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"
1. 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.
2. These guys also left signs around our side of the map with swastikas and sexist messages.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
@astersmoon I thinks its gonna be as long as they're getting money from it. Once people stop pulling or they're seeing a reduced number of pulls, thats when they'll probably announce the end of thr banner
THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE CASE OF MARIS RACAL AND ANTHONY JENNINGS
Even before screenshots of text or chat messages between Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings were leaked today, many people - especially those who were cheated on - have always asked me before about the legality of posting and sharing screenshots of private conversations.
I have always told them that there is such a thing called as the right to privacy. Even cheaters have human rights.
The National Privacy Commission (NPC) clarified in a 2020 advisory opinion that the Data Privacy Act applies to screenshots if they reveal the identities of those involved: “It is worthy to note that the processing, i.e. sending out the screenshot to another person, will only come under the scope of the DPA if personal data is indeed involved—if the conversation/screenshot itself allows for the identification of the parties. If it is simply the content of the conversation, with names and other identities redacted or cropped out of the screenshot, it might not be within the scope of the DPA.”
So even if you were the victim of cheating, by posting screenshots of any alleged affair, not only are you exposing yourself to cyberlibel charges but also to charges for violating data privacy - which is punishable by stiffer and harsher penalties than cyberlibel.
And while the Supreme Court just recently said that there is no violation of the right to privacy if screenshots are used in a criminal case, that is the caveat - the screenshots must be used in a criminal case.
So what’s a girl to do?
Well, you should still take screenshots as evidence of cheating or an affair (especially if you’re married).
Then, what you should do is instead of posting on social media is to file a VAW (violence against women) case - psychological violence caused by infidelity.
And if you’re a public figure or celebrity, let the media report or cover it - then you’ll get the publicity you wanted anyway without the legal liabilities for cyberlibel and data privacy.
When you present the screenshots as evidence in court, that’s when the Supreme Court ruling will apply - that taking screenshots of private conversion is not a violation of the right to privacy when used as evidence in a criminal case.
What’s unfortunate and what I find personally wrong in leaking the screenshots of Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings through social media is the slutshaming of Maris Racal because of her supposed “thirst trap/hungry” messages.
Look what statements have gone viral. 3-4 messages from Maris Racal and only 1, barely viral, from Anthony Jennings (about him disgustingly using method acting as justification).
Cheating is bad. But so is misogyny, enabled by violating the right to privacy.
Victims have human rights. But vindicating your rights should not make more victims.
Even cheaters have human rights.

In light of what happened at the Blerp party at twitchcon; I implore people to watch this.
Slipping something into drinks is so incredibly easy even if you’re prepared.
Do not blame yourselves.
