    Per the subreddit drama thread about this a couple of days ago the accuser has publicly recanted the accusation. I feel bad for this lady, she’s getting absolutely shit on by the Internet for something that sounds like it didn’t happen.

      Yup. It smells like targeted harassment cuz she’s trans.

      The supposedly groomed person denies it as well

      In all seriousness, I never was into Mr. Beasts content, because I’m not a 12 year old. But what really made me despise the guy is when he was talking about how he wanted to watch One Piece but didn’t want to waste time watching 1000+ episodes, so he decided to stream himself doing it. Like what type of person are you that you can’t enjoy something unless you earn money from it. This “monetize everything” attitude is telling me he is a horrible person to be around. I bet if he’s out with friends (if a person like him can even have real friends) he saves all the bills to deduct the whole evening from taxes, because that’s essentially what you as a person are to him - business.

        That’s not as bad as what I thought you were going to say – that he’d itemize everything and ask for his friends to send him the money for their part, lol

      Yeah the dude always comes off entitled as hell. A few creators I follow have collabed with him and it’s always the same story: “He called me and asked for a two month project in two weeks, ofcourse I said yes he’s MrBeast.”

      In a similar vein I’ve read about people bending backwards for Disney or Pixar, and them abusing their reputation to undercut the market.

          I don’t know if they can, the opportunity cost is pretty high with these massive channels. Two weeks of grinding might be worth it for them, meanwhile MrBeast himself keeps on repeating this ridiculous notion he’s “revealing the true potential” of said creators. Meanwhile he’s just exploiting their knowledge and work ethic to grow his own brand.

            I couldn’t give less of a shit about beast but this take is just patently ridiculous.

            If someone asks you to work for exposure, you can say no. If someone asks you to rush something, you can say no.

            If you accept a completely optional shitty job because it will get you a lot of clout, I’m sorry but I’m not going to feel even a little bit bad for you.

        Okay, but you have two different people saying it. That makes it a lot more likely to be true, doesn’t it?

        Edit: make that 11 people per the NYT: https://archive.is/DAfKp

          Remember that the Key Point of misinformation is that it doesn’t have to be true, or demonstrably false, or easily proven one way or the other: It has to be First Out the Gate.

          That’s to play into what you just said! To make as many people repeat it as quickly as possible so people like you will start to give it weight.

          In all matters: Trust, but verify.

    This drama managed to find me earlier despite having never seen a Mr. Beast video. The cursory glace at statements and updates from the accuser and victim makes it seems like she’s innocent and this all got out of hand. That being said I personally wouldn’t really allow minors to be part of community whos conversations were like that. Im of the type that thinks it’s important to avoid even the appearance of impropriety when it’s in your power to do so.

    Ain’t that like a felony? Should police be handling this and not a comment section?

    I guess it’s good that both parties deny the allegations. The problem for Tyson now is that questions about this and the past Shadman support are going to follow wherever she goes.

    Doesn’t sound like she really did anything wrong. Apart from maybe an error in judgment in making some jokes in poor taste on a Discord server.
