Speaker A

From people being angry at Chris for dressing up as a helicopter to the vegan teacher claiming that MrBeast was promoting violence by not having pineapple on his largest slice of pizza, these are the absolute dumbest attempts to cancel MrBeast, and it all begins

Speaker A

with an image of a helicopter from back in 2014. Remember when people were going around making the joke that they identify as an Apache attack helicopter? It was a meme that began back in 2014 when a user on

Speaker A

Reddit posted a deliberately ridiculous paragraph reading, "I sexually identify as an attack helicopter. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is impossible, but I don't care. I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 millimeter

Speaker A

cannons, and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. If you can't accept me, you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." Well, MrBeast and Chris incorporated this copy-paste word for

Speaker A

word in a 2016 video. "People say to me that a person being a helicopter is impossible. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades. It's time to live my dream. Hey girl, you want some attack helicopter? I was actually born a tank, but sadly it

Speaker A

wasn't one of our 52 genders." And if we take the joke and rank it on a scale from one to ten, with one being least offensive and ten being most offensive, it probably wouldn't even hit one on the

Speaker A

scale because the only thing at the brunt of the joke is a flying metal vehicle. Yet, because they were making a joke about identifying as something other than their normal selves, some of Twitter's finest would call the video

Speaker A

out over four years after it was originally posted. MrBeast exposed for what some fans have called a transphobic video. In a now deleted 2016 video, MrBeast says, "I was born a tank, but sadly it wasn't one of our 52 genders." The claim

Speaker A

that this was distasteful was clearly ridiculous, and the comments supported such. "Where's the transphobia in their imaginations? I didn't know about the discrimination attack helicopters faced till now. Chill. The video was obviously a meme. Don't try to cancel one of the best

Speaker A

people on the planet because they made a video about being an attack helicopter, literally. So many people would be cancelled for nothing." What was even funnier was that the people who were supposed to be offended by the video

Speaker A

weren't even offended by it. "As a trans person, I found this so funny at the time and I still do. It's honestly so sad people get mad over stuff like this. It's obviously a joke. LMAO. My transgender sibling was laughing so hard at this."

Speaker A

After reading the comments, I was glad to discover that I'm not the only trans person who thought his joke was funny. Yet, these comments didn't stop the original person who was trying to cancel MrBeast, who would continue with this

Speaker A

excellent piece of investigative journalism by DMing MrBeast and Chris before stating, "Hi MrBeast, hope you're doing well. I was recently sent a video where you and your friend Chris Tyson make some seemingly transphobic remarks. Chris says he identifies as a helicopter.

Speaker A

You make some remarks about gender. It's a video from 2016. Can you comment?" The whole thing was best summarized by the commentary channel Memify: "Genuine question, how are you this sensitive to humor? Even just a joke about attack

Speaker A

helicopters offends them this badly?" And while this cancellation attempt was extremely petty, it was nothing compared to another, which would happen at a later date. This new one being so dumb that even PewDiePie jumped in to defend MrBeast.

Speaker A

It began in November 2021 after the incredibly popular Squid Game video was posted. MrBeast revealed that the entire production had cost upwards of three and a half million dollars, which included a prize of 456,000 for

Speaker A

the winner of the video. Now, this meant that the format wasn't much different from any of his other challenge-style videos. He puts up a bunch of money in the beginning, various people compete for it, and whoever wins is rewarded with a

Speaker A

pretty hefty payday. However, for some reason, in the case of Squid Game, the success of the video seemed to trigger the response that the money should have instead been donated to charity. "I'm sure that money couldn't possibly have

Speaker A

benefited anyone else. Imagine using this money to actually help those who need it, not for fun. You could have just donated the 1.5 million." Now, this argument makes a lot of sense as an extremely basic surface-level idea.

