And yesterday I thought the GN video was serious business. Damn.

    This person waited until a moment where they felt that people would believe their story.

    I don't blame them for it at all, even if I think they should have retained legal counsel over a year ago. Linus would have come to the immediate defensive, calling it a one-off and I could see many of the die-hard fans siding with Linus.

    This story is far from unique. Women deal with this shit constantly in the workplace. The vast majority never report because the police and courts don’t take them seriously either. It’s like collectively they just deal with it, and that’s absolutely heartbreaking.

    I wouldn't say that she waited, an endless amount of woman and people in general will experience similar things and the public will never know about it.

    There is a good chance she took the only opportunity to tell the public what happened to her.

    Making this comment because I think it's important to be careful with language when we talk about stuff like this.
