#They remind me of that time my uncle's stomach-ring thingy (medical device i don't know the name of) started literally killing him

Was minding my own business searching for posts about Buddy the Elf (not actually an elf, go watch the movie Elf, I'm psychically compelling you) only to get jumpscared by a bunch of pro*na posts and thus got a rude reminder that THAT'S a subculture that exists on this site

(Let me know if I need to trigger tag this)

#i didn't need or want to know what an ''*na buddy'' is #I've never battled with an eating disorder so it's not actually triggering for me #but those few times I've given into the bile fascination and looked at those types of blogs... the things i have seen #are these people as disgusted by other people's bodies as they are by their own? #because if so it must be pretty hard for them to go outside #I'm pretty skinny irl but I have NOTHING on those people that get used as ''th*nspo''. Most people don't. #They remind me of that time my uncle's stomach-ring thingy (medical device i don't know the name of) started literally killing him #bro was actively wasting away in front of me until he got the damn thing removed with a lot of prodding from my mom #of course being that skinny doesn't always mean there's something medically wrong with you- pretty sure some people just look like that #but it's both sad and horrifying to see people desperately aim for That by literally starving themselves.
