Linus Tech Tips, one of the largest tech Youtube channels, suddenly begins referring to one of their male crew as "Emily" and "she".
I've been watching these guys for years, since they were running their server out of bathtub in Linus' house. I had already stopped watching the podcast recently because of some of the nonsense their editors would slip into the notes. Now they just throw some frosted tips on an obese, balding man and suddenly start calling him "Emily".
I am so sick of this bullshit infecting every part of the entertainment industry. I just want to relax with some funny tech videos and I get a [redacted] shoved in my face. I can't be the only one annoyed by this as the video link gets auto-deleted at pReddit KiA2.
Why did they insist on putting this guy in front of the camera in the first place? It was a pity gesture from the get go, even before the transjesterization. This guy is the very antithesis to a video host: morbidly obese, a homely face, awkward.
At this point they're taking advantage of him. In normal times they would have brought in a psychotherapist for an intervention.
He's very knowledgeable, and a guy who just explains stuff without being as highly strung as Linus. I don't think putting him on the air is in any way a pity gesture. I'm not pro-fat by any means, but I enjoyed videos in which he made an appearance simply because of all this.
That's just Clarkson aging, even Hammond is getting a bit chonky in his old age.
Watching the latest GT when they went to Northern Norway and Sweden, they all seemed noticeably to old for the old hijinks, it felt far more scripted and set up than the old specials.
Maybe I have low standards, but his presentation seems fine. Massively obese people are always difficult to look at. I actually though well of Linus for putting this guy on. When you start using fat people as models, that's ridiculous. Fat people presenting information is fine. Based on my assessment of morbidly obese people, they're dumber than average. That's one reason you don't see a lot of hugely obese smart people. But you see a lot of em with quite a few extra pounds on.
I feel that. I'm a software eng and I feel like I have to eat basically 1/3 of what I used to just to stay normal BMI. It's even harder since my employer moved us to work from home.
It'll get better when I finish building my gym in the basement but it's easy to see why IT people get fat.
Yeah I'm not obese, but I have a few extra on me. I mean literally a few, <10. It's really hard to work (ie sit on ass) every day and then go to the gym. In the sense of: I'll start the day fine and then 9 hours into it just be like fuck it I don't want to go to the gym any more and THEN have to finish my work. Some days.
What I should do is go in the morning.
I don't think it's any different from why anyone else is obese, though. You do even less physical work than many jobs where people at least walk around. But that's a matter of degree.
Anthony was very knowledgeable about both hardware and software. That is why he was brought on the show. No one was watching Linus tech tips based on how the people on it looked… people will probably stop with people calling Anthony Emily though.
I mean, it's a guy who has earrings. Are you really surprised that he is liberal?
I was actually rather impressed with Linus that when talking about politics, when someone was surprised that in Arizona, Democrats opposed a law helping consumers vs. Apple and supported it, Linus said (paraphrased) that politicians will do whatever will get them into office.
That was impressive insight. That is way beyond what the average normie thinks.
He almost strikes me as a Canadian who just hasn't figured out his country is going to pot yet. He is polite, tolerant, and doesn't seem to have it out for anyone. And I don't know where they are in Canada, but it doesn't seem like a total shithole. So it's kind of like he's hung up on Canadian socialism that may have worked at one point. Now that they're being invaded, it doesn't work.
It seems like the guy banked a lot of positive social credit with online geek community over the years, including with a lot of people here, and he still hasn't burnt it all away yet with his Twitter behavior. So people want to give him the benefit of the doubt and not believe he's the insane brainwashed liberal that he is.
Yeah he was really bad on twitter with some really authoritarian and malicious takes. He has said on a video that he has taken a step back from social media as it brought out the worst in him... but it was a mask off moment.
Maybe it's just me but the look on his face (whatever his name is, the land whale) when Linus says Emily just seems to scream "haha you do what I say" if that's any way to put it.
I haven't liked that channel in ages, but it continues to be a blow when these huge channels treat this shit as if it's normal. Are they getting some sort of kickbacks from ESG or something? Mr. Beast did it too, I think that was the one?
One of my first Sowell books that I read was one that I thought described the woke cancer rather well. I thought it was written the year before, in 2017, or something.
Turns out, it was from 1995. Just how long as has this been going on?
The 60s was just the public test. The decay started as soon as exiled jewish academics (critical theorists) from Europe found homes in radical universities in the US, which happened in the 30s. Following that, the decay occurred quietly in the academic realm. One example being the lawsuit against Harvard for capping jewish admits.
Yes, and there were anti-communist elements fighting it. That effort collapsed once jewish elements in academia, entertainment, business, and politics all began to mobilize in unison.
Yeah, a lot of stuff from Yuri Bezemov sounds fascinating.
That said, I'm a bit skeptical about him because sometimes it sounds as if he's just echoing standard right-wing talking points, at least those of the time. For example, I don't think that Medicare was part of "demoralization", whether or not you think that such government programs are good or bad.
