They did the same with Charlie, but I was wondering if he would speak on this, I had no idea about any of this drama until Charlie posted about it and I only checked bc the boys collab
Next video is a spiritual successor to "I Am Not Your Friend" called something like "I Am Not Your News Source", explaining that we can't ask entertainers to provide immediate and accurate information about anything and everything.
@@emoticonmen ultimately mogul mail is a side project, and there are other people who are able to give accurate information on internet drama faster if you truly need to indulge in drama slop and be told what to think about the situation. content creators do not "owe us" anything, other than the respect to not manipulate or mislead us intentionally. lud makes videos, we get recommended them, we click on them. it is an almost purely transactional experience, that exists because he has the skillset and production quality to make videos, and people like the videos he makes and the personality he shows off in them. he could disappear off the internet tomorrow and i don't believe any reaction other than sadness, confusion, or curiosity would be a healthy manner of thinking. if your reaction to that would be, "where the fuck is ludwig his job is to make videos for us" i don't know what to tell you (not saying that this is your viewpoint, i could have misread your tone, so my bad if my frustration is mistargeted. but if you truly believe it is "his job" to make the content that you, personally, think is high quality, i feel that to be an incredibly narrow minded viewpoint.)
@@emoticonmen what do you mean “his job”? His content is whatever he wants it to be. This channel started as a way to respond to fan questions. I guess the deeper philosophical question here is what do we *owe* ? To what extent does Ludwig *owe* us “immediate and accurate information”? Should he be held accountable for this and to this (immediate and accurate) extent? How? By who? Why? Not to argue that he could just spout lies with no repercussions, but man this is Ludwig from Video Games.
@@hylexia dude cooked with this one. In my opinion he doesn’t need to do anything. Nobody owes anyone anything other than human decency. Ludwig goes above and beyond with these videos. I appreciate having someone who seemingly researches trending topics before mailing a video
@@emoticonmenit’s not his job, it’s just what he does and people tend to expect it of him since he does it so well consistently. He had the choice to not do it lol
You and Charlie should not be getting harassed for not covering this immediately, it's honestly just messed up. All the discussion of this should just be going to Ava Kris Tyson their actions
Lot of people think they just wait for the commonly accepted take on twitter to get out so they get no flak, idk if that’s what they do or not but it’s a result of their consistent lukewarm takes.
@@iAmReeseStreams people are speculating there might be a double standard in coverage between the two. Tyson is trans and doc isn’t. People were reluctant to cover the topic out of fear of being called transphobic or blacklisted from doing collabs or having deals with Mr beast in the future
One of my favorite scholars said, whereas we used to have a golden hour we now have a golden few minutes to disseminate information and it’s SO true… like let people breathe and gather all the facts
Unironic that the coverage that took the longest to come out was the best I've seen of what happened and the context to everything. Even though he's on vacation he seems to know better than any twitter addicts what actually happened
I know right it’s crazy, it’s almost like when people take time, they came form better opinions, where as the people of twitter will speed run having an opinion and thrust that quick opinion forming onto everyone
People need to realize a situation like this has levels and you need to wait for more to possibly be exposed to cover all those levels. Had he made a video immediately, and then another one every day for like a week to cover each piece that came out up till now, he would've been accused of milking it. Can't win with people terminally online.
H3 podcast coverage was much better and came out on the same day. There were a lot of things that Ludwig didn't include, like how Krys spammed porn on the discord group and sent a tweet to Lava saying that he had sent him "noods" and not to share them. That an adult enjoyed cp drawings was also having conversations with sexual tones with minors is so much more than "highly inappropriate".
i know nothing about this guy but from this event alone he sounds like a pretty malicious dude to be putting on this journalist act. all his actions point to wanting to get fame and attention out of this story rather than justice and truth.
Does it really? A "job" that includes no pay doesn't sound enticing to anyone who is an adult. That's why using minors is the play by them because the minor's are fine working with their favorite content creator rather than getting paid. And be honest a discord mod is legit just a babysitter for a fandom.
@@itouchbuttons I shouldn’t even need to tell you how predatory and ridiculous that sounds. That’s literally how Ava began interacting with one of these kids. She “enticed” them. Oh and also that’s called child labor. Also, as an Internet personality, why would you want actual children moderating your community???
@@Saitamasensei51 Child labor? Its volunteer work. Its not an actual job. Its a power symbol. Don't you think you're being a bit dramatic? Predators will get to kids no matter what.. Maybe parents should monitor their children better. Even better? Keep minors off the internet. Its ruining them.
There have been discord servers I've left because there are minors kicking around. Nothing to do with them being annoying kids. More to do with I'm old enough to be their father! Even if there are topics like a particular game or certain computer hardware to talk about, it's a child...that's not my child and their parent isn't there so hells no, I'm not sticking around for that interaction. And when it comes to kids being mods 🤦♂️ are they wired to the moon? If the mod is doing their job they are looking out for the innaproriate against TOS or community rules crap ppl post and dealing with it. Why are they getting kids to come on to go look for the very stuff TOS is meant to be protecting them from?
The strangest part of this is no longer the crime, it’s that the person who broke the news was willing to drive across America to ask Chris Chan to share the story
The fact he had to make this just to appease the crowds of people harassing him and Charlie for not speaking out about it (when Charlie did on stream and Ludwig is literally on vacation) is crazy.
@@nick.100 it's incredibly sexist and literally happened within seconds of this story breaking. When they spoke out days after the Dr Disrespect situation. How are you meant to react to something you don't know about yet. People have lives even internet creators have lives outside of this.
Is not for " having journalistic integrity" is for not being as kick to jump in like when it was Dr Disrespect and not even the same energy, like most people, people are asking for consistency, but sure, lets cope with that.
@@FcoEnriquePerezif he immediately jumped to conclusions, the video quality would be trash and a lot of the info be debunked would be presented as fact. additionally, he still waited for some time before talking about dr disrespect, not to mention he’s on vacation rn
@Xheddar Yes and most of the people doing this tend to push for a lower age of consent. i.e., Sneako and Tate. If people really cared about the kids at all, they'd bash them as well. Instead, they're using it to push their agenda.
its kinda crazy how impatient ppl are on the internet, just because you didnt cover the situation right away does not mean you are avoiding or you will never cover it, people need to chill😭
It’s mostly cause him and Charlie covered the situation in 1 or 2 days since the allegations came out at the time but took their time discussing the Ava situation when she was accused of very similar allegations.
it’s refreshing to see a comment section not so full of transphobia and of just disgust and disappointment at what ava did, i’ve gotta give total props to you lud for creating a fairly level headed community
I've been following this situation on multiple big youtube channels. I've yet to see any transphobia AT ALL. Like literally none. Not a single comment. Mind you, I don't spend 5min scrolling to the bottom of the comments section. But youtube has way more sane and level-headed people than Twitter. All the transphobia complaints I see are originating from Twitter (or X whatever u want to call it)
If you want this comment section to not be about trans people stop fucking mentioning trans people. I’ve seen like 5 different people saying ahh it’s so nice there isn’t anyone mentioning trans people ahh just so great. Like stfu y’all your the only one mentioning them in the main comments And not focusing on the situation at hand
tbh I was worried that the vid was gonna have "acceptable" transphobia in it like Charlie did, it's nice seeing a video and comment section with normal people for once
Is it? The "victim" is saying they weren't groomed. Sounds like it makes perfect sense to me, everyone is just offended because they get off on pedohunting and the internet has hated this person for being trans for a while
