How Do You Feel About Jenny Nicholson Hanging Out With Accused Serial Abuser Max Landis?

[Deleted member 52442]

First allegations came out in 2017. He was hit again earlier this year and is being hit right now, then turns out someone noticed she was still hanging out with landis. They were friends before -



But a redditor who follows both of them said -

cut to the post #metoo movement, when Max was pubblicy outed by many womeb and people who knew him, retired from twitter and moved to instagram and they stopped publicy interacting but would still pop up in each other's instagram stories here and there, they still follow each others and she never spoke about him

I didn't know they had any connection at all, but if you look them up you see people that follow them talking about how they were still friends as recently as 3 months ago.


I feel weird about it, obviously I don't know either of these people but I'm pretty surprised Jenny of all people would be hanging out with someone with that many accusations being leveled at them... Maybe I'm being unfair. I've been pretty good about avoiding undesirables on youtube but people like Jenny and Lindsay Ellis I really like so this caught me really off guard. Even Red Letter Media severed ties with Max way way back AFAIK

I don't know who she is, but I read this in the original thread. I find it uncomfortable to be questioning the friendship of a woman to a serial abuser when so many women have publicially stated that they were personally convinced and gaslit that Landis was a good person and nice guy, defended him, then realized they themselves were victims. So instead of her being a possible victim, she a possible person to cancel. LIke you could make this same thread about any of the women he was actually dating who have come out later as victims, thank god you didn't at the time they were defending him. I don't know whether she is a victim or not, but playing "six degress of max landis" is a shitshow.

i never cared for jenny if im being honest, but i dont particularly mind her being friends with max, that doesn't interest me all that much

 

[cubanb]

who is she

 

[Smash-It Stan]

who is he and who is she

 

[Azzanadra]

Who is she and why should I care?

 

[Mandius]

This feels like a weird way to have a go at Jenny Nicholson.

 

[game-biz]

I'm not gonna judge her, but I wouldn't want him in any show I watch...

RLM dropped him fast, and I don't think they even mentioned his name since the initial allegations. As did other channels. So, yeah, it's a little puzzling.

 

[Siggy-P]

People refuse to accept that their friends can be creeps.

Case on point, look at all the normally outwardly progressive movie critics that defended Devin Faraci back when he turned out to be a creep.

It's easy to condem someone like Harvey Weinstein who most people didn't know his name unless they were deep I to movies, but harder when it's somone who people know and like who's such a piece of shit.

This "guilty by association" thing needs to stop. People can't be expected to instantly remove anyone from their lives. People are complicated, relationships are complicated. It doesn't mean that they endorse or approve of or take part in everything the other person has done.

* I know nothing about these two particular people, just my general response to this idea.

 

[Zelenogorsk]

All i know about her is that she makes some pretty funny youtube videos. Nothing about that ever told me what her stance was on the metoo movement, so I can't say I'm surprised she is hanging out with someone who is accused of being an abuser. Just because someone makes youtube videos you like doesn't mean they'll hold all the same political positions as you.

 

[adj_noun]

who is she

Click to shrink...

Pop culture youtuber with an emphasis on Disney and Star Wars.

 

[PennyStonks]

not cool

 

[Khanimus]

Anyone in proximity of Landis ends up looking drastically worse.

Pretty much.

The number of people who've been friends with Landis warning women who are currently his friend, tells me that this is a bit of a cycle for Landis, and Jenny is probably just early on in it. We've just heard from people who defended him last time around, outing his shitty behavior this time around. People trapped in an abusive relationship (or friendship etc) often don't see it for a good while. If anything we should be hoping for Jenny to see the truth and get to safety, not crapping on her for getting sucked in by Landis's bullshit as so many others have.

 

[Nappuccino]

If there's one thing the aligations against Max should prove, it's that he's very good at getting women to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think we should throw her under the bus just because he's a fantastic manipulator.

 

[stupei]

After this most recent round of accusations, which were presumably made by people she had a much higher chance of knowing as well given the time frame she was hanging out with him, she stopped following him on Instagram, right? It seems like she might be realizing what he really is around the same time as others. I'm less angry at her than I am concerned at this point, given the long term emotional abuse and manipulation described as something he does with all of his friends, not just the people he's dating.

 

[Sinatar]

This random woman can hang out with whoever the fuck she wants. It's none of my business.

 

[Acorn]

We don't really know her.

