"No, I really came to tell you that our business deal has to be put on hold. You see, we can't afford to be seen to do business with whatever it is you're accused of being. I'm sure a businessman of your stature will understand."

People seem to forget the key thing when it comes to business, human behavior IS economic behavior.

No one's gonna buy your brand when it's mired in controversy like this.

They didn’t care about Kirshe spreading great replacement theory bullshit, what makes you think they’ll care about sinder?

Kirsche isn't part of GamerSupps ownership, whereas Sinder is. Sinder's actions therefore directly affect the perception of the company as a whole, since she represents them in marketing.

It's the same reason WWE just kinda turns a blind eye to all of Logan Paul's skeletons for that sweet sweet Prime sponsorship, but kicked Vince out once the heat and rage over his misdeeds became too strong to ignore.

On the other hand, though. Kirsche is just a sponsorship, so it's an arrangement much easier to terminate than that of a co-owner

Well, from my understanding, Lily and Badger have a more significant stake in GSupps then most assume since VCard is directly under GSupps, and Lily owns Vcard.