One thing about this story that people seem to be brushing over, does no one think it’s weird that a 16 year old could be working for Mr. Beast for “a couple of years”? Does that not violate child labor laws??
Children’s are cheap and have a lot of time doesn’t make the situation better but is the reason why many different people do that Mr Beast is by far not the only one doing it and fans can often be exploited very easily
thanks for pushing the transphobic BS aside early and then getting into real coverage. gave me all the information i wanted without feeling like the person reporting the information was actively trying to hurt the the trans community. a lot of the coverage on this has been transphobia first, news second. thank you so much ludwig.
Ludwig was only 41% correct, people knew about this for at least a year. Too bad the woke mafia wants to get to our children and covered it up for a year.
Thank you for covering this the way you did. Of course Ava did some awful stuff, and I don't condone it whatsoever, but its refreshing to hear someone cover the story in such a respectful way. Huge props to you Ludwig!
I don’t watch you very often but when I do you’re so logical, straight to the facts. Not addressing or caring about other small factors of these people.
as a 16 year old, i think having friends who are older and are adults isn't a problem, you can both like the same games and shit like that, but there shouldn't be any edgy jokes or anything, that's just Fucked up.
as a 26 year old today, having friends of all ages is a good thing. that way you know what is okay behaviour and what is not. easier to recognize when someone like Ava (or Dr D, or EDP, Cryaotic, Cody Ko or....) is being inappropriate. when i was 17 i was friends with a 30 year old. im still friends with them now! not EVER were they weird to me about anything, not ever were they inappropriate. it's so easy to just be a normal human being. which is hard to remember with how many people choose not to be.
Yeah, I played video games with lots of adults. If they made sexual jokes or called me daddy, I wouldn't be comfortable... It's just weird, and can lead to grooming.
For some context on Shadman at the time: he was insanely normalized back then. Due to being friends with a bunch of popular content creators (for example, a LOT of the ex-Newground people, like the OneyPlays group) known for their edgy humour, and being popular during the internet's "edgy phase", where people like Idubbz, Leafy, h3h3, and even Pewdiepie (all very influential TH-camrs at the time) were slinging slurs left and right, a lot of the art he did was just excused as "an edgy joke". The shit he did with drawing actual fucking real life children was completely inexcusable though, fuck that guy and thank god he's in jail.
Yeah I remember that around the time when he drew an actual person is when people were like oh okay we have to back away from this but before then it was just the state of the internet at the time.
bro I've been on the internet since I was like 8 so loli shit etc just slips off my back but using a reference for that kind of shit is a new kind of low its insane
Yeah, I was surprised to see that even the partner of one of the people Lud collabed with a while ago (Joey from the Trash Taste podcast) had purchased some Shadman prints in the past… seems like a lot of people just straight up ignored how weird a lot of his content was
@@mar-nyan I think a lot of people just aren't super well informed on it because I myself am pretty steeped in that whole side of the internet and have known shadmans name and artstyle since I was in like 6th grade didnt know he was up to this shit and just saw his more "normal" stuff which is what I'm guessing Joey bought
it was INSANE that he was just accepted in the newgrounds crowd, his work is just disgusting all over and has the most rancid vibes, even without the cp stuff. I haven't really paid attention to any of those creators but I hope none of them are still buddy with him
I really appreciate you covering this from your POV in a levelheaded manner, while also specifying that Ava being transgender has *no* bearing to the stuff they have done or the allegations. I have found it really hard to follow along with the drama or discourse, or have said motivation to even try catching up, because a *LOT* of it has been muddied by actual hateful transphobia and lots of people going in with the mindset of using this to push some really toxic views. I was disappointed Charlie didn’t address the transphobia at all (when skimming his vid on this) like you had done, considering that this was part of the reason *why* people were flocking to this aside from the things Ava had done. So that really put me off from wanting to watch the video in full.
Yeah ngl it's part of ehy I stopped watching him. He never addresses tranphobia (or even general queerphobia), even when it's extremely relevant to the topic at hand. In this case, it's clear why the blue checkmark people are hounding commentators to talk about it, and it's not becayse the actually care about pedos.
@@PogiAmigaYeah, even though I still peep to see if he does upload something silly, he’s started to really put me off more and more in recent years. Either with this general sense of becoming too embroiled in drama or pushing too much negativity focused with movies/games, or brushing aside or not even acknowledging some genuine misogyny, transphobia, etc that’s present in topics he covers (ex. The obsessions over Amber Heard, the misogyny over Brittney Griner’s exchange from Russia, the Idubbbz apology, and recently this).
hell, in the video Lud uses a source they named it "This will make you hate Kris Tyson", the only reason to title it "Kris Tyson" rather than Ava or even Ava Kris Tyson feels like it's purely to be subtly transphobic to get the clicks/support from the many transphobes jumping on the real issue and conflating it to Ava's 'trans-ness'
@@JadonTheEternal the only thing these pedos have in common isn’t being trans, it’s being content creators. 99% of the twitter accounts talking about this said nothing about dr disrespect or Cody co
@@fernandolemus5965 The sunnyV2 video did not age well at all. None of his claims were related to Ava being a groomer or a pdf file, they were just about Ava being trans and how that was a problem for Mr. Beast. How does that make SunnyV2's video age better? Honestly just makes it worse, because he chose to jump on a hotbutton topic (Ava's transition) instead of doing some investigation and finding something obviously much worse
It's trash how people have twisted the narrative. It's also trash how people are attacking creators for a statement when the information is still being combed through. Good video Lud
@@newkg3591 people have been wondering about the Dr Disrespect situation for a substantial amount of time, so it makes more sense as to why that story was so immediate. However, it was also abysmal how people treated that situation. Creators aren't on the fans time, nor are they obligated to cover/respond to every story
@@newkg3591I can’t believe people like you says these things and then when confronted with information that you’re wrong choose to stop talking to people instead of realizing you’re wrong
@@AhmedMahmoud-ez8gv They are obviously not biased if they made these videos in the first place. Also, I'm pretty sure Charlie's video came out the SAME FUCKING DAY.
And yet it was months between the first people bringing up videos about this and the bubble up of current drama. You argue for patience, and yet the issue is that a lot of the discussion was suppressed.
Only today have i truly appreacted your normal streaming setup... The sound in comparison to this video is infinitely better. Tx for getting the co tent out though.
I mean, I went looking for your explanation because you do the legwork so I don't have to. And then i saw you were on vacation and any delay was understandable. thank you for doing the legwork, even on your holiday
A lot of these situations seem to stem from minors working for influencers online. With that and all of the stuff that has gone down with kids doing programming work. I feel like we as a society should put a lot more focus on preventing or monotering online child labour.
That's true, but I think most people don't realize how much fans and childrens are expoited: Codes, clips, logos, moderation... Most of it got made freely by childs and fans. It's crazy to see those millionaires influencers got half the work done for free...
you'd expect parents to actually be concerned about what their kids are doing on the internet but it seems many are just completely negligent in that regard
tbh I kinda watch this channel as a news source so personally I like that you take your time on getting the facts together and people be wild to think they can demand you do well anything not on your own time
Thank you for taking the time out of your vacation with your family to make this video even when you didn't have to. Crazy how people were giving you shit for not making a video to cover this, absolutely no patience or respect
You got to remember Ludwig defended Ava last year against another video pointing out the problems Ava may cause. So jumping to today where Ava is truly a problem now and people are going to Ludwig’s old response video and requesting his stance on the matter seeing he publicly defended Ava and now she is a major problem now so his statements didn’t age well.
@@tundrance I get it but he took the time to make this video, and these allegations came out after the Cody stuff, idk why that would be any different😂

