Background[edit]
Whatever is a multimedia platform created in 2005 by Brian Atlas, originally functioning as a prank channel and now primarily operating as a podcast.[4]
Opinions[edit]
In a 2023 YouTube live video, a women stated, " We're all in our early 20s. This is the time to, like, explore and find yourself," Atlas responded to the statement with, " When you say 'explore and find yourself,' does that mean just get run through by a bunch of dudes? I'm just translating here." The interaction was uploaded to Twitter and reached over 450,000 viewers, which resulted in criticism and mild support from social media users.[5]
In March 2023, Atlas hosted a live YouTube video. During the show, a guest complained about how shallow men are, saying, 'Men are so superficial.' This prompted Atlas to respond with a question: 'Would you date a guy shorter than you?' The guest replied, 'Absolutely not, he has to be 6'2".' This interaction was later clipped and reached over one million views on Twitter.[5]
In March 2023, Atlas was once again set to host a live YouTube video, but with different guests. One particular guest, named Mick, stated, 'If you don't want to be with a girl who has an OnlyFans account or has done adult work, then don't be with that girl. But I will be with her because I love her, and she is beautiful.' The live video seemed to disturb some people in a forum, with a user named EviLore writing, 'On a human-interest level, it is utterly fascinating seeing this guy in action. The sheer lack of dignity, the lack of self-respect, the lack of resistance'.[6]
In May 2023, Brian Atlas posted a clip-on Twitter titled 'OnlyFans girl gets ROASTED.' In the video, Atlas engages two young female guests, questioning them about their earnings as models on OnlyFans. One of the guests, identified as Nicolette Nicole, hesitates to disclose her earnings, stating, 'It’s kind of tacky to say exactly how much money you make,' another participant interjects, expressing disapproval of OnlyFans by stating, 'It’s tacky to be on OnlyFans in the first place'. Nicole responds with, 'Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That’s, like, bad vibes right there.'[4]
