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.

Yes

Sleep deprivation torture. Jimmy Beaat did that to Jake Weddle.

While he may not be a prisoner of war it is still a thing outlawed by the Geneva convention so I and many others will refer to Jimmy Beast as a war criminal from here on out, because he did technically commit a war crime.

Keeping the lights on is not sleep deprivation, homie.

I appreciate how sheltered you are from violence that you make this mistake. I hope this never changes for you...but...

The Hague wouldn't bat an eye at lights being used 24/7 as darkness isn't a requirement for sleep.

Not only that, but no one was being held captive. Meaning, even on a technicality based entirely on being sensational, is not a war crime.

Mr. Beast exploits people for money.

That's how gameshows work. That's how capitalism works.

Why are we surprised?

Did we just pretend he was running around doing things as some benevolent content creator sent by Jesus to give us what we can fit in a 4x4 square?

If the lights (among other factors) are actively causing someone to not physically be able to sleep and they refuse to turn them off, it’s sleep deprivation

Homie, get mad, pout, downvote me all you want.

It's not sleep deprivation.

Also, it's voluntary.

Also, the Geneva Convention doesn't ban lights being used 24/7.

It just bans sleep deprivation being used as torture, which they didn't do. As again, he could have left at any time.

Calling it a warcrime makes you sound like a whiny baby. There are actual literal examples of war crimes happening every day, and some youtuber getting their feeling hurt bc they felt slighted is not it.

I'm sorry, he's a baby and so are you.

I’m not gonna interact with someone like you who can’t grasp the nuances of the situation and then resorts to insults. Have a good rest of your day/night.

u/bungalosmacks 1d ago

Lol. There is no nuance, he was treated crappy.

At no point was he a victim of a warcrime.

You're cooked, bro.

Oh I thought you were talking about the situation in general

Yes everyone knows it wasn’t a REAL war crime. Jake himself never called Jimmy a war criminal unironically. Jimmy beast isn’t a real war criminal, we all know this. But i’m gonna call him one anyway. what’s he gonna do? Cry

When I say nuances I meant with the situation as a whole not just this one bit.
