Metal_Zealot, to PCGaming in Madison on why she quit Linus Tech Tips. (Content Warning: Sexism, Self Harm , Sexual Assault & Harassment)
@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

Linus’ fan base drove a little boy to suicide, and the mother subsequently took her own life as well.

Polar, to technology in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG

Let’s wait for both sides before picking. The internet has a history of the “victim” lying.

We shouldn’t witch hunt but this should be taken very seriously.

As for history of the victim lying… Never fall into this toxic mindset, even if it does happen you should never rush to this conclusion either. It’s disgusting

Polar,

Sitting here waiting for both sides is disgusting? Fuck off lol.

franklin, (edited )
@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

No implying that people in this position have a history of lying is disgusting.

It discounts and underlays the seriousness of the situations and discredits them without due process

Edit: removed personal attack, my apologies I should take issue with the content not the user

Polar,

They do. But I guess go off and be outraged without a response from both sides.

You’re a child.

franklin,
@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

Like I said don’t witch hunt but don’t dismiss her either, which you have tripled down on at this point.

I’m not outraged I expect due process, what grosses me out is your attitude

Polar,

My attitude of WAITING FOR BOTH SIDES TO SPEAK BECAUSE THERE’S A HISTORY OF VICTIMS LYING is disgusting?

I’m not dismissing anyone. I’m fucking waiting for both sides because of history.

I can tell you 5 content creators that were cancelled and proved with receipts they were completely innocent in the past couple years. By then, the damage was done, and people didn’t care to listen to the accused.

So ya. Call me any childish names you want because I said I want to wait for both sides.

franklin,
@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

No stop moving the goal posts, you said they often lie whether true or not is Irrelevant.

Given the power imbalance tactics like this have been used in the past silence people that were otherwise completely within their rights.

I’m not saying that Linus did all these things and I agree with you that there needs to be a due process what I’m taking issue with is your language.

Polar,

My original comment literally says

Let’s wait for both sides before picking.

I’m not moving any goal posts. I’m waiting. Learn to read.

franklin,
@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

Then you clearly do not understand the subtext that saying something like “people lie in these situations” implies.

Polar,

Ok simp.

franklin,
@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

I know it’s hard to acknowledge someone who taught us so much might be party to something so negative.

However we owe it to ourselves and society to hold everyone accountable with due process. You and I want the same thing.

It seems you just don’t understand the toxic shadow that subtext can cast.

We all have our own ways we need to grow.

Sorry I resorted to personal attacks.

athos77,

Please don't use personal attacks.

drekly,

Ah there’s the Tate we all knew was in there all along.

    Removed mine, you’re right I should take issue with the content not the user. Thank you

    athos77,

    Thank you. I'm taking down my comment.

    Nioxic,

    I think their response was covered in her post(s)… lol

    Polar,

    They’ve not responded to her. If you think what SHE is saying they said is a response, it’s not.

    drathvedro,

    Yep. There was a situation like that with LTT and Naomi Wu before, turned to be just drama.

    Hovewer, given her and LTT staff characters, I tend to believe most of what she said. Though, I expected Max to come out with it, not Madison.

    Contend6248,

    True, but the scale is completely different, Madison worked there for years and Naomi Wu was just a random idiot.

    I’m all for covering both sides and this needs to be addressed.

    downpunxx, to pcgaming in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG
    @downpunxx@kbin.social avatar

    Only made it through reading half of her writeup, I figured Linus was a douchecanoe a long time ago when he cameo'ed on some guys video from schengen, and never watched anything with him in it again. JP Satre was right, hell is other people.

    BlackJerseyGiant, to disability in Thread on Long Covid, Ablism, and Fascism

    Very well said. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I’m sorry you’re support system has crapped out on you. The idea of “us against them” and the underlying “dog eat dog” drivers of our society seems to have led a lot of people to struggle to survive in some strange ways. I think 2020 will go down in history as the year the human race collectively started losing their marbles.

    daojones, to worldnews in During today’s Regular Press Conference, Chinese MFA spokesman Zhao Lijian released more information about US biological labs in Ukraine.

    I wonder who is pushing this news story.

    hruzgar, to technology in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG

    Basically a twitch streamer not being able to adapt to a working envoirenment. Streaming games all day long to working at least 8h a day is a big difference tbh

    AdmiralShat,

    Ah yes, being groped by a man and being called a retarded faggot is totally her inability to conform to working a desk job

    You’re a brain dead twat

    athos77,

    Please don't use personal attacks.

    SRo,

    Personal attacks are the best one. Calling a cretin a cretin is great. You should try it sometime.

    prole,

    Yeah, these people just can’t adjust to the real world of (checks notes) being inappropriately touched by coworkers and being silenced and threatened when speaking up about it.

    magnor,
    @magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

    How dare they expect human decency? Goddamn GenZ are SO entitled.

    hruzgar,

    How do you know thats true? We only heared ONE PERSON for now. She could very well be lying or overexaggerating for sure.

    hruzgar,

    I cant think bad of a person who I watch since years and who has helped me get into this tech space without hearing his argument first. I don’t know why all you guys are hating on him for no reason 😣

    OneWomanCreamTeam,

    Working 8 hours a day gets a lot harder when everyone above you in the company is actively working against you.

