Looks like Linus's Tech Tips is nuking this topic on their forums now, but the drama is spreading on Twitter.
[CW: Racism/Sexism in linked Twitter post replies]
I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time- made excuses for him but now that his incel army wants to show up in my feed- nah, in retrospect Linus 100% thought I was going to suck his dick for access to Floatplane. Fortunately, he has you to suck it instead.
Yeah I agree 100% but I was treated like a huge asshole for making that argument so I felt absolutely compelled to point out the hypocrisy here. I guess she didn't say the word "cocksucker" but... she's calling them a cocksucker, lol
The point is that was literally my point when all of hexbear piled on me about how it's "inherently homophobic"
This... proves that it isn't! I am vindicated. Like it can't be inherently homophobic until "uhhhhh this context makes it not," the fact that context moderates its interpretation means that it is not inherently homophobic.
Naomi says she thought some emails had gone out to Linus that had not been sent.
Wasn't a "misunderstanding". Those are weasel words and I own my shit. I was mistaken. I thought emails had gone out that did not, and I drew conclusions about that based on previous very uncomfortable interactions- but it was still a mistake on my part- not a "misunderstanding".
the tweets are protected now so i'm having a hard time piecing things together. is she saying she lacked some information when she called out Linus and is now backtracking?
She is backtracking the ghosting accusation. As for lacking information, idk I guess she didn't check if her email actually sent on not a few years ago.

Oh my god.

Gigastacy energy. :arm-L: :sicko-fem: :arm-R:
hexbear: cocksucker is a homophobic slur how dare you
hexbear when someone famous says it as part of a le epic burn: wow giga stacy mega chad :awooga:
lol
smh how is it homophobic all sorts of people suck cock

i mean, if youre a person that sucks cock i think its fair game to call other people cocksuckers lmao
but also its in a different context where she felt sexually advanced on so
The point was the sycophancy.
Even licking boots isn't a bad thing in safe and sane BDSM play among consenting adults.
Similarly, sex isn't a bad thing until :my-hero: tries to coerce it out of employees.

damn, what a weird ass situation. i don't what the accusations were in the first place so it's hard to tell if the backtracking makes sense or not.
if she fucked up and wasn't too proud to admit it good on her, not too many people would do that. if she was pressured into shutting up that sucks.

likelihood is essentially 100%, these are nerds we're talking about
