You really need to read it to get the full impact, but essentially Naomi agreed to Vice running a story on the condition that they don't mention her relationship or sexuality topics - topics that are not only very touchy in China but also have no place in a technology/maker article.

Vice thought this agreement was worth the paper they didn't print it on. Things escalated from there, but I can't really summarise the following parts, dirty tactics from those in a position of power IMO.

Not to mention that a significant portion of the Vice article was based on rumours and scuttlebutt from 4chan and Reddit.

The article was very clearly a hit piece intended to portray Naomi as a fraud because as far as Vice, Motherboard or Koebler are concerned pretty women can’t be makers.

Which parts of the Vice article do you believe make it a hit piece?

Jesus, man, don't pretend to be so dense.
