    Yeah I’d believe it. The fucker refuses to give warranties for $300 backpacks and literally says “trust me bro”. I’m a good guy. If I give warranties then what happens if I die and there’s something wrong with the backpack and then my wife and kids will be in trouble and I don’t want that. Then makes T-shirts making fun of people asking for warranties. Fucking asshole capitalist pig.

      The “trust me bro” guarantee is a lifetime warranty on the backpack. This happened after people were upset the backpack wasn’t initially listed with a warranty and a similar but smaller tech review channel (Gamers Nexus) has had warranties on their merch for a few years now

      Every time how he runs LTT comes up on the WAN show he just falls back to some variation of the “I’m a benevolent boss so my workers will never need any of these safeguards” and Luke just sits there hemming and hawing. Weird guy who is both publicly pro-union but would also be offended if his own employees unionised :linus:

    I saw this yesterday and I absolutely believe it. He’s strikes me as a chud and I have never met a white man married to an Asian woman who wasn’t a POS.

    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.

          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.

            The point was the sycophancy.

            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.
