Original Title: My grandma had lung cancer after smoking 3 packs a day for 58 years. LMG never made a video warning of the dangers of smoking and refuses to join a class action suit against tobacco companies, clearly because Linus doesn't want bad optics. Why does Linus hate my grandma and made her die?
It's totally unacceptable that LMG has never made a video on the main channel about the health risks of smoking. Sure, Linus has explicitly said in his podcast that tobacco is bad for you, but who even watches that? How was my grandma supposed to know she was puffing on death sticks if there was never an LTT video denouncing smoking? Not even a Short Circuit one at the very least! It's obviously Linus's moral responsibility to signal boost the dangers of smoking and his failure in doing so can only mean he wishes us all in the community a life of addiction and painful deaths complete with yellow teeth and severe halitosis.
I just watched a video at the Player Axis channel where they went into details about the lawsuit they're moving against Philip Morris and they mentioned Linus is not joining, the bastard! Why is Linus so pro-tobacco and wants his own audience to develop emphysema? Only an evil shrewd greedy millionaire businessman would put his own profits over the health of the community and I'm disgusted! it's like Linus has forgotten his origins and the memory of his third-degree cousin who had to amputate his foot due to Buerger's disease. Typical!
Linus should be held accountable for being directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of tobacco-related deaths and disabilities around the world due to his inaction on the matter. A media company with the visibility and influence of LMG has the obligation of calling out Big Tobacco, yet they choose not to because it would make them look bad. They should make at least three hour-long videos a week exposing the cigarette scam, anything less than that means they're complicit with death squads in Costa Rica! Why does Linus personally endorse genocide like that?
Shame on you, Linus! Repent of your twisted ways, you could save smokers' lives, but you refuse to because you hate my poor grandma! Her final words on her deathbed, spoken via a synthesizer because her vocal cords were gone were, "this segue way to our sponsor!"
