What’s really creepy is, Linus let’s his employees and wife model in underwear to peddle his merch. I mean, what’s the job description there? You are a writer and an underwear model?
If they want to and voluntarily do it, what is the issue? I can't imagine anyone is being forced to.
It entirely depends on the culture around it. Is everyone expected to model underwear for their store? If someone doesn’t want to - is the culture supportive, neutral, dismissive, or antagonistic? Are they expected to do it but just allowed to choose not to? Or is there no expectation to do it, but volunteers are welcomed?
I can’t imagine anyone is being forced to, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the company culture is dismissive or demeaning of people who would rather not.
Well, we have literally no insight into this so it's kind of strange to speculate about it with nothing other than "these pictures exist." I'd rather save my outrage (and I'm using that term very loosely in regards to this whole matter) for actual problems that have been demonstrated.
You are not wrong. But with allegations of SA in the room, the fact that the pictures exist gets a bitter aftertaste.
