Chantal's rants the last few months about how people only criticize her and react to her because she is fat are delusional. This defense mechanism, to say that all criticism of her is JUST BECAUSE EVERYONE IS A FAT SHAMER, allows her to keep living in the delusion that she is great just how she is and everyone else is the problem.
What she doesn't see is the preponderance of evidence that most fat women at her size on YouTube don't engender a slew of reaction channels commenting on and criticizing their every move. Kandy Foxx, for example, is a big person who also seems incredibly normal and nice with a job and friends and hobbies. No reaction channels. Prissy P? She seems fun and nice... no reaction community. Hungry Fat Chick has a lot of issues and even does porn, but she also seems nice and reaction channels don't touch her. Even for LifebyJen, who seems to be a hot mess but a nice person with a lot of problems, can't get reaction channels worked up enough to spend much time on.
Amber and Nikacado and Chantal on the other hand, who have made being a a train wreck a brand, do get the reaction channels.
I think every day I see a new reaction channel for Chantal.... these things are growing like weeds ultimately because of her personality, life choices, and the way she chooses to create content showcasing her life deteriorating.
If you read this Chantal, here are the reasons you get so much criticism:
You Disgust People
- Constant burping and farting
- Poop and diarrhea talk as an everyday topic
- Your cats shit in the kitchen which means their fecal matter is all over your kitchen and the food you eat
- Your cats and their hair are all over the counter and hair/dander obviously in your food which is so unhygienic
- Your room/kitchen/house is shamefully dirty and you live in filth
- You show up on camera looking like hygiene is not a priority
Normal, average people find all of these things disgusting. Everyone farts, but we don't desire to have farts shoved in our faces.
Your voices and outbursts and tics are cringey and annoying
- Baby voice/"I'm so innocent" manipulation voice
- Screeching at the cats (and pretending like this is good content)
- Cat voices
- Nonsense words you yell over and over like CHUBBYUSE!!! (What the fuck is that? Why would you keep yelling this?)
- Weird faces, such as rat face
- Saying "you know?" at the end of every sentence to self-validate your nonsense. No, I don't know.
You're mean and nasty to people but act like you aren't
- Racism
- Antisemitism
- Age Shaming
- Appearance shaming
- Not apologizing to people when you were wrong, doubling down instead
- Saying everyone who criticizes you (aka most of your audience) are losers
- Saying people are jealous of you (absolutely not)
- Ordering all sorts of food Peetz doesn't like
- Acting like Peetz isn't good enough for you
- Manipulating Peetz with baby voice
- Striking channels who are within their legal right
- Getting mad at people who offer critique without acknowledging that you are the one choosing to put this content out there.
- Claiming you are a nice person despite the clear evidence to the contrary
You lie to the viewers
- Saying you haven't gained weight when it is evident that your body is much larger than it was even recently
- Claiming to follow some kind of diet (then later admitting you were binging off camera)
- Claiming that you are healthy off camera (and people should stop judging you because they don't know!) but then later admitting you order delivery 2+ times a day and showcasing in lives that you basically just eat all day long
- Saying you hired someone to take the boxes away but then they are never gone and then you say you actually haven't hired them yet
- You say you have a lot of friends but we never see them (even before covid)
- Pretending like you have a longstanding interest in fast food history and memorabilia as an excuse to binge on mcdonalds
- You were in a hotel room alone on New Years Eve
- Etc etc etc
You preach about health as your body deteriorates
- Talking about each new diet like you are a health expert and preach to people about what they should be doing but then quit immediately and binge
- Sanctimonious rants about how everyone who doesn't agree with you is a nasty haydur but then you change your own position constantly
- Deciding that it must be healthy to eat right before bed because your body needs fuel at night, for example
- Etc etc etc
Accumulating serious health problems without taking any actual steps to fix them
- The constant diarrhea, blood clots, super extreme fatty liver, diabetes, sores that don't heal, thing on your arm etc etc
- Declining mobility due to increasing body size
- Inability to care for yourself (Peetz has to put on socks)
- Eating a ton of horrible, sugary/carby foods while you have very high blood sugar as if it's not a big deal
You tell us your delusions
- Love affairs in other countries when you have out of control health problems you aren't addressing
- Trip to the Dominican Republic when you can barely walk
- Being some kind of traveling food critic when you can basically only say if something is creamy or not and never actually describing food
You're lazy to an extent that is hard for most people to fathom
- Your content is extremely lazy
- You say YouTube is your job but put no effort into growing your skills as a video editor even after YEARS (You could be a bomb editor by now if you had put some effort into learning over the past years)
- Won't do basic things to unclutter your space like break down cardboard boxes
- Won't clean your house
- Wont cook for yourself on any regular basis
We get whiplash
- Constant diet/health plan changes
- Constant youtube name changes
- Constant channel changes, whether or not you're talking about your weight or health
- Saying you aren't doing mukbangs anymore, then just healthy mukbangs, then full on mukbangs, and repeat
- Crying about health problems then eating terrible food that will exacerbate the same problems you just credit about
- Community Page rants that are deleted within hours
- Live rants that get deleted because your channel is about positivity now
All of this combined is why you get criticism. "If you don't like it don't watch!!" Well.... I don't like it, exactly, but it's such an extreme train wreck I just can't look away. This is human psychology at work. Just because you see something worthy of criticism doesn't mean you are going to stop looking at that thing. It's so outrageous that people want to talk about it, and they do.
Ultimately, even though I find Chantal outrageously annoying and her life choices unbelievable, I root for her to get her shit together, lose weight, reverse the health issues to the degree that's possible, and start traveling and doing the things she wants to do. (While also gaining some self awareness and kindness and consistency). I would love to see it. I'm here for it.
I'm a hadyur AND a supporter, you know?
