  1. I don't really know who the fuck this is, apart from being some YouTuber for kids. Probably plays Fortnite.

  2. Is "discussing inappropriate topics" a crime now? I skimmed the video, but most of just looked like the usual adolescent 4chan stuff. Racist stuff in there? Sure. But we've got a presidential candidate who declared that immigrants "poison the blood" of America. A couple of memes from a flash-in-the-pan "celebrity" hardly seems worthy of the FBI's time...

As far as I can tell most of the paedo/grooming allegations are about one of his staff members. Is this story really about them and they've just slapped MrBeast in the headline for clicks?

Not that I'm a fan, but he is literally the biggest channel on youtube. So it might be interesting to read up on him

About time this clown got exposed for who he really is. I always heard murmurs about what he is and what he does, yet they were always swept away.

Why am I the only person to have no fucking clue who this is?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think he's the youtube guy that consumes dubious food/beverage.

One of those until-recently mouth agape YouTubers.

there's a good chance you are over the age of 15

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

You are correct

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

You might know of him by his food lines. Beastbars are all over the supermarkets in Germany. The marketing on the packaging didn't really fit in with what I expect to see (he doesn't look like a footballer or athlete) so I looked him up and learned from there.

Grumbles in elder millennial: I'm quite annoyed that we're in the era of some youtubers and streamers getting so popular that I'm forced to learn of their existence like athletes, actors, and pop music people. I was not prepared for this new reality.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Fellow millennial here and I'd say the common culture of the past that made us feel stupid for not knowing certain famous people is mostly dead. Society is so splintered in what media we consume that even my friends with very similar interests consume different games, movies, books, music, etc.

Everything I know about MrBeast I have learned involuntarily...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago

I think it's because his audience is mostly kids & teens.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

That chat looks like a bunch of dark humor posted by teenagers. I don't like Mr Beast, but this isn't really illegal afaik, and I don't care about it.
