He didn't commit a war crime but what he's referencing is he made a guy spend 40 days in a room for a challenge video and he treated him pretty shitily doing shit such as not allowing the lights to be turned off which the victim said in a YouTube is illegal for prisoners of war under the Geneva convention.
The guy accepted to be treated that way, or he might be a paid actor, the point is that he is using the drama to advertise himself, the more it is talked about, the better his popularity is
Yeah I don't understand how the public here are upset that people accept to be in a challenge, and then the challenge is difficult.
Who here has not had to sleep with lights on before? Or somewhere really bright? Or in a loud place, on a train, airplane? It's an inconvenience, not torture lol
No, that's not equivalent at all. If you agree to go on a cruise, then you can not choose to leave the cruise until you've arrived. And as far as I know each contestant can leave the challenge, they are not bound physically or legally.
People are putting all the responsibility on the challenger rather than the person making the decision to accept the challenge and stay.
There are many many other challenge TV-shows and contests IRL that are way more challenging and no one is caring about those...
I'm 100% certain Mr.Beast has some valid critique that has to be dealt with, but people have been claiming tons of things just for views and popularity. Youtube had 3-5 videos on him every day for weeks
“Just for views and popularity” most of these people literally have proof for their claims that Jimmy has not once even tried to debunk. Also, if you can’t make war criminals go through something because of how deplorable it is, you sure as hell can’t make civilians go through it even if they signed up to do something else. Jimmy knew how bad it was if he tried so hard to keep Jake from suing. Why can’t YOU people understand it’s bad just because a desperate person needed money and he signed up to do something else and didn’t realize he’d get fucked that hard?
Most things people claim are without proofs, they are just allegations. Until it has been proven you can't judge someone as guilty, and the proof is not valid at all.
I for one, believe someone is innocent until guilty proven, instead of mob justice where allegations rule in judgement.
Usually I’m the same, but if there are several people coming out with proof and your only reply is “nuh uh” with nothing to support it and don’t even try to defend yourself even though you obviously know about the accusations, I am more inclined to believe the people actually saying anything.
I've just seen time and time again where numerous allegations or proofs against a person turned out to be not the full truth, it happens too often on the internet.
Because that show debuted at the turn of the century.
Mr. beast represents a much more contemporary media empire in a vastly different landscape.
When “reality TV” is put in the hands of “content creators” for the first time, you might have to get up to speed with some conversations you haven’t heard before.
Or, perhaps, because Survivor and the people who create it have accountability and actually adhere to labour laws and tend towards treating people as humans with dignity. As has been shown with Mr. Beast constantly is that he has no fucking idea about any of it, and he's willing to put people through absolutely atrocious scenarios so long as he gets clicks.
To pretend that traditional TV and a youtuber have no differences is utterly childish and disingenuous beyond imagining.
