And describes an enormous smorgasbord of right wing comedy. For real, new drinking game if you can stomach it, take a drink everytime some 'edgy' comedian makes a joke that's not only offensive - but being offensive is the only punchline of it. I'm joking, nobody do that, you'll die.
It really was such a great line. Like I just went "Oh fuck, that applies to so much of this 'just a joke' comedy" ... like I mean we all knew it I think, but I hadn't heard it said out loud like that.

I have almost never clicked on a video from a right wing or anti-SJW channel because I have absolutely no desire to give them a view or engagement. I think that going to videos you don't like to leave comments is also much much more common on the right than on the left. right wingers come at left leaning content creators like a swarm of ants (with ant sized brains)
@Django Fett I have, but only because I didn't realize that's what they were. I was just like "Oh. This person is talking about a topic I care about. Let's see what they can teach me." Then I'd leave and remove them from my watch history after a few minutes of trying to figure out if it's parody or not.

@@jeeks3747 the only funny thing about that is that she wasn't even using those older racist jokes. She was basically just playing a bland af strawman half the time while saying whatever buzzwords and dogwhistles were relevant to the topic. She wasn't just piggybacking off of the not funny old jokes, she was pioneering new ways to be not funny while simultaneously being offensive to everyone who isn't a white conservative.
She seems so confused- does she think she is at a middle school rap battle take down? Comedy is rarely just, yknow, mindlessly ranting at the usual targets of bullies. I cringe as Im watching her clips... not due to the malicious nature of her content (despite being one of her targets) oh no... I'm actually literally covering my eyes for shame ON HER BEHALF because she is SO shockingly devoid of talent, timing, humor or skill, its EMBARRASSING TO WATCH a grown ass woman in her 30s aggressively display what a talentless hack she is, by literally just ranting like a hyperbolic high school bully except, thats not fair to HS bullies, who are sometimes actually clever in how they insult others. While conservatism doesnt lend itself to comedy objectively, this tripe rates orders of magnitude *below* even the usual mediocre shit contwits produce. Embarrassing to watch her so aggressively display her dearth of creativity, cleverness or comedy, with the earnestness of a middle school mean girl. I mean, even putting politics aside, how embarassing for this to be on the permanant record of one's web prescence, even if you are a conservative. She certainly isn't doing them any favors. I imagine they only tolerate her for her value as a sex object to them (the alt right doesnt really lend itself to young available women either, since theyre explicitly pro- sexual-assault...wonder how long she'll be laughing about that topic). She is certainly no comedian, she's not even coherent enough to be a right wing pundit (and that's saying alot).
I know right? That transcended the concept of burn straight into revelation. That's usually the type of thing you're only supposed to hear from yourself about yourself when you're really, truly listening.
I wonder how long before he comes out as "woman". I didn't miss it, did I? I have a long standing bet on when Wynn, Thorn, Slime, Hbomber and a long list of men. will magically transform themselves from white, middle class dude to the most oppressed "woman" on the planet. So far, I'm all in the money.
What's wild to me is that she thinks any sort of shaming works when she's clear evidence it absolutely doesn't work at all. Because if it did she would never post again and maybe consider becoming a better person.
She is also proof positive of their hypocrisy. It is okay to fat shame but elitist and rude and awful to call groups of people racist, ignorant, dishonest, science illiterate, sexist, fascist, etc. even though shaming them may actually also work. Of course, there is debate over what these things are, but then again, there's debate about what constitutes fat and disabled and harmful, and she doesn't care about that. But it makes sense if they think that being fat is actually worse than being racist, homophobic or sexist. Which is what they actually think. And don't usually have the courage to say.
I just heard her "Shame people who have bad habits until they fucking stop".... and said well there goes their nonsense cancel culture narrative right there....
She outed herself as an abuser after her ex said “I was abused by my ex gf” but didn’t say who and she called him a liar trying slander her out of spite (and again he never said it was her and the video was just about abusive relationships and many viewers found it helpful for their own issues regarding abuse)

