You know, I kind of agreed with Nicole Arbour's video until I just went and watched Grace's reply because you mentioned it. I used to be overweight, and I am tired of people not taking accountability for their weight and blaming everyone else or their thyroid or whatever. That stuff IS definitely wrong, and I think that's what Nicole was trying to get at. But Grace's video really changed my mind on a lot of the jokes, because she's right in that overweight people obviously know they're overweight...they don't need to be shamed about it. Maybe called out for bullshitting and playing the victim, but not being shamed for the very act of being fat.IAmBea wrote:I will be truly surpirsed the day she uploads a video with where the special guest isn'tone of her parents.
I've been wach a lot of Grace Helbig's videos(re-watching some I already watched and seeing others for the first time) and more than ever I could compare how hard Meghan tries to be like her.
She is like a mix of Jenna Marbles,Grace and Lily Singh gone wrong. the main difference is those 3 lovely women are actually
- smart (maybe that's when Meghan should stop with the ditzy girl act)
- funny
- talented
- Some of Grace's and Lily's videos actually have a postive message (Grace's response to ''Dear Fat People'' is one my favorites video she's ever made)
THAT SAID, I think that if one group is open for comedy, ALL GROUPS ARE. No exceptions. I have a close family member who is trans, I hear people make trans jokes that I let roll off, and then they get offended when I make a fat joke (like, "can't climb the stairs", dumb simple stuff). Double standards should not exist when it comes to comedy.
Sorry to divert the subject, I just thought Grace's video was very interesting, thanks for recommending it.
