The sidekick of YouTube star “Mr. Beast,” who recently announced he identified as transgender, admitted in 2016 that he enjoyed a form of anime porn that depicts children and babies sexually, according to a now-deleted tweet.

Christ Tyson revealed on April 5 that he was undergoing hormone replacement therapy when he commented on a user’s photos of showing him before and after he began taking cross-sex hormones. The tweet was captioned “bro wtf happened,” to which Tyson responded, “HRT, and it’s only been 2 months.” (RELATED: Missouri Attorney General Releases Language For Emergency Rule Seeking To Prevent ‘Experimental’ Sex Change Operations)

A resurfaced tweet from Tyson circulated widely on Twitter after user @basedspinach shared it following the YouTubers announcement.

“nothing gets my knob a cranking like some Loli,” Tyson wrote on Dec. 22, 2016. The tweet was quickly deleted, but can still be accessed through an archive link.

Loli — an abbreviation for Vladimir Nobokov’s 1955 novel Lolita, which deals with pedophilia — is known for its sexualized depictions of girls and babies. Loli anime is banned in the United Kingdom.

Tyson has been promoting information about sex changes on his Twitter accounts since announcing his transition.

“I’m genuinely so glad so many people are learning what HRT is and how it CAN and HAS helped so many people because of my tweet,” Tyson wrote in an April 6 tweet. “I was super nervous to be public about this bc I’ve always been so private when it comes to this, but seeing conversations started bc of me is amazing.”
