How Bella Ramsey became the internet's most hated star and what it says about toxic fandom culture today

Bella Ramsey isn’t new to the screen. From stealing scenes in Game of Thrones as Lyanna Mormont to leading The Last of Us as Ellie, the 21-year-old has already built an impressive career. She’s earned critical praise, award nominations, and the approval of top directors. Yet, none of that has shielded her from becoming a frequent punching bag for internet trolls.

What started as excitement over her casting in The Last of Us quickly turned into online abuse, targeting not just her performance, but her looks, identity, and the fact that she plays a lesbian character. The attacks aren’t random. Many of them come from echo chambers on Reddit, Instagram, and X, where far-right ideologies and toxic masculinity thrive. These groups often rage against anything that doesn’t fit their narrow image of “mainstream.”

How did MrBeast become a billionaire by giving it all away?

Jimmy Donaldson, better known online as MrBeast, has done what few could imagine: become a billionaire not by keeping, but by giving. At just 27, he's now the youngest self-made billionaire, having built an empire from scratch through YouTube videos that mix wild challenges with generosity.

Hailing from a small town in North Carolina, Jimmy started uploading videos to YouTube at 12. His early content was simple, like gaming clips, reaction videos, and goofy stunts. Then came a game-changer: a 44-hour-long video of him counting to 100,000. It was bizarre, oddly addictive, and wildly popular. That viral moment unlocked a formula: doing something ridiculous, filming it, and tying it all to massive giveaways.
