I haven't watched the video, so am asking legitimately. Assuming it was a sex joke was it out of order, or fine? In my mind, as an adult, the odd innuendo at an appropriate moment can be hilarious. If he's not objectifying etc etc, then surely that's OK? But, I've not watched it, so seeing what your onion is.

In the video they are allegedly apologizing for being unprofessional and unethical and promising to halt all production to take time to be better at their job. You tell me if you would make a sex joke while being scolded for misbehaving in a professional setting? Then, it turns out they are being accused of fostering sexual harassment.

Removed from the context of the other allegations around LTT/LMG, it's absolutely in poor taste; solely in the context of the video by itself, it's still not great.

In an apology video regarding accusations of sexual harassment and assault at the company? Yikes. Not really the time or place to make sex jokes.

[–] chaples55@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The apology video came out before the sexual harassment accusations.

~~While I agree that it wasn't the time nor the place, that video had nothing to do with the sexual harrassment/assault allegations.~~

~~This was in response to GN video and subsequent Linus response on their forum.~~

~~The other stuff came after.~~

~~Still weird, but not on the same scale in my opinion~~.

Edit: I just saw timestamps lower in another comment chain showing that the apology video actually came after the twitter post.

While it was most likely filmed and edited before said post, launching as is is pretty bad indeed.
