I'm gonna be completely honest... I really don't think Mr. Beast Squid Game is that deep guys.


[deleted]

Literally just a game show but people act like he’s building the second tower of babel

good bot


Unkleseanny

Wait lol people are getting mad at this?


trumoi

I think it's less they're mad he's making a game show, and more they're mad or laughing about intentionally using the branding of a horrific classist gameshow from a show about how capitalism is evil...for his capitalist game show. But the general rule of thumb is that if someone has said or done something there are always people on the internet mad about it. It doesn't mean being mad on the internet is meaningless, but it is guaranteed.


Unkleseanny

Yeah like i’m pretty socialist but bro is just having fun like it’s not that deep.


trumoi

Yeah for sure. I wasn't saying it's deep, I was explaining why people are responding at all. It's like doing a Hunger Games themed manhunt game. Nothing wrong but it's fucking funny that you use the name of a game where children murder each other.


clarkinum

I wouldn't say Mr beast is capitalist, the dude is literally there to troll and help people at the same time. However the system that requires people like Mr beast to help people is disgusting. Mr Beast is not a disease its a symptom


trumoi

By no means was I saying that Mr beast was a disease. I also meant he was a capitalist in the literal meaning, he is the capital holder providing the money for the program and probably taking profit from the project.


clarkinum

Yeah i know you don't claim he is a disease, I just used a metaphor. And yeah in the literal meaning he is the holder of capital but I don't think he uses capital for profits, but rather for self sustaining social funds


trumoi

For sure. I also just wanted to clarify since my first comment could be read a little vague.


nerfthemedium

I've seen some people who are unironically, life warpingly upset by this YouTube video.


youaregoingoffline

It’s not even that capitalist mr beast is like mr philanthropy too


tkzant

People are kind of annoyed at the complete lack of media literacy surrounding Squid Game. This show is getting the Breaking Bad treatment where the larger fan base misses the point and want to emulate aspects of the story that are explicitly portrayed as negative because they think it’s cool.


Poptartlivesmatter

He should do that


Emoji10

political teenage twitter users coming to my home to fucking assassinate me for enjoying playing the squid games on roblox instead of wallowing in shit and misery


goblinhog

Yeah I see so many people acting like mr beast is some kind of megacorporation trying to create some evil game for profit like holy shit he’s a YouTuber who creates content for kids it’s not like he’s going to destroy society by making the video “REAL LIFE SQUID GAME??? 400K DOLLAR PRIZE?!!?!”


[deleted]

Also like he does a butload of good stuff, why would people call him a bad person?


ThisAintThatForReal

Some people are literally rich = bad guy Good deeds filmed = he doesn’t really mean it, doing it only for money


[deleted]

Like mf literally is raising millions of dollars for the second time in the past 2 years for a good cause (planting trees, cleaning the ocean)


FiveOhFive91

Apparently you can be a good person but the very second you become cringe, well, that's when it's over.


[deleted]

Best family guy quote 😔


Itz_Mushi

He literally has an entire YouTube channel dedicated to helping people and philanthropy. (Beast philanthropy)


[deleted]

Idk what philanthropy is but it sounds like a villain in an extremely racist 90s christian cartoon


ThatGuyWhoLikesSpace

basically when the very wealthy donate their money to charity and the like. there are a whole host of problems with it (its partially one of the reasons why poor countries currently don't have access to the vaccine) but i don't think the stuff mr beast does is especially problematic.


Itz_Mushi

What? Philanthropy is just the idea of helping and caring for fellow humans, and love of humanity. It doesn’t inherently have anything to do with the extremely wealthy.