Speaker A

However, when you factor in a little thing known as reality, it crumbles pretty damn quickly. Firstly, it's infuriating because it can be applied to any amount of money. "Oh, you got ice cream on the weekend and got two scoops. Why

Speaker A

didn't you get one scoop and donate the rest to charity? Oh, you bought a new car. Why didn't you buy a secondhand car and donate the rest to charity?" The fact that it's valid in all situations with any

Speaker A

amount of money makes it a never-ending loop of "Why didn't you just spend less and donate the rest to charity?" And to say that it's different in MrBeast's case just because it's a larger sum of money shows immaturity and that the people

Speaker A

making these claims haven't thought through the problem in its entirety. The claim also displays an embarrassing level of ignorance about MrBeast's long-term vision, as it fails to take into account that the money invested in the Squid Game video will go on to earn

Speaker A

more money, which over the long run will more than likely end up in the hands of the quote-unquote less fortunate. In the month that the Squid Game video was posted, MrBeast gained close to 10 million subscribers, and with MrBeast's

Speaker A

main message being one of helping others, how can we be so sure that those inspired by his message wouldn't donate more than three and a half million to charity themselves over the long run? So sure, he could take the whole 3.5 million

Speaker A

and dump it into a charity, but at the end of the day, it's simply a poor short-term strategy. The other problem with these people putting pressure on MrBeast to give money to charity is that they probably don't even donate money

Speaker A

themselves. Getting to the point where you're comfortable giving money away requires an unbelievable amount of personal development. That's why it's a respectable thing to do, and the people who have reached this point of being charitable are not the same people who

Speaker A

spend their life on Twitter calling out MrBeast for being a bad person. Thankfully, almost everyone echoed this sentiment. "He gives a lot of money away, and through this method, he can generate future revenue to help more people. I

Speaker A

think he's done a hell of a lot more for the people than you have. Grow up. Look at his channel and tell me he doesn't help people. Grow up. Let this man spend his money however he pleases." The

Speaker A

cancellation attempt was so pathetic that even PewDiePie uploaded a stream highlight in defense of MrBeast. "People were like, 'Oh, you spent all this money like doing this when you could have just like fed the hungry or some like

Speaker A

that.' He spent two million building Squid Game, and people are like, 'Well, he's not doing enough.' This is the problem with Twitter. Like, people shouldn't have opinions." Yet neither PewDiePie nor MrBeast was safe from the next person who

Speaker A

would attempt the most brain-dead cancellation attempt of them all: that vegan teacher. It began on the 2nd of August 2021 when out of the blue that vegan teacher would upload a new video titled, "MrBeast, no amount you give to

Speaker A

charity can undo the damage you are causing by promoting eating meat." Now, we need to preface this section by explaining that being provocative is the vegan teacher's main method of growth. Her formula is simple: she picks a beloved influencer such as Gordon Ramsay,

Speaker A

PewDiePie, or Dhar Mann, then goes out of her way to frame them as anti-vegan in any way possible. This in turn gives the commentary community a reason to talk about her, providing her with growth through controversy in a similar way to

Speaker A

Jelly Bean or Wings of Redemption. And with this in mind, it's hardly surprising that th...

Speaker A

millions of children starving around the globe and that instead of buying an expensive pizza the 70 000 would have been better spent solving world hunger but before we watch him eat a 70 dollar pizza let's look into the eyes of this

Speaker A

child there are millions of children around the world who are starving to death seventy thousand dollars could buy a lot of food only this started the vegan teachers argument on poor footing as it failed to include the fact that

Speaker A

five months prior mr beast had begun based philanthropy with the first four out of five videos on the channel doing exactly what the vegan teacher was complaining about feeding people without access to food do more research he has

Speaker A

donated millions to the hungry and the homeless he's also one of the biggest philanthropists on here vegan teacher those 70 000 could have gone towards feeding starving children also her he bought everything in a store and donated it to charity or whatever but that

Speaker A

doesn't matter he literally has a food bank to give food to families that can't afford it meanwhile the vegan teacher was doing absolutely nothing to help solve world hunger herself when you search up that vegan teacher charity unsurprisingly nothing comes up with her

Speaker A

only attempt at feeding the hungry being her complaining about others not feeding the hungry upon visiting her patreon it states each donation big or small helps to sustain me so i can devote more time and resources to helping save the

Speaker A

animals by educating others about not eating wearing or using them which roughly translates to something like the money will go directly into my bank account and i'll continue to make videos framing decent people as evil anti-vegans which is what she would do