How isn't it? It'd be one thing if our tax dollars were spent effectively and we got what we paid for, but we don't. We lose all this money to the government then can't afford shit.
After Skool is a group that does hand-drawn whiteboard animations for a variety of speakers. Now, they are up front with the fact that all (or most) of their speakers are chosen because they are counter-culture, and that leads to weird bedfellows.
If that thing throws a fit and youtube demonetizes the channel and/or pisses off the advertisers such that they don't advertise on his channel, Linus is done. And I suspect everyone involved knows this.
You could argue that he doesn't need the money or the hassle or anything, and in a sense you're right. But I'd guess he also wants to do right by his employees who would be out a job if that happened. Maybe he could sell the business, but he's also the very public face of the business; and what would it be worth if he no longer was?
All assuming he's not enthusiastically supporting all this, which I'm not sure is a reasonable assumption to make given the last 3 years.
I don't know if you've ever listened to the WAN show when anything political, moral or ethical comes up, but Linus is a genuine canadian liberal retard. He would do this for free.
Apparently, he made a video two weeks ago. He still seems cool. I think he's just one of the vulnerable people who are groomed into this cult. Would anyone be surprised if he is autistic?
I still like Linus. It's one thing to support the truth in institutions, but in person it's complicated because the blob is mentally ill, so it's like your employee thinks they're Napoleon but you can't fire them because there are laws against discriminating against mentally ill Napoleons - all you can really do is avoid upsetting them. This is why anti-discrimination laws need to be repealed across the board.
I’m not excusing it because no one should be playing along with these stupid fantasies, but it seems like this fucker put Linus between a rock and a hard place. I’m sure he doesn’t believe that this guy is an actual woman. I’m sure his wife doesn’t believe it either. It’s just that in order to keep his business running he has to comply with the trans mafia. They run the Canadian government and YouTube.
At the end of the day, I get him having to do this, but I have no sympathy for him. He knew what his government was doing and he knew YouTube has crazy rules. He should’ve gotten out once the writing was on the wall. He has his own website. He has people that can make a video player in a matter of hours. He would probably lose a few million subs, but he would still make bank.
Yeah being in Canada means Linus has absolutely no choice but to play into Anthony’s delusions. Really sucks. Even if he were to fight back against it, go completely to float plane, the Canadian government would destroy him. They have arrested people for less.
I still have sympathy for him. He started his business before Canada went completely off the deep end. If he packed everything up and moved there’s a good chance it would have killed his business.
I almost feel bad for Linus. If Linus gets rid of him or even moves him to behind the camera he'd be fucking destroyed in court. If Linus does anything but play along with the utter insanity he's fucking ruined.
This is why "who cares if a man wants to wear a dress" or any such statement is cuck speak.
In America we have this thing called "right to work" which ironically means Linus could come in to work one day, say "you're fired", and never talk about it with anybody or on air.
In most states he'd be legally protected unless he actually said why.
The alphabet mob would still come after him though.
Hmmm skimmed through the first 30 comments. No negative comments about the tranny lol. I guess they have moderators and chat filters to remove comments.
A lot of the default normies think they are helping.
Instead, they're just enabling these people to be fucking slaughtered. I mean that quite literally. Whatever problems this guy had with his emotions and psychology before will not be getting better, only worse.
Linus is the fucking cuck who celebrated the births of his half breed children NOT because life is beautiful. But because “breed out muh racism. Muh white race bad!”
I don’t think the timing of this and Linus stepping down as CEO are a coincidence. I haven’t watched just a whole lot of LTT videos, only becoming aware of the channel within the last couple of years or so, so I don’t know what kind of people any of them are. But given that Canada is Canada, if I were in Linus’s shoes and one of my people decided they were gonna troon out I’d quit too. He was in a no win situation. Because you know that he has to know that it’s not going to be good for the channel.
Kinda funny, I just skimmed through a bit. There's plenty of scenes where they show "Emily," then cut back to gameplay or a different camera angle when "she" speaks.
Also, I didn't watch the channel too much, but I always thought Anthony was vastly overrated anyway. I never got the love, and even when he was just a guy, instead of stunning and brave, it seemed to be almost participation trophy adoration. He's a fat dude, probably with autism, very awkward, who seems to relish his identity as the fat awkward nerd. Sort of simultaneously smarmy and self deprecating. Kind of a perfect fit for the trans nonsense. He just turned up the smug cringe to eleven.
Linus has been acting woke for a few years now. I unsubbed a few months ago and then this happened. I want nothing to do with watching them anymore. I'll just learn about tech the old fashioned way. I was already tired of the click bait titles.
GN is great but they don't do the crazy server stuff that LTT does. I stopped watching Jay a while back, I don't remember why, I'll have to give him another shot.

