No that is definitely a tan, thatās really how she looked back then. It wasnāt good content at all and she stopped and deleted the video but they even included a part in that history post where they admitted she said it was a tan. Sheās expressed regret in tanning that badly too. Also, the content sheās being called out for is from 2011/12 and she DEFINITELY doesnāt feel that way anymore, the same source youāre using cites her talking about how talking like that isnāt okay and sheās ashamed of her old videos. Back in 2012 I was sexist and homophobic and now Iām a gay feminist. Growth happens. No internalized misogyny or stereotypes are present in her content anymore and sheās way more mature. She even tries to include non binary people in her content and said that it makes her happy when people tell her they love being acknowledged like that.
She learned without being called out, instead commenters just helped her and she expressed gratitude for that, but then years later itās resurfacing despite the fact that her content is NOTHING like that any more. And yeah, itās good to be aware, but y'all are spreading this without information and as if itās representative of her as a person, especially when most people donāt read sources and take words at face value.
Most people in the notes claiming she did blackface donāt even know the context when asked and it just goes to show how obsessed with call out culture people are. One person has even claimed she did blackface in 2017, but thereās no explanation unless they mean her ā100 coats videoā where she did many layers of lashes, foundation, hairspray, lipstick, and spray tan. They could have meant the fact that the spray tan she put on her arm eventually got dark, but she even admitted she didnāt know that would happen and washed it off. She definitely wasnāt trying to get darker though, she was just following a fun trend with beauty products.
TL;DR: Jenna marbles, like everyone else on YouTube in 2012, was dumb and edgy and kind of said whatever. She also tanned way too much. Over the years sheās matured, hasnāt repeat offended, and is remorseful for her past videos. She now just makes content to have harmless fun
