But it could be that our reality's Mr. Beast is evil, just less obviously so.
Catty, pedantic language remark: If Mr. Beast were evil... (hypothetical or imaginative or counterfactual, therefore subjunctive) If Mr. Beast was evil is possible if we were talking about a factual or probable situation. Examples: Ask your sister if she was at the orgy last night. (factual/probable, versus the hyothetical:) If I were ever at an orgy...
Saying "If Mr. Beast were evil..." is like saying "If the sun were hot..." or "If the sky were blue...".

DeleteYes, I do often give off that will-sell-my-soul-for-money energy.
