There's nothing inexplicable about a woman using tools.

The main thing I take issue with is someone literally parading a girl around in less-than-underwear for their own profit.

Low profile in their home country.. like showing your face and naughty bits on camera and attending conventions?

Like I said, this really makes no sense when you add things up.

Tools are cheap in China for the Westerner, but not for the average Chinese person (much less that of a girl). Do you know how much a "good" job makes in China? Someone working in a government position with a pension and all makes maybe less than $1000 USD a month.

And a flat in ShenZhen of that size? Also really expensive for the average Chinese to afford.

Edit: I'd love to be proven wrong on this by the way. Bucking this stereotype of Chinese girls all being face-deep in WeChat and food pictures is what China needs.

I don't understand your problem with someone having a mentor. I've been a sysadmin for approaching a decade now and I have a mentor, and no-one's ever called me a fraud at any stage. So what if she has help from someone more skilled than her? She clearly does at least some of the work herself, from her time-lapse videos.

Why is it that women in tech aren't allowed to have intermediate technical skills without copping shit for it? "What, you had help? Such a fraud!"

> Bucking this stereotype... is what China needs

Perhaps one way to buck it is to not try on every little excuse you can find to discredit someone, birther-style?

I do ALL of my builds myself and keep cameras running from beginning to end to prove it. What other technical help I get is always disclosed in the presentation and build log.

There is no proof I can offer that will be accepted and he harder I work, the more evidence I offer, the more I study and try, the angrier they get. Now this shit- I write a reasonable article and they jump in to try and discredit builds that are not even relevant to the discussion.