Speaker A

to mr beast as her first video continued to roll the vegan teacher's next criticism was that mr base didn't specify whether or not each item of food was vegan five thousand dollar taco are they vegan tacos made with beans and

Speaker A

vegan cheese this is one dollar pizza is that vegan cheese this is a two dollar hot dog is that a vegan hot dog yeah when you think about it for a couple of minutes this would actually be an

Speaker A

incredibly dumb thing for mr beast to do as it would set an impossibly high standard for future videos for example if mr beast attempted to appeal to the vegans once by stating that he was eating vegan food he'd run the risk of

Speaker A

backlash in future videos as the audience could now use leverage against him by stating oh you were eating vegan food before why didn't you continue doing so ironically making the consumption of meat less controversial additionally while vegans have a

Speaker A

reputation for being quite vocal according to the data only two percent of the us population is vegetarian and out of that only 0.5 percent of the population is vegan and therefore making content to appeal to vegans would be a

Speaker A

poor strategy when mr beast has stated on numerous occasions that his goal is to simply reach the widest audience possible the vegan teacher would then go on to state the mrbase video of him eating different foods worth different

Speaker A

amounts of money was promoting violence and destroying the environment mr beast unfortunately i have given you so many exes here for promoting the violence for not talking about the environment before going on to state that he needed to

Speaker A

become a vegan animal rights activist in order to undo the non-existent damage you need to go back and undo the damage that you've done the first thing that you can do mr beast number one is become vegan number two become an animal rights

Speaker A

activist for the rest of your life tell people that the videos that you've done in the past including this one that you're ashamed of and that you wish you had never done them which was concluded by the vegan teacher demanding mr beast

Speaker A

apologize in her comment section mr beast knows about my my channel here make sure that he subscribes and that he joins me in the comment section to tell me that he's going to change unsurprisingly the vegan teacher never

Speaker A

got the apology however one thing she did receive on the video was an impressive dislike ratio of 96.4 percent alongside comments such as he literally spends most of his money saving the world and helping others the amount of

Speaker A

money he donated to people in need and to plant trees is more than you can make in a hundred years beast is a legend he doesn't deserve this however with the vegan teachers video receiving more views than any of her other uploads only

Speaker A

six days later she'd post another video attempting to cancel mr beast this time titled at mr beast stop paying for animal abuse in which she'd go on to call mr beast out for not specifying whether or not the base of the ice cream

Speaker A

they were eating was vegan but what is the base made out of is the base made out of something vegan i don't know what you're eating it's some sort of cake but you didn't though i'm gonna put another x because you're

Speaker A

not saying specifically that it's vegan two weeks after this statement the vegan teacher would upload a third video in which she'd state that mr beast was again promoting violence this time by not having fruit and vegetables on his

Speaker A

pizza in the i ate the world's largest slice of pizza video where is the pineapple x what on earth what is this pizza there isn't there's not one single vegetable on there where are the mushrooms where's the spinach where's the broccoli what

Speaker A

else have you got in there you have no green peppers no hot peppers that's not that's not food what is that is there even sauce on there is there even tomato sauce x this was best summarized by a comment reading

Speaker A

someone needs to explain to the vegan teacher that putting vegetables on something doesn't make it vegan however this was still nothing compared to that vegan teacher's most outrageous comment of all three videos she'd state that because mr beast had a professional hot

Speaker A

dog eater in his video this was promoting the food poutine poutine has cheese in it cheese comes from milk and milk is taken from cows and therefore mr beast is promoting the act of stealing why are you promoting people that eat

Speaker A

large amounts of food and not only does he hold the world record for hot dogs eating but he has so much did you even say vegan hot dog at all what else do you got here puts in with cheese on it

Speaker A

cheese is comes from milk which is stolen from mothers after their babies were taken from them do you think that kidnapping is okay mr beast kidnapping babies and stealing from them do you think that stealing is okay apparently

Speaker A

you do unsurprisingly all three of the vegan teachers attempts to cancel mr beast failed miserably as did the two we discussed earlier in fact there really hasn't been a single bit of mr beast drama that's had the slightest effect on

Speaker A

his reputation his bulletproof public image and masterful management of controversy turn every cancellation attempt into water off a duck's back
