The world’s top YouTuber, MrBeast, who rakes in an estimated $700 million annually via his YouTube channel and other connected endeavors, recently fired his longtime cohost, Ava Kris Tyson, formerly known as Chris Tyson, after allegations of Tyson’s child grooming came to light.

The first sign that perhaps all wasn’t well with the duo appeared last year, when Tyson announced that he was a “gender nonconforming person” and had begun hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

In his announcement, Tyson claimed that his gender-bending pursuit and the taking of HRT saved his life. He further asserted, “The hurdles [gender nonconforming] people have to jump through to get life-saving gender-affirming healthcare in a 1st world country is wild to me. Just let people make informed decisions about their own bodies.”

After questions arose regarding Tyson and his continued presence on the MrBeast channel, Jimmy Donaldson, MrBeast’s real name, responded by forcefully defending his friend. At one point, Donaldson tweeted, “Yeah, this is getting absurd. Chris isn’t my ‘nightmare’ he’s my f***** friend and things are fine. All this transphobia is starting to p*** me off.”

The lion’s share of the criticism raised against Tyson focused on the fact that his decision to engage in his gender-bending pursuit resulted in the breakup of his marriage, leaving his young son in a broken home. Tyson absurdly argued that his son “is the only priority in my life.” He then claimed, “I’m doing this for him. If that confuses you, educate yourself.”

Those sound like the words of a man in deep denial over the damage his selfishness is inflicting on those closest to him.

Fast-forward to the present, and Tyson is facing credible accusations of years ago having sexually groomed a boy who was 13 at the time. As The Daily Wire reports, “The accusations came from a group of YouTubers who accused Tyson, who was 20 at the time of the alleged incident, of messaging a minor and referencing nude photos, sex topics, and anime pornography.”

The victim, now an adult, has come to Tyson’s defense, saying, “Nothing bad happened between me and Kris, people are creating lies around my name.” However, evidence indicates that there are several more victims of Tyson’s pedophilic behavior, which is why Donaldson has now come out publicly announcing his firing: “Over the last few days, I’ve become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson’s behavior online and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.”

Defenders of the cult of transgenderism say that Tyson’s pedophilic behavior has no connection to his gender-benderism, but such deflections ring hollow. No matter which way these apologists try to slice it, gender-bending is an expression of sexual deviancy.

That is not to say that all such people are closet pedophiles. Gender dysphoria is a legitimate mental health issue. However, the transgenderism movement is not about gender dysphoria. Rather, it is about the promotion of a rebellion against the truth of the binary nature of human sexuality. Furthermore, one cannot deny that the movement specifically targets children.

Evidently, Tyson has long been wrestling with sexual deviancy. Indeed, it led not only to the mutilation of his body but also to the destruction of his marriage and career. Moreover, he may soon find himself in legal jeopardy.