When my dad died, I dropped out of college, and spent the next year rethinking my life and losing nearly 100 pounds. it turned out that losing weight wasn't that hard when I had control over my environment, and no external stressors sapping my time and will power. A person's weight really has little bearing on their "moral character".
Yeah, I was able to lose weight at a time in my life when I was mentally healthy. Unfortunately that time passed and I ended up much heavier than before.
& even if my eating those cupcakes is a moral failing & being fat is a lack of self control & that's the worst thing anyone can say about me, I'm entirely ok with that.
I gained a lot of weight over the pandemic but being constantly at home eventually made me realize I needed to seek help for my mental health issues. Once I started on my meds and counseling I’ve been extremely inspired to go to the gym and get healthy. I think another large part of it is mental health resources. My entire family is obese and one trend I’ve noticed is the ones who are fat in my family have a lot of untreated mental health disorders. Not saying everyone who is over weight is depressed but for a lot of people I think that could be a reason why
I love how her metaphor of a truth bomb sending shrapnel into your soul to somehow heal it. Heal your soul? That's not how shrapnel works. That's not what a bomb does to people.
Being unbelievably wrong and abnoxious to the point that you want to reach through the screen to throttle her are also key points. The one I remember her most from her is her video on depression, in which she seems to think that depression can be solved by “just doing something fun with friends” and that it’s all your fault, all in your head and all due to your attitude. You know, the type of “advice” that will make depressed people feel sooooo much better and more hopeful. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if one to a few people who idolized her at the time that were in a depression hurt themselves over it
@@maxhoyle7040 It's not even punching though, that's the sad part. It's more like waving her arm in a downwards direction, because she her humor is so incoherent, that you barely know what she's saying.
Her idea of a "woke period piece" is a period piece with "all the stuff from history that we don't like taken out"??? That actually stunned me. Period pieces frequently white wash and romanticize the past, and that's never considered "woke".
I assumed it was some sort of reference to how people want to destroy statues of villains and conservatives are always like "but that's history, you can't just take the bad stuff out of history" Except... nobody does that. Oscar winning period pieces don't pretend that, say, nazis and slavery didn't exist
I think she’s referring to period pieces like Belle and Portrait of a Lady on Fire that acknowledge the fact that PoC and LGBTQ+ folks existed in their time. Because apparently, they’re a new thing.
That race wars sketch is easily the most aggressively unfunny thing I've ever experienced and I'm upset that I even had to experience a second of it. It is a sucking black hole of comedy and I feel like I've lost a piece of my soul now that I know it exists.
Hey. To be fair to her, she applied an analogy that is often used by people to intelligently point out problems with capitalism, racism, etc. Dr. King used the race analogy. Only she does it without any focus, or evidence, or logic.
the "stop eating" advice is very telling. look, nicole, just because you can live off the energy and life force of others doesn't mean the rest of us can.
Nicole Arbor is the female version of those guys who say that they have a "dark sense of humor" but just say the n-word a lot and go "I'm saying it ironically" when you finally call them out on their shit
I want to take part in this: How long does it take Nicole Arbor to change a lightbulb? Pretty long, considering she first calls the cops on the room for being black.
I feel like it's probably more like she saw early Jenna Marbles and just figured "pshhht .....yeah I can do that, I'm funny" and never let go of trying to copy her content without doing any of the growing up or progressing in content that Jenna did
It's so pathetically evident how much Arbor needs to be seen as a pretty, thin, white blonde woman. If she wasn't constantly defending it and trying to assert her superiority, who would she even be?
10:05 "Period piece with all the stuff we don't like taken out of history." Said by the side that violently screams down and tries to ban "critical race theory" without knowing what it is and cheers on "patriotic education." God, Slime, how could you let that one go unscathed?
She uses the same approach to “comedy” I use when I’m trying to make an infant or a toddler laugh. Move around a lot. Change my vocal inflection randomly. Waive my arms around. Works like charm on the unformed mind.
I've tried so many things to form habits that help me lose weight and the only reason it's starting to shift now is because I have MONEY to buy good foods, and having more money makes me able to handle fitting more things like exercise into my schedule
Yep. It's amazing how, once I got a better job that gave me more disposable income to buy less processed food, allowed me more time to prepare food, and more time to engage in exercise, I lost weight without even really intentionally going on a diet or anything.
I dropped 10/15 pounds after getting slightly more stable than paycheck-to-paycheck. Without making any dietary or exercise related effort. Just like that. Beyond extra weight and into the obesity categories, I've read about so many things like untreated chronic pain or childhood SA being contributory factors. Which makes fat-shaming basically--well, evil.
"She looks like if a police sketch artist was told to draw the name 'Becky'." 😂 Oh shit, that one got me. She is the personification of the middle school queen bee who could never grow up all the way.
@Very Sad i agree with this. not to lionize any bullies, but i was bullied relentlessly from grade 3 to 9 (shocker: for being fat) and all the transmuted and/or quarantined trauma aside i can still laugh at some of the choicer/weirder shit kids came up with and said to me over the years in my thirties. nicole is not a 14 year old riding on high times with the world ahead of her. she is an adult, *pretending* to be a middle school bully-- but lacks any of the actual child-like irreverance and creativity, and has all of the adult insecurity and wistful tryhard-ness. it's not natural to her, she's imitating.
Thought Slime: (makes a video about Nicole Arbor) Me: "wasn't that the 'dear fat people' and ''this is America' feminism parody' lady?" Nicole Arbor: (is now fully right-wing) Me: "oh wow, she got worse"

"It's a problem when people's feelings get hurt." Y'know that honestly might be key ideological sticking point here -- the right doesn't tend to believe it IS inherently bad to hurt people's feelings, in fact their usually tact is to *justify* and *promote* bullying...cause hurting people's feelings is inherently *good* to them; that's the *only* way to push people towards better behavior, after all, hurting them and hoping they respond to the pain.

