After all the shit Madison revealed, you’re going to give these creeps a chance?

The PC world truly is a toxic cesspool if you can sand behind these assholes a second longer.

To be fair: I (and probably you) don't know her and she didn't show any proof. So just take the accusations with a grain of salt. (That doesn't mean that they should be ignored!)

This event is the first time I've heard of this company. I've built several PCs for friends over 20 years, never used YouTube for it, once. This feels like standard influencer drama, and much of the influencer space is a toxic cesspool. It's not about a hobby, it's about greedy assholes.

What got revealed?

[–] Chozo@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

Madison, a former LMG employee who handled the social media part of the business, posted a series of tweets alleging a slew of accusations of sexual harassment and paints a picture of a very toxic and abusive workplace.

Personally, I don't know how much stock I put into all of that just yet. She didn't come with receipts, so right now that part of the story is still mostly "he said she said" until either Madison posts more details about specific incidents or if LMG responds to her claims directly.
