The controversy continues to grow.

Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

    It’s the other way around; I think the vibe is weird when I see him in videos and I feel like he is weird in interpersonal interactions. He seems pretty awkward and not the best at expressing himself. But at the same time I can admit that my judgement might be unfairly influenced by his looks.

    I don’t think he’s weird because of how he looks, but at the same time I need to acknowledge that there’s a chance his looks do affect my impression of him and how he interacts.

      So you’re judging a guy for “acting weirdly”?

      Oh wow, huge improvement.

      And adding your own little disclaimer at the end like “Sorry to poison the well, it’s just my biases in action but I’m going to share it with others in hopes more people can attack this man for nothing but it’s also not something you should do” doesn’t make it better; Admitting your problem and still doing it isn’t a solution, it just makes you look like a bigger arse because you know you shouldn’t yet have decided to.

        You do make a fair point, but I want to emphasise I absolutely wasn’t trying to get anyone to attack him. That’s just a logical leap you made.

        As for me judging him for how he acts, it’s the sort of awkward behaviour I’ve seen from dudes who did turn out to not be too swell. But idk, it is true that it’s just speculation and you’re right in calling me out for it being based on too little.
