The real issue is that the JWO propaganda outlets tried to spin this story into another "Wymen power" narrative and got called out on it.

Honestly, I just want to hear more about this Marekia guy. Blondeyboy is possibly just a coder. But did Mareki really come up with this? How does he feel about it all?
I'm quite curious.

Yeah it doesn't ,platter what he says, we're not giving diversity hires credit for his work

the woman isn't even an astronomer, she is some other discipline.
Also it isn't a photograph as such, it's a simulation of what they think a photo would look like

Not really, a photo and what your eye sees are based on the same principle of focusing reflected light on to a plane. you could say a representation of a 3D object on 2D media, but that is not a simulation.
This "photo" is not at all like that but is mainly comprised of guess work to match the few data points they were able to get.

His response comprises 3 propositions:
He doesn't want to be applauded (which we suspected)
He didn't write 100% of the code (which we knew)
Bauman didn't write 0% of the code (which we knew)
Also of note, the DailyMail story on his response includes an example comment mentioning Mareki Honma, again. However, it doesn't include a response to that component (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6917089/Male-scientist-helped-capture-black-hole-photo-defends-Katie-Bouman-sexist-trolls.html).
These people aren't even trying anymore. They can't even be bothered to make up some lie that she came up with it all, but farmed out the typing to her under-bitches to teach them or something.