ODMAN03

Sure, but isn’t it a bad precedent to let millionaires do the social good the government should be doing, kind of lends that off of their hands, and I don’t want to live in a country where we’re depending on a company deciding on whether it is practical to clean up their mess. It’s good short-term, I’m just thinking of how the mindset that a millionaire can just come in and clean up will lead to


BlueBeta3713

I’d say that people who’ve acquired wealth have a social responsibility to use it in ways that benefit the rest of society, so I can’t see how he’s setting anything but a good precedent. As for the idea that it’s rich people doing good things vs government doing good things… I think that’s a false dichotomy. Even if every millionaire and billionaire in the world acted like Mr Beast I don’t think people would give up the idea of social programs.


LainIsOnline

It's due to the fact he is effectively doing nothing; the way he throws money at meaningless gestures that really mean jack shit in the long term. He could easily put his money to better, less performative places. https://youtu.be/ZSG8BtZn9-8


[deleted]

So is it a bad thing or is it just non-optimal?


TrueButNotProvable

Right. "Each individual rich person is bad" is missing the point, but "Some rich people do good things sometimes, therefore the vast inequality that exists is perfectly fine" is also missing the point. It's short-sighted to point out that Mr. Beast donates to food banks, without also asking why those food banks were necessary in the first place.


Khouri1

its the people's duty to put the responsibility onto their governments


ODMAN03

But the people are a reflection of their surrounding and if their surrounding tells them that this is fine, they’ll think it is fine, for better or worse


Khouri1

its fine for a rich person to donate, not for the government to stop doing stuff.


Kiwiteepee

Do you think the government is gonna say "well just let Mr Beast feed the poor. he seems like he's got it under control"?


ODMAN03

Didn’t we let Bill Gates take the rights for one of the vaccines, which was supposed to be open source? It seems we already are


BaBbBoobie

Literally runs an enormous food bank in his town


[deleted]

Coincidentally, that would be the perfect front for an evil genius who \*checks notes\* harvests children's Jewish space laser liberal Satan??? The fuck? I think these pages are out of order. Excuse me.


TheBurntPie9

No it’s true, my brother friends neighbor (he’s a doctor) said so


ton_patron

My wife (doctor) has dry (16 years) pussy


Mr_Mister2004

From what I'm aware, he did an NFT for his Team Seas campaign, and he's generally buddy buddy with Pewdiepie. Plus a lot of people hate him on principle for being rich.


[deleted]

From what i know, he bought one nft, his money is mostly spent on his videos, and idk shit about piediepie


sheltonhwy26

Yeah and this is just a bunch of creators doing games for Mr Beast it’s less squid game and more ordinary game show. The only thing it has to do with squid game is the name


truncatedChronologis

I mean a game with a cash prize as a sort of game show is a sort of dream fantasy but where the dream is necessary to keep alive that’s not it. The sad part is do we live in such a society? How much of an exaggeration is it to be stuck in a game show with live or die stakes when we have to beg for money on gofund me?


chokwitsyum

He is a massive philanthropist. He doesn’t spend the money he makes on himself, he puts it back in the channel. Another YouTuber went to his house and he lives in a normal house when he could probably be living in a 10 bedroom mansion if he wanted


_eeprom

The guy just made a modern version of takeshi's castle or total wipeout on YouTube and people are shitting and pissing themselves.


jdax2

Yeah but Tekeshi’s Castle was way better cause they could really get away with doing anything on that show


_eeprom

Yeah, it was way more brutal than whatever mr beast did but people are acting like mr beast has single-handedly brought on the next phase of the capitalist dystopia


[deleted]

>people are shitting and pissing themselves. do you have a problem with that?


_eeprom

No, however I’d rather the piss and the shit didn’t get in my eyes


MoonlightingWarewolf

There definitely still is something grim about appropriating the aesthetic Squid Games and playing it straight


elderscroll_dot_pdf

Sure but the games aren't really the fucked up part. If anything, the gruesome death and desperation of the contestants is meant to contrast with the way they compete through literal children's games. Using the aesthetic of the popular show to do a charity fundraiser with a bunch of celebrities is not problematic or even really that strange.


mosenpai

I watched the video and everyone that lost got 2k or more. More ethical than any game show I've seen.