"Do the wokes not want anyone to win an Oscar?" I mean . . . Do people *not* want to get rid of an awards show that's basically just a "who had the biggest marketing budget" contest?
Usually not, because it reinforces the notion that money equals success equals having worth as a human being. That in turn justifies ideas like that death due to starvation or exposure is fine, because if you don't have money, you can't have worth as a human being in the first place. (It also implicitly justifies wage gaps due to race, gender, ability etc, by using the backwards logic of associating money earned with worth as a person.) Basically the way award shows are structured, they are a big circle jerk aimed at maintaining and reinforcing the status quo.
Not just biggest marketing budget but who's close buddies with the big wigs of the Oscars or had enough disposable funds to grease their palms. The Oscars is little more than a boys club circle jerk. Any attempts at pretending otherwise (without fundamentally changing the structure of the organization from the ground up) is disingenuous.
I remember when she published “dear fat people” during my peak eating disorder days. I’m ashamed Edit: yes I am doing better. I would watch that video to motivate me to starve. The only thing fat shaming does is trigger eating disorders, and I wasn’t even fat at the time.
Seen posts that basically were “my doctor told me my pain was because I was fat and needed to lose weight, turns out I had a tumor” Or something that wasn’t involving their weight and docs just not doing their job
The notion of antagonizing fat people being for ‘the benefit of their health’ fucking infuriates me. There was a time in high school when I lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. I was pale, lethargic, and constantly getting nosebleeds when I never had before, and the only thing I remember people saying to me was ‘oh did you lose weight? You look good!’ If people’s obsession with weight had anything to do with health or went beyond just a way of trying to perpetuate beauty standards then people like Nicole wouldn’t exclusively focus on being overweight
That's part of how Brittany Murphy died. She got really thin over a few years and people just hyper-focused on the drama of someone suddenly getting so skinny, she was never diagnosed for her anemia, and her body couldn't fight off the pneumonia that killed her.
What really bugs me about it is...either the black women in it were truly desperate for money or she didn't tell them it was going to be a racist "parody" of a video (and really good song) about racism.
Thank you so much for neatly and evenly presenting the fat activist talking points and issues. As a fat person living under the poverty line, I am always nervous in leftist spaces because of how my body is demonized as visual shorthand for capitalism/greed. I already knew the talking points you mentioned, but it means a lot to hear them again.
Her "comedy" is so painfully unfunny I'd feel embarrassed for her if I thought she had any capacity for self-reflection. Though I've never actually seen a "Conservative comedian" display any actual wit, creativity, or comic timing (bearing in mind the difference between a "Conservative Comedian" and a comedian that holds conservative views).
"...willpower isn't a muscle that can be built but a resource that can be drained." that hit so good and so hard, thanks Throb Straub (P.S. love your makeup!)
I wonder why she only advocates for fat shaming, why not also shame the skinny, after all being underweight can be as unhealthy as being overweight. Perhaps it would hit a little too close to home for her.
Or shaming racists. Or shaming transphobes. Or shaming Nazis and Nazi apologists. Or... It's because all she does is punch down. Because she is a victim of the just world fallacy.
As a self proclaimed "Fatty Fatty Boom Ballaty", I know the pain of a doctor who dismissed actual health issues just to say "you're fat, so that's the problem". Like, sure, that's a problem I'm trying to fix, but I don't think it's causing pneumonia.
As a former obese person who is working to get healthier: does she think we don’t know we’re fat? Does she think we don’t get the same lecture every time we go to the doctor? You know what finally got me to lose weight? It wasn’t asshats calling me a hippo. It was finding I couldn’t go on a hike without pain. I was already embarrassed to ride on public transportation, having people like her act like that only worsened the emotional issues that led me to abuse food.
Yeah, while she's whining about a fat person hanging over the sides of their plane seat, imagine how that person is feeling knowing people are thinking that about them, hearing every muttered insult, feeling every eye on them as they go about their lives. I know because it happens to me.
[tw ED & weight related illness stuff] This is what I don’t understand like.....do they think we can’t see ourselves? I’ve been both overweight & underweight due to health issues primarily...when I was underweight (as a 13yr old) I was very obviously ill & underweight. Shivering in the summer, fingers & face turning blue, hardly able to stay awake, very obviously looking & acting different than my usual self. No one was concerned for my health then. People (adults!) told me I looked great and asked me my “secret” for losing weight fast. Gain some weight though & all of a sudden everyone in my life is wOrRiEd fOr mE lmao. I want to lose weight because I love myself, because I know deserve to be happy and healthy, to do the things I love without my knees and back hurting. Not because I hate myself. Self hatred is a big part of what got me here in the first place.
Honestly though, those doctors are right. I see a LOT of medical records. 100% of the people I've seen lose a leg to diabetes are quite large. And I, a young healthy person, have paid healthcare premiums that subsidise their cost my entire life. They should be in their own risk pool. People can do what they want. But don't ask me to subsidize it. For example, how likely are you to support people that smoke cigarettes? Or do you see their risky behavior as risky--and don't want to pay their lung cancer bill... If you tell your insurer you smoke, your premiums go up. It's only fair that obesity be treated the same. Health problems associated to obesity have literally been breaking the healthcare system for decades now. I work in cost analysis and do work for 24/25 of the biggest insurance companies in the country.
@@armyofninjas9055 no, your bullshit 'thin man's burden' way of thinking isn't fair. There are tons of factors that go into people's weight besides bad habits, and even then, bad habits come from somewhere. Treating fat people like abominations to be separated from polite society will only make the problem worse. And smoking, similarly, although being purely a bad habit, also has a lot of causes that are not always in the control of the smokers- just like any addiction. If your taxes are going to healthcare, why should you get to pick and choose who gets it? Healthcare is a right, despite the insurance companies you work for trying to make it anything but, and emptying people's wallets as they die. 'how likely are you to support people that smoke cigarettes? Or do you see their risky behavior as risky--and don't want to pay their lung cancer bill...' I'm fine with it, because I don't have the right to judge them, and I don't want them to die. and the people who smoke that i know are well aware of its dangers, and often are in really shitty situations and if they had a better coping mechanism, they'd be doing it. Some were introduced to cigarettes as children by other people. Being able to lose weight and being able to quit smoking are not just things you can decide to do and then accomplish with willpower alone. Like all health, it's an outcome dependent on a lot of factors, most of them situational. The fact that healthcare is still something paid for and that a lot of people can't afford, and not something guranteed to everyone makes these problems worse. Maybe people who smoke or overeat to cope with mental health problems wouldn't need to if they could afford therapy, or if therapy was free.
It's like she binge-watched old Jenna Marbles videos and came away with the impression that it was the accent and the makeup and not like...the jokes...that made Jenna famous

This woman bullied the ... out of her boyfriend 'Matt Santoro'. She literally physically assaulted him. Yes she is the physical manifestation of the word bully.

@@redmaple1982 not to sound like an incel (I know this will come off as incely), but the reason why it was swept under the rug is because Matt is a guy and abuse against men isn't taken seriously.
@@michaelmckeown5396 that isn't an incel thing, and yeah unfortunately people still believe that stuff. It just isn't seen the same way. It's not just guys that downplay it, despite that being the narrative whenever this is brought up. I remember seeing a bit of one of those daytime tv shows (the talk or the view) where they were talking about a teacher sexually assaulting her students, one of the hosts says it's not the same and doesn't damage the boy, and then "jokes" that she wishes she would do that with her sons because an older woman would keep them in line or something. Audience applause, of course. Nobody seems disgusted by this. Kind of a triggering thing for me I guess, I can feel my heart rate going up just thinking about it.
I've never craved fast food. A friend of mine started working the same shift as me and we started getting mcdonalds every week. After a few weeks I started getting cravings, and I had to actively convince myself not to get the food. That's only after a few weeks.
That's something I hate the most from the entire comedian defense of "I have a duty to use comedy to criticize". Okay, but what if your criticisms are factually incorrect? Doing splash damage? Poorly phrased? Offensive humor is *at best* done in a position that prevents a lot of nuance or trust being built, and in such a way that some portion of your audience will actually be turned off to your cutting critique, *even if you're right*. And, as you've pointed out, that's a big, big if. If you're an artist, you have a moral duty, period.
Should we also remember that she had a relationship with another youtuber, Matthew Santoro? She was a terrible person to him all around, using him to get some clout because he was in his hayday at that moment. She ended up doing a lot of gaslighting and in the end, she (edit: Allegedly) hit him. When he went out and let people know, she responded challenging him to a polygraph test. A POLYGRAPH TEST! So, it kinda shows exactly what person she is and why she holds these ideas near and dear.
There are all these people who think they are funny because they bully people in high school. They grow up and still think it’s funny, and sadly they always find an audience
It should also be noted that there is evidence that how you eat over the course of a day can impact your resting metabolic rate, and uh. If you work a full time job, you can't exactly have five small meals spread across the entire day.
I have the kind where you can easily work close (or over) 12 hours a day, and up to 60 hours a week. Few of my coworkers actually fall into a healthy weight, with post people either being over and a few under, because it's hard to eat at regular times, so everyone is has to do an entire day's worth of eating at once. This is also compounded by the fact that the only food you're really able to order within our half hour lunch break is either a packaged meal or fast food. There are days at a time when I get up, go to work, and go to bed immediately after. Meal prep literally isn't feasible.

