That’s what we all said last time with Naomi Wu. I totally dislike Naomi Wu (I have for much longer than I have known of her interaction with Linus), I (still) think she’d do anything for clout, so I sided with Linus on that one.
Madison, on the other hand, doesn’t strike me as someone who would do anything for clout. It doesn’t mean she isn’t another toxic person trying to profit off of the situation, but until we know better, it’s safer to err on the side of caution, as she can also very possibly be saying the truth.
Either way, I’m not gonna start hating Linus with a passion, but I sure will disengage from anything LTT (except this Lemmy community, since I’m kind of in charge of it) until everything calms down. I’ll check the new video from the CEO, but… yeah, LTT’s kinda dead for me, either way. That water block situation really disgusted me, if nothing else.
Agreed. However, I absolutely don’t know anyone involved, and I won’t just decide to go cancel some random people for “allegations”. Let more people speak. Let facts surface. Then we can see, but honestly, I’d rather have a court of law decide at that point: this is pretty serious.
Eh… your arguement sound disingenuous here. It is absolutely possible to delineate the court of public opinion from the official court.
They both bear ramifications. They are also both capable of apt judgements, despite their flaws.
Edit. The push back in defense of LMG seems to he 'not enough evidence '. I will argue, again, that the whole point is that evidence comes after discovery.
If i were an employer in LMG’s position, i would be propping up the former employee while also evidencing my lack of guilt. Linus is doing neither.
What argument, precisely? I’m not trying to argue.
Maybe I should clarify what I meant: it doesn’t matter what the public opinion is, if there are legal consequences. The jury’s opinion would eventually matter, if there is a jury, but otherwise, if someone publicly perceived as guilty gets acquitted, then they can’t be judged again for that same crime, no matter how much the public opinion wants it. So it’s not even a question of capability, it’s a question of consequences. And at this point, it’s pretty clear LMG is going to face consequences. In the case of Madison, however, they might be of the legal kind.
You don’t know her? Check her content. She’s half naked all the time, it’s like watching the intro to a porn movie. Remove that, and her entire content flops. Not that it’s absolutely terrible, but it also doesn’t particularly stand out. Plenty other people do better, but they don’t wear a belt as a skirt, and a top that starts at the upper chest…
Oh, that. Yeah, she’s got a rather famous aversion to clothing. I think she said wearing it makes her anxious, or something like that, but I don’t remember exactly.
it is kinda like watching an anime and wishing there wasn’t creep fanservice if that makes sense. although she has a lot of cool projects, especially with enders

Her verbiage indicates she is self immolating with her disclosures. She would need to be playing a super long con, to be doing this maliciously, imo.

Oh ok then, that totally excuses the behaviour from linus and lmg. My bad.
How the fuck do you come to that conclusion from what I wrote? Are we even reading the same text?
Why, what did she do?

Yeah, or she’s got an aversion to not maximizing clout. I can see how that would make an online creator anxious.
That’s a rather uncharitable interpretation. Do you have any evidence to support it?
Her attire, her following, her content.
i checked out her videos because of this comment, they seem pretty cool! hope u get over yr fear of boobs ^_^
For context, this is what Naomi said about that night years later: https://libreddit.acor.is/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/wn6qx0/what_is_going_on_with_linustechtips_and_naomi_wu/ik7r83u/
