We've spent our week of introspection asking hard questions of ourselves and each other. We're ready to share what we've learned.Links Referenced in the Vide...
I agree that respecting Madison is important, but it’s not about what anyone of us wants. It’s about the right of LMG to defend their image. LMG, and the associated LTT brand, are publicly famous. When Madison wrote those allegations, she changed the perception of said public with regard to the LMG company and the LTT brand (and by extension, public figures working there, such as Linus, but also other managers). LMG has an absolute right to responding to those allegations, as many times as necessary, so that the public perception isn’t only influenced by a twitter thread. And they have, via an FAQ they sent to the subreddit moderation team. So, why not adding a few seconds featuring an exact quote from that statement to the video, to put everyone at ease?
“Mr. Sebastien, in your video from August 26, 2023 marked as exhibit 23B you referred to “the Madison situation”. Can you explain what you meant by ‘situation’?”
You may not like it but when there’s credible accusations of harassment, constructive dismissal, and possibly up to battery you do not make public statements of any kind beyond, “We are investigating and taking the accusations seriously”, which in case you missed it the CEO of LMG already did a week ago.
A simple “we can’t talk about the Madison situation right now, but we will later.” would have made this video 10x better.
Ever thought that maybe Madison doesn’t want her drama forever a part of a video update? Or do you guys just think about yourself and what you want?
