全球知名博主MrBeast Gaming頻道近日發布了一段引發巨大爭議的影片。該項目召集了500名男生和500名女生在《Minecraft》（Minecraft）中進行生存競賽，最終勝出的隊伍可獲得5萬美元獎金。
然而，多名女性參賽者在影片發布後公開指責比賽過程存在嚴重不公。
據VTuber Zavvy透露，有部分男玩家利用AI生成女性照片騙過報名審核，成功潛伏進女生陣營，並對女玩家進行了長達數日的大規模「屠殺」。不僅如此，還有證據顯示這些潛伏者在遊戲中留下了帶有侮辱性的言論。
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.
針對此類混亂，有傳聞稱部分女玩家為了換取Uber Eats外賣私下將賬號賣給男生協助破壞。
儘管MrBeast的幕後團隊堅稱已經盡力封禁違規者並復活受害玩家，但參賽者Phoefi認為最終發布的影片完全掩蓋了真相，並沒有反映出真實的比賽過程。
目前，男生隊已領取了5萬美元獎金，但社交媒體上的討伐聲仍在持續上漲。這種建立在性別對立上的巨額獎金競賽，難道只會是一場無法收場的鬧劇麼？
