Mr Beast is like Blippi you see, kids like him, and I don't pay much attention to what kids watch. Wait, do you think Mr Beast will do a video where he pays a bunch of lucky people to get poo poo on by Blippi? YouTuber Cinematic Universe they could call it!

Mr. Beast has acknowledged that him (or other charity) paying for people’s necessary healthcare isn’t ideal. But until we have a functional healthcare system that doesn’t constantly gently caress over poor people, him choosing to do those things is pretty cool compared to most rich people and influencers. It still puts a bad taste in my mouth to see his dumb reaction face in the thumbnail of a video bragging about paying for a bunch of people to have eye surgery or whatever. And also featuring those people in his dumb videos shouldn’t be a condition of his charity.

Wait what’s the moral objection to his Squid Game parody video? That children might watch his thing, then accidentally watch a very graphic and violent Netflix show?

I’m not a child so I don’t watch his stuff, but adding another voice to the “I don’t understand the hatred for Mr Beast” personally. I guess if you consider him a Carnegie/Rockefeller type then yes he’s lovely. But there are people with orders and orders of magnitude more money who give even less to charity and promote way worse stuff.

...have you... seen Squid Game? Know what its general story is?

The main objection to the Squid Game video is a 'we invented the Torment Nexus' situation: anyone who thinks recreating Squid Game is a cool idea missed the point of Squid Game.

It's missing the point of Squid Game to then make 'Squid Game for real' even if nobody, obviously, dies or gets graphically injured, because part of the point of the show is that the rich and powerful find it amusing to set up elaborate games and give the winner what for them is a small sum of money so they can watch genuinely desperate people scramble around for money and laugh at them. Removing the graphic violence eliminates the sensationalist setup for Squid Game, but it doesn't change the fact that Mr. Beast was then doing the 'make people dance around and compete for what to him is a small sum of money and what for them is lifechanging' aspect, which is distasteful and tone-deaf. I mean, it's basically what a lot of game shows do, but doing it mimicking Squid Game added that layer of grossness for a lot of people.

Don't worry, though, children were already watching the actual show Squid Game, or at least learning about it through osmosis. That's not really the objection.

My own opinion on it is... whatever. It's dumb as hell, and apparently it was rigged? But I genuinely don't care enough about Mr. Beast to look up a bunch of stuff or watch his videos, it's not even that I hate him, I just don't care. And I'm not making any moral point by not caring, either. His stuff probably isn't the worst thing out there for a kid to watch.

People get upset about Oprah’s ranch in particular because She’s got a private road that lets her travel in five minutes what is to the public a thirty minute detour.

…except the road isn’t actually on her land. It’s state land, leased to ranchers, and she has an easement on it.

I’m embedding a terrible map that some bikepacker made because it was in the first page of Google Image Search and I think that it’s funny.



There are other private roads in the area, like the one that goes from the Makena golf course to Route 37 at the Maui Honey Bee Sanctuary, or the one that runs by a maintenance depot for the Auwahi wind turbines, but they’re not paved, and no one cares about them.

No, LA Beast did the Warheads thing too, crunching them down as he went. I think his goal was 150 but he definitely didn't reach it, but he did spit blood in a long, drooly line out onto the dish.

This is one of the many problems with rich fucks buying land and property on the various islands because they almost always either try to block poo poo off in illegal ways, or succeed in blocking poo poo off in legal ways and in either case doing anything about it is always a long uphill fight that goes nowhere because fining a rich gently caress five thousand dollars or whatever to unblock a beach is loving nothing when he's just going to pay it to no detriment and block it again while screaming about how he paid good money so he should own everything. There are so many roads here that are just not traversable anymore because some jackass just built a wall across it and the government just won't do anything about it. And this poo poo absolutely harms people because, just using Oahu for example, half the island only has one way to reach the other half, and so if there's ever any kind of major traffic accident or any poo poo at all happens to the one god drat road we have; gently caress us all. It'd be cool to like, have a road going across the island so a single traffic accident can't obliterate half a day's worth of transit essentially, but gently caress you. Or for them to go around the other way (which it used to IIRC but the road washed out ages ago) but again, gently caress you. gently caress the actual residents, basically. gently caress them and I guess hopefully we'll all die one day so they can just convert all of the land we live on to hotels and resorts. Reading all of the news articles about famous people with like 20 homes donating the absolute minimum for good press to people who just lost everything over on Maui has me real mad.
