[@ericbright1742]

There are three types of untruths: The Lie, The Falsehood, and The Performance. The Lie is declaring something that is not factual, and attempting to convince others that it is factual. The speaker either knows, or doesn't care whether or not it's actually truthful. The Falsehood is declaring something that is not factual, but they genuinely believe they are speaking the truth. This is less severe than The Lie, and is often perpetuating The Lie that was told to them by someone else. The Performance is when both speaker and listener both know the speaker is lying, but both assume it is true for the time being. We all know Johnny Depp doesn't actually have scissors for fingers, but we accept it as truth while he's on screen. The problem isn't that it's fake. That's The Performance. Changing clock times around to add tension, adding in explosions or effects in post, etc. The problem is him _claiming_ they aren't, outside of the videos. He's done it in multiple interviews. He practically made it his brand, "we don't fake this." That is the problem. That is The Lie.

[@ardynamberglow3124]

One of the other significant things going on with MrBeast, is he pretty frequently is surrounded by "Yes men." There were two people that Jimmy did a video with (I forget their names), but one was a video on his Chocolate bar "Feastables," and the other his infamous "Beast Burger." Both people gave Jimmy's product middling reviews, and It's speculated (and likely confirmed) that because Jimmy was "doing them a solid," he expected favorable reviews by these people, and when they told him "It ain't good," he's like "WTF is wrong with you?" Since then these people haven't done any collabs with him. Additionally, as Jake Weddle pointed out in his interview with Dog Pack, if you supported Jimmy, or agreed with him, you got more screen time, random bonuses etc., and if you didn't, you weren't in as many videos, and often shoved to the side of production. Jake Weddle also said that Production would frequently edit him _out_ of videos because "He has too much personality."

Here is something to keep in mind. If a person is being charitable for the right reasons, they dont need to put a video of it on youtube.

I think he'll likely survive this. I mean Logan is still up and running despite the many misadventures he's had. We have a fair amount of morally disgusting people who continue to accrue success on these platforms. It is interesting to know that the first time he's taken a meaningful reputational hit was due to a trans individual in his crew and likely DEI requirements that shielded this individual on the back end. I do hear that his doubling down on the DEI standards may have some relation to insurances or something else of the sort, but as far as I know those are speculations in the end. Albeit observations that are fairly easy to make with all evidence we have at hand. Ultimately though, without a court case, a lot of the newest bad rumors going around him can be dismissed as such and a lot of his ardent defenders and fans will likely treat it in that way. Likely they will assume that it is just clout chasing, similar to when previously he was accused of horrible things because he was a white savior. Again it is funny that actions that offends more traditional values are what made him take such a blow while offenses to more "modern values" have done nothing to him and his numbers. He's also much more of a mainstream product then a niche product. Unless it's a betrayal of his core audience itself, it likely won't damage his views. And that's part of what I'm wondering. What is his core audience? And does any of this actually negatively impact his audience?

KZbinr commentators, tea drinkers, gossipers, even psychoanalysts on youtube, got really self righteous with her calling her the worst person on the internet even though the only thing that she was really guilty of being was alittle bit of a Diva, which is 90 percent of youtubers. Durring that time she had said more than a few times that the people that were coming after her were no better would one day be held accountable for what they were doing. Now some of these people that were self righteous with her like the Ukulele Lady (Colleen Ballinger), Mr. Beast, Ava Tyson, and there was another youtuber (I forget his name but Gabbie warned him that he was with a minor but he slept with the minor anyway), were telling Gabbie to "do better" and that they "hope Gabbie will learn from this experience and Grow" and it would turn out they were all worse than Gabbie and effectively jumping on the Gabbie hate train to make themselves appear better.

I remember hearing that the guy was 16, so a minor, but the victim was 11, which if true is horrific, 16 is at least closer to maturity, 11 might not have gone through puberty yet(it's between 8 and 13 for girls), which doesn't even take into account that it seems like it was forced, which would be even more F-ed up. Everything is obviously allegedly, though I believe that the assault records are factually proven.

[@briang3598]

Kind of amusing how far ahead of the curve one of my coworkers was in hating the guy- she was previously a special ed teacher, and Mr Beast's crew did one of his videos at the school she worked at (we're in the town he lives in). Eg. the teachers who were given cars were all the school administrators' pets, Jimmy just generally came off as a jerk, and he apparently made fun of one of the special needs kids at one point.

if someone is not in prison the prior crimes shouldn't matter, which is why i'd say they should still be in prison if it was still an issue.

[@glitchinbetween2067]

The government promotes this stuff. Why are we going after Mr Beast?

