      Lmao he’s the owner, so he ain’t going anywhere. They would water down whatever negative impact he had in order to keep him clean. He’s not been implicated directly by the victim anyway, if that matters. In a way all of this is his fault because he pushed his workers to burnout because of the ridiculous release schedule.

      The more I hear and see about and of Linus’ off-camera persona, the more it’s becoming clear to me that he is the problem. I’m not saying he personally said all the horrible things to Madison, but I would not be surprised if he said some of them. I think it’s the same personality flaw that’s behind all the shit at LMG.

        It’s a culture issue. If Linus is on camera and makes a sex joke about his wife, Yvonne, the 49% company stake-holder, CFO, and head of HR, it sets a standard of the kinds of things that can be said in the workplace, even if it was unintentional. It may be all for show, scripted, and Yvonne may have even approved the joke, but someone new, or not party to it, may come to the conclusion that that kind of behavior is acceptable at LTT, because it is acceptable and done frequently on camera.

        There are so many examples of this in LTT videos. Tee-hee sex number, dick joke, that’s what she said, and more run rampant. I get they’re catering to a fairly juvenile audience with that content, but the environment of a ligma joke is much different coming from a situationally and emotionally unaware teenager instead of your 37 year old boss. One has mush and hormones for brains, and the other determines if you get a raise this year.
