    Mr beast is popping up in various internet news circles lately because one of his friends/"co-star"s in his youtube videos was just caught grooming a 12 year old. To make things even worse, Mr beast was aware that this friend of his was pedo for years and continued to make videos with him(her). She recently transitioned last year and that was a minor controversy of its own for Mr beast cause most of his audience is cringey transphobic teens and tweens.

        You say holy shit? It gets even more worse, because that’s not even half the story. Bro was running an illegal lottery in the guise of a sweepstake, with children as their main audience. He did nothing to ensure fairness of these games. He also didn’t give a fuck about OSHA standards in his set, and someone nearly died. In his new game show, BeastGames, contestants were starving, fighting each other for food and water. Oh, and he also promoted unhealthy to a younger, immature audience. This guy is a piece of shit. And he KNEW about Kris’s creepy behavior.

          Yeah I was only vaguely aware of him - popular YT guy with younger folks, did some stunts, etc, not my thing. But this is a rabbit hole that keeps getting more and more disturbing.