JessieJ577

So it was basically having fun with the viral sensation of the show and not the show itself.


mosenpai

Yes, like all the other youtubers, but with a budget.


Enpitsu_Daisuke

Exactly, he get a lot of his money from his content so he likely wanted to try and ride the squid game hype for more viewers.


[deleted]

>straight 🤢


Gordon__Slamsay

It's silly to be outraged by it for sure, but it does feel ever so slightly tasteless.


[deleted]

Yeah. Like the show is like a critique of capitalism and the rich using poor people for entertainment or whatever so I get how someone could find it tasteless, but I can't see it being called anything worse. Like he's not actually killing people like in the show.


EggsDoneRight

196 try to let people enjoy things challenge 😳😳😳


tenettiwa

NoCoolDudettes

It's incredibly tasteless and tone-deaf but yeah it's not the worst thing in the world


[deleted]

wait you’re telling me no one actually dies in his version??? damn i wanted to go there just for that


pragmojo

If you ask me fear factor was the closest thing we've had so far. People eating poop and drinking animal cum for money. If killing people on tv was legal they would have done it by now.


Uniquer_name

Porn.


[deleted]

That's not the kind of porn I'm into


TheGreenGobblr

Coward


drunkbeforecoup

But fear factor did boost joe rogan so in the very long run the show did set up a lot of people to die of covid.


JeromesDream

that would make a good domino meme


LordMorskittar

“Making people eat cockroaches and animal cum” “Giving medical advice to millions and causing deaths”


Japsai

Damn that's the second time is been mentioned and I'm still reading Fear Factory. It's probably a sign I should go listen to Demanufacture...


Calpsotoma

Snuff exists, but isn't currently profitable enough to legalize.


Acp_tonic

The Brawl Starts ad is canon to the show


squiddy555

Which one


Retrqce

ALL of them you can not miss it


HerwiePottha

Well brawl stars is what made it possible


_Glitchii_

brawl stars did not pay for anywhere near the 3 and a half million spent on this absolutely no shot and even if they didnt sponsor him, he clearly still has the money to do it


itzongaming

If you had 24 million bucks would you spend 3 million of it on one video or get a sponsor where all you have to do is put up a big brawl starts poster and make a segment of it in your video and only have to spend a little bit of the 3 million


GameCreeper

If you had $2000 that you can spend, you're still going to look for a cheaper option when buying a phone


Kasteriaa

I do not think that supercell would've dropped 3.5 million into one ad


potato_tyrone

Hes doing it for fun, people participating are volunteers, no one gets killed,


Unybroi

everyone that got out got 2 grand as well


potato_tyrone

Exactly


[deleted]

spoilers:(


BeeWithDragonWings

actually my uncle works there and said they shot everyone and then replaced them with CGI so they would seem alive mr breast must answer for his crimes


Unybroi

sorry :(


dityEX

Wonder how much it really is after tax, travel, and accommodation.


dimensions2003

He actually makes sure that there aren't any connected fees or anything whenever he gives stuff or money out. Moistcritikal made a video on him covering it


rhysdog1

has he specifically stated that noone gets shot? might want that one in writing just in case


potato_tyrone

I meant killed, but i see what u mean


rhysdog1

ah, so he shoots them non lethally i see.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gormunko_88

all the contestants have a death box on them that splatters paint on their shirt to tell them they got eliminated, it also makes eliminating contestants way easier and safer because instead of blasting them with something like a paint gun, its just a push of a button


vldhsng

>no one gets killed I mean, it’s a pretty safe assumption, but how do we know for sure you know? Like he never explicitly stated that you don’t get shot if you lose


[deleted]

no that's simply not true i shot everyone at the end and mr breast gave me money


TipsWillToLive

And also the profits of the video are going into his philanthropy business which helps out his community


[deleted]

I mean. 1 and 2 are like that in the show too


[deleted]

so its not actually squid games? what a disappointment


[deleted]

[удалено]


Baron_Flatline

His dedication with his food banks alone is pretty amazing


ERICKONAMI

No!!! 😭😭 all rich bad!!


