Remember. Don't pick a side until both people have spoken.

Pro Jared was cancelled and was innocent.

Gus Johnson was cancelled and was innocent.

Matt and Ryan from super mega were just cancelled and were mostly innocent.

Let's wait before we judge, ya?

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.

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.

Oh ok then, that totally excuses the behaviour from linus and lmg. My bad.

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

Why, what did she do?

like i'll admit to being flippant with my reply, but like yr prescribing malice to something that should be value neutral, like even if she is using sex to add to the appeal of her channel (which i think would be a fair assessment) that isn't like, evil.

[-] 7heo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is evil, considering our society. The context of our society makes this evil. Using scent marketing for your bakery when everyone has enough to eat is perfectly okay. Using scent marketing for your bakery during an economic crisis when only a minority of the population can afford your products and has enough to eat is absolutely evil.

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.

[-] nicman24@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] 7heo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[-] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

That's a rather uncharitable interpretation. Do you have any evidence to support it?

[-] ThePac@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Gus Johnson was cancelled and was innocent.

Says who?

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Says the proof he showed that debunked everything Sabrina said?

[-] JakeHimself@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Can you link it? I have no idea what you're talking about. Based on how all his friends left him, I think that's telling too. Those people ACTUALLY know the situation

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Matt and Ryan from supermega friends unfollowed them. Then Matt showed the receipts that proved they were innocent.

It's almost like content creators jump ship to protect themselves in a selfish way.

It's funny you think his friends ACTUALLY know the situation to Gus' relationship. My girlfriend and I go through stuff no one else knows about.

[-] JakeHimself@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm still not sure what "receipts" you're talking about

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The video where he posted what others accused him of, and then straight up posted the full context of the conversations, with time stamps, proving they were making shit up. Those "receipts".

[-] JakeHimself@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not familiar with this situation. Is Lex affiliated with Gus Johnson? That's who I'm wondering about.

[-] randomname01@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Source: G. Johnson, whose first name we’ll keep private to protect his identity.

[-] oryx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This is the internet, people need something to be mad about. I'm not saying LMG is in the right and totally fine, but as soon as it comes out someone like them might be bad, people just hop on. I'm waiting for their side of things to come out before really making any judgement. Things don't look good, but come on, they need a chance to be heard. It's just common sense.

[-] Surp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you. Let the courts do their job people.

[-] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Adam Kovic tho, nah fuck that guy

[-] AtomicPurple@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Pro Jared was cancelled and was innocent.

I don't remember all the details of the Pro Jared situation, but as I recall he sent unsolicited dick pics to a (minor?) fan, along with a bunch of other unsavory shit. I also remember there being a good amount of evidence to back up those claims, including recordings and the aforementioned dick pic.
I'm really curious what could have come out that was compelling enough to completely exonerate him.