With that being said pretty much everyone that's spoke of his abuse has mentioned the gaslighting so it's quite possible it happened to her too.

 

[fontguy]

Crazy. I expect better from *checks notes* some random youtuber.

 

[Dude Abides]

Honestly, she needs to run all her friends by me and i will tell her which ones she can hang out with.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Are we doing the internet mob hit on a woman who has literally done nothing publicly wrong, made no objectionable content and who's personal life is unknown to us and none of our business?

I mean, what are we even doing here?

If she was following him on Instagram then she isn't now. Which kinda nullifies the entire concept of the thread. A concept that was strange in general since Jenny has never been anything even remotely problematic.

 

[lacer]

she should be dragged, but not cancelled

 

[devilhawk]

Is Youtube her main job? She doesn't have that many videos on her channel. Maybe she hosts stuff like in the OP? It just seems hard to diagnose and peer into the internal motivations and rationale of someone fairly obscure.

No.

She's a perfectly nice, progressive person who likes making hilarious but niche videos about terrible self-published fiction and theme parks. And porgs.

Her Twitter is also funny.

She has a lot of cred/clout with YouTubers like Lindsay Ellis, Folding Ideas, etc

 

[Deleted member 543]

Abusers survive by convincing people who would otherwise be alert that they're decent people. It's how they find victims in the first place. I don't think we should be judging those taken in by them.

 

[lacer]

No.

the one time i regret not tagging a post with /s

 

[petitmelon]

I've never heard of her but I hope she's not the latest in his line of victims.

 

[Kayla]

OP Did you ever consider that she could be a victim of his abuse as well?

 

[Teenage Fansub]

Ban her from Disneyland and Star Wars immediately.

 

[Deleted member 1478]

It's none of my business who she is friends with

 

[Kevers]

who the hell is she?

 

[Avitus]

Not super comfortable with dragging anyone remotely associated with Landis. Super weird to even bring it up, as if you know the dynamic.

Are we doing the internet mob hit on a woman who has literally done nothing publicly wrong, made no objectionable content and who's personal life is unknown to us and none of our business?

Exactly how I feel, this shit is getting out of hand. Roiland hired JonTron, that's fair game. This? Not so much.

 

[Busaiku]

We have Sarah Z now.

[Fudgepuppy]

I would be more concerned for her than anything else.

 

[blazinglazers]

Insanely creepy TMZ-tier thread baiting doxxing / retaliation against an absolute random?

Get a life OP.

YIKES

 

[Aske]

She rules; he's trash. I'm not going to judge her by association though. Friendships And acquaintancships are complicated. I don't vibe with the guilty-by-association thing.

 

[NTGYK]

Fucking dumb thread.

 

[Annoying Old Party Man]

I'm more concerned about you than her, OP. Please send me a list of your friends along with CVs, we need to talk.

 

[liquidtmd]

Max Landis seems to be trash by all accounts, I'm not overly familiar with the guy, but I'm not grabbing the internet pitchforks against this woman for pure association

The thread seems a little in poor taste to me

 

[Neece]

This site can be really weird at times.

 

[Surface of Me]

I dont care about either of them frankly. I dont watch Jenny's youtube videos and Landis' work is mediocre and it seems he oinly ever got into the industry due to nepotism, so him being kicked out over the accusations only makes the industry better in both getting rid of a hack and an abuser.

 

[Sunster]

I'm only 25 but I guess that's too old to think of """youtubers""" the same as I do other celebrities.

 

[Aske]

On the plus side, everyone who's wondering who Jenny is, watch this:



She slays me. I found out about her because someone recently posted her Avatar theme park vid, and I've been working through her uploads ever since.

 

[Wijuci]

She should pay a $10 fine and we'll be ok.
NEXT!

(This thread makes me uncomfortable. At least I'm glad I'm not the only one.)

 

[SolidChamp]

This random woman can hang out with whoever the fuck she wants. It's none of my business.

Click to shrink...

Pretty much my take as well.

Like, who cares?? Max is an asshole. Unfortunately she's probably going to learn that the hard way, eventually.

 

[Dekim]

What the OP is trying to do in making this thread is why I fucking despise "cancel" culture and modern day guilt by (often times) tenuous association. It is all about getting that dopamine hit by drumming up the internet hate mob and reveling in it to tear someone down.

 

[Cocolina]

Looks like OP cancelled himself