    Not to mention, if you read a little further down they mention multiple instances of sexual harassment with basically no response from HR. That is absolutely unforgivable.

    snor10,

    Of all the takes you could have taken from this you chose this steaming pile of shit.

    After I came forward about being assaulted, Someone accused Linus of inappropriate conduct on twitter.

    He came over to my corner and started BERATING HER. Calling her insane, mentally ill, an attention seeker, and just digging into this poor woman who had felt wronged by him.

    Is this “adapting to a working environment” to you?

    I see employee abuse.

    hruzgar,

    This might sound like im a fan boy but i just can’t imagine Linus doing that. She already was in such bad from all the stuff. She might have made it up to be something really big without it being that as well

    snor10,

    Well, I guess we will have to wait and see what the external investigation results will be.

    At this point it’s word against word so all we can do is wait, you trust him and I don’t.

    I hope you’re right, better one liar than a whole company with an abusive work environment.

    mack123, to PCGaming in Madison on why she quit Linus Tech Tips. (Content Warning: Sexism, Self Harm , Sexual Assault & Harassment)

    What do we even comment on a story like this. In 2023. There are no words to express the distaste to how she was treated. Found her youtube channel and subscribed. Looks like she is doing cool stuff. Will keep an eye on it.

    Sina, to news in How Accidental Geoengineering May Be Affecting Climate Change. [Re: rise in sea temperature]

    Geoengineering is a huge gamble and I want humanity to take it…

    If certain scientists believe they can turn such an inhospitable planet as mars into a liveable environment…why can’t we fix up earth?

    The pearl clutching in this thread is ridiculous. Just stop watching LTT. I did a year ago.

    alekks09, to technology in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG

    “The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high. I was expected to post 3 tweets, 2 Instagram posts, and 2 TikToks minimum per day. I was also expected to plan, film, edit, and post 2 Floatplane exclusives per week”

    I think saying “incredibly high” is an exaggeration

    mosiacmango,

    Apprently they have a whole team doing that same output now, so no, it is not exaggerated.

    magnor, (edited )
    @magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

    Planning, filming and editing two professional grade videos plus interacting with a community of 15 million people doesn’t seem high to you ?

    @schwim@lemmy.world avatar

    “They’re super-terrible to work for and I’ve just coincidentally chose this period of the company’s social implosion to quit and speak up. This is definitely not a bandwagon move.

    magnor,
    @magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

    She quit 2 years ago.

    PoliticalAgitator,

    In a shocking plot twist, Gamers have no sympathy for an abused and/or manipulated woman.

    schwim,
    @schwim@lemmy.world avatar

    I don’t know if you’re allowed to assume sex anymore so I’m not sure this statement holds any water. This person simply might be awaiting bottom surgery.

    The other issue with this statement is that I don’t game.

    rho_,

    Being a capital G Gamer is a mentality, not really about whether or not you play games.

    schwim,
    @schwim@lemmy.world avatar

    I see, thanks for the clarification.

    @EnglishMobster@kbin.social avatar

    Oh, for the love of- fuck off.

    Nobody asked for your blatant transphobia here. The fact that that's the first place your head went shows you have some deep-seated issues you need to work out.

    rafadavidc,

    I absolutely do not wonder where you would have stood during gamergate - with the worst people fathomable.

    schwim,
    @schwim@lemmy.world avatar

    I probably wouldn’t have been standing at all, seeing as how I have no clue what “gamergate” is.

    AdlachGyfiawn,
    @AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    So you don’t have anything to say about the content of her statement, you’re just offended by her offering it when it’s relevant?

    schwim,
    @schwim@lemmy.world avatar

    Not offended at all. This behavior is completely expected. Don’t share your terrible experience until someone else is talking about how your post-employer misled their viewers, then pile on when it will get clicks.

    AdlachGyfiawn,
    @AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    Do you realize that this is simply how human interaction works? Of fucking course she felt safer telling her story when other people were already telling theirs.

    schwim,
    @schwim@lemmy.world avatar

    I guess I fucking don’t.

    deong,

    I don’t know anything about any of these people one way or the other, but if you believe her account and just think the timing is opportunistic, then do you not also believe the part of her account that’s in, you know, the bigger more noticeable font at the top that says, “To stop the speculation and DMs I’m receiving…”.

    As in, “I quit two years ago and didn’t say anything about it, but now this is all over the news and a million people keep asking and/or assuming things, so I guess I should address it”.

    CADmonkey, to ukraine in A little bit about the nuclear arsenal

    I’ve been saying this for the past year. I don’t know specifics of nuclear warheads, and I don’t know the specific details of Soviet ICBM’s, but I do know mechanical systems, and I know that you can’t leave something as complex as a rocket tipped with a nuclear warhead in a hole for 30 years without maintainence and expect it to work.

    Certainly there were funds set aside to take care of all this stuff, and most likely someone has stepped in to “redirect” that money away from apocalyptic weapons that probably won’t ever be used.

    Hopfgeist, to ukraine in Defense Analyst discusses ATACMS for Ukraine

    For future reference: ATACMS (Hint: “Attack-Ms” should be easy to remember). You got it wrong twice in as many attempts.
