I don’t mind that RE questions the motive. I mind that RE only questions the motive because they want to have reasons to hate the guy than having critical thinking or genuinely giving a fuck about the cause. They are idiots that think that they are smarter than everyone else. That they are different from the rest of the internet but follow Twitter opinions without question (even if they claim to hate the site). They demanded forced kindness and shallow altruism, and get mad when they get it. Hate celebrities and corporations but love Marvel films and their actors.

The other thing about that Mr Beast thread is the people in there, including the ones singing his praise, somehow think this 1000 blind people thing is the extent of his philanthropy or there isn't much more to it than that.  In the last year, he:

.Saved an orphanage
.Rebuilt homes for tornado survivors
.Built houses for homeless families
.Gave $3 million in aid to Ukraine refugees
.Gave away 1 million meals to poor and homeless people

And that's just looking at stuff from his philanthropy channel that makes him a whopping 0 dollars and not his main channel which arguably have even higher scale philanthropic efforts.  It doesn't count his absurdly impressive environmentalist activities that have no doubt helped the world.

"But what about his motives?" My unironic response to that is who fucking cares. Mr Beast not existing wouldn't suddenly feed those millions of people, planted those 20 million trees, gotten those Ukrainians aid, and on the lower scale side, given those 1000 people sight.  None of those things would have happened while the brutal machine that is capitalism kept chugging along, chewing up and spitting people out with no sign of the thing breaking down.

In fact, even more people would fall victim to it, and something tells me that's what Era and these other terminally online leftists want.  They'd rather a million people die just so they can say "see, told you your economic system bad while mine good!" instead of having someone working within that system saving 500 thousand of those people, a system that by the way isn't changing in our lifetime if ever.  That's what happens when you have such a strict adherence to your black and white ideology; anything that defies your worldview has you attacking unequivocally good things.

If the guy starts using his wealth to harm people, then by all means shit on him. But until then, if the worst thing you can say about him is "he's doing this to feed his ego and whines about it on Twitter when it isn't fed", you're missing the forest for the trees.

also, is there literally no concept that becoming one of the top subscribed/known youtube channels of all time on the premise of doing extravagantly good things could propagate out to the wider culture and encourage copycats


remember when fucking prank channels were all over the place? being intentionally awful to others, spread memetically like a virus? remember when people took the cinnamon/tide pod/whatever challenge and nearly killed themselves or their friends?

imagine mrbeast says, "take the Give Someone $100 Who Really Needs It challenge"

era: "why should it be my responsibility to give out my hard-earned money that is eked out to me by my shitty boss? it's a drop in the bucket for the rich, they should be the ones handing out money not me"

"...wait"

Look, these people are idiots they just repeat what other people say so they don't realize what they're saying but the left they repeat their ideas of have long been against any form of charity and even state-provided welfare because this dampens the revolutionary spirit and prolongs capitalism. Anything Mr. Beast gives to anyone helps minimize the inherent evil of free trade and owning one's labor, rather than do any of this he should be trying to raise revolutionary consciousness and enhancing the contradictions of the system. This is why Hasan is good and Mr. Beast is a monster. Hasan's actions are helping to bring about the necessary revolution, the only possible solution, all Mr. Beast is doing is delaying the utopia we could have right now by continuing to allow the capitalists to create scarcity.

Even if Hassan is also dirty rich and probably has done less social work than Mr Beast?

They can't even articulate what they're mad about. That's the #1 sign of cognitive dissonance. But it's clear what they're mad about: Mr. Beast funding services that help people and then profiting from it is pure capitalism. The very basis of capitalism is profit motivates contribution to society. Mr. Beast is an example of that principle working as intended, and they hate that. His capitalist actions and investments create lots of good and no identifiable bad, and that induces massive cognitive dissonance in these ideologues.

They demanded forced kindness and shallow altruism, and get mad when they get it. Hate celebrities and corporations but love Marvel films and their actors.

