I was in this event. Please keep in mind that we only had like 3-6 hours of server time each day.
“The girls’ side fell apart for SOME REASON”
- We unironically had Russian guys use AI images/deepfakes to cheat their way onto the girls’ side and then just start mass murdering every girl they could see. This went on for irl DAYS out of a week long competition.
- These guys also left signs around our side of the map with swastikas and sexist messages.
- ONE GIRL on our side (Makio) independently looked into the socials of all these “girls” who were murdering other girls and found their youtube channels and reported it to staff. I think it’s important to note that there wasn’t even a way for us to report things in the discord server until she and other girls like mass-pinged staff for this functionality in the discord server.
- I’m not sure if it was ever confirmed, but there were also reports of girls selling their accounts to guys as well so the guys could sabotage the girls.
- The girls’ side had trans girls on it. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS except after it became common knowledge that there were russian guys pretending to be girls and rumors of girls selling their accounts to guys, a lot of girls began reporting/targeting our trans girlies as infiltrators just because of the pitches of their voices and it started this huge fight on the girls’ side about transphobia and such.
- SO MANY GIRLS died to traps set by the fake-girls. It took the staff days to look into it, determine if those traps were set by fake-girls or real girls, and return these girls from their wrongful deaths. But by then, the event was almost over. These girls who were returned had next to no time to prepare for war, much less time to make connections/alliances with their fellow girls.
- This was marketed initially as a CIV event, not a PVP event. There was such a low amount of girls apply initially that they started to just send the discord server invite to any girl who showed an interest in playing on a Mr. Beast minecraft server. The amount of girls who were invited who didn’t even know how to make a crafting table was insane. No hate to them, of course! But Mr. Beast and his team knew that if that wall came down, boys would win because they had top Minecraft players on their side and the girls had people who didn’t even know how to make a crafting table on theirs, much less how to make a sword.
I didn’t know if I wanted to say something or not because I didn’t want to diminish my chances of being invited to another Mr Beast event. But nobody else is speaking up and I’m just seeing too much hate on the girls not to say something.
I wish they would’ve said something about all of this in the actual video instead of leaving a vague thing in their description about cheaters being banned.
Screenshots posted by girls in the UGF server from the event.
The signs were originally in Russian and were translated.
(i blocked out the guys’ names because they don’t deserve the clout)
Chud Mr Beast fans defending their cult leader
What this community focused on was the undue focus on the alleged ethnicity of the trolls. Some of them MIGHT have been Russian (or Americans pretending to be Russian), yet the tweets are almost written as though all of them are Russian and as though this is an extremely important and relevant detail. You’d be forgiven for thinking after reading these tweets that the reason this was bad was because Russians were involved.
I counted two mentions to Russian guys lol, seems relevant if big part of this harassment was done in Russian and shit
Two mentions where it’s totally irrelevant, and one where it’s actually relevant (at the end, to the language of the signs). Reminding you that there’s zero evidence presented that they’re actually Russian rather than American chuds using Google Translate because they know it will bother liberals more if the harassment is in Russian. As someone else in this thread pointed out, actual Russians would probably be more likely to translate their writing into English for an obviously English-speaking audience at this event.
It’s very, very clear that the person who wrote this feels that the alleged ethnicity of the perpetrators is an important part of what makes this so bad. I hope I don’t need to explain why that’s a very problematic way to think.
This community and Russia, haha. What a combo. Of course it can’t be actual Russian chuds, it must be a conspiracy lol
It’s like everything I said just slid right off the surface of your brain because the “bad” ethnicity was mentioned. Genuinely baffling.
Edit: your original comment before editing was just “This community and Russia, haha. What a combo.” without the added “Of course it can’t be actual Russian chuds, it must be a conspiracy lol”. To address the added point, it doesn’t matter if they were Russian or not, what matters is the emphasis on them being Russian even when it doesn’t make a different. It’s clearly xenophobia.
ಠ_ಠ
Professional point-misser right here. Since you edited your comment and I edited mine to reply to that edit, I’m sure you didn’t see the latter part of my comment. I’ll copy it here.
I say “bad” ethnicity (note the quotation marks to emphasize that it’s not actually bad) because it’s very clear that that’s the underlying sentiment here (in the tweets, and probably in your insistence that there’s nothing odd about the focus on the ethnicity of the trolls): they must be bad at least partly because they’re Russian.
It’s probably brought up because the harassment was in Russian lol
I’ve already addressed this point in this conversation in several ways (that doesn’t prove the people who did it are Russian and it doesn’t make their ethnicity relevant beyond when the language is addressed, which is once at the end).
I’m not going to keep replying to your short comments trying to justify a clear underlying bigotry in the OOP tweets if you’re just going to be bringing up points I’ve already responded to as though they’re unaddressed.
I don’t think that this individual is personally any more bigoted than average, either, I think she was raised in a society that paints Russians as inherently evil and simply absorbed that idea. Based on this thread, I assume the same is the case for you.
