My guess is that Torren is actually the guy who told ops to take down the forum when Linux posted that dumb rant. And most likely it was him who stood up to be the grown up in the room and ordered a stop to production to assess the video production pipeline. I would even bet that it was him who decided that an external third party should conduct the sexual harassment investigation.

I guess that because based on what I saw in the past of Linux, my prediction is he would've doubled down about his rant in another rant. Say he wouldn't talk about it but then go to the WAN podcast and talk about it anyways, without plan nor script. Ignore the problems and carry-on business as usual. And if after all Madison still published her allegations, would've made another long bad taste apology video, ordered an internal investigation conducted by his own HR, lead by Yvonne. That in 48h or less would've found that LMG did nothing wrong.

Linux and LMG as a whole, are in the business of verisimilitude. It looks like they know tech, it looks like they're entertaining, it looks like they know what to do, it looks like they regret their mistakes, it looks like they are apologizing for their errors, it looks like they're going to take steps to change. But upon close inspection, none of that holds-up any deep scrutiny. They fake most things, why wouldn't they fake these things. So, any actual real measures I will credit to the CEO. As he is the only one who wasn't raised in their faux techy “trust me bro” culture.
