Why doesn't Beerus know who Boo is?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

Why doesn't Beerus know who Boo is?

This has always stuck to me as supremely odd. Even if Beerus were sleeping during Boo's rampage, you'd think Whis would have filled him in considering he would have almost died? How is Freeza's death more pressing news?

He is probably aware of Kid Buu, but not Fat Buu.

This.

As for why Freeza's death was more pressing news that means Beerus can't order him to do his dirty work anymore (as we know from Super that Beerus told Freeza to destroy planet Vegeta), but Kid Boo was never following his orders.

Yeah, it was probably because Freeza was "working" for Beerus. Not a matter of who's stronger or more dangerous but who's on Beerus' payroll.
More like "here's the news, relating to you, you've lost 2 employees" and not so much "here's the news in general".

Well, Beerus almost dying by virtue of the Kaioshin being eradicated relates to him.

Technically, it "almost" relates to him.

I've always taken it as an issue he's never concerned himself with since it happened in the past, and enough Kaioshin survived that he wouldn't have to worry.

But Goku actively threatening Shin in the present? That's a different matter.

To be honest, Beerus, much like Shin, seems pretty mediocre at his job. That he doesn't know anything (or care about anything) doesn't surprise me.
Just sit here and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, don't do it right away. Don't do it when you can. Read my posts instead. It's the only way to live a life without regrets.
