    "Mr Beast might be a demonic capitalist who exploits workers the same way that a farmer extracts flesh from cows, but he said trans rights" HEXBEAR DOT NET

      Honestly idk what he does, all I see is that he goes around and gives money to people for youtube video views essentially. Maybe I'm under the wrong impression? What does he do exactly? I saw one of his videos and it was pretty gross, but it was essentially him giving out thousands of dollars to seemingly random people

        gives money to people

        Show

        seemingly random people

        He is an entertainer who gets millions from advertisers to do philanthropic publicity stunts with some random people, but also paid actors. Also (CW Slurs) he's a massive homophobe. Also he's owns a franchise of ghost kitchens.

      he said trans rights

      Genuine question: Did he even say that? I think you might be giving him too much credit lol

      I'm pretty sure he was simply publicly nice to his trans friend employee, which is a lot different than supporting trans people in general. Dick Cheney being nice to his lesbian daughter isn't Dick Cheney saying gay rights, for example.

      honestly dude has a long (CW Slurs) history of being a homophobe in addition to his primary function as an entertainer who whitewashes our economic system through the spectacle of publicity stunts and philanthropy.

      Rainbow capitalism is okay if your schtick only consists of... checks notes... making poor people compete for prizes while you milk them for ad revenue. Yes that's the plot of Squid Game, yes he literally made a Squid Game video, but Bart said the phrase and that makes me clap like a seal.

          guy who releases three separate videos titled "$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!", "$45,600 Squid Game Challenge!", "Extreme Squid Game Challenge!", and a fourth titled "Ages 1 - 100 Fight For $500,000": there is no similarity between what I do and Squid Game.

            his squid game didn't involve risk of death or serious injury though did it making it not the same thing

            I don't watch his content if he for some reason made a snuff film and then had someone beat up an old man and a baby on camera then I misjudged him
