MrBeast’s fans slam latest Minecraft video amid infiltration rumors
MrBeast’s latest YouTube video, “1000 Players Simulate Civilization: Boys vs Girls,” has sparked intense backlash and controversy from players. The 1000-player Minecraft competition pits 500 boys against 500 girls in a survival-of-the-fittest battle.
The video’s description explains that they accept the first 500 boys and 500 girls who join the Minecraft server in a chronological order. With 1,000 players, keeping everything in check is a massive task. However, a team of staff monitors the game, always on the lookout for anyone who breaks rules or lies about their identity. If found guilty, the participant is banned, and the next person in line gets their spot. Things, however, got suspicious when girls started getting taken out early.
The controversy surrounds accusations that boys infiltrated the girls’ team using fake profiles, AI-generated images, and deepfakes to gain a biased upper hand in MrBeast’s game. Participants are claiming that “Russian guys” posing as girls killed off girls en masse, rigging the competition in favor of the boys’ team. The infiltrators apparently also left explicit messages for their female opponents.
VTuber Zavyy, who was part of the game, was the first to call out the issue, sparking online backlash. By the time investigations wrapped up, and players were revived after “wrongful deaths… the event was almost over,” the person claimed.
Streamer Phoefi echoed the Zavvy’s concerns. She further added that the final cut of the video “wasn’t a good depiction of what actually happened.” As per unverified reports, some girls allegedly sold their accounts to guys, supposedly to sabotage the competition
Meanwhile, others jumped in to defend MrBeast’s team, claiming they did their best and were actually helpful in reviving players. Despite the drama, the boys’ team bagged the $50K prize. Meanwhile, the controversy is far from over, racking up millions of social media impressions.
