      Honestly 😭😭 like I would NEVER do ANYTHING to make someone uncomfortable like I am very sexually open with people who tell me it’s okay! I don’t even let it get to the point where they have to tell me they’re uncomfortable because I always ask before I mention something sexual (unless I know they’re comfy with it). Sucks she’s weaponizing sexually open behavior to justify literal harassment 😕

      it is really weird but i do understand it. Unfortunately sexual harassment isn’t very uncommon. people are used to hearing horrific stories of sexual abuse. I think the reason people are talking about the fat shaming is bc she made her whole brand around body positivity so the hypocrisy of it was extra shocking. I definitely agree that the sexual harassment is wayyyyy more disgusting and deserves more of the focus tho

    • @hehehehe9737

      I think its because Lizzo whole brand is being a plus size women and she embraces that. She is building her legacy on her weight moreso her talent. While she can sing, a lot of the support comes from her not fitting the beauty standards. So when the news broke that she is "fatophoic" it was a slap in the face because she preaches so much about having a safe space for them. The sexual harassment thing didnt really surprise me because Lizzo has an issue of when to be appropriate.

    1:57 The problem is also that the nude DANCER said no. She did not consent or want to be touched that way so she forced her employees to sexually assault another person.
    7:44 She made them re-audition for their jobs again as punishment because she said they were all doing poorly and they could not eat or use the bathroom for 12 hours. That is disgustingly inhumane. If every single professional dancer is terrible to you, the problem is you, not them.

    With the Lizzo and Colleen Ballinger conversations going on, I'm hoping that people start understanding that Sexual Abuse doesn't necessarily mean a predator wants to have sex with the victim.
    Sexual abuse is about power. Having inappropriate sexual conversations with kids and forcing employees to participate in sexual acts are both abuses of power, and in both cases, examples of using sex as the weapon.
    If you feel uncomfortable in a conversation, you do not have to participate in that conversation. It doesn't matter if it's a friend or an online acquaintance, you are not less cool for keeping a boundary.

      Yes. There's a whole realm of psychosexual behavior that doesn't necessarily translate to wanting to have sex with, or even touch, the "participants" or "victims", depending on whether those people A. Know exactly what's going on and B. Still consent.
      If I put you in a video and threw apples at you, I was really excited to do it and you were like ok it's art that's fine but later found out apple throwing was my fetish and I JOed to the video and had been conning people into that situation for years you'd probably feel violated whereas without knowing that or intuiting that, without the context, you'd be fine with the apples. Like how in retrospect Schneider was clearly doing foot fetish videos with tweens and calling it ICarly, and most people incl myself were just like oh it's a wacky kids show they're just being wacky

That would come to a legal definition which would vary by state etc. She was definitely creeping with creep intent.

    Bro, there is a HUGE difference between being comfortable with your sexuality and being comfortable with sexually harassing your employees. It’s disgusting how her platform is built on how fatphobia shouldn’t be a thing, and that you can be healthy and big, but she has reportedly been fatphobic in the past to her employees. The fact that Lizzo not only excused this behavior, she made herself the victim. She didn’t even make an attempt to apologize. This is just so revolting.

    • @rita8274
      @rita8274 Рік тому +68

      TBH This tells me she's not comfortable with her sexuality because she's forcing others to conform to her idea of what is and isn't okay. Being comfortable in your sexuality is like a man being comfortable with his masculinity,. If someone else not doing exactly what they deem is the correct way and it makes them upset... their confidence and comfortability within themselves is very fragile and basically nonexistent. I'm extremely comfortable in my sexuality and I know someone around 27 who just recently lost her V card. She said she was surprised that when we first met and she was a V I was so chill/didn't make any weird comments like other people have (especially since I'm very sex positive). I told her that's her journey, her sexuality and no one should have anything to say negative about it if she's not purposefully hurting herself or others. It's sad who Lizzo is and I hope she gets therapy/arrested since it seems that all of these allegations have proof.

