The theory is that you can get away with a bit more in China if you have a big western audience. She had a fairly big one and that was protecting her, but the audience is fickle (made more fickle by Musk ruining Twitter) and once her audience declined, she lost that protection.

I guess the real lesson is that if you're Chinese and develop a Western audience, us that to escape China. Don't stay behind in China because your big audience is painting a target on your back, and eventually the Chinese authorities are going to ruin your life.

As an aside, did anybody else find her vibe really offputting? I liked her content, but her enormous fake boobs and skimpy outfits were a distraction from otherwise interesting content. If I found a video of hers interesting, it made me not want to share that with anybody because they'd think I was watching it because of her body. I'm all for women's empowerment, if someone wants to look and feel sexy that's great. But, with her stuff, it was so extreme that it felt like exploitation. Maybe she was exploiting herself, but it still felt icky.

No, because I'm not a 12 year old boy who freaks out every time he sees a set of tits. She can dress however she wants, it has nothing to do with the quality of her content.

She released a video at some point explaining WHY she looked and dressed that way. It was an interesting PoV, and totally unrelated to her hobby as maker and influencer.

I guess the real lesson is that if you’re Chinese and develop a Western audience, us that to escape China. Don’t stay behind in China because your big audience is painting a target on your back, and eventually the Chinese authorities are going to ruin your life.

She couldn't, her SO was Uighur and couldn't get permission to leave.

She has a video explaining how she became the way she is that address that. Iirc she was raised as a boy by her parents which was one of the major contributing factors.

That might explain the ridiculous boobs, but not why she still chooses to wear incredibly skimpy outfits in her videos.

[-] Chriswild@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Because it's her body and she can do whatever she wants with it.

Being able isn't a reason to actually do something.
A reason would be "Because I feel like it"

HELLO SIR RANDOM INTERNET USER SIR

I AM HERE TO GIVE YOU MY DAILY CLOTHING JUSTIFICATION REPORT

AS WE ALL KNOW WE ALL HAVE TO JUSTIFY OUR CLOTHING CHOICES TO YOU SIR

[-] Steve@communick.news 0 points 10 months ago

Reasons and justifications are different, and largely unrelated.

Nobody was talking about justifying anything, just the reason.

I never actually asked for a reason. I only pointed out that ability isn't a reason.

You might find more productive meaningful exchanges, when you engage with actual people rather than your own straw men.

But maybe meaningful dialogue isn't important to you. In which case I have nothing more to say.

"I didn't say that I needed a reason I just complained that ability isn't a reason so basically I said fuck all"

You just seem to be mad that people are taking your idiotic contrarianism to it's logical conclusion.

You might find more productive meaningful exchanges, when you stand by what you're saying instead of crying.

"because I feel like it" is a good enough reason to give a stranger.

"Because I feel like it."

So in other words, because she wants to? As in, "because it's her body and she can do whatever she wants with it"?
