Hypocrisy: A Nicole Arbour Story
Nicole Arbour. YouTube personality? Sure. Comedian? Um, no. Hypocrite? Abso-freakin-lutely.
If you’re lucky, you haven’t seen the “music video” Arbour posted on YouTube recently… the one riding the coattails of Donald Glover’s “This is America” called “This is America: Women’s Edit.” In it, she attempts to portray herself as someone concerned with the status of women’s rights in America. She makes commentary about date rape drugs, shaming those critical of women who breastfeed in public and how women aren’t allowed to age, just to name a few.
Her attempts at progressive commentary are more transparent than a piece of saran wrap held up to the sun at high noon. On the equator.
Arbour, who is well known for her “Dear Fat People” video as well as other train wrecks including “I Love Trump” and the one she didn’t make but should have, called “I Abused My Boyfriend”, is unapologetically all about tough love and shaming those who aren’t blessed with the same mental strength as her.
Her newest masterpiece, the Donald Glover rip-off, used solely to generate headlines, is being criticized for being a white woman’s take on social issues in America, which are obviously without compare to black issues in America. If ever there was a time to use the phrase “comparing apples to oranges,” it’s now.
However, race issues aside, I’d like to point out another glaring yet less pressing issue with her video.
SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE HYPOCRITE.
Arbour has made a “career” off of shaming and belittling others, with little regard to their feelings. But, when it suits her and there is an opportunity to generate millions of views, she’ll gladly throw on a hoody and some ripped jeans to preach about all the injustice she faces as woman. Who cares about fat people, let’s pity me, and those like me. But, don’t pity anyone else, they’re weak pieces of shit — her words, probably.
In another cringe worthy video titled “Why Depression is All in Your Head,” Arbour dilutes mental illness into little more than a choice made by the mentally weak. I was unfortunate enough to engage with her regarding the video. The exchange went a little something like this, and I’m paraphrasing:
I’m Nicole Arbour and I’m amazing, sent here to earth from to Heaven only to save humanity from itself. Think of me as Jesus, only with a bigger “team of people.” Anything you say will have no merit because you’re only here to criticize me and that isn’t okay, even though criticizing people is ALL I DO. Goodbye, pleb.
In the messages we exchanged, Arbour revealed herself as someone completely devoid of any self-awareness, self-reflection or humility. Although, you really don’t need to exchange in a one-on-one dialogue with her to come to that conclusion.
The notion that one can put out a YouTube video in support of Trump and then later post a video about women’s rights in America is the work of a true hypocrite. If her YouTube fame eventually fades, I’m sure she could seamlessly transition to giving classes on hypocrisy. Finally, she’d be doing something that’s actually funny.