Ludwig will just do what he always does, wait until the public opinion has sided one way then make a video claiming he supported that side from the start
The fact that the conversion steered towards transphobia and not Tyson being a garbo human means that being trans works as a shield to deflect or downplay criticism of any current or past wrongdoing. This proved it
@@topdeckkek2266 It perpetuates myths about trans people along with being an excuse to be outwardly transphobic. I don't think it's a shield it just proved that people are more willing to be transphobic than ignore an identity and call them a shit head. (btw not mad here just offering another view)
@@topdeckkek2266 if people had actually come after her for doing weird things and hadn't used it as an excuse to attack trans people as a whole and misgender her, it wouldn't be a "shield." you're shooting yourself in the foot

If anything as a trans person you have to be perfect because if you jay walk that means Trans people are making the kids jay walk. 😂😂 like delete that shit 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you for being one of the only creators covering this to discuss the serious allegations without restorting to deadnaming and misgendering/general transphobia. The amount of bloodlust I've seen from transphobic people on twitter has been very icky.
What Ava did inappropriate, there's no doubt about that, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth calling her out for it when the vast majority of people calling her out with me are using the fact she's trans for why she did these things, conveniently forgetting the dozens of other cis content creators who did the same things she did. They dislike her for being Trans, I dislike her for being inappropriate with minors; we are not the same.
its really not the vast majority, the rudest people are just the loudest. shes getting dogged on all sides and we as trans people have the most reason to call out predatory behavior and look out for youths
@Doll-z9y You still misread it so i'll spell it out for you: People are using the fact she's trans to explain why she was being a creep. What people are forgetting is that *other* content creators who *aren't* trans were *also* creeps in similar if not worse ways, such as Onision, EDP445, Shane Dawson, Cryaotic, Ryan Haywood, DrDisrespect, James Charles, Colleen Ballinger, CallMeCarson, Austin Jones, Alex Day, LionMaker, Tom Milson... do you want more?
@@Ohokk0 she’s just one person. No one person can represent a whole community and ppl shouldn’t put that responsibility on a random person, especially considering the vast amount of different experiences. It sucks that marginalised groups have to do more work and be more vigilant than non-marginalised ppl to not make their group look bad bc they’re scrutinised more
For me, the sharing of revenge porn seems the most objectively fucked up thing. The other shit is bad. But that felt like the most ironclad, you're a shithead move.
@@SonyInterviews to be completely fair, as far as I know the art she purchased was completely fictional in nature. So no, doesn't fall into the "drawn CP" category that shadman is known for. I know many people still think there is no difference between drawn CP and lolis, but I feel like it should still be mentioned since I'd argue one is far more harmful than the other.
I know you didn't focus on ava being trans, but i'm glad to hear that you decided to not de-gender her during the coverage of the situation, as you said, her being trans is irrelevant, what is relevant, is things she's done wrong. Trans people can be morally wrong too, this **isn't** a defense of ava. i'm just stating that you can be horrible regardless of who you are. either way there's the bare minimum of gendering people, cis or trans, however they want to be gendered. you wouldn't suddenly call a cis person, that did the same thing, the opposite pronouns.
The whole idea of "people wanting to be gendered" is new. It's actually not the norm. It's actually just an idea that a small portion of the population are trying to force onto the entire majority. Have you ever thought about that? The "norm" is the norm because the majority find it works for them. Who are you to try and take that away from them? Sorry to accost you, but I'm calling bull.
Great video once again!! I love the way you describe each topic and you put it in order. I feel like its hard to understand from reading random posts online, but your videos make it easy. Keep up the good work!
As one of very few internet commentators that considers these topics with personal research, respect for parties involved, critical thinking and integrity, please continue to take as long as you need to put out a video!
Omg yes!!!!! I feel like so many people in the commentary community just took this chance to be transphobic af and if they aren’t, their fans certainly did and the creators just watch and don’t intervene. I feel like watching my community’s rights getting set back like 20 years reading the comment section of the average Kris exposé video
@@popstel2286 an outlet for people to “””more justly””” express their transphobia has definitely appeared from this. i doubt that trans rights are gonna get set back from this, though- its just that bigots like being loud. there are… other things in the world that are limiting/trying to limit them.
i mean, dont get me wrong, im not transphobic by any means, but, its clear that she transitioned so she can escape the allegations when they will come out.@@popstel2286
@@rahtahtahmost people dont medically transition just to dodge accountability then not even bring it up when trying to dodge accountability on twitter. maybe u dont think ure a transphobe but u should be careful not to walk and talk like one
I saw how many blue checkmarked nerds wanted you to cover it as SOON as it happened. It was insane hope your trip is well smaller Napoleon Edit: thanks for the thumbs I'm not giving them back enjoy not having a thumb 🫵
You're so right. Why do these weirdo/cronically online people think that since you happen to post things online you must be shackled to twitter constantly refreshing for anything.
People are cancelling people for not cancelling people quick enough. Even CinnamonToastKen got shitted on because apparently since he didn't make a tweet about this means he's a pedophile 💀 . Just absolute twitter brainrot. Holy fuck
I'm not familiar with this channel or the full situation but I am glad someone is breaking down each part without being a transphobe and differentiating the real vs the faked events one by one. And yes, a lot of people wanted ava to fail for simply being trans especially because she is a good parent and supported by friends and there seem to be nothing wrong. It is unfortunate that Ava turned out to be someone who has a lot of inappropriate behavior over the years. Glad we were able to get down to what's true and what's not.
Its insane how much transphobia I have seen. Yes she is a creep, but people have been attacking ME for being a pedo as well just cause of my identity. I think her transgender status is a small part of the story due to how people are reacting to it/taking it out of context and villainizing all trans women. It has set the community back so far. Thank you for being respectful to the trans community and making each one of us, no matter our faults, feel like we can life a life in the bodies we want.
Hey Lud! thanks for the vid, just wanted to say that I was eager to see this one, but to the point of you getting people that are mad about the time it takes is ridiculous! hope you'll disregard them. Thanks for your work!
Well if you think about it it actually makes a lot of sense a predator like edp would want to expose another predator like kris so he can keep all the kids for himself and eliminate his competition at the same time
And Also think about it if u want to expose a predator u have to think like a predator and what better man to think like a predator than edp? The original predator himself ya know what they say it takes one to know one or in this case it takes a predator to know a predator
Ironic that EDP made an anti-loli video like a week before getting caught a second time it also reminds me Kyle Carrozza blacklisting a shota artist a while ago and we all know what happened two days ago with him and then this days after it's like a new predator comes out every week now
@@firechillbro720 not really in this case. EDP did no attempts to hide his behaviour. And straight up said EXACTLY what he wanted to do. Just because EDP is a child predator, doesn't mean his opinion on this case means more. I would argue it means less because his method and overall goal from ava was incredibly different.
@@royalFiddle Do we? Because this is the first time I have heard the name. Do you need help? I dont mean that in a piss take way I mean that in a "worried for you" way.
It's honestly really refreshing for someone with the reach and audience of Ludwig to talk about how utterly, undeniably revolting Shadman is. He is a scourge on our species, a pathetic waste of space and matter, yet far too many corners of the internet herald him as some kind of legend. 🤮
What hurts about this all is I looked up to her for being trans and popular but now that this happened I’m sure more transphobic people will use this to hurt our community more and that just hurts. Edit: this hurts to see people be transphobic in the replies but I should have and do expect it and all I have to say to you people is why? Who does it hurt that I’m trans or that anyone else is trans? Just because one person in the transgender community is a bad person does not mean we all are. I’m not defending Ava’s actions at all but that does not give anyone the right to invalidate her or any other trans person’s gender identity.
Not trans here but it sucks to see as someone who has friends who are trans, two MtF and one FtM. This whole thing really is shitty. I don't defend Ava, what she did is wrong same goes with Doc and Cody. Of course people will use this as fuel to dehumanize trans people when no one went out after Doc for being a white man and saying "all white men are predators". It's not a trans issue, nor anything with identity or religion, it's a predator issue. What we should be focus on is making sure kids are save and that the victim is fine. While the victim denied being groom, Ava still shouldn't have done such things.
The fact that you think that is so messed up. You shouldn’t look up to someone for pretending to be something they’re not. Chris was born a boy, he is a manly guy, he is a guy, he penetrates, he doesn’t get penetrated.
I really appreciate your journalism here, finding the person behind the snapchat messages which only had 1 like, that's some good research, a lot of the commentary videos don't go as in depth as you especially as you're in Paris with your family
There is of loli that is traced from real CP. Where is the line? if you are attracted to the body of a child regardless of its fictional or not, it means you are attracted to the BODY OF A CHILD
@demospolsion6539 but all the top comments on this vid are about people being mad he didn't make a video quickly. His audience isn't the type to care about this as much as DrD or even a MiniLadd
LavaGS recently walked back what he said about it just being edgy jokes and said after reading the messages he finds them extremely inappropriate but he still doesn't feel like he was groomed he also had to apologize for sending people to comment on those videos because they only covered the Shadman stuff
Good to see someone finally using the correct pronouns and stuff whilst covering this. It's awful behaviour, regardless of being trans. So many has used this to be transphobic
You're the best internet news man Lud don't let people who can't wait for a well researched and produced video get you down. Have a nice time with your family!
I absolutely hate the fact that people think this gives them a reason to hate EVERY trans person, just because a small portion of them are bad people. It’s really horrible and it gives these people justification to hate them even more.
Its happened with every minority group durong their path towards normalization and acceptance in society, and its so messed up. I know this is probably not an appropiate place to wonder this, but it really does make my curious what the next minority group will be thatll face the same type of widespread hate and generalization
Fr, I saw the replies to MrBeast's tweet about it, and there were so many replies that were straight-up transphobic. Like legit hating on all trans people
@@tuxtitan780 i gotta be honest with you... every single one already has, at least every minority group relevant to the West. "widespread hate and generalization" is unfortunately the definition of how you make sure a minority group stays not only a minority, but also pushed to the margins. any demographic i can think of, i can also think of their criminal or violent stereotypes that were blown out from the actions of a few of them.
@@tuxtitan780Not just every minority group, but literally every group of people you can think of. The number of people who hate all men or women or white/black/Hispanic/etc. All sexual groups, all followers of a given religion, hell even people who watch a certain show or listen to a certain podcast. It's just inevitable and we shouldn't give it so much attention
I disagree. It is impossible to accept that 60%+ of SA is committed by such a small minority and expect everyone to NOT draw conclusions. I will not instantly call a Trans a pedo, but I would NEVER let them close to my kids.
Ugh, well this is disappointing. I hope this doesn't set the trans community back or negatively affect those of us who are just minding our business and not interacting inappropriately with minors 😒 Funny how a lot of ppl seem to care more about her gender than her actions. So thank you, Lud, for addressing and shutting down the transphobia in the intro! Stay safe, y'all! 💜
@@sans719 Yep unfortunately, but that's how it always seems to go for any minority group. One bad apple leads to the whole orchard being burned down :/
Yeah, I've seen a very large amount of people saying that this is average for trans people, or that this is a reflection of trans people, when in reality this was a specific pedophile that just so happens to eventually become trans. This connection is even more ridiculous by the fact that he wasn't trans during those messages with a minor, and when he was looking at that artwork.

