    My 10-year-old daughter recently mentioned Mr. Beast and I said what do you know about him? She said I don’t know but my friends showed me his videos and I think the guy’s a creep. I pretty much gave her a high five and said she can have all the ice cream she wants LOL.

      If only I can send her some more money for even more ice cream, but then I would be the creep lol. Could you give her a high five for me and tell her she’s the best 10yo kid in the world and she’s awesome, please

      Your comment reads kinda like:

      That friends name? Einstein, everyone clapped, and gave you a hundred dollars.

        You’re getting downvoted because people don’t like to have their poor critical thinking skills called out. They’d rather ignorantly eat up whatever BS is served to them.

          Nope. Everyone’s entitled to theirs opinions, but I downvoted them for being wrong (and because I thought their comment was kind of dumb).

          It’s no pinnacle of storytelling, but it reads exactly like a parent telling a casual mini-story about their kid to strangers on the internet. It’s a recounting of someone else’s words, but being a creep is a totally reasonable conclusion for a ten year old to reach and it’s also not all that uncommon for parents to praise and reward children for being able to think for themselves or at the very least form a “good” opinion. Ergo, OP’s comment does not read like they’re trying to pass off a tall tale or spin out bullshit.

          Now if the kid had allegedly said something like “the guy’s emblematic of everything wrong with celebrity culture and philanthropy as entertainment is a scourge on society”, we’d be having different conversation.
