She did not expect Vice to dishonor the agreement; she thought it would help her following in China despite it being illegal. Things should've ended by getting her YouTube video taken down but if the allegations of them getting Patreon to terminate her account are true, then that's a line that's been crossed.
- danso 8y ago> she thought would help her following in China despite it being illegal. This is what I'm interested in -- what she imagined a positive puff-piece (which this VICE article basically is) to look like that wouldn't draw unwanted attention from Chinese authorities. Isn't it more or less standard practice for authorities to be suspicious of Chinese non-mainstream citizens who get positive press in American media, nevermind from an outlet that is literally named "VICE"?
- szatkus 8y agoI understood that the issue is her relationship. The article is very vague, but there are clues between sentences.
- iforgotpassword 8y agoThat's exactly the problem. She knew she had to be very careful what and how to say to get western exposure without waking any sleeping dogs in China. She requested there is absolutely no mentions or suggestions about gender equality, sexual orientation, relationship issues in the article. Vice still included this, defending it as being just vague hints being no big deal while Naomi says it's already too dangerous. I think if in doubt one should definitely leave the judgement to the person taking the risk.
- freshhawk 8y agoI don't think anyone is disputing that Vice legal went to Patreon to get her account terminating using the anti-doxing TOS.
