Plenty of sexism, slutshaming, and circumstantial &amp;quot;evidence&amp;quot; (e.g. the comment about almost cutting her finger this one time) have been used against her.&lt;p&gt;It is a generally disappointing story of slutshaming.&lt;p&gt;Now a well known media persona in the maker community decided to entertain those allegations and ruined her reputation.</text></comment>

Naomi is a persona, not a real person. She is several or many people.
