In a world where kindness should reign, it’s hard to fathom how anyone could believe that cruel and demeaning language serves a purpose. Yet, meet Jenna Sparks, a self-proclaimed comedian who released a video titled “Dear Overweight Individuals” on her YouTube channel. In it, she boldly asserts that her harsh words towards people with larger bodies are somehow beneficial. Although the idea of fat-shaming is widely condemned, Sparks insists that shaming individuals for their weight is not just acceptable, but necessary.
In her video, she targets individuals for their size, mocking everything from their presence on airplanes to their supposed odor. Here are a few of her eye-rolling quotes:
- “What are you going to do, overweight people? Chase me? I can walk away at a normal speed!”
- “Fat-shaming doesn’t exist! That’s just a term created to silence those who want to call out bad habits.”
- “They forget that being plus-sized often leads to health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and too soon goodbyes from loved ones.”
While YouTube eventually removed Jenna’s video and suspended her account, she quickly took to her social media platforms to claim that she was a victim of political correctness. She argued that her video had been shared widely and stated, “Clearly, this message was needed.”
Despite the fact that even a child understands that name-calling is harmful, Sparks seems to think she’s providing a wake-up call for those who might not be aware of their bodies. It’s as if she believes people were oblivious to their health issues until she came along to enlighten them. Thanks, Jenna.
Instead of fostering a culture of body positivity and empathy among our children, her approach encourages them to judge harshly and express disdain for anyone who looks or acts differently. If someone is hurt by your words? Well, according to Sparks, that’s their problem. After all, who are we to determine how someone else should live or look?
Jenna Sparks and her followers seem to embody the belief that empathy is overrated and that cheap laughs at the expense of others are perfectly acceptable. Thank you, Jenna, for showing us how to spread negativity and bullying in our society. We really need more of that.