@@emptyblank099a Ok, let's be clear about one thing : shaming fat people has nothing to do with asking them to lose weight, as Nicole proves herself, she doesn't give a shit about somebody else's health, and she doesn't give a shit about starving children in Africa, it's about demanding they get out of your sight because they're "disgusting".
@@emptyblank099a well in as much as trying to shame people into losing weight hjas an effect, the effect it has is to lower their standard of living... so it fits 'ruin their lives'... but ofc no, that's a false equivalence. being fat is not a fucking choice (often) being a racist or some other form of bully IS (always).

@mars5012005 my favorite genre of comedian are the older dudes complaining about college kids not laughing at terrible jokes as if it’s their job. No, if the audience didn’t laugh it’s your fault.
@Lex Bright Raven Yeah, it is hilarious to seek Brooks and Carlin invoked by people who not only don't have their talents but also don't recognize what they were really doing. Want to be as good as Brooks and Carlin? Do that. Be truly thoughtful, and careful, and subversive. This is the response to folks like Bill Burr who is thoughtful but wonders why leftists are supposedly so thin-skinned. Look at shows like It's Always Sunny. I find them hilarious despite being dark and coming close to the line because what they scrupulously do is focus on the main characters being awful and evil, and never on framing attacks on any groups. They don't need to. Because they did something subversive. That just happened to be about making themselves the clowns.
Oh god I just remembered her. Even when I was an Anti-SJW reactionary (for my sins), I remember still absolutely despising her, and especially her "dear fat people" video.

@@Robstafarian I mean, Trump's intent was crypto-fascist, and they were stanning for past white supremacy, but I don't know how fair it is to fully put it in that box unless you only mean institutional white supremacy and not the overt ideology.

Like, yeah, I too would like to not have to talk about racism anymore, guys. I too would like to be able to move forward. But educating people is important, and more importantly, you conservatives fucked up fixing the past, so we have to face it again today because intergenerational problems don't go away by default.
@@fredericchristie3472 Trump's 1776 Commission was an effort to make white-supremacist propaganda a national institution, much like it has been at various points in US history. The difference is, or should be, that many of the old lies are understood to be just that. For example, said commission's report included the same old lies about Martin Luther King Junior's "moderate" position which every college student (preferably every junior-high-school student, but that is not the education system we have) should be able to identify.
@@Robstafarian Again, do you mean "white supremacist" as in "neo-Nazi", or "white supremacist" as in "institutionally defending a status quo where whites happen to be on top because of historical and ongoing factors, using revisionism and disingenuous scholarship"? Because the first accusation takes a lot more than the second to defend. Your example of the MLK rebranded as moderate is *not* an example of neo-Nazi Agitprop, for example. That would be them trying to claim that King was a Marxist cheater plagiarizer who wanted Stalinism and so should not be viewed as a secular saint. Trust me, the actual Nazis don't take kindly to King, even though they know openly trashing King is a very good way of making even moderate conservatives despise you. Indeed, that whole "MLK wanted peace and love and harmony and kids not in gangs and pacifism" mythology is propagated even by well-meaning *liberals* and moderate progressives, who in no universe can be called white supremacist in the neo-Nazi sense. Saying, for example, that America was committed to democracy, eventually eliminated its own slavery, etc. is not white supremacist in the sense of neo-Nazi or neo-Confederate. It's not even necessarily wrong, just selective and incomplete. That's how the intro of the 1776 Commission frames the issue. Meanwhile, saying that the Civil War was about state's rights or trying to downplay the evil of the Confederacy ("it's the rebel flag", etc.) *is* outright white supremacist propaganda in the sense of overt ideology. because it rhetorically erases black (and native and female and...) voices and stans for a past white supremacist polity. The problem is that using the term "white supremacist" inherently makes most people think of the use in terms of overt ideology. "Institutional racism" is a better choice, IMHO, because it's less likely to miscommunicate.
i'm both fat AND disabled, and none of my disabilities at all have to do with my weight. my back problems have always oddly enough gotten worse when i've had moments where i've LOST weight, which is how i know i'm losing weight now because my back hurts like hell.
Holy shit, that sucks. My sympathies. I'm fat and also have back problems, but I believe mine started with my weight and were made worse due to a car accident. I'm fat mostly because my hormones have always been messed up and I get exertion migraines, so I've never enjoyed any kind of exercise, to the point that I just avoid doing pretty much anything now, and I'm terribly unfit. But at least when I randomly lose weight, it doesn't make my back worse.
my scoliosis+lordosis is probably the only reason i maintain a healthy (albeit low-end of the range) bmi, because it will absolutely let me know i am gaining weight, even a 2-3kilo difference is the difference between ignorable but consistent back ache and feeling like my lower back has been wrung over an old manual clothes washing rack constantly. for losing weight it is possibly that the process makes you lose disproportionately, instead of the weight being spread out? it may also be because you are losing muscle before fat (muscle goes first for people purely losing weight without exercise to maintain existing muscle) which would provide less support. if it is the latter, and it is possible and you don't already exercise, exercise can certainly help, especially core exercises that you can manage (crunches are killer on scoliosis/lordosis tho just a warning) to maintain existing muscle, as working that muscle will make it prioritised enough to not be sapped in loss. (i do not want to pry and hope i'm not being condescending, but wanted to offer help; nutrition and health related is my special interest, and you seemed at a loss for why that may be.) that sounds truly terrible though and i hope it gets better and easier for you!
I’m fat BECAUSE I’m disabled, not the other way around. No matter how much I seem to explain that, doctors just say I should lose weight. Right, yes, the crooked spine and chronic illness since birth and PTSD is because I don’t eat enough salads or lift enough weights.
1. Fun fact: currently biologist suspect that COVID-19 came from some bat cave somewhere southwest of China (Origin and cross-species transmission of bat coronaviruses in China). China was just the center of the outbreak. 2. If fascists think that fat shaming is good because "it helps fat people", then why doesn't racist shaming (a.k.a. criticism) isn't good for helping racists?

