    1. I don’t really know who the fuck this is, apart from being some YouTuber for kids. Probably plays Fortnite.

    2. Is “discussing inappropriate topics” a crime now? I skimmed the video, but most of just looked like the usual adolescent 4chan stuff. Racist stuff in there? Sure. But we’ve got a presidential candidate who declared that immigrants “poison the blood” of America. A couple of memes from a flash-in-the-pan “celebrity” hardly seems worthy of the FBI’s time…

    As far as I can tell most of the paedo/grooming allegations are about one of his staff members. Is this story really about them and they’ve just slapped MrBeast in the headline for clicks?

      Beast is charity exploitation porn. One of those people that does “good deeds” and then plasters himself all over the good deed while recording the people he is helping, demonstrating how great a thing he is doing, while simultaneously stuffing his pockets as fast as he can with cash. He’s supposedly a billionaire to give you an idea of where his priorities are.

        The problem here is how you present your opinion and thoughts as fact. I even agree with your opinion, but I don’t really care that he does it. I’m sure he is exploiting people to profit for himself, but at least he’s giving people things.

        There’s a lot worse out there to dedicate care and energy to.

          MrBeast named in lawsuit claiming participants in his $5 million ‘Beast Games’ show were exploited and sexually harassed

          MrBeast’s ‘charity porn’ shows the morally complicated reality of YouTube philanthropy

          I’m presenting more than just my opinion. I’m not interested in debating whether or not the relatively minor charity he does is worth it because he isn’t a charity. He’s a self-promoter, no different than a Joel Osteen, who profits off the idea that he does good. Does Osteen do some good? Sure! But the primary interest is enriching himself by exploiting others. Osteen exploits faith and desire to buy good deeds for a path to heaven for his viewers. Beast does the same vicariously for wannabe influencers and fame-seekers. Don’t you want to be rich enough to be famous and have people fawn over your deeds? A materialist’s heaven.

            Yeah you missed my point. I don’t care, I’d hate to be him, I’m not materialistic by any means.

            I’m just saying, there’s genocides and invasions going on all over the world, Mr Beasts misdeeds are not worth talking about.

            And on that note, good bye

          He might exploit people, he might even let people be sexually assaulted at his shows, the shit he does might even be super fake, but at least he kinda does it for charity but not really.

      Not that I’m a fan, but he is literally the biggest channel on youtube. So it might be interesting to read up on him

      He run hundreds of illegal lotteries and will eventually get jail time.
