Hot off the heels of a colaboration with Linus Torvalds, we have tech youtube’s favorite butterfingers… telling kiwi farms to use more slurs

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1pbp23m/linus_the_other_one_posted_on_kiwifarms_to_talk/

and confirmed by mister tech tips himself https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1pbp23m/comment/nrsdlzk/

So… he has been a pretty mask off piece of shit for years. But… damned if this isn’t a new world record for a collaboration to age into sour milk

And for those unaware of kiwi farms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms), they are a website that spun out of the people who were too evil for 8chan. They have a long history of targeted harassment, doxxing, and torture of individuals (generally socially progressive and/or LGBTQIA+) until their victims commit suicide. And members often will approach their targets, or their loved ones, in public to directly deliver threats and make it clear that they have their current location. Also they have links to the Christchurch mosque shooting.

Kinda borderline for this board but if we can laugh at Marques Brownlee’s nonsense then it feels fitting to let people know the guy they go to for really poorly researched videos and error filled reviews is rubbing the proverbial hair of a bunch of murderers and terrorists For The Lulz.

And… if you are someone that kiwi farms fairly prominently attacks… maybe keep your head down until this blows over. Or don’t. But as someone who has seen that level of hatred and evil in action towards one of their best friends… I get it.

    1. This feel out of scope for this community.
    2. It sounds like it was done by Linus in his personal capacity and not Linus Tech Tips channel.

    Since original post on Reddit is now deleted, I’m locking this instead of removing to keep a public record.
