MrBeast. now his cool, philanthropic facade has crumbled, but before he even created it, he made edgy "jokes" about buying Black people…

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I mean in a year or so I'm sure the US will allow people "rent" prisoners and some of them will even be locally sourced!

Yeah that's the typical chain gang type labor that we've always allowed. But I'm pretty sure a random citizen can't just rent a single person atm. And it's not going to be retail or office jobs. Who wouldn't want their own prison "secretary".

Like many others, I've always felt he was fake and so were his videos. Was not surprised when all the crap about him and his rigged contests came to light.

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Does somebody have a source for / link to the drama? I know the guy and have seen a couple of videos, but the fakeness tuned my off too.

But my YouTube frontage was full of him and still is.

Look up the guy who made "actual cannibal Shia Labeouf"... Interesting transition there too

All I’m finding is he used to be in Tally Hall?

Edit: Oooh I misunderstood, thought you meant before he did ACSLB.

[–] WR5@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I loved Tally Hall. I used to listen to Ruler of Everything on repeat.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nooo, nooo, not gonna. No.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago

TLDR: I'm pretty sure he went on to write music for kids TV shows because that's what he wanted to do. Pretty wholesome.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Brutalmoose, but ten years ago. He went from shitting on mediocre games and swearing a lot to super chill stuff and food reviews. I actually love all of his new stuff.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I live for his current content! Edgy jokes & constant swearing to thrift store journeys & food discoveries. Absolutely love it!

He was actually how I discovered the Cosmic Crisp & sparked my love for it. (:

[–] ogeist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

His editor skills are top notch

No shit? I had no clue. I'll have to check out that toxicity. I've always enjoyed his chill vibe and excellent editing since his food reviews and other projects.

I was gonna say Joji, but yes, call him by his real name.

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh my god..I did not put two and two together. I can't believe I never realised JOJI was filthy frank.

it's kinda funny thinking about how gamegrumps once upon a time had JonTron instead of Dan Avidan

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

SSSniperWolf. Holy shit, she was brutal on Omegle telling kids to off themselves & shit. But then she started stealing content, so...

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't forget doxxing.

She also has a criminal record for armed robbery. So there's that too. She's always liked a bit of thievery.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The situation with Jacks Films was so fucked up. She literally showed up at his house to try to talk to him about his call out videos.

YouTube seemed more likely to punish Jacks Films. They basically “both sided” the incident. Absolutely insane. She’s just making YouTube too much money for any of the rules to matter.

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 month ago

Tell me about it. Dude was in fear for his safety and YouTube are like, jacksfilms was bad too! Eff you, Google. He did nothing wrong.

His jjjacksfilms channel doesn't show up in the search bar, which is really weird given it's a big channel. It's like YouTube doesn't want you to find him criticising their little cash cows. Stalkerwolf is invincible.

YouTube is properly messed up. It's basically a monopoly though. People won't post elsewhere if they can't monetise though 😞 a fedi YouTube alternative will never catch on. At this point I'd even welcome Microsoft or scamazon creating a rival service.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

There is at least a claim that she told a 16yo to flash herself on Omegle in a video.

Apparently she deleted the video in question.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

I’m so pissed that the quest girl in the new Monster Hunter looks like her.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The first one to come to mind is Blippi.

[–] Codename_goose@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh I have to know more about this. Care to point me in the right direction?

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Before becoming the Blippi character he made low-brow gross-out videos under the pseudonym Steezy Grossman.

Look, we've all done things we've come to regret. Who here hasn't publicly broadcast videos of themselves defecating on a so-called "friend" for no compensation whatsoever save imaginary fame?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

publicly ... for no compensation

That's what makes it weird. Who just GIVES that kind of gold away?

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I've never actually seen the video before until now. You can tell what it is by the url. NSFW

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

That’s absolutely incredible.

The artist’s rendition in the Buzzfeed article is also choice.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Sometimes people who've had a rough past are the most aware of the need to treat people right, now.

Michael here.

It's not exactly the same, and it's been a long time now, but watching Grace Helbig go from DailyGrace with a vaguely male-catering focus and general no fucks given attitude into becoming Grace Helbig, Internet Big Sister for zoomer girls, was pretty jarring.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Pewdiepie went one bridge too far

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Riolu

But I only know that because of Wirtual's latest documentary

I actually miss the humor that stemmed from an environment where everything was assumed a joke unless it's missing a punchline. Not the racism/sexism/etc, which was prevalent of the time it became popular, but the style. The edgy style can be done really well (e.g. Bo Burnham, George Carlin, etc...).

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

blippy with his shit harlem shake video

and i mean literal shit from a butt

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You kids with your YouTubers, in my day we had blip.tv and TheSpoonyOne to be disappointed in

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just thinking about Ego Raptor (Arin Hanson) and how he hasn't really changed at all, except I never see him doing animations, just live-action.

Those MGS parodies on Newgrounds he did were almost all I quoted in high school.

[–] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Mumbo jumbo