rofl, but consider the following.
Why did they insist on putting this guy in front of the camera in the first place? It was a pity gesture from the get go, even before the transjesterization. This guy is the very antithesis to a video host: morbidly obese, a homely face, awkward.
At this point they're taking advantage of him. In normal times they would have brought in a psychotherapist for an intervention.

Maybe there's something wrong with me. I dunno.
Jeremy Clarkson isn't exactly the picture of health and he's on TV all the time because he's knowledgeable and good at presenting information.
Comparing this dude with Jeremy Clarkson. What on ...
Clarkson is better than Anthony in every category, the point is that if you're a good presenter you don't have to be attractive.
That's just Clarkson aging, even Hammond is getting a bit chonky in his old age.
Watching the latest GT when they went to Northern Norway and Sweden, they all seemed noticeably to old for the old hijinks, it felt far more scripted and set up than the old specials.
Maybe I have low standards, but his presentation seems fine. Massively obese people are always difficult to look at. I actually though well of Linus for putting this guy on. When you start using fat people as models, that's ridiculous. Fat people presenting information is fine. Based on my assessment of morbidly obese people, they're dumber than average. That's one reason you don't see a lot of hugely obese smart people. But you see a lot of em with quite a few extra pounds on.
IT has a lot of overweight/obese people but that is caused mostly due to the job not really promoting a healthy lifestyle.
I feel that. I'm a software eng and I feel like I have to eat basically 1/3 of what I used to just to stay normal BMI. It's even harder since my employer moved us to work from home.
It'll get better when I finish building my gym in the basement but it's easy to see why IT people get fat.
I go to the actual gym just to get out of the house. But to each his own.
Hard to juggle that with kids under 3. But I agree. Once I can make it work I will.
Yeah I'm not obese, but I have a few extra on me. I mean literally a few, <10. It's really hard to work (ie sit on ass) every day and then go to the gym. In the sense of: I'll start the day fine and then 9 hours into it just be like fuck it I don't want to go to the gym any more and THEN have to finish my work. Some days.

I was actually rather impressed with Linus that when talking about politics, when someone was surprised that in Arizona, Democrats opposed a law helping consumers vs. Apple and supported it, Linus said (paraphrased) that politicians will do whatever will get them into office.

