MrBeast isn’t just a Youtuber; he’s one of the most popular on the platform. His channel has 142 million subscribers — many of whom are children — and his co-host Chris has recently made some drastic changes to his appearance.
Lauren Chen believes that because of this, the channel can no longer be considered “family-friendly.”
She says, “It’s not a positive transformation.”
Chen isn’t holding back.
“On the one hand,” she continues, “you have a guy who looks totally normal, and on the other hand you have, I mean, it’s not a woman.”
“It still looks like a man; it just looks like a mentally ill and unhealthy man.”
Chen believes this is worth talking about because “this person is shown to millions of people, including kids, including young people, as someone cool and a role model. Someone who works with MrBeast.”
“The idea that a trans individual who is chemically castrating themselves, is mentally ill and confused, like would be put up on that pedestal — I’m uncomfortable with that as a mother.”
After revealing his new look, Chris tweeted out to his followers that “informed consent HRT saved my and many others’ lives,” ending his pro-transition tweet with “Just let people make informed decisions about their own bodies.”
Chen says, “This is dangerous.”
“This is not someone who I would want in my child’s entertainment.”
The even bigger problem with Chris’ transition, according to Chen, is that it's not just himself he needs to consider in his decisions.
Chris has a wife and a child.
“If someone is married, if someone’s a father, I’m sorry, but it’s not just their choice.”
“It’s not just about you,” she adds. "You’re not the only one you’re making decisions for. And if you ask me, no, this person did not have the right to transition their gender and take away this kid’s father, this wife’s husband.”
She says, “Ultimately, this was a betrayal.”