[@fishlobs]

this is the first time im hearing about it, i dont watch mr beast but good to know about this kind of stuff.

[@Grandwigg]

Well, thanks for making this video showing what is known and suspected. I've pretty much avoided the stuff about him from the start, not because of any high moral reason, but because generals his stuff is not what I like to watch, I'm not the target she, I guess. I did think ppl were being unreasonable when attacking his charitable efforts, but now I'm not so sure. It says a lot that this, while surprising, pretty much is not deemed impossible for yet another top entertainment. And another reason to be careful who we choose to respect, and remember that everyone is fallible, none perfect.

29:15 The real teller here will be his tax filings. I believe he is American and that means his personal tax filings are private but his charity Beast Philanthropy has their tax filings supposedly listed on their website. If it is true that he is rigging the games or writing off expensive gifts/payments to acquaintances as charity then I could see that potentially causing problems. What will be most interesting is to see how Hollywood, corporate media, and politicians react to this. Is Mr Beast acting alone or is he working for/with someone/something bigger? Could this be scripted to take down social media as we know it, creating such an uproar that people demand digital IDs and tight censorship?

"Guys would do things that would be illegal or assault in the workplace..." Me *thinking about how my buddys and i used to punch each other in the junk while weight lifting hundreds of pounds.* "i don't know what you mean. "

[@lukew6725]

So how do you feel after Dogpack lied about the sexual assault allegations and it came out that he was fired from Mr. Beast for using company money to buy an Apple Vision Pro?

[@johnw8578]

To me, it sounds like people are throwing as much crap at him just to see what sticks. It partly reminds me of what happened to Oxhorn a few years back only more of it.

[@thatotherguy8138]

Getting to the point where only a neutral, legal investigation can clear stuff up. I'm all on board the "Innocent until Proven Guilty", but we're getting to the point where the amount of information and accusations (NOT "Proof" or "Facts") is overwhelming, where even saying "Innocent until Proven Guilty" may be hard to stand by. But I don't think his core audience will care one whit about any of this.

[@pablo.gonzales945]

They’ve posted about this video on Reddit. Get ready for the horde of angry hippos

[@russwilliams4777]

10:1 for dislikes:comments sounds about right to me, that's about what studies have shown for customer loss in retail vs complaints and it makes sense that leaving a comment requires much more effort than simply clicking 👎 and walking away

[@russwilliams4777]

And, saying that, I see 191 likes to 16 comments on this video, so that looks broadly correct

[@AncestorEmpire1]

To top the cake: It looks like that confession from Dr Disrespect might have not been entirely true. Which further adds credence to my theory that Cody was never real and was a bit generated by Twitch management as corporate revenge.

[@richardplass8453]

This is sounding more and more like Jazza's interactions and commentaries of ZHC a few years ago

[@RowBærTœ]

Like-minded individuals gravitate towards each other. So if Jimmy has had sex offenders and predators and PDF files in his employment and in his friend circle for years upon years upon years, it is well within the realms of possibility that he is exactly the same as those he has surrounded himself with. I personally fall under the thinking that not only did Jimmy know, he participated.

[@calebstone22]

I only needed to see Mr. Beast in one interview to see dude was pure money focused and that’s all I got from him….

[@vistuscaine]

Rigging competitions or lotteries is fraud, which is illegal nationwide here in the U.S.

[@micheal5973]

If the things were entirely scripted they could go the WWE route of its entertainment not a competition. It’s how Vince mcman got around all the regulations in the sports industry. But then that still leaves all the fraud from selling merch and would mean that he would have to just come out and say the entirety of the show is fake.

[@BananaMana69]

Mr. Beast is Nickelodeon for zoomers

[@IronGhost8280]

We just can’t have nice KZbin influencers, can we?

[@Sonofsun.]

No shad the minor was 11 at best

[@chemist3678]

he didnt say he/she wasn't a minor. He's saying Delaware was also a minor at the time. I assume this means that teens can't have sex with prepubescent kids legally, which is why he got the statutory rape charge. Very bad, yes, but let's stick to the facts please.

[@Sonofsun.]

@@chemist3678 oh ok i missed that

[@senfrence]

Here are my thoughts. Regardless of the accusations being true or not, even if they are all true, Mr. Beast has the biggest channel on KZbin. He will say whatever he has to say pay whatever he has to pay in order to get past these allegations and people he probably will have to compensate. And after all that's said and done with just like every other KZbinr who's done something terrible like Logan Paul, he will just continue on making KZbin videos regardless of him having to now spend more attention and money in the safety department, he'll just continue making videos. And eventually the majority of people will forget about it just like everybody forgets about every other bad thing a lot of KZbinrs have done.
