hey welcome back and in today's video you guys asked me if I could talk about
Eugenia Cooney and I feel like that's something we can do like I don't want to
be mean or anything but obviously the way that she looks is concerning and I
really don't want to go in depth like all the other there's there's so many
youtubers out there that use her physical image as a way to get clicks
and views and that's that's not what this is this is more of like a I want to
focus on the reality of the situation she was in the news recently for Nicki
DiMartino shutting down haters and anthem for the judge single that she
released you might have watched it she had Eugenia Kony in the video with her
let's see if we can pull that up right here
appearing depressed and more than likely the whole since the whole song is about
being judged it's not a secret that Eugenia Cooney has been picked on and
there was a an entire petition a very heated one there's been several but the
biggest one was in 2016 that garnered about 20,000 signatures to remove her
channel because she was being a bad influence people to lose weight the
change.org petition calls for Cooney to be temporarily banned from YouTube
because her athenian thinness is also triggering her fan base and also the
petition says she may not be intentionally influencing her viewers
but showing more than 50% of her body in her videos and pictures is not helping
girls with anorexia or any eating disorder this article says Eugenia
Cooney is seriously underway although she denies having an eating disorder
there's no denying that she needs help Cooney is a popular YouTube channel
where she discusses beauty tips and fashion with over 1 million followers
right off the bat it says there's no denying that she needs help
this is based off of her image as you can see here if you guys are not
familiar with this static of Eugenia Cooney she's looks very malnourished
very underweight and that's the first thing you notice about her is that it's
very shocking it's just something that you don't see I know I'm aware of the
fact that she has denied having any type of illness and that that's just the way
that she says she is naturally my body is and yeah I'm just kind of like
naturally the size so yeah but yeah it's not really a story or anything first
thing we need to ask ourselves is this really any of our business at all in the
first place the answer is yes and no no because it's her life and the decisions
that she makes of ultimately fundamentally an impact her is she happy
is she unhappy mentally that's all up to her and yes because she's a public
figure the way that she is she's created a platform generally
anybody any content creator that creates a platform and does well there you're
gonna garner attention you're gonna get followers and people that look up to you
because being a content creator is actually a really hard that it's a
really hard job it really is any any other contract creator will tell you
that this is a very difficult thing to do to be out here and to put yourself
out there have you ever had that feeling where you wanted to put yourself out
there but you were afraid of being judged you can imagine doing it every
single day and on a large scale it can be very stressful and this is something
that she's having to deal with and I've seen where it's actually gotten to her
worst influence on the internet guys clearly like I'm clearly the worst
person ever to ever pretty much be on the Internet
there's me just being a bad role model again
her attitude towards it was she gets it so much over time that that's gonna get
to you it's probably affecting her mental health but there are so many
young and impressionable children out there that are looking up to us content
creators one Twitter user says I want to be Eugenia Cooney skinny these
screenshots are from her you now a little bit ago and you can see that the
screenshots are specifically showing just how small that she is and I think
that's where it comes in to a sort of an issue because Eugenia Cooney said there
is not anything wrong with her body she hasn't said anything about it other than
that and I think there's a certain degree of responsibility where you have
to say even if there's no even if yours let's say you're not interesting there's
nothing wrong with you you need to come out and be like hey I'm
not this or I'm not that and just be up upfront and straightforward because you
you do need to care about your audience to that degree you do need to say listen
guys I'm not anorexic I'm not this this is not going on you I feel like that
would be the approach that you need to because she's not doing that it's
garnered a lot of negative attention after receiving a strike on one of her
videos back in July they restored the video and Eugenia said just got an email
from YouTube after reviewing it looks like my strike is removed and the video
is back up and my accountants gonna standings I don't know what happened one
Twitter user said no idea please can you be honest with yourself and your fans
your video was taken down because you're dying your body is that of a horribly
sick person in desperate need of medical treatment that image can't be allowed on
YouTube to pro-anorexia just stop you need help
what I'm getting from this is I believe like the best way to put it
I'm trying to put myself in her shoes if you imagine something that's you prop
you've probably experienced before anxiety I current I have actually a
generalized anxiety disorder myself anxiety is something that I feel keeps
me very goal-oriented but it's something also just do not like and I took it upon
myself I seen it was an issue to go get help for that and because I wanted it I
wanted to change and in Eugenia Cooney's case if it is a mental illness then she
could be relating to more of it as like an identity like it's it's it makes her
stand out and she's not really seeking help for that so seeing is I wanted help
because I did not like the way it made me feel she is not as as to my not she's
not seeking help because she does not dislike the way that she feels I could
be wrong we really don't know and that's that's a good take ways that we really
don't know what's going on behind the mound of Eugenia Cooney that might be a
good documentary series for Shane Dawson as well it would not matter you know but
she is in the public eye she's not really given a response she's not done
anything to explain anything and I would say well she doesn't owe us an
explanation but she she sort of does once you put yourself in a content
creators situation you are in the public eye if there's a controversy where
people think that too many young children are trying to analyse be like
that and they could be looking at an unhealthy way you see that you she
hasn't said that she doesn't have medical condition or not so most girls
don't look like that naturally she might most don't
so other girls would have to go to extreme lengths to even try to figure
out how
to get that skinny you know most of the youtubers that have made videos on her
have pushed the agenda of anorexia and because there's so many people saying
and shouting at that she does have anorexia when clearly we had we don't
know at all we really don't the first thing that young and
impressionable use are gonna do when they search up how can they look like
Eugenia Cooney is gonna be the anorexic narrative they're gonna think that's the
way to do it and then they're gonna do it that way and I would say to you
Jeannie Cooney if you are like that naturally if something if there's
something else going on then you need to address that and the
fact that you are not addressing that is dangerous but as interesting as this is
there's always something that's more interesting to me that's right you
guessed it I want to achieve a switch go ahead leave your creative and redress
responses the comment box like there's always brothers and sisters I will see
you in the next video I feel like this video is there's a there's room for more
on it I probably didn't address some of the
issues I might have made some people upset I don't know I tried to I tried to
hit it from an angle that I've not heard people talk on it about but either way I
know that your opinion how do you become a member the ref scored all you get is
subscribe notification turn on be in the comment section to every single video
cuz I'm gonna be there Greg the cat's gonna be there in the rest of the Red
Sox pretty as well and that's just another reason why this channel flips
here I need some coffee
