Brothers and sisters in christ, in this, the year of our lord two thousand and twenty six WHY THE EVERLOVING HELL ARE EATING DISORDERS STILL A THING?!?! There should be enough celebrity push back on these warped managers and available information about this on the internet to shut down their body shaming bullshit, FFS. Get this chick dinner with Queen Latifah and Sir Mix A Lot STAT.

Global eating disorder prevalence increased from 3.5% to 7.8% between 2000 and 2018.
I genuinely believe its worse now than 2018, what with the mass marketing of GLP1 (or similar medicine), and the rise in popularity of the Looksmaxxing bullshit.
The truth is, billion-dollar corporations go out of their way to brainwash the masses that these body types, that are entirely unachievable for the hyper-majority of the population, are THE sex standard. They use this to convince impressionable and desperate people alike to buy buy buy to try to look like this.
The celebrities/models who profit off of it like Ariana Grande are just as guilty. People wanna talk about how EDs warp people’s minds. However, I don’t think its rational to suggest Ariana, and every other major figure, isn’t aware of what they’re doing. She’s made references to it in social media, at least one if her new songs, and always constantly puts emphasis on her exposed bones in front of every available camera.

Yeah it’s so fucked up, sex with someone that skinny is straight up painful, their bones cause bruises on you, there’s nothing sexy about banging a skeleton. Yet, these sick fuckers controlling the media want their stars like this, emaciated and fully under control.

On the other hand people pretend that being 5 foot 4 and 130lbs is some impossibly thin unrealistic goal when twenty years ago you’d have been called fat. It’s definitely not fat, but it sure isn’t thin either.
