My money is on Mr. Beast running a game show out of RFK's wellness camps. "Only one of these foul minorities will be allowed to be allowed to live, and will fight each other to the death to earn their life!"
He will live up to his name.

he fucking what?
Disclaimer: I hate this guy and all the stupid things he did in the past.
I don't understand the issue here. Assuming what he is telling regarding the safety features are true, this is not more dangerous than a stunt scene in a movie. If they had hired someone who is not a professional stunt man, I would classify this as 'dangerous'. But I can't really see the issue of shooting a 'stunt scene' with professionals, just like any action movie will do.
That said, I think this is just manufactured outrage, which will create more views for that video. Probably thile response to the video was underwhelming, and they wanted to drive up the views to ensure revenue.
Yeah the actual production here is us now talking about it. And well, the rest of the internet. The wanker is not stupid, I give him that. He must have known that just filming stunt scenes isn't good for clicks, but this is.
I've not watched the thing itself, but between the article and the screenshot the issue seems to be how it's presented.
It's not that the guy is actually in danger, it's that the content being made and the way it's framed is at best dishonest, and at worst promotes extremely dangerous behaviour to kids (who are very much his main audience).
It's unlikely that something with this kind of messaging would be allowed on regular TV, but because YouTube's approach to safe programming is pretty much arbitrary it's down to old fashioned journalism like this to flag up harmful shit like this.
I once posted a Youtube video from this man in my disability-focused community, in which he helped a lot of people get prostheses, because I thought was he did in his video was kind of cool.
I didn't know him back then. The post and the video got backlash I didn't expect.
Now I know him and I understand why.
I remember, I called him a charlatan. I didn't fault you for not knowing, though.
So what did he do wrong
Exploiting the poor for fame and fortune, and making it out as if he's charitable for doing it.
*It always surprises me the number of people that jump to his defense. Fucking weird.
Trapping people in burning buildings.
He trapped a professional stuntman in a burning building with a pyrotechnics crew, multiple fire suppression methods, and a professionally tested saftey system?
Wait until you hear about what Ridley Scott did to Matt Damon on Mars.
Wait. He really sent him to Mars for that movie?
They're kidding. Men are from Mars, but once they leave, theyre never allowed back.
Stop giving this leech attention. This headline is manufactured for attention.
I’m so ready for the influencer era to be over.
how in the fuck is this not the onion. he's just doing his own satire now
Yeah, what’s the opposite of eating the onion? I read the headline and went ‘haha good one’ until I saw the community!
edged the Onion
just kidding, don't let me name things
🫦 peeling the onion
rawdogging the onion. wait. no fuck you leave me alone. I DO NOT WANT TO FUCK ONIONS
Alright, sure, onionfucker.

Yeah, YouTube recommended that video and I gave a fucking pass. I have no interest in watching a paid professional act like a desperate contestant degrading themselves for this dipshit's billionaire's petty cash.
hes a billionaire! from what what did he do for all this money
The same thing every billionaire did: He took it from other people.
“$1,000,000 if you let me stab you in the stomach five times.”
“Ok, I guess. My daughter has cancer, and this is the only way I can save her.”
* Stabs him four times. *
“Oh god, it hurts. Ok, I’m ready for the last one.”
“Nah, I think we’re good. So I’ll be keeping the $1,000,000.”
I see now the inflection point where reality meets Black Mirror scripts.
Geez, I thought Squid Game was supposed to be a metaphor
Holy shit I thought this was satire until I saw bbc at the bottom what the fuck.
Edit: ah it's not that awful just a wild headline
I guess he realised he fares better as a psychopath rather than a philanthropist?
we are really getting dumber as a species.
We've always been this dumb. Just look at the gladiators.
Must be a slow news day to report on a youtuber commenting on their own production of stunt videos with trained professionals
Nope. This dribble is because they don’t want to talk about what’s really going on.
Portland, Chicago. LA. DC.
A senate that’s protecting a fascist kiddy-diddler, probably because they are too, while at the same time we have the fucking military invading our cities.
This has ‘Late Late Breakfast Show’ vibes. Those around in the 80’s in the UK will probably remember the Noel Edmond’s variety show, a precursor to Noel’s House Party. They had members of the public do stunts. There were regular concerns about safety and eventually someone died.

Sociopaths aren't concerned about the safety of others.
"MrBeast tries to justify attempted murder" FTFY
A stunt man doing stunt man things? Lame
this guy is extremely dangerous and will do anything for viral videos
How is he still active? Who is supporting this shitstain? Christ, the world is doomed.
This timeline is so cooked
What a nice desensitized road we’re going down