She seems so confused- does she think she is at a middle school rap battle take down? Comedy is rarely just, yknow, mindlessly ranting at the usual targets of bullies. I cringe as Im watching her clips... not due to the malicious nature of her content (despite being one of her targets) oh no... I'm actually literally covering my eyes for shame ON HER BEHALF because she is SO shockingly devoid of talent, timing, humor or skill, its EMBARRASSING TO WATCH a grown ass woman in her 30s aggressively display what a talentless hack she is, by literally just ranting like a hyperbolic high school bully except, thats not fair to HS bullies, who are sometimes actually clever in how they insult others.
While conservatism doesnt lend itself to comedy objectively, this tripe rates orders of magnitude *below* even the usual mediocre shit contwits produce. Embarrassing to watch her so aggressively display her dearth of creativity, cleverness or comedy, with the earnestness of a middle school mean girl. I mean, even putting politics aside, how embarassing for this to be on the permanant record of one's web prescence, even if you are a conservative. She certainly isn't doing them any favors. I imagine they only tolerate her for her value as a sex object to them (the alt right doesnt really lend itself to young available women either, since theyre explicitly pro- sexual-assault...wonder how long she'll be laughing about that topic). She is certainly no comedian, she's not even coherent enough to be a right wing pundit (and that's saying alot).

What's wild to me is that she thinks any sort of shaming works when she's clear evidence it absolutely doesn't work at all. Because if it did she would never post again and maybe consider becoming a better person.
Like most conservative things, it’s not about whether it works. The cruelty is the point
She is also proof positive of their hypocrisy. It is okay to fat shame but elitist and rude and awful to call groups of people racist, ignorant, dishonest, science illiterate, sexist, fascist, etc. even though shaming them may actually also work. Of course, there is debate over what these things are, but then again, there's debate about what constitutes fat and disabled and harmful, and she doesn't care about that.
But it makes sense if they think that being fat is actually worse than being racist, homophobic or sexist.
Which is what they actually think. And don't usually have the courage to say.
I just heard her "Shame people who have bad habits until they fucking stop".... and said well there goes their nonsense cancel culture narrative right there....

When my dad died, I dropped out of college, and spent the next year rethinking my life and losing nearly 100 pounds. it turned out that losing weight wasn't that hard when I had control over my environment, and no external stressors sapping my time and will power. A person's weight really has little bearing on their "moral character".
Yep. Imbalanced cortisol levels (stress hormone) make weight regulation harder.
Yeah, I was able to lose weight at a time in my life when I was mentally healthy. Unfortunately that time passed and I ended up much heavier than before.
& even if my eating those cupcakes is a moral failing & being fat is a lack of self control & that's the worst thing anyone can say about me, I'm entirely ok with that.
I gained a lot of weight over the pandemic but being constantly at home eventually made me realize I needed to seek help for my mental health issues. Once I started on my meds and counseling I’ve been extremely inspired to go to the gym and get healthy. I think another large part of it is mental health resources. My entire family is obese and one trend I’ve noticed is the ones who are fat in my family have a lot of untreated mental health disorders. Not saying everyone who is over weight is depressed but for a lot of people I think that could be a reason why
for a second there i got worried you lost weight because your losses gave you clinical depression :s
I love how her metaphor of a truth bomb sending shrapnel into your soul to somehow heal it. Heal your soul? That's not how shrapnel works. That's not what a bomb does to people.

Being unbelievably wrong and abnoxious to the point that you want to reach through the screen to throttle her are also key points. The one I remember her most from her is her video on depression, in which she seems to think that depression can be solved by “just doing something fun with friends” and that it’s all your fault, all in your head and all due to your attitude. You know, the type of “advice” that will make depressed people feel sooooo much better and more hopeful.

Her idea of a "woke period piece" is a period piece with "all the stuff from history that we don't like taken out"??? That actually stunned me. Period pieces frequently white wash and romanticize the past, and that's never considered "woke".
Yeah the knots you have to twist yourself up in to come to the conclusion that she has in that bit is dizzying.
She just saw how they pulled Gone With The Wind from Paramount Plus for like a month and decided that was our new agenda
I assumed it was some sort of reference to how people want to destroy statues of villains and conservatives are always like "but that's history, you can't just take the bad stuff out of history"
Except... nobody does that. Oscar winning period pieces don't pretend that, say, nazis and slavery didn't exist

