MrBeast. now his cool, philanthropic facade has crumbled, but before he even created it, he made edgy "jokes" about buying Black people…

[-] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

I mean in a year or so I'm sure the US will allow people "rent" prisoners and some of them will even be locally sourced!

Yeah that's the typical chain gang type labor that we've always allowed. But I'm pretty sure a random citizen can't just rent a single person atm. And it's not going to be retail or office jobs. Who wouldn't want their own prison "secretary".

[-] alienghic@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

I think the southern cops or legislatures might have convicts doing janitorial work in their offices

I wouldn't be surprised to hear some chief of police might use convict labor at their house.

Yeah but I meant your everyday American. You're not walking down the street seeing your local prisoner carrying some yuppie's shopping bags.

They're scraping roadkill off highways and picking cotton. I'm suggesting they'll change not only what forced labor is allowed but also how it looks.

Like many others, I've always felt he was fake and so were his videos. Was not surprised when all the crap about him and his rigged contests came to light.

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Does somebody have a source for / link to the drama? I know the guy and have seen a couple of videos, but the fakeness tuned my off too.

But my YouTube frontage was full of him and still is.

Look up the guy who made "actual cannibal Shia Labeouf"... Interesting transition there too

[-] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

All I’m finding is he used to be in Tally Hall?

Edit: Oooh I misunderstood, thought you meant before he did ACSLB.

[-] WR5@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I loved Tally Hall. I used to listen to Ruler of Everything on repeat.

Nooo, nooo, not gonna. No.

[-] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago

TLDR: I'm pretty sure he went on to write music for kids TV shows because that's what he wanted to do. Pretty wholesome.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 week ago

Brutalmoose, but ten years ago. He went from shitting on mediocre games and swearing a lot to super chill stuff and food reviews. I actually love all of his new stuff.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

I live for his current content! Edgy jokes & constant swearing to thrift store journeys & food discoveries. Absolutely love it!

He was actually how I discovered the Cosmic Crisp & sparked my love for it. (:

[-] ogeist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

His editor skills are top notch

No shit? I had no clue. I'll have to check out that toxicity. I've always enjoyed his chill vibe and excellent editing since his food reviews and other projects.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The montageparodies of food reviews.

I miss pink guys music and I hope Joji just randomly drops the most random shitposting album or just puts on the pink suit and does that again one last time. He's probably never going to, but I know lots of us that grew up with him would enjoy it one last time.

I was gonna say Joji, but yes, call him by his real name.

it's kinda funny thinking about how gamegrumps once upon a time had JonTron instead of Dan Avidan

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 14 points 1 week ago

The first one to come to mind is Blippi.

[-] Codename_goose@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Oh I have to know more about this. Care to point me in the right direction?

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago

Before becoming the Blippi character he made low-brow gross-out videos under the pseudonym Steezy Grossman.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Look, we've all done things we've come to regret. Who here hasn't publicly broadcast videos of themselves defecating on a so-called "friend" for no compensation whatsoever save imaginary fame?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

publicly ... for no compensation

That's what makes it weird. Who just GIVES that kind of gold away?

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I've never actually seen the video before until now. You can tell what it is by the url. NSFW

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

That’s absolutely incredible.

The artist’s rendition in the Buzzfeed article is also choice.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

SSSniperWolf. Holy shit, she was brutal on Omegle telling kids to off themselves & shit. But then she started stealing content, so...

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 11 points 1 week ago

Don't forget doxxing.

She also has a criminal record for armed robbery. So there's that too. She's always liked a bit of thievery.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The situation with Jacks Films was so fucked up. She literally showed up at his house to try to talk to him about his call out videos.

YouTube seemed more likely to punish Jacks Films. They basically “both sided” the incident. Absolutely insane. She’s just making YouTube too much money for any of the rules to matter.

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 week ago

Tell me about it. Dude was in fear for his safety and YouTube are like, jacksfilms was bad too! Eff you, Google. He did nothing wrong.

His jjjacksfilms channel doesn't show up in the search bar, which is really weird given it's a big channel. It's like YouTube doesn't want you to find him criticising their little cash cows. Stalkerwolf is invincible.

YouTube is properly messed up. It's basically a monopoly though. People won't post elsewhere if they can't monetise though 😞 a fedi YouTube alternative will never catch on. At this point I'd even welcome Microsoft or scamazon creating a rival service.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

I’m so pissed that the quest girl in the new Monster Hunter looks like her.

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

There is at least a claim that she told a 16yo to flash herself on Omegle in a video.

Apparently she deleted the video in question.

Michael here.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Pewdiepie went one bridge too far

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's not exactly the same, and it's been a long time now, but watching Grace Helbig go from DailyGrace with a vaguely male-catering focus and general no fucks given attitude into becoming Grace Helbig, Internet Big Sister for zoomer girls, was pretty jarring.

Riolu

But I only know that because of Wirtual's latest documentary

[-] Kwdg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

But isn't that the opposite? Though I watched Lars' reaction and he actually said that Riolu became less edgy when his streaming took off

I actually miss the humor that stemmed from an environment where everything was assumed a joke unless it's missing a punchline. Not the racism/sexism/etc, which was prevalent of the time it became popular, but the style. The edgy style can be done really well (e.g. Bo Burnham, George Carlin, etc...).

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

blippy with his shit harlem shake video

and i mean literal shit from a butt
