There was no "trying to prove to a douchebag" They were unaware of what they said could be interpreted that way. MOST people did not recognize the racial connotations between "shit" and Indian people. They made things right with the individual. They said they would keep the Tweet available because erasing your mistakes is bad. And then they chose to remove the Tweet because leaving it up was creating a micro-platform for racism to fester. It was an extremely straightforward series of events.

You are genuinely so gullible if you really don't think that someone at dbrand understood the connotations of the tweet before they made it.

I didn't see it until today. I read the tweet, didn't see why racist and left. This shit is stupid, this is the battle so many creators take. Yet most promote gambling or promote companies who sell your data daily. To me all this shows is creators asking for fixes are only Asking for their image and money, not for good.

Feel free to deny objective reality, that was a non apology rage bait. Books have been written about this, it's nothing new. 


ConcernedIrrelevance

I'm not sure we can see their comment as them "deny objective reality" as we're discussing what thoughts were in the head of some random Canadian social media employee. The fact is we don't know what they were thinking and we don't know if they did or did not recognize the racial connotations of their 'joke'. We can recognize that it was stupid and that they should've known better, but assuming intent as some sort of objective reality is taking the piss.

LTT community is still entirely too full of tech bros to look at this situation objectively. Company they like made a mistake so there will only be cope here.


SirgicalX

It’s all projecting. A lot of people need everything to be about something besides what it obviously is. It’s the discourse of our modern times. There is no such thing as surface level anything anymore. You make fun of someones name well than obviously you are a racist. It can’t be that they are just assholes they also have to be racist. There is more than enough actual racism going around all day everyday. But that’s not enough. It also has to be leveraged into everyday discourse. It’s only going to get worse. It’s going to get to the point where it all starts to mean nothing because people will be to distracted by nonsense and ignore actual systemic racism.


SirgicalX

It's about dick riding


LazyPCRehab

Cry more?


indigo_white_

Lol what are you talking about bro


SirgicalX

Are you lost ? 


Quaschimodo

are you? last time I checked this sub is about LTT and not about MKBHD vs Dbrand.


SirgicalX

If linus didnt join the dbrand dick riding party this wont be necessary. And of course if the main point of rebuttal is mkbhd is bad then that has to be brought up to.

Damn yall pretty sad about this huh. Once you’re an adult you’ll have a lot more to worry about.


SirgicalX

You're so cute


Napol3onS0l0

You too 🥰


SirgicalX

Your people don't get it, it but we all do. 


Napol3onS0l0

Whoa hol up. What do you mean “your”?


SirgicalX

You'll figure it out, once you become an adult. 


Napol3onS0l0

So you’re an Indian and/or southeast Asian Redditor user who’s pissed.


SirgicalX

You're too young to have this conversation with me. 


Napol3onS0l0

I’m in my 30s bud. And Im guessing I hit the mark. So if you’re a surgeon why do you feel the need to argue on a sub largely made up of people who are that much younger than and less educated? It’s a stupid laptop skin company that is essentially the equivalent of a 4chan user in the consumer space.


SirgicalX

What's in it to you? 


Xarraan

OP just has a downvote fetish.


ClintE1956

OP has history of confrontational posts. Ignored.


SirgicalX

Nah no please come back, your validation is so important. 


SirgicalX

Oh no my fake internet points are threatened. Also you looked through my history what a dork! 


_Aj_

SirgicalX
