Our first 500 attempts to cancel Mr. Beast have not worked. Don't worry, we got him this time:

It has nothing to do with Mr. Beast (whose audience is overwhelmingly children) hanging out with white nationalist politicians who want to eradicate trans people.

So yeah, Mr. Beast played in a charity poker tournament that Ted Cruz also happened to be in. This makes him transphobic or something. Surely now this will be the end of him. Also ignore the OP video where he's hanging out with his transgender friend.

Well raphabe took the bait amd dared point out the obvious:

I would prefer he did not, but at the same time, how many celebrities have participated in various events (e.g. talk shows) alongside unsavory people? It's certainly not uncommon and it's not automatically a "guilty by association" situation. May I introduce you to The Apprentice, though admittedly Trump wasn't as dangerous back then.

And conversely, surely you can see that constantly moving the goalposts isn't conducive to a good argument. "Mr. Beast is friends with Ted Cruz!" Not necessarily, he simply attended a poker event. "Okay, but he attended that event right after a school shooting!" No, he did not. "Okay, but Ted Cruz was there!" Yeah, sure.

Ashlette quickly on him:

i thought these tightrope walking posts from 2018 era would be gone from here by now. i stopped seriously replying to these kinds of posts a few years ago because they kept popping up and were starting to break me from the inside.

thanks for the deja vu!
