t cause an uproar of bad press making China look bad.

    I’ve been following Naomi for several years, and I’m convinced that she’s the kind of functional genius that the world needs more of. I really don’t understand why she hasn’t had better reception and support from the US maker community and tech press. I think the way she’s been treated is a combination of envy, sexism and racism/jingoism.

    I think the 3D printing community should be more aware of her situation, so I’ve cross-posted this to [email protected] and [email protected]

      She’s hot, hyperfeminine, and has spicy political opinions.

          Actually there was an incident a few years back where she was demonetized and nearly lost her Channel on YouTube. Only coming back after a large outcry from the youtube/maker community. I don’t remember the exact details. But I do remember it happening.
