Dont even need to watch the whole video. This is all you gotta see.

    I defended one specific segment which seemed unfairly taken out of context, with support for why I thought so, and remained as objective as I could about it. I never commented on anything else besides that one specific segment, and I never expressed any support for LMG as a whole (full disclosure, I think they’ve done some awful things they need to be held accountable for). But that makes me some kind of LMG apologist?

    Okay. I don’t see what else I can say about that accusation.

      If it sounds like a duck. Ok, sorry. What you said is certainly a meme that’s part of tech. However, I would bet significant amount of money that their bro culture looked at six-nine and they turned it into an innuendo. As most immature asshats, as they seem to be, would do. If you can’t see that, I’m sorry, but your social awareness is off.

        I appreciate the toned-down response, so thanks for that. As to whether or not it really was a sex joke, I can’t say for sure one way or the other. It’s anybody’s guess. People should interpret it how they see fit. But I saw it differently and offered up my interpretation, backed with information that supported what led me to it, so that I wouldn’t be thought of as a blind supporter.

        I’m actually not even a supporter or regular viewer of them at all (I’ve watched the odd video here and there, just on occasion). Just someone who heard about all of this and got curious. I watched the apology video and that segment struck me as innocent for the reasons I stated. And it’s totally fair if someone wants to interpret it differently. I just think it’s unfair to conclude with 100% certainty that it must have been a sex joke and therefore everyone who watched it should be offended by it.
