oh my god they released a tone-deaf apology video after this thread went up. it's an okay response to the GN stuff but hold the fucking video to address the horrifying allegations. jesse-wtf

They probably scheduled the video to be posted and then went to bed.

man, if they can delete forum threads about this, they can pull the video before it goes live.

Like that's bad, but their handling of the optics is so much less important than the substance of that abusive culture. Being less tone-deaf in their non-apology wouldn't really change much.

The video came out before Madison spoke out.