Now that they're being invaded, it doesn't work.
Linus was pro vaccine mandate and anti freedom convoy, he was pretty nasty about it on Twitter.
It seems like the guy banked a lot of positive social credit with online geek community over the years, including with a lot of people here, and he still hasn't burnt it all away yet with his Twitter behavior. So people want to give him the benefit of the doubt and not believe he's the insane brainwashed liberal that he is.
Yeah somebody else had to point the Twitter thing out to me. I've never seen any Linus tweets.
Oh, never seen him on Twitter. People do tend to be nasty there. The algo and everything encourages it. It's one reason I don't go there much.
Yeah he was really bad on twitter with some really authoritarian and malicious takes. He has said on a video that he has taken a step back from social media as it brought out the worst in him... but it was a mask off moment.
Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips has been a Wokeshevik for a long time.

What the fuck is he talking about? When, in 2020, did "miscegenation" become criminalized?
...
WAIT, That was about George Floyd????
Are you fucking retarded?
Well he's Canadian so yes he is fucking retarded. They all are.
Maybe it's just me but the look on his face (whatever his name is, the land whale) when Linus says Emily just seems to scream "haha you do what I say" if that's any way to put it.

Commie ideological poison existed in the US before ww1.
Yes, and there were anti-communist elements fighting it. That effort collapsed once jewish elements in academia, entertainment, business, and politics all began to mobilize in unison.
Yeah, a lot of stuff from Yuri Bezemov sounds fascinating.
That said, I'm a bit skeptical about him because sometimes it sounds as if he's just echoing standard right-wing talking points, at least those of the time. For example, I don't think that Medicare was part of "demoralization", whether or not you think that such government programs are good or bad.
The amount of taxes you have to pay for subpar service is pretty demoralizing. Medicare is all the worse bits of insurance, run by the government.
Right, but that's not the 'demoralization' he talks about.
How isn't it? It'd be one thing if our tax dollars were spent effectively and we got what we paid for, but we don't. We lose all this money to the government then can't afford shit.
A fan of both Sowell and After Skool? Welcome, my brudda!
After Skool is a group that does hand-drawn whiteboard animations for a variety of speakers. Now, they are up front with the fact that all (or most) of their speakers are chosen because they are counter-culture, and that leads to weird bedfellows.

Ya because they are managed "talent" from this agency called Night. Guess who owns Night? Hahah
Ah crap, I liked that guy. He seemed cool.
Apparently, he made a video two weeks ago. He still seems cool. I think he's just one of the vulnerable people who are groomed into this cult. Would anyone be surprised if he is autistic?
I bet his dick moves a little when he hears "Emily". He hasn't felt this alive in a decade.
The heart disease and diabetes will take care of that soon enough.
I still like Linus. It's one thing to support the truth in institutions, but in person it's complicated because the blob is mentally ill, so it's like your employee thinks they're Napoleon but you can't fire them because there are laws against discriminating against mentally ill Napoleons - all you can really do is avoid upsetting them.

Just unsubbed.
wtf is that anthony?
Yes
Was...

So yeah. Cucks are gonna cuck.
Ew, really? Celebrating birth because genocide is really fucking twisted. That's way up there on the list.
I don’t think the timing of this and Linus stepping down as CEO are a coincidence. I haven’t watched just a whole lot of LTT videos, only becoming aware of the channel within the last couple of years or so, so I don’t know what kind of people any of them are.

Because you know that he has to know that it’s not going to be good for the channel.
Funny it's right after he sells out and steps down as his company head
He didn’t sell his company. The announcement of him stepping down from ceo is literally just hiring someone to manage day to day.
Kinda funny, I just skimmed through a bit. There's plenty of scenes where they show "Emily," then cut back to gameplay or a different camera angle when "she" speaks.

Women in tech!
This guy,jim sterling and a few others have suddenly decided to do this makes it look as if they have been paid or pushed into doing it.

Replacements. With moar calories.
Kanadian. Get jiggy with it. Or else.
GN is great but they don't do the crazy server stuff that LTT does. I stopped watching Jay a while back, I don't remember why, I'll have to give him another shot.
I bet gamers nexus will be next lol. I mean tech jesus got the hair already hehehe.
