I was watching a YouTube video a few days ago and someone (I can't remember who) was doing a video regarding naturalhair bloggers/vloggers and their obligation to natural readers/viewers. Well, after all this TypeF business in the natural hair community I think this would be a great topic to talk about.
Do natural hair bloggers/vloggers have an obligation to their viewers?
First answer: No.
In my opinion, if someone wants to make a video and tell naturals that they need to brush their hair every single day all day long, that's their right. Who am I to tell someone what they can and can not blog/vlog about. As an adult I can choose to follow their advice or I can use my common sense and research it out and then come to me own conclusion. Which is what all of us should be doing regardless. I don't need to run behind people telling them to take videos down, that's doing too much.
Second answer: Yes.
If you state something as fact, you are then obligated to make sure you're giving educated and well researched information. We all make mistakes so what may be factual at one point can later on be proven wrong or we may change our stance and this is okay. We should (key word) do our best to ensure we are giving educated advice.
Conclusion: If someone wants to make a fool of themselves then I let them go right ahead. I don't feel the need to make fun of them or run behind them and make comments about how they're bringing the black community down because they are posting false videos about natural hair.
I have other causes to fight.
There is A LOT of false information about naturalhair care on and offline and as with anything it is up to the individual to do their research.
What do you think?
