'Dear Fat People' 'I'm not apologising

The Dear Fat People video, which has been viewed over three million times on YouTube, involves Arbour speaking solo to a camera about how fat shaming is "not a thing".

YouTuber who faced significant backlash after she posted a video saying that fat people should be given tough love has said she is "not apologising" for her comments.

Nicole Arbour, whose video Dear Fat People made headlines when it was published last week, told TIME she did not regret her comments, which included comparing the #bodypositivity hashtag to "#methlove" or "#teamsmokers".

"I'm not apologising for this video, but if someone got something from it, then that's great, fantastic," the 30-year-old said. "Comedy with a message, let's do it."

Arbour added that, as a comedian, she valued free speech in satire.

"I feel it's really important that we make fun of everybody," she told TIME.

"I think [what] brings us together and unites us as people is that we can poke fun at all of us."
