tst123LTT: What do we do now?
VaggumonHonestly, props to Linus for staying with it. I would have said fuck it a long time ago and shut everything down. Dud’s got Millions of dollars, and dealing with dicks on the internet is just not worth it IMO.
ZanaThe Madison stuff was definitely not a simple mistake.
We know for a fact it happened?
no reason to think it didn’t
Yeah, that’s true. No one ever lies about anything ever.
And employers are never abusive.
I imagine it's a situation of using big words that sound scary for situations that are pretty mundane.
generally speaking i tend to believe people when they talk about abuse in the workplace especially when it’s a woman talking about the abuse she has suffered in a boys club workplace
you do you though. everyone’s free to believe who and what they want
So then Linus should be treated as also possibly lying, yeah?
That woman stands literally nothing to gain but so much to lose. There’s absolutely no reason to believe she lied.
CylusthevirusAccording to Brown University, the rate of incidence for false accusations of sexual harassment hovers between 2 and 10%. Citations are available in the article.
So yeah, people lie, but it's probably nowhere near what you're thinking. Consider the shit storm that making accusations against a company like LTT unleash. For most people, it won't be worth it. Some unknown amount of social media clout is not worth an unending stream of bile and death threats as well as the unknown effect on future employment prospects.
I understand the desire to reserve judgment, but I think whistleblowers like this should be treated with an open mind.

In rigorous research, rates of false reports are consistently very low, ranging from 2% to 10%. This is similar to rates of false reports for other crimes.
