Except she's actually from China so her words have some weight.

Nerds hate her because shes a better engineer than them. What's your take on her?

    My take is her schtick is basically designed to shortcut nerd brains and remove their ability to think critically.

    Sexy robot schtick! = She must be good because pp hard

    Claims Vice doxxed her! = Nerds hate doxxing, so she must be good, even though her claim is real thin

    Occasionally defends China! = Gives tankie nerds the excuse to be horny and ignore the rest of her crap

        I thought the claim was that they used 'feminist terms' to describe her beliefs?

        Annoying as hell trying to relitigate these three year old disputes.

            Here's a tweet of hers that seems to disagree.

            To quote: "While having a White husband is not a particularly big deal, being a vocal advocate for "foreign ideas" (gender equality) with a large platform, & "foreign handler/puppet to foreigners" is a VERY specific, and very dangerous dog whistle in Chinese they amplified 1000000x"

            Also, I'd forgotten there was that weird 'her husband is actually doing the work' stuff back then, which was incredibly gross.

      I mostly didn't pay attention to her for a while, i discovered her a while back saw that she was actually good at the tech she was making, but I didn't really care much for sexy wearables so I'd only be exposed to her when watching nerds get pissed off about girl being in stem.

      I do like how she goes after nerds on twitter and stands her ground on most issues but can admit being wrong.
