        Yeah but he has ties to a known pedophile, and even had art by said pedo on the wall in the background of some videos, so there’s that.

          I only know the guy from the thumbnails and dead eyes. But this really feels like reaching for a justification to hate.

          If you’ve seen (also past tense) any movie by, for example, Bryan Singer, you have consumed art made by a pedophile.

          I’m not defending him (I honestly don’t care about him), all I’m saying is that without any context, these kind of statements are kinda cheap and meaningless.

            “I’m not educated on what the man has done, but I’m going to spout my uninformed opinion, anyway.”

            Funny how the Internet is a tool to be able to look up the context in only a few minutes.

              Can’t talk, too busy vetting the distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers and partners to those distributors and manufacturers of every item and service that I own or otherwise use for reprehensible behavior or views.

              Look I get what you’re saying but we’re not omnipotent. I’m sure there’s probably some product that you use that’s tied to a pedo or a racist or something that you’re simply not aware of yet. I’m also not defending Mr beast, frankly I only have the vaguest idea who he is.
