We've spent our week of introspection asking hard questions of ourselves and each other. We're ready to share what we've learned.Links Referenced in the Vide...
The white savior complex of Mr. Beast videos can be pretty rough, but I really don’t hate him like other people do. Dude got his money started by saying words thousands of times and makes a big deal out of being a good person with his money. When other YouTubers in his sphere get famous by filming dead bodies in suicide forests and proudly hoarding as much money as possible, I have to respect the guy whose making networks of food bank and makes a point out of being a good friend. He saw the SunnyV2 video on Kris and said that he didn’t give two fucks about how Kris’ transition affected the company because she’s his friend and it’s her life. The Mr. Beast subreddit also took transphobia way more seriously than I expected them to, and they widely said it was because Mr. Beast content is about being a good friend, bigotry and concern trolling had no quarter.
At worst, Mr. Beast is a well meaning lib. As much as I don’t like the practices, he’s a good community guy who wants to bring people together. Mr. Beast making organizing charity a cool thing to do is good.
