Interesting. Do you know if they would be masquerading as a woman to push their weird agenda, or just to troll? It is definitely interesting when people are crazy and talented like that, though in this case the talent is more interesting for sure… their grandstanding and transphobic takes aren’t really an original or unique brand of crazy, pretty basic. I would probably have to dig deeper to see the depths of the weirdness but my brain only has so much tolerance for consuming that kind of bs.
Good chance it’s for OPSEC reasons and is a small, highly skilled team, not a single woman.
If it was a team, they wouldn’t allow the craziest person among them to be their mouthpiece
Unless that is also part of their cover.
People, by and large, associate with like-minded people. Ergo…
Yup. My bet as well. People love to place achievements and advancements in technology on one person while in reality there’s always a team behind it. The reality is things have gotten so complex, its damn near impossible for one person to make a breakthrough themselves without building on the work of someone else or fragmenting the work and have it be done by multiple people.
This is the most plausible explanation to me as well
Frankly speaking, it’s not like anyone on the internet can tell the difference. And, at least speaking personally, it’s not like I need to know. If they crack stuff well they crack stuff well. If their political views suck their political views suck. So be it.
Yup. Everyone lies on the internet. If they were a group, and stayed silent, people would be more likely to assume they were a group. I just thought it was interesting that their logo is a woman in a crown that’s way too large for her head.
If I had to guess, I would say a troll on sadistic power trip with a mix of bipolar or maybe schizophrenia.
