I have been watching Linus on and off since the NCIX days, but given all the news i’ve read over the last few days (including the disturbing sexual harassment/workplace culture details), he is breaking my heart, going down I path I cant follow.

    Nah dude. GN called them out on their technical bullshit about a week ago. Linus then proceeded to shift blame and gaslight like a sociopath. GN made some additional brief commentary about how they were dismayed by his reaction, and left it at that. Then one of LMG’s until-very-recently-employees came out about some (at this point, admittedly uncorroborated, but) pretty heinous abuse she had suffered while working there, including sexual harassment, to the degree that she engaged in self-harm.

    Linus is showing us who he really is with how he’s responded to this sequence of events. I, for one, believe him - but that’s probably largely due to the fact that I entirely cut off contact with one of my best friends a couple years ago after some stuff came out that made it abundantly clear that he was a complete and total psychopath, and just really good at hiding it, so I’m probably overly sensitive to things like this.