Next video is a spiritual successor to "I Am Not Your Friend" called something like "I Am Not Your News Source", explaining that we can't ask entertainers to provide immediate and accurate information about anything and everything.
tbf it literally his job as a news channel on internet drama to create immediate and accurate information on internet drama.
@@emoticonmen ultimately mogul mail is a side project, and there are other people who are able to give accurate information on internet drama faster if you truly need to indulge in drama slop and be told what to think about the situation.
content creators do not "owe us" anything, other than the respect to not manipulate or mislead us intentionally. lud makes videos, we get recommended them, we click on them. it is an almost purely transactional experience, that exists because he has the skillset and production quality to make videos, and people like the videos he makes and the personality he shows off in them. he could disappear off the internet tomorrow and i don't believe any reaction other than sadness, confusion, or curiosity would be a healthy manner of thinking. if your reaction to that would be, "where the fuck is ludwig his job is to make videos for us" i don't know what to tell you
(not saying that this is your viewpoint, i could have misread your tone, so my bad if my frustration is mistargeted. but if you truly believe it is "his job" to make the content that you, personally, think is high quality, i feel that to be an incredibly narrow minded viewpoint.)
@@emoticonmen what do you mean “his job”? His content is whatever he wants it to be. This channel started as a way to respond to fan questions. I guess the deeper philosophical question here is what do we *owe* ? To what extent does Ludwig *owe* us “immediate and accurate information”? Should he be held accountable for this and to this (immediate and accurate) extent? How? By who? Why? Not to argue that he could just spout lies with no repercussions, but man this is Ludwig from Video Games.

