Here’s her article on it that includes sources:
This is such a disgrace. Naomi Wu is one of the most interesting personalities out there. Absurdly enough, she was always very careful to not paint China in a negative light. She also managed to show everyday life and culture in China from an inside perspective, which is rare enough. It’s a real shame and a huge loss to the maker community. Let’s hope this gets some publicity, which may help protect her.
The problem was that after Vice published her info, she basically lost any protection she had. Also how no foreign press is really saying anything or asking about her. She was protected when China thought the world was watching her; now that they know they’re not, she’s been silenced.
Her girlfriend is also Uighur, which had her in another precarious situation. She’s said she can’t leave China because her girlfriend can’t.

What the fuck are you talking about? You white supremacist scumbags are so full of shit.
I’m not white, buddy.
Which makes you being a white supremacist even worse you terrible idiot.
I mean this in the most Southern way possible:
Oh, honey, oh bless your heart, you tried.
I wish she would just print a Jet-Ski!

She basically said it herself though.
Did I tell you about the time I shagged David Attenborough? His reacharound is divine
So, you’re claiming Naomi Wu is lying about her well documented and well known persecution by the Chinese government?
No, he’s claiming that he shagged David Attenborough.
Oh, that’s pretty believable, honestly.
Since you’re looking down on YouTube as a source, here you go:
Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks VolumesGive up. You could post an article by a Pulitzer Prize Winner and it wouldn’t be good enough. Hell, I posted an English translation of a Chinese article about the arrest of a Chinese LGBT author and it wasn’t good enough.
I would be interested in reading that. Can you link it to me?
