Oh indeed they don't interact well with politics.
Which is why it is surprising that she engaged in so many online fights about politics all the time.
If she was just some hacker doing sexy hardware stuff then this would be nothing but a tragic story.
But Naomi wasn't that. Instead, she was one of the most viral Chinese influencers (in western audiences at least) who talked about international politics constantly.
She was the supposedly "nuanced" and "breath of fresh air" mainland influencer who was supposedly telling everyone in the west how things really were in China, from the 1st hand perspective of a someone living there.
Thats wasn't true at all though.
She supposedly had credibility to talk about these things. Or at least her fans thought she did.
But, in retrospect, no such credibility or nuance ever existed given the context of her situation.