You and Charlie should not be getting harassed for not covering this immediately, it's honestly just messed up. All the discussion of this should just be going to Ava Kris Tyson their actions
People wanted the same speed and energy that went towards covering the story, same as dr disrespect. All about consistency
Lot of people think they just wait for the commonly accepted take on twitter to get out so they get no flak, idk if that’s what they do or not but it’s a result of their consistent lukewarm takes.
@@topdeckkek2266 i can understand that to an extent but i think the shit they've been getting for it isn't justified
@@iAmReeseStreams people are speculating there might be a double standard in coverage between the two. Tyson is trans and doc isn’t. People were reluctant to cover the topic out of fear of being called transphobic or blacklisted from doing collabs or having deals with Mr beast in the future

One of my favorite scholars said, whereas we used to have a golden hour we now have a golden few minutes to disseminate information and it’s SO true… like let people breathe and gather all the facts
Unironic that the coverage that took the longest to come out was the best I've seen of what happened and the context to everything. Even though he's on vacation he seems to know better than any twitter addicts what actually happened
I know right it’s crazy, it’s almost like when people take time, they came form better opinions, where as the people of twitter will speed run having an opinion and thrust that quick opinion forming onto everyone
People need to realize a situation like this has levels and you need to wait for more to possibly be exposed to cover all those levels. Had he made a video immediately, and then another one every day for like a week to cover each piece that came out up till now, he would've been accused of milking it. Can't win with people terminally online.
H3 podcast coverage was much better and came out on the same day. There were a lot of things that Ludwig didn't include, like how Krys spammed porn on the discord group and sent a tweet to Lava saying that he had sent him "noods" and not to share them.
That an adult enjoyed cp drawings was also having conversations with sexual tones with minors is so much more than "highly inappropriate".
Mutahar made a much longer video that goes over everything in much more detail
Yeah who decided on the timing of all this anyway? If it was Keemstar it wouldn't surprise me one bit if that was on purpose.

The trend of discord mods being minors should be looked at closely.
Does it really? A "job" that includes no pay doesn't sound enticing to anyone who is an adult. That's why using minors is the play by them because the minor's are fine working with their favorite content creator rather than getting paid. And be honest a discord mod is legit just a babysitter for a fandom.
@@itouchbuttons I shouldn’t even need to tell you how predatory and ridiculous that sounds. That’s literally how Ava began interacting with one of these kids. She “enticed” them. Oh and also that’s called child labor. Also, as an Internet personality, why would you want actual children moderating your community???
@@Saitamasensei51 Child labor? Its volunteer work. Its not an actual job. Its a power symbol. Don't you think you're being a bit dramatic? Predators will get to kids no matter what.. Maybe parents should monitor their children better. Even better? Keep minors off the internet. Its ruining them.
There have been discord servers I've left because there are minors kicking around. Nothing to do with them being annoying kids. More to do with I'm old enough to be their father! Even if there are topics like a particular game or certain computer hardware to talk about, it's a child...that's not my child and their parent isn't there so hells no, I'm not sticking around for that interaction.
And when it comes to kids being mods 🤦♂️ are they wired to the moon? If the mod is doing their job they are looking out for the innaproriate against TOS or community rules crap ppl post and dealing with it. Why are they getting kids to come on to go look for the very stuff TOS is meant to be protecting them from?
Couldn't agree more
The strangest part of this is no longer the crime, it’s that the person who broke the news was willing to drive across America to ask Chris Chan to share the story

I've been following this situation on multiple big youtube channels. I've yet to see any transphobia AT ALL. Like literally none. Not a single comment. Mind you, I don't spend 5min scrolling to the bottom of the comments section. But youtube has way more sane and level-headed people than Twitter.

