She's known about Amberlynn for a few months but only now decided to make a video about her due to the delicate subject matter (obesity) but she fell into the rabbit hole and had to throw her pen in. Disclaimer about not tipping the cows except in normie talk, she says she'll be basing her commentary on the DSM-5 and on a course she took at Lyon University.
Basic psychology sperging and stats about obesity, depression, and binge eating disorder.
''I mention this because it's super important to understand that we cannot hate Amberlynn only because of her weight. That would be absurd. Nobody chooses to be obese, it's related to a multitude of factors that aren't chosen. So no, that's not why people hate her, that would be absurd and cruel, surely there's another reason people hate her.''
Recap of early Amberlynn years- launched in 2013 at 22 years old, wanted to catalogue her weight loss, etc. She mentions Amber had a small following, mostly other fats who shared her journey, and she was an ''open book'' towards her viewers LOL. Her childhood sucked. Y'all know the lore.
She mentions the Amberlynn failure cycle briefly, and doesn't see the irony of saying she doesn't see the point of a website documenting ''some random's'' weight through the years whilst making her own video about the beast herself. ''And yet, she so deeply wants to reach her goal''.
Every time Amber fails, she anticipates the hate and tries to brace herself for the mean comments, but they happen anyway as does the poor likes/dislikes ratio after a failure. As her audience expands, the ambiance of her comment section changes for the worse, getting more virulent, especially after the ''I've been lying to you all'' video, where her audience felt betrayed by her.
More on the Amberlynn cycle, says it's clearly from people who don't like her, but it isn't totally false. Two main criticisms at this point of her YT career:
1. She makes excuses for her failures- the YTer says she observed some excuses, but also a fair amount of accountability and those videos don't garner a much better ratio, so she dismisses this criticism.
2. Lying, gaslighting, and manipulating fans- YTer says it's a reach, that she's just embarrassed, but that we'll come back on the subject. Dismisses the idea that Amberlynn lies about her diets (''why would she?'')
Addresses the idea that Amberlynn doesn't want to lose weight because she doesn't want to lose her audience, and mentions that her success videos garner high views so this seems unlikely. Doesn't see why she'd lie about her goals. Sums up this idea as ''People want her to lose weight and losing weight is easy, so if she gained weight, it must be calculated and desired by her.'' Laughs at the notion that losing weight as a pachyderm isn't such an impossibly difficult task, spergs about ALL studies about diets showing diets don't work. no1curr. Draws parallels with anorexia, saying that they need lifelong help and a structure to get better, so why not fats?
Submits that those 2 criticisms aren't based in truth but in clichés and lack of knowledge regarding obesity.
Looks up ''Amberlynn reid scam'', talks about the Becky's mother situation-type deal. Says that Amberlynn planned all along to give all the revenue from this video to Becky's mother, mentions Becky's mum's best friend's post. She makes a big deal about how the post mentions Amber doesn't help at all then talks about a $100 donation for the hotel (''That's not what I call not helping at all!'') and says that Becky's mother isn't even Amberlynn's mother, so $100 is already above and beyond as she doesn't owe her anything. Agrees with Becky's sister's comment saying that Amber is helping plenty and that she needs to monetize videos in order to help financially to start with. She says the discrepancy between the 7h car ride vs 2h car ride is irrelevant, and that no one ever said that Amberlynn set up the GFM since Becky said it was Misty's GFM.
She thinks it's weird that Becky's mom's best friend posts on anti-Amberlynn content and groups, and finds the way the two women met suspect as well- cow-tipping because she bought one of the table decorations made by Norma that Amberlynn had in one of her videos, meaning the friendship was less than a year old at the time of the post and unlikely to be a BFF relationship.
25:57, Touches on Jerry's ex's post on the Kiwi Farms calling the GFM a scam due to Norma's Tricare coverage, says that subcutaneous mastectomies to treat cancer aren't covered anyway which took her ''2 minutes to look up'', and rationalizes the post as bad blood carried by Jerry's ex-wife towards his current wife. Calls the poster fatphobic LOL, says she only posted on threads related to our gorl. I see a few of yall uncensored for once including
@Xenomorph, welcome to French gorlworld, I guess. Doesn't understand why YTers take poster's words as gospel truth because they're clearly motivated by dislike of Amber, jealousy as an ex-wife, and hate of fats in general.
Next accusation- Amberlynn is a liar. Jokingly says ''Because Amber lied about her food intake, she simply must be lying about everything else, including futile details.'' PLs about her own food intolerances acquired later in life, says it's possible Amber was able to eat eggs her entire life and then suddenly stopped being able to have them, and that lactose intolerant people eat dairy all the time.
Talks about the ''Confessing everything I've lied about'' video after mentioning some other controversies about Amber's lies such as the scootypuffs, her weight, etc. Gives her thoughts on those lies.
Lying about why she moved- she wanted to protect her girlfriend's private life.
Lying about why her and her aunt are at odds- it wasn't a lie but an error in the way she evaluated the reasons of her aunt's dislike.
Lying about her weight- she just plays the clip of Amberlynn saying she wants to avoid backlash and tells people what she thinks they want to hear.
Lying about gf's weight- she wanted to protect her and didn't want to expose the weight gain.
Lying about work schedules- plays the clip of Amberlynn saying she wanted viewers to be proud of her after living off her ex's parents' income for 4 years.
Lying about high BP- She isn't obliged to share her medical files with her viewers, she's allowed to keep that private.
Lying about scootypuffs- says Amber admitted it was because her weight was making walking difficult.
