YouTube recently booted comedian Nicole Arbour from their site because her video entitled Dear Fat People was deemed as bullying and fat shaming.
Although the video was presented in an annoying aspiring actressy manner and was certainly mean spirited, it would be hard to argue with most of Arbour’s points – namely that severely overweight people should probably attempt to improve their health instead of pretending being morbidly obese is totally normal.
Instead of advocating exercise and diet, the Fat Acceptance crowd now just attempt to censor anyone who dares bring up the fact that it’s kind of weird that everyone is fat.
People weren’t fat fifty years ago.
This is a public health issue and has nothing to do with your unconscionably high self esteem as you talk shit about skinny bitches while eating.
If you haven’t noticed the irony, it’s easy to sit behind a computer and cry bullying than it is to hit the gym.
In other words, you’re lazy.
The people at YouTube are aware of all this and simply know that there are now a ton of entitled fat people, and that thin women have better shit to do than comment on YouTube threads because everyone likes them and they’re out living real lives and in the process burning calories.
The internet was supposed to be a bastion of free speech, yet as YouTube’s valuation soars they’ll castrate themselves and sell out to popular opinion, censoring anything they deem worthy of backlash.
We’ll find the quest for free speech again unattainable. As net neutrality becomes a fleeting notion, YouTube will come to function the same way as our television media, refusing to allow anything worthy of coverage so as to not offend anyone, no matter how perverse their beliefs so long as they’re mainstream, in an attempt to bolster their ad revenue.
Go on YouTube right now and you’ll find plenty of KKK members espousing their white supremacist notions. You’ll find church ministers telling you that homosexuals are going straight to hell. People advocating terrorism. Donald Trump saying mean things about Mexicans.
But you won’t find this chick bashing fat people.
It obviously makes no logical sense, but to stick with the fat topic, here are some quotes from videos which YouTube has no problem with, and which feature people saying really mean things about skinny women.
Meghan Trainor: All About The Bass: “I’m bringing booty back. Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that. No I’m just playing. I know you think you’re fat.”
Apart from calling them ‘bitches’ for no good reason, you’re now advocating for thin women to develop a complex. Classy. 1,011,678,199 views.
Nicki Minaj: Anaconda: “Where my fat ass big bitches in the club? Fuck the skinny bitches. Fuck the skinny bitches in the club. I wanna see all the big fat ass bitches in the mother fucking club, fuck you if you skinny bitches.”
Yeah high five, we’re overweight. Fuck these thin women, who do they think they are being out in public. Let’s be mean to them.
Is there not a healthier way to express your high opinion of yourself? Or is this simply misplaced frustration at you not being thin? I don’t see any other way to explain the unmerited hostility. 509,589,181 views.
Hole: Skinny Little Bitch: “Skinny little bitch. Staring at the mirror. In your desperation to disappear. And you would be oh so dumb to fuck with me. You staggered here on broken glass. So I could kick your scrawny ass.”
Obviously nobody listens to Hole, but still. The threat of violence is a nice touch. 296,079 views (About the same as Arbour’s video when YouTube removed it.)

In its decline, America is becoming a ridiculous playground for self involved hypocrites. I pray for Taylor Swift to set these closed minded narcissists straight and write a song telling fat women they’re not welcome in her dance club.
I guess that’s what this Nicole Arbour woman tried to do.
Pass the Funyuns.
Checkmate.
