Jenna marbles can you do this
YouTuber Jenna Marbles has announced she's leaving the video sharing site. In an eleven-minute video, she talks about what she describes as "shameful" content she's made in the past.
The year-old has apologised for racist and sexist videos, including an impersonation of Nicki Minaj. The comedian - who has more than 20 million subscribers - says she's "moving on" from YouTube but doesn't know if it's just for now or forever. In a teary video posted to her page, she says it's a time when we're all "purging ourselves of anything and everything toxic". After making a number of old videos private, Jenna addresses three in particular.
These include a blackface impersonation of Nicki Minaj. This is where someone who's usually white, paints their face darker to impersonate someone of a different race. It doesn't matter, all that matters is that people were offended. It's shameful, it's awful.
That is not to say I a woman of color do not forgive her as I do and would love if she were to return to YouTube. It was obvious Jenna had grown as both a person and a content creator since she first began posting and I will forever be sad she felt she was unable to continue her channel though I understand the sentiment. I hope she is living her best life and will be picking out costumes for her dogs for this Halloween. Can I get a hell yeah?? Landy Sep 30, at pm. Truly Jenna was one of a kind.
This statement just shows how soft the internet has become. And no, not saying those jokes were fine then, but it was a different time. And to show exponential growth and still be cancelled? Cancel those who are truly horrible people. Put effort into those. And quit being sensitive and offended for others. Jaanraabinsen Sep 30, at am. All I know is she made me smile during very dark times. Minor mistakes in a video-comedic career that was altogether brilliant.

People make mistakes, they apologize, and they only grow when they keep up the promises made. Jenna is sorely missed, but the tone I am getting from this is that if she does come back she is no longer the pinnacle of martyrdom for her accountability, and labled as just another Shane Dawson or Logan Paul or Pewdiepie, before she has a chance to allow us to forgive her.

You can tell in her videos that she genuinely does want to do things the right way like taking care of Ad, the hamster. She wants to help people. I hope she comes back and that her presence does do more good than harm. Thank you for saying what we as the community feel. Jessica Sep 29, at am. This is the beautifully written version of how we should feel.
She has only ever set out to make people laugh and make them feel like they had a friend and you could see the hurt and pain she had when she realized the full scope of things, the unintentional harm she had caused. Leah Barlass Sep 29, at am. Such a good article! I find myself rewatching her content as well and hate the thought of never seeing anything new.
But at the same time I am grateful for all the content she left behind for us to reminisce to and hope that she has found 10 fold the happiness she has sent out into this world via youtube!!

Dressing her dogs up for Halloween, someone is offended by the holiday or by dogs in clothes.
Taking the dogs for a walk, someone is offended by how they made fun of Marbles. Maybe this protected generation that got participation trophies and safe spaces needs to grow up. Paige Ruskaup Sep 29, at am. Cancel culture is a problem. There are so many other people on the internet that are doing way worse videos. Jenna Marbles was a blessing and a way to get away for even 15 minutes.
All of they people that contributed to her canceling should know that they hurt a very sweet and innocent genuine person. If you want change go after the ones that need to change.
Picking on innocent people makes you less credible. Katie Sep 29, at am. My late brother sent me one of her videos in while I was pregnant. And I was instantly hooked. I, too, feel like we watched her mature into a lovely person and admire her empathy and integrity.
But I sure do miss her. I wish there was another platform for her to reemerge. Tara Sep 29, at am. The makeup tutorials were meant to be a joke. And they were hilarious. By the time Jenna felt that it was necessary to apologize for her old content, she had already grown in maturity and responsible content. Incase anyone took notice, Jenna started wearing less makeup as time passed, and we still love her just as much.
I feel that our world has become overly sensitive since the introduction of the internet. Jabraun Sep 29, at am. This showed up on my Google news feed and i could not agree more. As a fellow Virgo, i miss Jenna like i would miss my best friend if i lost her. I hope she finds a way to come back; and i hope cancel culture leaves her alone when she does because i love her and my mental health misses watching her videos every week as solice.

Alright, that was probably a little too dramatic, but she really was a big part of my late teens and 20s. I want her to come back because she wants it. Lindsey Sep 28, at pm. Whether it was her giving herself a new face or filming her dog whenever he cried or was nasty, it always gave me the best feeling just to watch her do what she wanted.
Shannon Sep 28, at pm. Jenna brought a lot of joy, introspection, and just zero fucks into the world. I miss her personality, the embodiment of being weird and laughing at yourself. She was a really great role model that showed growth and acceptance. I miss it. Kate Sep 28, at pm. It blows my mind how everyone gets offended over literally everything.
Jenna was a good one. There was no need for ppl to be rude to her. Let ppl grow and move on. So ridiculous. Joseph MacKie Sep 28, at am. Mourey now makes videos once a week, on topics ranging from a day in her life to her thoughts on Shark Week , the week-long series of programs devoted to sharks that the Discovery Channel airs every year. That may be, but her fans, who are mostly in their teens, seem to love it.
Their parents aren't as enamored. They disapprove of Mourey's cursing and her talk about drinking and sex. All rights reserved. Jenna Marbles might just be the most famous person you've never heard of.
