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

I don’t know anything about this lady, but from what I’ve read, she’s not the problem. MrBeast is.

Have you looked through this guys twitter? It’s pathetic and just screams clout chasing reject. Not the first guy mentioned. The FlyDoesYT guy.

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: archive.is/DAfKp

It does, sure. I just had to point that out after seeing it lol

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.

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.

There is this thing called NO

kernelle ,

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.

If people hoe themselves out for opportunity, then I have zero pity for them...

Go do tricks for some rich dude so you can move your career. Don't come to me crying about it jfc

If you don't respect yourself, why should mrbeat.

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.

This sucks so much. I like Ava.

nondescripthandle ,

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.

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.

sunzu ,

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

tlou3please ,

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.