One thing about this story that people seem to be brushing over, does no one think it’s weird that a 16 year old could be working for Mr. Beast for “a couple of years”? Does that not violate child labor laws??
Children’s are cheap and have a lot of time doesn’t make the situation better but is the reason why many different people do that Mr Beast is by far not the only one doing it and fans can often be exploited very easily
Yeah this sounds like Ava being put in charge of a bunch of child workers
For it to be child labor it has to be forced. They were not forced they were given compensation.
thanks for pushing the transphobic BS aside early and then getting into real coverage. gave me all the information i wanted without feeling like the person reporting the information was actively trying to hurt the the trans community. a lot of the coverage on this has been transphobia first, news second. thank you so much ludwig.
No one hurts the trans community, they do it themselves welcoming these weirdos.
Ludwig was only 41% correct, people knew about this for at least a year. Too bad the woke mafia wants to get to our children and covered it up for a year.

Being a good person is hard okay, leave the very honest people of TH-cam drama alone 😢
Yes, exactly, this is the best coverage i've seen so far.
Thank you for covering this the way you did. Of course Ava did some awful stuff, and I don't condone it whatsoever, but its refreshing to hear someone cover the story in such a respectful way. Huge props to you Ludwig!
how do you cover sexually harassing a child in a "respectful way" ? are you a child pred? because that's some sht a child pred would say
I don’t watch you very often but when I do you’re so logical, straight to the facts. Not addressing or caring about other small factors of these people.
as a 16 year old, i think having friends who are older and are adults isn't a problem, you can both like the same games and shit like that, but there shouldn't be any edgy jokes or anything, that's just Fucked up.
Ig edgy jokes were a huge thing at that time
as a 26 year old today, having friends of all ages is a good thing. that way you know what is okay behaviour and what is not. easier to recognize when someone like Ava (or Dr D, or EDP, Cryaotic, Cody Ko or....) is being inappropriate.
when i was 17 i was friends with a 30 year old. im still friends with them now! not EVER were they weird to me about anything, not ever were they inappropriate.
it's so easy to just be a normal human being. which is hard to remember with how many people choose not to be.
@@niznas edgy is dark humour, sexual jokes with kids aint that
Yeah, I played video games with lots of adults. If they made sexual jokes or called me daddy, I wouldn't be comfortable... It's just weird, and can lead to grooming.
@@bambii-_ hmm
For some context on Shadman at the time: he was insanely normalized back then.
Due to being friends with a bunch of popular content creators (for example, a LOT of the ex-Newground people, like the OneyPlays group) known for their edgy humour, and being popular during the internet's "edgy phase", where people like Idubbz, Leafy, h3h3, and even Pewdiepie (all very influential TH-camrs at the time) were slinging slurs left and right, a lot of the art he did was just excused as "an edgy joke".
The shit he did with drawing actual fucking real life children was completely inexcusable though, fuck that guy and thank god he's in jail.
Yeah I remember that around the time when he drew an actual person is when people were like oh okay we have to back away from this but before then it was just the state of the internet at the time.
bro I've been on the internet since I was like 8 so loli shit etc just slips off my back but using a reference for that kind of shit is a new kind of low its insane
Yeah, I was surprised to see that even the partner of one of the people Lud collabed with a while ago (Joey from the Trash Taste podcast) had purchased some Shadman prints in the past… seems like a lot of people just straight up ignored how weird a lot of his content was
@@mar-nyan I think a lot of people just aren't super well informed on it because I myself am pretty steeped in that whole side of the internet and have known shadmans name and artstyle since I was in like 6th grade didnt know he was up to this shit and just saw his more "normal" stuff which is what I'm guessing Joey bought
it was INSANE that he was just accepted in the newgrounds crowd, his work is just disgusting all over and has the most rancid vibes, even without the cp stuff. I haven't really paid attention to any of those creators but I hope none of them are still buddy with him

I really appreciate you covering this from your POV in a levelheaded manner, while also specifying that Ava being transgender has *no* bearing to the stuff they have done or the allegations. I have found it really hard to follow along with the drama or discourse, or have said motivation to even try catching up, because a *LOT* of it has been muddied by actual hateful transphobia and lots of people going in with the mindset of using this to push some really toxic views.
I was disappointed Charlie didn’t address the transphobia at all (when skimming his vid on this) like you had done, considering that this was part of the reason *why* people were flocking to this aside from the things Ava had done. So that really put me off from wanting to watch the video in full.
Yeah ngl it's part of ehy I stopped watching him. He never addresses tranphobia (or even general queerphobia), even when it's extremely relevant to the topic at hand.

@@PogiAmigaYeah, even though I still peep to see if he does upload something silly, he’s started to really put me off more and more in recent years.

The obsessions over Amber Heard, the misogyny over Brittney Griner’s exchange from Russia, the Idubbbz apology, and recently this).
He also refused to call her “she”, he just said “they” or “ava Tyson”
hell, in the video Lud uses a source they named it "This will make you hate Kris Tyson", the only reason to title it "Kris Tyson" rather than Ava or even Ava Kris Tyson feels like it's purely to be subtly transphobic to get the clicks/support from the many transphobes jumping on the real issue and conflating it to Ava's 'trans-ness'

Waiting for Ludwig to drop his response to DogPack404's video... 2024 is wild for TH-cam creators.
He saw the video, not reacted yet
Ludwig will just do what he always does, wait until the public opinion has sided one way then make a video claiming he supported that side from the start
Spineless behavior
The man is recording in a small room at 1:30 am while he’s on vacation and people have the audacity to bitch about this not coming out fast enough
it makes sense why lud would wait for statements, a lot of the earliest coverage reeked of transphobia
The fact that the conversion steered towards transphobia and not Tyson being a garbo human means that being trans works as a shield to deflect or downplay criticism of any current or past wrongdoing. This proved it
@@topdeckkek2266 No it shows that people are transphobic
@@topdeckkek2266 It perpetuates myths about trans people along with being an excuse to be outwardly transphobic. I don't think it's a shield it just proved that people are more willing to be transphobic than ignore an identity and call them a shit head. (btw not mad here just offering another view)
@@topdeckkek2266 if people had actually come after her for doing weird things and hadn't used it as an excuse to attack trans people as a whole and misgender her, it wouldn't be a "shield." you're shooting yourself in the foot
@@topdeckkek2266 I mean I don’t think getting hated cause your trans and deadnamed is a shield? It’s not downplaying anything it’s just attached to it lmao.