If people want to have a legit discussion about the guy's character, questioning the motives is fine.  I imagine even hardcore fans of the dude would say he's not doing this 100% out of the kindness of his heart.  Hell, it's even fun to depict the guy as an algorithm engagement-seeking sociopath.

As you said, they just so desperately want a reason to hate the guy to validate their "rich people bad" view.  What they don't want to acknowledge even though they know it's true is the guy is rich BECAUSE he helps people.  This isn't a billionaire donating 0.001% of their net worth to distract from a controversy.  This is someone who cannot have money without people being helped, and in turn those people cannot be helped without him having money.  Jimmy could be going "fuck them poors" behind closed doors and it wouldn't change the fact his entire brand cannot exist without less fortunate people being helped and thus he cannot give it up.  Is it icky that regular-ass people have to be turned into entertainment for that help to exist?  Sure, but that's reality in this weird world of content creation, right down to obnoxious thumbnails.  And the people that will respond to that with their dumb "better things aren't possible" mocking speech don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Edit: And that Wu tweet is rich.  Maybe something will come out about the guy, I don't know him.  But if you're so cynical that your default stance is everyone's motives for helping people MUST be impure and imply a ton of closet skeletons, it just makes me think you're a miserable person that few would want to be around.

But hey, we're talking about the moonrocks lady that bragged about not watching the Depp trial while knowing how wrong the verdict was.

It's very hard not to view many of these types as engaging in almost constant projection about their "enemies" making it very clear how they would personally act in the same situation. Wu saying someone else sets off their "every con man alarm" is hilarious projection.

Almost all of Nepenthe's beliefs about whites is just her projecting how she personally thinks of people of other races than her own.

Quote from: Kaji AF16, post: 100552033, member: 31483
I enjoyed Halo 4 a lot, after falling in love with the franchise thanks to Halo Reach.
Halo 5 was a mess.
Infinite was extremely ambitious but it had... a bumpy road, to say the least. Not even a supposedly monstrous budget avoided the tranwreck. From meme factory to unexpected redemption to brand destruction, all in just over a year.

343 never felt "organic". Many employees have more or less explicitly indicated that there were  an extreme reliance on contractors and vast, long-term incompetence in the upper management. Ross and Wolfkill leaving their roles probably signals the advent of a new beginning for the studio.

Also: I remember Frank O´Connor being the franchise director of such a flagship while still having time to post dozens of trivial messages on NeoGAF per day during some of Halo´s darkest days. That always caught my attention: the Xbox crown jewel was on fire and one of the guys in charge was spending literal hours talking about the audio system in his high-end car o some other non-related stuff. In retrospective, it felt that something was not right.

:dead

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Plus he was a virulent racist :shh
[close]
I still believe the Xbox anniversary stream killed Bonnie Ross' career.
You had Peter Moore and Ed Fries talking about exciting new technologies and all these stories about Xbox and they hadn't worked on anything Xbox for years.

All Bonnie could say was that she liked working on Fuzion Frenzy, that she now had a nice office and that HALO was a big IP. It was clear that she had no fucking clue what was going on at 343i.

Peter Moore tried his best to help her too.

P: "Oh wow, HALO 3 now that was a launch, we spend our nights play testing it to perfection. That must've been the same for HALO 4 and 5 right Bonnie?"

B: "The team is always working hard on new HALO experiences"

P: "Ok... yeah awesome, so no looking back but always looking at the future right? All these new things like games as a service, VR, AR, Web3. It must be great to work on the future for HALO"

B: "With HALO we are always innovating"

P: "So like any new things you can share..."

B: "Well I'm really excited just how big HALO is now. When I go out and I meet people and I actually learn they work at our studio even though I've never met them before"

at that point there was an awkward silence.

"Something's not right with Mr. Beast."

I've seen so many variations of that phrase in that ERA thread and Twitter than I care to want to see. These people can't even articulate what exactly, is "wrong" with Mr. Beast. It seems that they think these charitable acts by Mr. Beast is somehow delaying/preventing the glorious anti-capitalist revolution that will definitely happen any minute now if it weren't for rich, charitable people like Mr. Beast that "trick" people into not overthrowing the current system.

