Youtube star’s offensive ‘Dear Fat People’ sketch sees account shutdown
Online star and comedian Nicole Arbour has seen her YouTube and Google + channels taken offline after posting a confrontational ‘Dear Fat People’ sketch which enraged plus size campaigners.
Since publication the video has racked up over 20m views and 188,000 likes, despite being unavailable on the video sharing platform, although it remains accessible on Facebook, prompting Arbour to state that “We literally broke the Internet… With comedy. #censorship"
In the six minute piece Arbour makes the controversial claim that ‘Fat shaming is not a thing. Fat people made that up. That’s the race card, with no race.’
The remarks didn’t go down well with outraged viewers however with Katelyn Willy commenting for many by saying: “Even as a person who's passionate about fitness- this is tasteless, rude and not even marginally funny. Unfollowing.”
