Seems to be a misunderstanding by a few posters that equate him calling the act not rational as a criticism of her when it wasn't, that's all. I think all of us can agree that when an employer stresses you, abuses you, sexually harasses you, gaslights you 1000 miles away from all your family and friends, bullies you into not taking any time off to fill that grindset culture, that is going to tax your mental health to its breaking point where you do whatever the gently caress you gotta do for survivability, which can seem insane to someone not in that situation.

All I see is failure at using pronouns in the sense you should be using proper nouns because I'm lost in who's responding to who.

People got miffed at you because you did it in the weirdest way possible. I really don't understand what kind of cogs have to turn to produce these words in this order mobby_6kl posted:OK I don't know all the backstory and certainly not defending the original comment, but I'm pretty sure refusing to log into Onlyfans isn't punishable as desertion.

Glad I purged LTT videos from my Youtube feeds during the backpack fallout. Linus smugly bragging about how much money he made rubbed me the wrong way and the latest news is both infuriating and disgusting. It has also spread to surprising places. Preach has always been a good egg though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_lepJ_lmZY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtomZzkeZRY

Can anyone find the full statement from this week of Linus denying Madison's accounts "to his recollection" or whatever? Now that there are 3 rock solid accounts*** corroborating that she absolutely was was making those complaints at the time and he 100% knew about it and is caught lying, I just want to read it again so I can get mad *emily young, current lmg staff *colin (??), former lmg staff *leaked vid of the meeting linus talking about a staff departure & harassment protocols (I still can't get over the company policy of "pls take up your sexual harassment grievance with that individual first", I've never heard of that anywhere in my career) beep by grandpa fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Aug 17, 2023 |

They might as well have told her "it's either gently caress or walk".

Linus responded to The Verge led with that: quote:I was in a state of shock reading through these allegations, plain and simple. They aren’t consistent with my recollections. They aren’t consistent with our internal processes. They aren’t consistent with our company values. It's not exactly denial, but... yeah. (This is one of the reasons journalists do reach out for comment so often. Most of the time you get boring nothingness, but every once in a while your subject will shoot themselves in the other foot.)