Quote from: Orayn
"You claim to dislike captialism, yet you don't disavow all media ever made under it, curious" is a complete joke of an argument. We're not even talking about whether or not it's moral to buy something that might support a bad person/company, just deciding you like a character and putting a pic of them on your profile. You truly have nothing to say.

At least he isn’t a depressed cynical wreck that even gets called out by RE, like you Orayn.

Her only argument about using that avatar is “IS MY POWER FANTASY. FUCK YOU.”

Some years ago with the Hong Kong controversy, people distance themselves from Blizzard and Overwatch. It lasted all of two minutes. Nobody budged when the sexual harassment stories came around. Or even worse, when they have Mei braided hair on an alt costume. Consumerism trumps all.

I believe it.  She thinks the recompense you earn should be equal to how "hard" you work (however that's quantified).  She seems like the type to organize her life around getting 3 menial jobs and sleeping 3 and a half hours a night instead of working on achieving a well-paying skillset that the whites are preventing her from having.   



...or she's counting her being a janny as a job.  In which case, Cerium, who got paid handsomely for his extremely hard work on never looking at his forum, will come back any minute now to oblige her hard work with some of the money he ran off with.  Thank God Cerium was an asian guy instead of a white dude, because it would've done irreversible psychic damage to her, but instead she handled it pretty well.

She should mention some of these mutual aid groups she contributes to so that other members can show Mr. Beast how it should be done.

Especially since her only past history was demanding people pay her and then when criticized claiming she was sending it off to Brazil in some unspecified way.

I enjoyed Halo 4 a lot, after falling in love with the franchise thanks to Halo Reach.
Halo 5 was a mess.
Infinite was extremely ambitious but it had... a bumpy road, to say the least. Not even a supposedly monstrous budget avoided the tranwreck. From meme factory to unexpected redemption to brand destruction, all in just over a year.

343 never felt "organic". Many employees have more or less explicitly indicated that there were  an extreme reliance on contractors and vast, long-term incompetence in the upper management. Ross and Wolfkill leaving their roles probably signals the advent of a new beginning for the studio.

Also: I remember Frank O´Connor being the franchise director of such a flagship while still having time to post dozens of trivial messages on NeoGAF per day during some of Halo´s darkest days. That always caught my attention: the Xbox crown jewel was on fire and one of the guys in charge was spending literal hours talking about the audio system in his high-end car o some other non-related stuff. In retrospective, it felt that something was not right.

I always knew something was off about that guy.

Feel like ResetERA.com stealing my jokes about Frank's fake job at 343i is cultural appropriation.

No discussing the TERF Game for you all, but BChudds' corporate overlords certainly don't mind profiting from the TERF Game

Yeah you're probably right. The way it cuts off the Resetera logo doesn't make too much sense, even with the intrusive ads RE is running

lol, I torrented (!!!) the last season and saved it on a usb stick when the news broke that they were removing it (I didnt have time to watch it): at the time I was paying two HBO Max subs since my niece wanted her own to share with her siblings so you see the irony. Still paying for one ad free HBO Max and if this continues will probably kill that too.

Looking forward to the ‘streaming’ future after the recent market massacre /s

MLex has a brief report about the meeting:

- Different executives from Sony met Verstager.

- Sony's delegation was led by Jim Ryan.

- Sony pressed again their case for a block.

- Same old arguments: 1) MS could withhold Call of Duty from other consoles or platforms; 2) MS might degrade how Call of Duty works with other gaming platforms.

- Statement of Objections coming this week (it has to be tomorrow).
What a little bitch (Jim Ryan).

Yes. Not a controversial statement at all.

What do y'all expect? Him to bad mouth every actor that tweets something dumb especially when the company he is now a part of has a financial interest in ensuring their upcoming film doesn't bomb?

Ezra Miller ain't working as The Flash again. He's done. And if Levi keeps this up, Shazaam 2 will be his last time playing Shazaam. It's not that complicated.

He was paying for two accounts and is still paying for one though?