I've tried so many things to form habits that help me lose weight and the only reason it's starting to shift now is because I have MONEY to buy good foods, and having more money makes me able to handle fitting more things like exercise into my schedule
I needed this xc
Yep. It's amazing how, once I got a better job that gave me more disposable income to buy less processed food, allowed me more time to prepare food, and more time to engage in exercise, I lost weight without even really intentionally going on a diet or anything.
I dropped 10/15 pounds after getting slightly more stable than paycheck-to-paycheck. Without making any dietary or exercise related effort. Just like that.
Beyond extra weight and into the obesity categories, I've read about so many things like untreated chronic pain or childhood SA being contributory factors. Which makes fat-shaming basically--well, evil.
"She looks like if a police sketch artist was told to draw the name 'Becky'." 😂 Oh shit, that one got me. She is the personification of the middle school queen bee who could never grow up all the way.
@Very Sad i agree with this. not to lionize any bullies, but i was bullied relentlessly from grade 3 to 9 (shocker: for being fat) and all the transmuted and/or quarantined trauma aside i can still laugh at some of the choicer/weirder shit kids came up with and said to me over the years in my thirties. nicole is not a 14 year old riding on high times with the world ahead of her. she is an adult, *pretending* to be a middle school bully-- but lacks any of the actual child-like irreverance and creativity, and has all of the adult insecurity and wistful tryhard-ness. it's not natural to her, she's imitating.

"Do the wokes not want anyone to win an Oscar?"
I mean . . . Do people *not* want to get rid of an awards show that's basically just a "who had the biggest marketing budget" contest?
Usually not, because it reinforces the notion that money equals success equals having worth as a human being. That in turn justifies ideas like that death due to starvation or exposure is fine, because if you don't have money, you can't have worth as a human being in the first place. (It also implicitly justifies wage gaps due to race, gender, ability etc, by using the backwards logic of associating money earned with worth as a person.)
Basically the way award shows are structured, they are a big circle jerk aimed at maintaining and reinforcing the status quo.
Not just biggest marketing budget but who's close buddies with the big wigs of the Oscars or had enough disposable funds to grease their palms.

Nicole Arbor is to Jenna Marbles what Ben Garrison is to the Onion's Ironic cartoonist guy.
Seen posts that basically were “my doctor told me my pain was because I was fat and needed to lose weight, turns out I had a tumor”
Or something that wasn’t involving their weight and docs just not doing their job
The notion of antagonizing fat people being for ‘the benefit of their health’ fucking infuriates me. There was a time in high school when I lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. I was pale, lethargic, and constantly getting nosebleeds when I never had before, and the only thing I remember people saying to me was ‘oh did you lose weight? You look good!’ If people’s obsession with weight had anything to do with health or went beyond just a way of trying to perpetuate beauty standards then people like Nicole wouldn’t exclusively focus on being overweight
That's part of how Brittany Murphy died. She got really thin over a few years and people just hyper-focused on the drama of someone suddenly getting so skinny, she was never diagnosed for her anemia, and her body couldn't fight off the pneumonia that killed her.

You know what finally got me to lose weight? It wasn’t asshats calling me a hippo. It was finding I couldn’t go on a hike without pain. I was already embarrassed to ride on public transportation, having people like her act like that only worsened the emotional issues that led me to abuse food.
Yeah, while she's whining about a fat person hanging over the sides of their plane seat, imagine how that person is feeling knowing people are thinking that about them, hearing every muttered insult, feeling every eye on them as they go about their lives. I know because it happens to me.
[tw ED & weight related illness stuff]
This is what I don’t understand like.....do they think we can’t see ourselves? I’ve been both overweight & underweight due to health issues primarily...when I was underweight (as a 13yr old) I was very obviously ill & underweight. Shivering in the summer, fingers & face turning blue, hardly able to stay awake, very obviously looking & acting different than my usual self. No one was concerned for my health then. People (adults!) told me I looked great and asked me my “secret” for losing weight fast. Gain some weight though & all of a sudden everyone in my life is wOrRiEd fOr mE lmao. I want to lose weight because I love myself, because I know deserve to be happy and healthy, to do the things I love without my knees and back hurting. Not because I hate myself. Self hatred is a big part of what got me here in the first place.
Honestly though, those doctors are right. I see a LOT of medical records. 100% of the people I've seen lose a leg to diabetes are quite large. And I, a young healthy person, have paid healthcare premiums that subsidise their cost my entire life. They should be in their own risk pool.
People can do what they want. But don't ask me to subsidize it. For example, how likely are you to support people that smoke cigarettes? Or do you see their risky behavior as risky--and don't want to pay their lung cancer bill...
If you tell your insurer you smoke, your premiums go up. It's only fair that obesity be treated the same. Health problems associated to obesity have literally been breaking the healthcare system for decades now. I work in cost analysis and do work for 24/25 of the biggest insurance companies in the country.
@@armyofninjas9055 no, your bullshit 'thin man's burden' way of thinking isn't fair. There are tons of factors that go into people's weight besides bad habits, and even then, bad habits come from somewhere. Treating fat people like abominations to be separated from polite society will only make the problem worse. And smoking, similarly, although being purely a bad habit, also has a lot of causes that are not always in the control of the smokers- just like any addiction.
If your taxes are going to healthcare, why should you get to pick and choose who gets it? Healthcare is a right, despite the insurance companies you work for trying to make it anything but, and emptying people's wallets as they die.
'how likely are you to support people that smoke cigarettes? Or do you see their risky behavior as risky--and don't want to pay their lung cancer bill...' I'm fine with it, because I don't have the right to judge them, and I don't want them to die. and the people who smoke that i know are well aware of its dangers, and often are in really shitty situations and if they had a better coping mechanism, they'd be doing it. Some were introduced to cigarettes as children by other people. Being able to lose weight and being able to quit smoking are not just things you can decide to do and then accomplish with willpower alone. Like all health, it's an outcome dependent on a lot of factors, most of them situational. The fact that healthcare is still something paid for and that a lot of people can't afford, and not something guranteed to everyone makes these problems worse. Maybe people who smoke or overeat to cope with mental health problems wouldn't need to if they could afford therapy, or if therapy was free.

