I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?

Did you actually read this? I don’t think you did. Either that or you’re being extremely dishonest right now.
Doctorow is briefly mentioned in passing in this blog post. His only involvement was a single tweet that in absolutely no way mentioned or even implied it was about Wu. Despite that she decided to make it about her anyway, and declared that Cory was leading some kind of witch hunt against her based on no evidence other than her own decision that she automatically counted as a “garbage person” in his mind. We have zero evidence that this was actually Cory’s intent, just her assertion that it must have been his meaning.
To take that and turn it into “he was involved in the media harassment and witch hunting of a famous Chinese tech girl Naomi Wu” isa disgustingly disingenuous twisting of the available facts.
It’s not impossible that Cory shares some blame in the events described - no one is perfect, every hero is some kind of bastard, yada yada - but the evidence you’ve offered doesn’t come remotely close to backing up the claims you’re making, and it’s dangerously irresponsible to share such a claim on such a flimsy basis.
Yeah, I did read it more times than you did, which counts as atleast one. Cory has a lot of reach in mainstream media, has done AMAs on Reddit, and has strings he can pull for people. Defending Sarah’s demonic behaviour while calling Naomi a garbage person is what he chose to do. It is exactly how western establishment systematically shits on people, even though Naomi has been one of the only popular Chinese tech people to make it big.
