What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator. (www.theverge.com)

Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

Lol just fuck off back to whatever sterile hell you live in where nobody's feelings get hurt.

I make jokes and have fun at work every day. Guess what else? No one is making jokes that could be construed negatively. If the only way you know how to make humor is by potentially hurting someone, then those workplace integrity classes are meant specifically for you.

Some people don't understand that nowadays it is accepted that it is up to the recipient to determine what is offensive to them and what's not. No matter what the intention is.

Sure, you can try to explain your intention to smooth things out, but don't use that as an excuse to repeat the offense in case it doesn't work out. Sometimes, it just doesn't, and that's fine.

(Nothing against your comment, btw, just trying to add to it)