It's like she binge-watched old Jenna Marbles videos and came away with the impression that it was the accent and the makeup and not like...the jokes...that made Jenna famous
I was just thinking that’s she’s like an unfunny conservative knockoff version of Jenna’s old videos
When you referenced Jenna's accent and makeup I automatically assumed you meant her blaccent/blackface videos so yeah she probably was inspired by her

This woman bullied the ... out of her boyfriend 'Matt Santoro'. She literally physically assaulted him. Yes she is the physical manifestation of the word bully.
Wait, the "50 Amazing Facts To Blow Your Mind" guy? Man, that sucks. (I mean it would suck even if her boyfriend wasn't a youtuber but you know what I mean)
@@lavernebennet7395 Yep
I found out about Nicole Arbour from her abusing Matthew Santoro
Kind of weird how that was swept under the rug
I've never heard about her before this video and i feel like I'm better off
@@redmaple1982 not to sound like an incel (I know this will come off as incely), but the reason why it was swept under the rug is because Matt is a guy and abuse against men isn't taken seriously.
@@michaelmckeown5396 that isn't an incel thing, and yeah unfortunately people still believe that stuff. It just isn't seen the same way.
It's not just guys that downplay it, despite that being the narrative whenever this is brought up. I remember seeing a bit of one of those daytime tv shows (the talk or the view) where they were talking about a teacher sexually assaulting her students, one of the hosts says it's not the same and doesn't damage the boy, and then "jokes" that she wishes she would do that with her sons because an older woman would keep them in line or something.
Audience applause, of course. Nobody seems disgusted by this.
Kind of a triggering thing for me I guess, I can feel my heart rate going up just thinking about it.
It's just weird that she was accepted into the Candace Owen's fold with that kind of background

It's a damn shame that so many stand ups decided they were going to be edgy truth tellers despite not actually knowing anything.
That's something I hate the most from the entire comedian defense of "I have a duty to use comedy to criticize". Okay, but what if your criticisms are factually incorrect? Doing splash damage? Poorly phrased? Offensive humor is *at best* done in a position that prevents a lot of nuance or trust being built, and in such a way that some portion of your audience will actually be turned off to your cutting critique, *even if you're right*. And, as you've pointed out, that's a big, big if.
If you're an artist, you have a moral duty, period.
Should we also remember that she had a relationship with another youtuber, Matthew Santoro? She was a terrible person to him all around, using him to get some clout because he was in his hayday at that moment. She ended up doing a lot of gaslighting and in the end, she (edit: Allegedly) hit him. When he went out and let people know, she responded challenging him to a polygraph test. A POLYGRAPH TEST! So, it kinda shows exactly what person she is and why she holds these ideas near and dear.
oh, thats why her name sounds familiar.
@@biddyfox I think that's one of the two things anyone knows her for aside from dear fat people
There are all these people who think they are funny because they bully people in high school. They grow up and still think it’s funny, and sadly they always find an audience
"Nicole Arbour calls the police when she sees black coffee" actually made me laugh out loud, cheers
"willpower isn't necessarily a muscle to be build, but a resource to be exhausted" beautiful
It should also be noted that there is evidence that how you eat over the course of a day can impact your resting metabolic rate, and uh. If you work a full time job, you can't exactly have five small meals spread across the entire day.
Just another thing that capitalism makes harder for you. It's always capitalism in the end, mates.
I have the kind where you can easily work close (or over) 12 hours a day, and up to 60 hours a week. Few of my coworkers actually fall into a healthy weight, with post people either being over and a few under, because it's hard to eat at regular times, so everyone is has to do an entire day's worth of eating at once. This is also compounded by the fact that the only food you're really able to order within our half hour lunch break is either a packaged meal or fast food. There are days at a time when I get up, go to work, and go to bed immediately after. Meal prep literally isn't feasible.
@@lucasduque8289 Having a job isn't just a capitalism thing...
@@JS-po8oc no, but having one in which you can't even afford to eat healthily or the way you want because you can't stop working is.
@@lucasduque8289 Well not entirely, in a communism for example your freedom to eat things that are considered bourgeois or that are particularly expensive to eat or make would probably not exist.

She's trying so hard to be offensive but the only thing that's upsetting me is the lack of effort she puts in to her sketches. If you're doing a fake Oscar ceremony, green screen yourself on to a stage at least.

“Conservative discourse” seems to be a random vomiting of buzzwords.
Pretty much!
yep, if they could do 'joined-up thinking' they wouldn't be conservatives.
You're acting on the assumption that there is one. There isn't, and there can't be. The whole point of conservatism is to keep people from questioning their ingrained biases.
@@MrPiccoloku you seem to be using a pretty specific version of what 'discourse' means... that's not all the word means in english.
also i'm not so convinced it's a matter of being intended that way, or whether it's just an outcome of a lack of questioning & i'd be interested to hear how you came to the conclusion it's that way?
"Lets shame people into doing good things" said the person who complains about being canceled.
Isn't canceling people trying to ruin they career or lives? Is that the same as shaming someone into losing weight?
@@emptyblank099a Ok, let's be clear about one thing : shaming fat people has nothing to do with asking them to lose weight, as Nicole proves herself, she doesn't give a shit about somebody else's health, and she doesn't give a shit about starving children in Africa, it's about demanding they get out of your sight because they're "disgusting".
@@emptyblank099a well in as much as trying to shame people into losing weight hjas an effect, the effect it has is to lower their standard of living... so it fits 'ruin their lives'...
but ofc no, that's a false equivalence. being fat is not a fucking choice (often) being a racist or some other form of bully IS (always).
Matt kind of winking to the camera and saying
"I think cantaloupes are good, but you should only eat the inside part of the melon" was funnier than anything I've ever heard from Nicole Arbour, fr fr.
“Like confetti at an EDM concert”- someone who’s never been to a rave in their entire life. And yes this is what I feel is most important to correct.
The right wing has no shortage of unfunny comedians.
@mars5012005 my favorite genre of comedian are the older dudes complaining about college kids not laughing at terrible jokes as if it’s their job. No, if the audience didn’t laugh it’s your fault.
@Lex Bright Raven Yeah, it is hilarious to seek Brooks and Carlin invoked by people who not only don't have their talents but also don't recognize what they were really doing. Want to be as good as Brooks and Carlin? Do that. Be truly thoughtful, and careful, and subversive.
This is the response to folks like Bill Burr who is thoughtful but wonders why leftists are supposedly so thin-skinned. Look at shows like It's Always Sunny. I find them hilarious despite being dark and coming close to the line because what they scrupulously do is focus on the main characters being awful and evil, and never on framing attacks on any groups. They don't need to. Because they did something subversive. That just happened to be about making themselves the clowns.