Says none of these lies make her a bad person, that most were just Amber trying to protect herself from negative opinions online, says she can't blame her for it. She says Amberlynn was trying to get people to like her again with her video, but it did the complete opposite because it made people ultra-analyze everything Amberlynn said for the smallest incongruity.
She's now talking about a video asking Amber to respond to incoherences and gives her thoughts, I cba to find the original honestly, maybe a YDHB one? I'm not subjecting myself to that to double check after this, haha.
The ASL thing- knowing the alphabet doesn't make you fluent in ASL, so this isn't a lie.
Concerning someone asking AL if she'll ever recognize that she's disliked because of the manipulation and lies rather than her weight, and AL saying she won't acknowledge that because it isn't true, paired with the video of her saying ''Let's say I gaslight my audience, who fricking cares?''- ''Let's say'' is a way to introduce a hypothetical, so she isn't admitting to manipulating her audience. Calls people idiots for not knowing what a conditional tense is.
Introduces the uterine cancer saga, and Nikocado Avocado. Says he parodied her a bit, and during one of the parodies implied that the cancer arc was fake. Says that AL responded to that by showing medical documents that didn't leave any shadow of a doubt about the truth of her health situation at the time, and by showing graphic photos of her scar. Deplores that people are making memes (mêmes) about the cancer with some sad music in the background, reads scathing comments on YT still disbelieving AL. Chimps out with a grave, solemn tone about people saying the cancer was related to her obesity- ''You don't know anything about that. Unless you're her gyno or geneticist, you don't know. (...) You aren't allowed to emit opinions such as these on the Internet.''
Says this is a selection of her ''lies'' that she feels is representative of what's reproached of AL and that they're the ones with the most proof, but that there are plenty more that are more tenuous. Obnoxious muppet sarcasm.
Talks about the Cassidy/Casey aboose claims, but segues into the whole deadname/pronouns thing instead. Says it was clumsy of AL to use female pronouns, says it might have been transphobic if on purpose, but that she doesn't feel that it was done in an evil, hurtful manner by AL after hearing her explanation of how she was talking about her own story, which included someone who IDed as a woman at the time. She also accepts AL's justification that using the old name and pronouns was better because that person ''didn't exist anymore'' and no one would know who it was about/Casey would still be unidentifiable though she calls it clumsy.
Says it ended up being for naught since Casey made her own video to deny AL's claims, thus identifying her. She says it's impossible to say who is saying the truth without more information or evidence. ''I know we must always believe victims, but we're confronted with two people who claim to be victims. My opinion is that it's possible that both formed a toxic couple and that both hurt each other.''
Says that Casey posted some evidence in her videos, but that nothing was convincing. She says the pussy stank exchange makes her really uncomfortable because it was uncalled for of Casey to share such intimate screenshots lmao. nOt cOoL. AL shouldn't have misgendered Casey, and Casey shouldn't have shared such personal exchanges, but we still don't know who was violent or if anyone was.
Animal cruelty claims due to FAT- it's not good for animals to be fat, but everyone with a fat pet ''knows'' it's not that easy to stop them from being obese. PLs about her mum's fat cat, they totally tried everything and every time they limit her food intake, she becomes sad and lets herself die so they decided to let her be fat because it's better to have a happy, fat cat than a thin, healthier, unhappy one. Mentions a poll she made on her IG where most people answered ''it's on a case-by-case basis'' to the question of, ''Is having an obese pet abusive?''. Convincing. She also later mentions that they walk Twinkie a lot in vlogs.
Twinkie's nails- she asked a vet and they said it would be good to cut the nails, but it isn't in and of itself abusive at that length. She says that most of the time, Twinkie's nails are fine but everyone latches onto the ONE time they were overgrown.
Cue cat throwing clip, which she prefaces with ''If you're attentive, you will be able to notice something that allows us to say that in this clip, Amberlynn is not abusive towards her animals.'' She says Destiny is the abusive one, not Amberlynn, and that she doesn't appreciate that she treats animals like toys and wishes her a UTI. Says you can even see AL being shocked by Destiny's hit on the animal, though what I see is a play-shocked Pikachu face. wtv. Calls the clip of Amberlynn picking up the cat and carelessly dumping it behind the sofa ''not delicate at all'' but says that if you add context to it, Destiny was holding it upside down and by its paws. Says it would have been nicer to just set it down nicely, but that the priority was to move the cat away from Destiny, and that she usually finds AL cute and sweet to her animals in other clips.
Narcissism accusations- Mad at Mr. Snowflake for diagnosing AL despite not being her psychiatrist, she also says a lot of other YTers leave the Internet and public conversation temporarily when they face criticism. Snowflake says something about AL always thinking the minutia of her life is super interesting to others, Muppet voice about AL having passions and wanting to share them and that not being narcissistic behavior, more muppet voice about how having a niche interest isn't narcissistic. Plays a clip of someone calling AL a lovebomber because she showers her gfs with gifts, and she reduces that to ''So, everyone who likes to give presents- narcissistic!'' as though Destiny's last Christmas haul is just a little show of affection.
She asks why, if Amberlynn constantly wants to be showered with money and attention, does she not want to be on TV? Isn't a widely watched show the jackpot for a narcissist?
She says that people are hiding under false pretense to justify their hate for AL, but in reality, it's just because society hates fats, Big channels allow themselves to say inappropriate things about AL, but it garners views and is accepted. She says this wouldn't pass on FrenchTube or about any other illness or condition and brings up a case of someone saying something false about depression apologizing and hosting a psychologist on their channel to educate. Chimps out about people only being interested in AL due to FAT. waaah fatphobia.
End.
