If Linus is the problem then I'm not gonna support him. But we don't know who the problem was, other than "upper management". You seem certain it is Linus, I am not so sure. For all I know it could be Yvonne. Jumping to conclusions about who did what is just as irresponsible as blindly following/trusting Linus.
Ultimately Linus is responsible as the head of the company, but if it wasn't his direct actions then I am not gonna hold it against him unless he runs from the problem.
To be clear, I am not doubting Madison's claims, I am just not reaching for the pitch forks either.
I do feel a bit icky about supporting the company where that kind of behaviour was allowed to flourish, and I hope (perhaps naively) that the individuals and behaviours are being appropriately addressed. Ultimately, it is up to LMG to prove to us that they have appropriately addressed them.
It has his name on it. It's his responsibility. A lot of people here are avoiding Occam's razor.
You're literally the only other person besides me in this thread who is waiting for a response before being outraged.
People and cancel culture is disgusting.
