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

Hot off the heels of a colaboration with Linus Torvalds, we have tech youtube's favorite butterfingers... telling kiwi farms to use more slurs
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.
he should know there's no such thing as a good fanfic so don't expect anything from them

The quoted post is not bad. It's got a couple key elements, like stuff I never said and stuff I never did, but what the fuck is this "1 hope he doesn't fuck up his mouth" bullshit?
shouldnit have to tell you guys how to milk lolcow:
The 'edge' that I've come to expectis completely missing Hlere are some helpful suggestions
"he sound(s) differenf"? Needs to go much harder at the impact on my appearance and enunciatior
⁃ needs something about being cucked by my dom wife
needs more speculation about my failing business - something about desperation
complete lack of slurs. You're anonymous and there's no consequences. ¥ou know you want to do it

Kind of confused what this even is
