    I always figured LTT was a boy’s club, considering how few female employees they have, but I had no idea the environment was that bad. Rather naive of me, tbh.

    Ugh, I don’t think I can continue watching anything from LTT anymore. 😭 I hope Madison is doing better these days.

    Edit: I’ve zero issues blocking bad actors. =)

      It’s a lot of techies and IT guys. Sadly it’s basically expected that there will be a toxic environment for women. It’s HR’s job to put a stop to that shit so the company does not get sued. However, when the boss’ wife is the head of HR and the boss is the one allowing the toxic environment, it gets swept under the rug until it becomes a huge issue.

        So you’re actually going forward to “cancel” a company

        … Did you really just insinuate that unsubbing from a channel is the same as “canceling” them? LOL

        Begone, foul troll!

        When LMG releases a video supposedly addressing everything… doesn’t address it… then actively removed any mention of it in the comments of the video (I’ve had 2 comments removed myself). It’s safe to assume that LMG doesn’t have anything they want to add to the topic. I’ll just presume that I’ve heard all sides of the story.

        The other side has spoken, and Linus is attempting to plaster over things instead of addressing them head on.

        They have spoken. Both sides had their say. This is the reaction to that.

          Yeah they just want to change their wOrKfLoW…or something like that. To be honest, this is something that needs to be run through the justice system. If there was sexual harassment, then some people need to be tried for those crimes. This is a culture that cannot be changed along the lines that Linus Sebastian suggested. Justice needs to be served, however, I don’t think she really wants to relive this. My mother was sexually harassed by her boss (an optometrist)…it was pretty hard on her.

            As someone who has self immolated in order to bring sexual assault to light… I see all the signs of darvo in the responses from LMG and Linus, and it turns my stomache.

        It’s not just the one employee though. Gamer Nexus has been calling out LTT for inaccuracies too. The ethics of LMG seem dubious at best and the are lots of other options so why keep watching LTT?

      Maybe let both sides talk before picking a side? Or I guess you can just unsubscribe like a child.

            No, because you’ve posted SEVENTEEN TIMES today simping for Linus. You keep repeating “wait for both sides” even though Linus already responded directly to the GN piece and his response was GARBAGE, which is the main reason a lot of people are unsubscribing. Madison’s problem isn’t the only issue, it’s just another thing we’re throwing onto the pile.

            If this was a male employee you wouldn’t be arguing this hard with the accusations.

          Waiting for both sides to tell their story is the mature response.

            It’s a sub. Why are you acting like unsubbing is such a terrible, immature response?

            We already have their response though? They continue deleting comments that even bring it up. That alone should tell you everything.

            Stop licking their boots; there are better tech channels.

            If she had several tweets of bullshit about the company, it might not have been like this 100%… but ill bet that this is just one out of several people who felt screwed working there

        I’m confused about your comment. Why assume it’s childish to act in a way that distances you of any drama?

        Why that us vs. them attitude of name calling someone as childish? How is that any different of the childish behaviour that is being hoisted upon in the first place?

        Perhaps that’s an indication that a side is already being chosen?

        Anyway, don’t take my comment in a wrong way. I really have no dog in this fight. I barely know who this Linus guy is. I just dislike seeing people being rude to each other, unneedingly escalating discussions by being unkind.
