Thousands of people have signed a petition to have a YouTuber banned from the site due to her weight.
22-year-old vlogger Eugenia Cooney has left her fans concerned after they began noticing the amount of weight she had lost recently, with people claiming that she is 'anorexic'.
The petition reads: "Eugenia Cooney has a serious medical condition and needs to seek help. She has been influencing her viewers by her serious underweight condition.

"She has not been getting better since the day she started YouTube, she's getting more and more sick each day. And it's honestly like she does this bodily harm to herself and shows young girls, such as her viewers on social media that it is 'okay', to be suffering from a medical condition such as anorexia nervosa."

The petition has now been taken down from Change.org, though almost 10,000 people signed it before it was pulled from the site.
It is not clear whether Eugenia has been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder where a person keeps their body weight as low as possible.

The condition often develops out of an anxiety about body shape and weight that originates from a fear of being fat or a desire to be thin. Many people with anorexia have a distorted image of themselves.
Eugenia has responded to the petition, writing: "People are actually making a petition to try and get me off YouTube. I just don't think that's a good thing to do to people. If anything, the whole situation has been upsetting - I'm doing okay but I'm seeing a lot of dislikes."