    I completely agree with your views on fat acceptance. I'm a doctor and I can't say it's healthy to be obese. But I don't think health is the point. Why do we moralise health? So many people are unhealthy in different ways and fat-phobes use "unhealthy" as a euphemism for "unappealing". No matter how healthy or unhealthy someone is - no one should be bullied or called out about their bodies. Let people live. Fat people know they're fat, they don't need you to tell them.

    This is so disappointing to me. As both a survivor of sexual assault and someone whose fat and has struggled with body image issues, this made me feel so sick. I loved Lizzo- her music made me happy and got me hyped through college (especially during competition season for debate). But this? There is not “explaining away” or “apologizing” to “fix” sexual harassment and assault. The fatphobia makes me sad, but doesn’t quite surprise me, as I also struggle with (albeit internalized) fatphobia- but treating dancers and EMPLOYEES LIKE THIS?!? Absolutely awful. Accountability and Just Action needs to be taken.

    For guys who would like to know if this is our common girls night... Never in my life I met a girl who wanted to have THAT kind of fun. Not even if we were totally wasted. The most crazy thing I was part of was trying sexy clothes while drunk (and even after that all of us promised to never talk about this. And that was the first and last time something like that happened :D ). All the other times we were playing games, dancing or singing karaoke.
    Lizo obviously wanted to be inappropriate and didn't want to be the only one. So she pressured all the others (kind of like when alcoholics want to drink and don't want to be the only one drinking). Which is definitely selfish. I get that she was ashamed of being the only one going crazy, but you don't pressure your friends (not to mention your employees) to even play chess if they don't want to.

Claims she's "open with her sexuality", which has no importance in the situation. Even so, your openness about your sexuality doesn't give you the power to make people touch nude body parts for a fun night out with employees.

No one should be forced or pressured into visiting places like strip clubs, having sex talk in the workplace, or other acts that are sexual in nature but not necessarily having sex. There's a way to be sex positive/open about your sexuality without being predatory or violating someone. Clearly, Lizzo and others like her don't understand boundaries and tend to blur the lines.

      I have stuttered since I was 10 years old, it's mild to severe. I learned early on that I was less than others because of my stuttering. kids bullied me relentlessly (though my stuttering wasn't the only reason they hated me, I also had undiagnosed autism and severe OCD) and constantly mocked me when I had to speak in class. Even though my one friend tried to tell them to stop and said that I can't help it, they didn't really care. But I'm still grateful for her for standing up for me. I still feel extremely embarrassed when I stutter, and in a situation with a person I do not know or know only a little, I try to answer with only one word replies. The fear that someone will mock me or laugh at me is still there, even at the age of 36. (Sorry for any possible Spelling errors, English isn't my mother language)

      It makes alot of sense to be supportive and make the client feel safe as I know stress/anxiety can often make the stutter worse so if they feel more comfortable they won't stutter as much from the anxiety.

    To explain the audition piece a little: In the dance world auditions are usually 2-6 hours and are high pressure experiences. The number of dancers who "make it" is very small, and you are reminded of that constantly as a dancer. You are forced to perform in that moment and your performance determines whether you are hired and get paid for a year, or you go back to working your barista job hustling for your next oppurtunity. Lizzo allegedly had this 12 hour audition (which is a grueling amount of time to be excercising at maximum physical output) after the dancers had already been hired, and allegedly created such a fear based culture that dancers were wetting their pants for fear of being "cut," We dont hear of other artists treating their backup dancers like this. The ways Lizzo has allegedly behaved are incredibly abusive and exploitative of her power in the situation.

As a doctor I don't want to lie and say obesity can be healthy when I see it kill people frequently, I also don't want to feel like I'm promoting fat phobia because we've decided that bullying fat people is okay if they're not healthy.

      The point of this conversation is that the response of “I work out and eat healthy” is playing into this determination, when there shouldn’t be any comments on people’s weight because it’s no one else’s business.

    Lizzo is the last person I’d expect to be doing this. And thanks for saying that Eastern European accents are nice! My mom is from Ukraine and she has an accent, and a lot of times those old Karen’s will be rude to her about it or treat her differently than other people.

    to me the fat shaming is just her letting her jealousy show, like no way you’re telling a big person that’s smaller than you that she’s gaining too much weight?? literally hypocrisy at its finest. i’m not even surprised abt the sexual assault since she been over sexualizing anyone she’s ever laid eyes on since she started out.

