I'm confused, how is that Linus's fault?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not his fault tbh, but that wasn't the point I was making. Many basement dwellers over at LTT forums/reddit think Madison and GN and anyone else raising valid stuff are just "looking for attention" as if being harassed by the mob of incels is any good.

It's not, but reddit is wild on this and brings up excuses like "he should have made a video showing they're best friends" or whatever.

Linus did actually tweeted and talked a couple of minutes in a WAN show pleading his fanbase to leave this kid alone, but for reddit it was not enough.

Yeah Reddit (and the rest of the internet) do get wild sometimes

Probably could have done some more to help, but that's the moral dilemma of looking back and seeing you always could've done more