It's a good thing Kidman left Tom Cruise then
IIRC, she was a bully to a certain UA-camr she used to date and he seems to still have a bit of trauma going on from it. Why she is still relevant is beyond me.
I feel like conservative comedian is just a content warning in of itself, like we know what to expect.
Nicole Arbor gets up on stage at an open mic night, pulls out a placard w content warnings, and walks off stage to thunderous applause
@@noalowenstein6741 Yeah, but it's the "Nicole Arbor walks off the stage" that gets the applause, not even the content warning sign. :)
What's so great about conservatives is how they always whinge about "politics" in media and yet their "comedy" is literally nothing but politics.
I love how in the award bit she mentions "all the bad stuff being taken out of history" when white washing and lying about how shit when down is quite clearly a conservative thing in this context.
You know, like the opposition to the 1619 Project, expressly on the grounds for many that it's divisive to bring up facts?
@@fredericchristie3472 I have my copy of Trump's 1776 Commission's final report filed under "white supremacy".
@@Robstafarian I mean, Trump's intent was crypto-fascist, and they were stanning for past white supremacy, but I don't know how fair it is to fully put it in that box unless you only mean institutional white supremacy and not the overt ideology. I'd have to read beyond the first few pages again, but it seems they were just being more of the catty, selectively pedantic work that engages in bad faith with mainstream scholarship they don't like from a perspective that I grok a little even if it's counter-productive. Like, yeah, I too would like to not have to talk about racism anymore, guys. I too would like to be able to move forward. But educating people is important, and more importantly, you conservatives fucked up fixing the past, so we have to face it again today because intergenerational problems don't go away by default.
@@fredericchristie3472 Trump's 1776 Commission was an effort to make white-supremacist propaganda a national institution, much like it has been at various points in US history. The difference is, or should be, that many of the old lies are understood to be just that. For example, said commission's report included the same old lies about Martin Luther King Junior's "moderate" position which every college student (preferably every junior-high-school student, but that is not the education system we have) should be able to identify.
@@Robstafarian Again, do you mean "white supremacist" as in "neo-Nazi", or "white supremacist" as in "institutionally defending a status quo where whites happen to be on top because of historical and ongoing factors, using revisionism and disingenuous scholarship"? Because the first accusation takes a lot more than the second to defend. Your example of the MLK rebranded as moderate is *not* an example of neo-Nazi Agitprop, for example. That would be them trying to claim that King was a Marxist cheater plagiarizer who wanted Stalinism and so should not be viewed as a secular saint. Trust me, the actual Nazis don't take kindly to King, even though they know openly trashing King is a very good way of making even moderate conservatives despise you. Indeed, that whole "MLK wanted peace and love and harmony and kids not in gangs and pacifism" mythology is propagated even by well-meaning *liberals* and moderate progressives, who in no universe can be called white supremacist in the neo-Nazi sense.
Saying, for example, that America was committed to democracy, eventually eliminated its own slavery, etc. is not white supremacist in the sense of neo-Nazi or neo-Confederate. It's not even necessarily wrong, just selective and incomplete. That's how the intro of the 1776 Commission frames the issue.
Meanwhile, saying that the Civil War was about state's rights or trying to downplay the evil of the Confederacy ("it's the rebel flag", etc.) *is* outright white supremacist propaganda in the sense of overt ideology. because it rhetorically erases black (and native and female and...) voices and stans for a past white supremacist polity.
The problem is that using the term "white supremacist" inherently makes most people think of the use in terms of overt ideology. "Institutional racism" is a better choice, IMHO, because it's less likely to miscommunicate.
i'm both fat AND disabled, and none of my disabilities at all have to do with my weight. my back problems have always oddly enough gotten worse when i've had moments where i've LOST weight, which is how i know i'm losing weight now because my back hurts like hell.
Holy shit, that sucks. My sympathies. I'm fat and also have back problems, but I believe mine started with my weight and were made worse due to a car accident. I'm fat mostly because my hormones have always been messed up and I get exertion migraines, so I've never enjoyed any kind of exercise, to the point that I just avoid doing pretty much anything now, and I'm terribly unfit. But at least when I randomly lose weight, it doesn't make my back worse.
my scoliosis+lordosis is probably the only reason i maintain a healthy (albeit low-end of the range) bmi, because it will absolutely let me know i am gaining weight, even a 2-3kilo difference is the difference between ignorable but consistent back ache and feeling like my lower back has been wrung over an old manual clothes washing rack constantly.
for losing weight it is possibly that the process makes you lose disproportionately, instead of the weight being spread out? it may also be because you are losing muscle before fat (muscle goes first for people purely losing weight without exercise to maintain existing muscle) which would provide less support. if it is the latter, and it is possible and you don't already exercise, exercise can certainly help, especially core exercises that you can manage (crunches are killer on scoliosis/lordosis tho just a warning) to maintain existing muscle, as working that muscle will make it prioritised enough to not be sapped in loss. (i do not want to pry and hope i'm not being condescending, but wanted to offer help; nutrition and health related is my special interest, and you seemed at a loss for why that may be.)
that sounds truly terrible though and i hope it gets better and easier for you!
I’m fat BECAUSE I’m disabled, not the other way around. No matter how much I seem to explain that, doctors just say I should lose weight. Right, yes, the crooked spine and chronic illness since birth and PTSD is because I don’t eat enough salads or lift enough weights.
1. Fun fact: currently biologist suspect that COVID-19 came from some bat cave somewhere southwest of China (Origin and cross-species transmission of bat coronaviruses in China). China was just the center of the outbreak.