    It’s crazy how other’s will be like “how dare she fat shame them” and then go out of their way to fat shame her when they could shame her for all the bad things she’s done instead

    10:20 Unrelated to most of the video but thank you SO much for that point. We're at a point where it's so common to ridicule fat people (or really just anyone who isn't skinny) and call out their poor health, whether they are actually unhealthy or not, and then it's under the guise of "oh we're just concerned for your wellbeing, it's important to be healthy" like... that is so bizarre to me. Yes, it's obviously important to be healthy, but not everyone is. So what?? So what if someone doesn't eat healthy? So what if someone doesn't exercise? So what if someone is lazy? Do you know them personally? Are you their doctor? Are you personally being affected by a stranger online eating a cheeseburger instead of a salad? No? Then it's not your business. And if you really are that bothered by an unhealthy person existing, just don't interact with them? Their existence is not for you. Some people are just unhealthy, and it doesn't make them less deserving of love or respect. I never comment on someone's health unless it's someone I know irl and someone I care deeply about and am concerned for, and even then I rarely do it because health is a very personal thing.
    And people can be unhealthy for different reasons. Some have physical illnesses that affect their ability to take care of themselves or their body's ability to take care of itself. Some have mental health issues and executive dysfunction that makes doing basic self care nearly impossible. Some people just don't care at all. And you know what? All of those people are worthy of love, and all of those people don't deserve to have their lack of health as their defining characteristic.
    On a related note, I hate how diabetes has basically become a joke. Someone posts a video of themselves eating a lot of sweets and everyone says "dang I got diabetes just watching this" like??? Diabetes is a serious thing and it's not solely affected by diet. Ofc there's Type 1 and the cause for it is basically unknown, but even for Type 2, diet is only one of multiple factors. Genetics plays a HUGE role, and even then there are other reasons someone might develop it. AND, even if they did develop it because of a poor diet and lifestyle, it's still not something to make a joke out of. It's basically "haha you didn't take care of yourself properly so now you have a dangerous condition because it's what you deserve lmao." It just rubs me the wrong way.
    Anyways, this was a great video and I really appreciate how you handle all the topics with care. I loved her, it's such a shame to hear all this.

      I love your point of view and this is exactly why body neutrality is the right way to go! People should just mind their own business about other people's bodies
      Btw I want to say that as a skinny person, like many other people, I got fat shamed and bullied my whole life for "not being healthy or curvy enought" so really no one is safe from comments (I'm saying this not to minimize what fat people go through, but just to emphasize how the only way to go is that EVERYONE should mind their own business about people's bodies)

    So glad you’re talking about this and taking the side of the victims. It was so disappointing to see how divided Lizzo fans were the other day when she’s obviously guilty. I don’t think people understand that these dancers speaking up is basically career suicide for them and it wouldn’t make sense at all for them to be “doing it for the money and attention”. Lizzo will probably win the lawsuit (although hopefully not the court of public opinion) and the dancers probably won’t find work because they’ll be branded as “difficult to work with”. I think they’re incredibly brave for speaking up and I really hope they win and get the justice they deserve.

    I just found this channel. I did see some of his tiktoks over a year ago but didn't think much of it. this man makes my ADHD so happy he talks the right pace and walks that line of keeping my attention without over stimulating me. I will be binging for the next year thank you

    My mom has a friend who worked at the Lizzo concert in Portland, and even though my mom and I had a lovely time, her friend said that Lizzo was a very rude and inconsiderate person to be working with at said concert. Of course, said friend was nicer about it as they were posting on social media, but they just said it was a very toxic environment. All of he stuff my mom’s friend brought up about the concert seemed to check out with what’s going on now(though there were no reports oh sexual harassment at that specific concert as far as I know). It’s crazy how someone so loved for her positivity could be so negative.

    I honestly don’t get how people can be so hypocritical, I also don’t understand how they don’t think they’ll get caught for stuff like this.
    Thank you Cooper for doing a video about this and informing others about this
