While some may argue that no publicity is bad publicity, we have to wonder if this Twitch streamer is one of them. Fiona Fan, also known as Fanfan, is a twenty-one-year-old woman from Vancouver, Canada, who primarily uses the platform’s “Just Chatting” category.
She talks about her life usually or the news of the day, and recently decided to take on a more divisive topic: obesity. In a video that’s gone viral.
It’s no surprise that many people were offended by the remarks. A post of the clip on /r/LiveStreamFail received over two thousand six hundred comments and became one of the most popular posts on Reddit overall.
Several people suggested that Fanfan be segregated in her own special area during the disastrous take.
Fat-shaming has been linked to increased weight gain, according to several other users. During an interview with St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, obesity expert Leslie Pristas discussed this.
After the video went viral, Fanfan responded, but it didn’t defuse the situation because she seemed adamant about defending her previous remarks.
We’ll just have to wait and see how this affects Fanfan’s Twitch following after all of the online drama.