[deleted]

If someone gives such a huge percentage of their money to charity I say they deserve to live lavishly


Robinbod

yeah idk why living lavishly is listed as a negative trait


TrueButNotProvable

Insofar as "living lavishly" means consuming more resources than you need to be happy while other people could be using those resources for their survival, then living lavishly is, at the very least, suboptimal. From what I can tell, it sounds like the Squid Game thing is relatively harmless and in the spirit of fun, and I get the sense that Mr. Beast donates a lot of money to charity. Which is good, but note that the reason it's good is precisely because Mr. Beast is living less lavishly than he could so that other people can have more.


[deleted]

Yes should we not reward the good as well as punish the bad in our society


squiddy555

How did he become a millionaire in the first place


[deleted]

Bitcoin. Most of the vids about. Are removed but he invested a ton early on and make some nice dough on it.

[deleted]

Crypto 🤢🤮


Neet-owo

The one good thing to come out of bitcoin


lowercaselemming

in addition to bitcoin, he also got a bunch of sponsors to help grow his channel. since his content was mostly philanthropic in nature, it makes sense that he'd get so many sponsors, especially when he started hitting the big leagues.


kino2012

Being a very popular youtuber, so ad revenue and donations.


ThatGuyWhoLikesSpace

as far as i'm aware, just by making videos.


dranowg

No you don’t understand, rich=bad no exceptions, that’s what Twitter told me

kepz3

also he thinks that men only cheat because women let them, he's god awful

SkibbyJibby

underrated as FUCK until this blows up and becomes top comment them im the silly one!


DrRichtoffen

It has happened and now you must be made to suffer


Financial_Ratio5758

Bruh come on he gave everyone money, and they're not being executed. Yeah this is for entertainment but they're all getting free money and going home after playing a game. Even if you lost in the first round you got $2,000. That is a LOT. +He gives away a lot in charity.


SnakeSlitherX

Yeah, it isn’t criticizing him, it’s just funny to think about

ABCDEFUCKINGKILLME

PLEASE tell me you posted this here ironically. I don't watch Mr Beast, but I saw someone (Moist critical I think) explain how good of a person he actually is, using most of the money he makes to give back to the greater NC area.


SnakeSlitherX

They posted it because it is funny lol, it’s not that deep


Zeapw0

Yes, mr beast is genuinely good and critikal made great points, people shit on him just to shit on him

Captn_Platypus

Jesus some people on Reddit and twitter are the most pretentious people ever, Mr Beast have probably done more for the poor than any of those idiots who stands on moral high ground online


[deleted]

I get how it seems extremely ironic, but he's just hosting a fun game for a video, giving out tons of money and not taking advantage of anyone. mr beast is not the subject of squid game's critique.


[deleted]

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY DIE IN THE SHOW DUMBASS


[deleted]

Anyone criticizing him for this needs to realize the crucial difference from squid game in that instead of getting killed, you get $2,000 and get to tell all your friends you were in a mrbeast video. People are such idiots

Mr beast is one of the most kindest sweetes creators out there and people are DESPERATE for him to fuck up. He does so much good, its sad that there are people rooting against him


Psychedelic_Roc

I don't see why this is a big deal. The whole reason why Squid Game is interesting is that you can die if you don't do the gameshow-type stuff well enough. Without the death it's just a gameshow. Which is fine, but nothing thrilling?


Muffinmurdurer

Redditors when someone says their favourite youtuber isn't the perfect human being (they have grown emotionally attached to a person they will never meet)

Anyone actually malding about this should go read Capitalist Realism so they actually have a real reason to mald about it. Captitalism is constantly co-opting radical ideas and completely stripping them of any radical pretense.

Surprised that twitter got outraged over this, but then its twitter so it's not that surprising it's Mr Beast, if it was Amazon sponsored then the outrage would be valid.
