Eugenia Cooney is a YouTuber who some people want banned from YouTube. Why? Because in their opinion she’s setting a bad example to others by being so skinny.
There’s no question that Cooney is skinny. Being skin and bones isn’t healthy. But then she’s not extolling the virtues of not eating, or encouraging others to be like her.
Should we be encouraging Cooney to eat a little more food? Probably, because she’s clearly underweight. But the hate is unnecessary and over-the-top.
In the same way we advise overweight people to take better care of themselves, the people who know Cooney should be encouraging her to put some meat on those bones. But she certainly shouldn’t be banned from YouTube like she’s done anything wrong when she really hasn’t.