If anything as a trans person you have to be perfect because if you jay walk that means Trans people are making the kids jay walk. 😂😂 like delete that shit 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you for being one of the only creators covering this to discuss the serious allegations without restorting to deadnaming and misgendering/general transphobia. The amount of bloodlust I've seen from transphobic people on twitter has been very icky.

What Ava did inappropriate, there's no doubt about that, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth calling her out for it when the vast majority of people calling her out with me are using the fact she's trans for why she did these things, conveniently forgetting the dozens of other cis content creators who did the same things she did. They dislike her for being Trans, I dislike her for being inappropriate with minors; we are not the same.
yea confirmation bias sucks, just wish she could've represented better :(
@Doll-z9y You misread my comment. Read it again, slowly.
its really not the vast majority, the rudest people are just the loudest. shes getting dogged on all sides and we as trans people have the most reason to call out predatory behavior and look out for youths
@Doll-z9y You still misread it so i'll spell it out for you: People are using the fact she's trans to explain why she was being a creep. What people are forgetting is that *other* content creators who *aren't* trans were *also* creeps in similar if not worse ways, such as Onision, EDP445, Shane Dawson, Cryaotic, Ryan Haywood, DrDisrespect, James Charles, Colleen Ballinger, CallMeCarson, Austin Jones, Alex Day, LionMaker, Tom Milson... do you want more?
@@Ohokk0 she’s just one person. No one person can represent a whole community and ppl shouldn’t put that responsibility on a random person, especially considering the vast amount of different experiences. It sucks that marginalised groups have to do more work and be more vigilant than non-marginalised ppl to not make their group look bad bc they’re scrutinised more
For me, the sharing of revenge porn seems the most objectively fucked up thing. The other shit is bad. But that felt like the most ironclad, you're a shithead move.
Lmao imo buying drawn CP and supporting a CP drawer is worse, but they’re both disgusting
@@SonyInterviewsthe pic he bought wasn't cp tho? Lud literally showed it in the video
@@SonyInterviews to be completely fair, as far as I know the art she purchased was completely fictional in nature. So no, doesn't fall into the "drawn CP" category that shadman is known for. I know many people still think there is no difference between drawn CP and lolis, but I feel like it should still be mentioned since I'd argue one is far more harmful than the other.
@@LebrunVentrewrong channel for the transphobia buddy
And grooming is not ?
I know you didn't focus on ava being trans, but i'm glad to hear that you decided to not de-gender her during the coverage of the situation, as you said, her being trans is irrelevant, what is relevant, is things she's done wrong.
Trans people can be morally wrong too, this **isn't** a defense of ava. i'm just stating that you can be horrible regardless of who you are.
either way there's the bare minimum of gendering people, cis or trans, however they want to be gendered.
you wouldn't suddenly call a cis person, that did the same thing, the opposite pronouns.
Chris is a man, and a PDF file at that. Humans and mammals cannot change sex.
The whole idea of "people wanting to be gendered" is new.
It's actually not the norm. It's actually just an idea that a small portion of the population are trying to force onto the entire majority.
Have you ever thought about that?
The "norm" is the norm because the majority find it works for them. Who are you to try and take that away from them?

Thanks for not being transphobic, was pretty hard to find a video covering this that wasn’t.
Omg yes!!!!! I feel like so many people in the commentary community just took this chance to be transphobic af and if they aren’t, their fans certainly did and the creators just watch and don’t intervene. I feel like watching my community’s rights getting set back like 20 years reading the comment section of the average Kris exposé video
@@popstel2286 an outlet for people to “””more justly””” express their transphobia has definitely appeared from this. i doubt that trans rights are gonna get set back from this, though- its just that bigots like being loud. there are… other things in the world that are limiting/trying to limit them.

I saw how many blue checkmarked nerds wanted you to cover it as SOON as it happened. It was insane hope your trip is well smaller Napoleon
Edit: thanks for the thumbs I'm not giving them back enjoy not having a thumb 🫵
Smaller napoleon is just foul lmaoo
Mini man
You're so right. Why do these weirdo/cronically online people think that since you happen to post things online you must be shackled to twitter constantly refreshing for anything.
Those checkmarks don't even care about the victims they just see this as ammunition to be hateful towards others.
People are cancelling people for not cancelling people quick enough. Even CinnamonToastKen got shitted on because apparently since he didn't make a tweet about this means he's a pedophile 💀 . Just absolute twitter brainrot. Holy fuck
I'm not familiar with this channel or the full situation but I am glad someone is breaking down each part without being a transphobe and differentiating the real vs the faked events one by one. And yes, a lot of people wanted ava to fail for simply being trans especially because she is a good parent and supported by friends and there seem to be nothing wrong. It is unfortunate that Ava turned out to be someone who has a lot of inappropriate behavior over the years. Glad we were able to get down to what's true and what's not.
Its insane how much transphobia I have seen. Yes she is a creep, but people have been attacking ME for being a pedo as well just cause of my identity. I think her transgender status is a small part of the story due to how people are reacting to it/taking it out of context and villainizing all trans women. It has set the community back so far. Thank you for being respectful to the trans community and making each one of us, no matter our faults, feel like we can life a life in the bodies we want.
Hey Lud! thanks for the vid, just wanted to say that I was eager to see this one, but to the point of you getting people that are mad about the time it takes is ridiculous! hope you'll disregard them. Thanks for your work!

