“This is getting absurd,” MrBeast responds to SunnyV2’s claims that Chris will be a “nightmare” for him

Mr. Beast is one of the biggest stars on YouTube. He is known for his philanthropic activities, using charity to extend his brand. MrBeast‘s longtime friend and collaborator Chris Tyson recently revealed that they were receiving hormone therapy as they explored their gender identity. Since then, Tyson has received transphobic backlash from some fans and creators. This has prompted Mr. Beast to express his displeasure at the situation.

On Twitter, MrBeast replied to a YouTuber‘s video titled “Why Chris Will Soon Be A Nightmare For MrBeast.” In the video, SunnyV2 speculated that Tyson’s increasingly feminine appearance may negatively impact the popularity of the MrBeast channel. In response to this, MrBeast tweeted, “Chris isn’t my ‘nightmare.’ He’s my f***ing friend, and things are fine. All this transphobia is starting to piss me off.”

MrBeast has publicly supported Tyson’s gender journey in the past. However, this is the first time he has actively denounced the transphobic commentary that has arisen.

MrBeast’s tweet received both praise and transphobia in response. However, some have called upon him to use his platform and wealth to advance the cause of trans rights and provide aid to trans people in need. This is not the first time that MrBeast’s charitable activities have been a topic of discussion. His videos often involve cash giveaways, and he has been known to use his money to help people in need.

Tyson’s gender journey has been a subject of conspiracist analysis on TikTok and Twitter. Some fans have openly resented Chris’s new gender presentation and believe it will ruin Donaldson’s brand. SunnyV2‘s video repeats some of the unfounded claims from fans, and he also spotlighted and read a number of transphobic tweets directed at Chris. Critics of the segment took SunnyV2 to task for comparing Tyson’s new look to “over-the-top LGBT characters” in movies, and for previously misgendering a nonbinary TikTok creator.

The situation surrounding Chris Tyson‘s gender journey highlights the ongoing discrimination that trans individuals face. Many still discriminate, perpetrate violence, and marginalize despite the progress made towards acceptance and inclusion. It is important for individuals with large platforms and audiences to use their influence to stand up against transphobia and support the trans community.
