YouTube comedian Nicole Arbour had her entire channel taken down after a controversial video she created was reported too many times.
To kick off the long Labor Day weekend, Arbour uploaded a six-minute video called “Dear Fat People,” in which she calls out the culture surrounding fat acceptance.
"Fat shaming is not a thing. Fat people made that up," she says in the now-viral video. "Are you going to tell the doctor that they're being 'mean' and 'fat-shaming you' when they say you have fucking heart disease?"
Arbour goes on to tell a story of going to the airport and seeing a “TLC special-fat” family that got to cut in front of the line for having mobility issues.
Through her quick jokes, the comedian stands her ground, calling out overweight people for thinking it’s OK to be unhealthy.
"If we offend you so much that you lose weight, I am okay with that," she says. "I don't feel bad for you, because you're taking your body for granted."
The video, unsurprisingly, was met with immediate outrage from people all over the Internet, including fellow YouTubers.
YouTube star Grace Helbig uploaded her own emotional video in response to Arbour’s.
"I was really triggered by that video, unexpectedly," she said. "I've had my own issues with body image in the past, some really dark personal struggles."
Arbour’s entire YouTube channel was even taken down after complaints came pouring in, but it was eventually restored.
“Wow, I'm the first comedian in the history of @YouTube to be #censored There are graphic videos about murder and torture, but satire is,” she wrote on Twitter.