16:04 Trying to get EDP to expose another predator is wild.
Well if you think about it it actually makes a lot of sense a predator like edp would want to expose another predator like kris so he can keep all the kids for himself and eliminate his competition at the same time
And Also think about it if u want to expose a predator u have to think like a predator and what better man to think like a predator than edp? The original predator himself ya know what they say it takes one to know one or in this case it takes a predator to know a predator
@@firechillbro720 you are blowing my mind rn
Ironic that EDP made an anti-loli video like a week before getting caught a second time
it also reminds me Kyle Carrozza blacklisting a shota artist a while ago and we all know what happened two days ago with him
and then this days after
it's like a new predator comes out every week now
@@firechillbro720 not really in this case. EDP did no attempts to hide his behaviour. And straight up said EXACTLY what he wanted to do. Just because EDP is a child predator, doesn't mean his opinion on this case means more. I would argue it means less because his method and overall goal from ava was incredibly different.
Oney plays group: Talked frequently and even lived with Shadman at one point

@@royalFiddle Do we? Because this is the first time I have heard the name. Do you need help? I dont mean that in a piss take way I mean that in a "worried for you" way.
It's honestly really refreshing for someone with the reach and audience of Ludwig to talk about how utterly, undeniably revolting Shadman is. He is a scourge on our species, a pathetic waste of space and matter, yet far too many corners of the internet herald him as some kind of legend. 🤮
What hurts about this all is I looked up to her for being trans and popular but now that this happened I’m sure more transphobic people will use this to hurt our community more and that just hurts.
Edit: this hurts to see people be transphobic in the replies but I should have and do expect it and all I have to say to you people is why? Who does it hurt that I’m trans or that anyone else is trans? Just because one person in the transgender community is a bad person does not mean we all are. I’m not defending Ava’s actions at all but that does not give anyone the right to invalidate her or any other trans person’s gender identity.
Sorry to hear you have to go through this, It's really messed up that people prioritise the gender of someone over their actual heinous actions.
Not trans here but it sucks to see as someone who has friends who are trans, two MtF and one FtM. This whole thing really is shitty.
I don't defend Ava, what she did is wrong same goes with Doc and Cody. Of course people will use this as fuel to dehumanize trans people when no one went out after Doc for being a white man and saying "all white men are predators".
It's not a trans issue, nor anything with identity or religion, it's a predator issue.
What we should be focus on is making sure kids are save and that the victim is fine. While the victim denied being groom, Ava still shouldn't have done such things.
him*
@@zanderalberto3576Ava uses she/her pronouns
The fact that you think that is so messed up. You shouldn’t look up to someone for pretending to be something they’re not. Chris was born a boy, he is a manly guy, he is a guy, he penetrates, he doesn’t get penetrated.
I really appreciate your journalism here, finding the person behind the snapchat messages which only had 1 like, that's some good research, a lot of the commentary videos don't go as in depth as you especially as you're in Paris with your family
A lot of commentary channels don't know how to research anything sadly.
calling it loli art is inaccurate what shadman drew was CP, the subject of the nsfw is a real child not a fictional one, the difference is so huge
I mean, loli art is CP regardless
There is of loli that is traced from real CP. Where is the line? if you are attracted to the body of a child regardless of its fictional or not, it means you are attracted to the BODY OF A CHILD
I think he phrased it that way just because he didn’t want the stupid argument of whether loli porn is just cp (it is) to become the focus
@demospolsion6539 but all the top comments on this vid are about people being mad he didn't make a video quickly. His audience isn't the type to care about this as much as DrD or even a MiniLadd
@@GodfatherBoxSet Unfortunately, those people exist in every community and get VERY defensive when called out
LavaGS recently walked back what he said about it just being edgy jokes and said after reading the messages he finds them extremely inappropriate but he still doesn't feel like he was groomed he also had to apologize for sending people to comment on those videos because they only covered the Shadman stuff
Good to see someone finally using the correct pronouns and stuff whilst covering this. It's awful behaviour, regardless of being trans. So many has used this to be transphobic

Great factual video, really nice to get facts on this case! and enjoy your vacation!
Even if lava says he wasn’t groomed, it is still insanely creepy. People don’t realise what happened to them during childhood until years later.
I absolutely hate the fact that people think this gives them a reason to hate EVERY trans person, just because a small portion of them are bad people. It’s really horrible and it gives these people justification to hate them even more.
Its happened with every minority group durong their path towards normalization and acceptance in society, and its so messed up.
I know this is probably not an appropiate place to wonder this, but it really does make my curious what the next minority group will be thatll face the same type of widespread hate and generalization
Fr, I saw the replies to MrBeast's tweet about it, and there were so many replies that were straight-up transphobic. Like legit hating on all trans people
@@tuxtitan780 i gotta be honest with you... every single one already has, at least every minority group relevant to the West. "widespread hate and generalization" is unfortunately the definition of how you make sure a minority group stays not only a minority, but also pushed to the margins. any demographic i can think of, i can also think of their criminal or violent stereotypes that were blown out from the actions of a few of them.
@@tuxtitan780Not just every minority group, but literally every group of people you can think of. The number of people who hate all men or women or white/black/Hispanic/etc. All sexual groups, all followers of a given religion, hell even people who watch a certain show or listen to a certain podcast. It's just inevitable and we shouldn't give it so much attention
it happened with arabs, it's happening to trans people. Minorities just always need to perfect in the eyes of the majority
As a trans person, this is the correct way to handle this situation without causing harm to us because she is apparent of our community, thank you
agreed. also I appreciate that lud waited for info and took the time to figure out which claims were true or not.
The transphobia was painful to read and so distracting of the real issue here.
I disagree. It is impossible to accept that 60%+ of SA is committed by such a small minority and expect everyone to NOT draw conclusions. I will not instantly call a Trans a pedo, but I would NEVER let them close to my kids.
@@iberisguard8670you have any evidence for that statistic?

Ugh, well this is disappointing. I hope this doesn't set the trans community back or negatively affect those of us who are just minding our business and not interacting inappropriately with minors 😒 Funny how a lot of ppl seem to care more about her gender than her actions. So thank you, Lud, for addressing and shutting down the transphobia in the intro! Stay safe, y'all! 💜
very true
This is just gonna be seen as a justification to generalise and hate on everybody in the community, that's just how it always goes...
@@sans719 Yep unfortunately, but that's how it always seems to go for any minority group. One bad apple leads to the whole orchard being burned down :/
Yeah, I've seen a very large amount of people saying that this is average for trans people, or that this is a reflection of trans people, when in reality this was a specific pedophile that just so happens to eventually become trans. This connection is even more ridiculous by the fact that he wasn't trans during those messages with a minor, and when he was looking at that artwork.
