When we saw Wicked, I turned to my wife and said “someone needs to fix that girl a sandwich.”
Seriously though, it’s sad to see. No healthy person is that skinny.
watching one of my favorite singers wither away right before our eyes is heartbreaking

Ariana Grande is a shitty and classist person, and she’s dying.
It’s baffling to see so many people, not even able to live paycheck to paycheck, foam at the mouth when it’s correctly pointed out she’s dangerously starving. Her dumbfuck cult of a fanbase are witnessing her commit suicide via ED, and scream at anyone pointing it out as “body shaming”.
I mean, this is the same bitch who said she hates Americans because they’re fat (something that correlates to poverty). She also has used her body to sell countless products to young impressionable girls who will never be able to achieve her body size without also engaging in starvation.
This isn’t just a return to the “heroine chick” EDs of the early 2000s, this is going far past that. This is the “3 minutes from dying” chick. This will have dire consequences on young people’s psyche for a whole generation.

Lemmy (and reddit and all of social media) tend to be pretty cruel to anyone who is famous whenever they slip.

Ariana Grande’s super fans will shamelessly argue that she’s healthy, nothing’s wrong, and that the elephant in the room shouldn’t even be mentioned
Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 hours ago
I went to read a few articles after seeing this post. They all cite “fans” criticizing “body-shaming” her for being “too thin”. I don’t think those people ever knew someone who had anorexia or how dangerous this is.
lath@piefed.social 4 hours ago
She’s an easily influenced influencer. Remember her licking doughnuts as a trend? She was with “friends” at the time.
Similar to Will Smith, she’s a rich kid with a ton of insecurities and lots of bad acquaintances. She’ll keep making mistakes because that kind of negativity leads your thoughts astray easily and you need something grounded to keep you going. I’m not sure she has that something to hold on to.

Don't particularly care, except for that she is essentially just promoting anorexia to her fanbase of young girls who don't know better, which is pretty fucked up because Ariana should know better.
did_you_find_violets@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
The thing is, she most definitely doesn’t know better right now in the depths of anorexia. Anorexia warps your sense of reality and self, and it’s also a competitive disorder (hence, the “flaunting” many people suffering from it do). I mean, in the music video, there’s a note that says ‘couldn’t hurt to lose a few pounds’ while she looks like that, so she’s obviously not in her right mind. I blame her management, executives, team, family, and friends for enabling her.

If you watch the full video though she’s obviously “opposed” to the critique she’s getting from the judges (the note), as she goes full Carrie on them in the end

i feel pity for her of course. also, thanks lemmy o grant me (a 47yo dude, basically listening to either deadmau5 or Motörhead) a peek into today’s pop stars, so that I can have an awareness discussion on this body image thing with my 14yo pop culture sensitive daughter. i don’t think she’s got a body image problem, but good to nail it now.

Pro-tip: the community’s description explicitly states: “Anything and everything goes. Memes, Jokes, Vents and Banter.” Consider this a vent.
Also, content policing on a platform as small as Lemmy makes no sense. This also isn’t the first snarky, smart-ass comment you’ve left on my posts, which is also weird.

This is a very distressing picture, and a incredibly sad topic.
“shitpost” is generally understood to have humor as one of the defining characteristics.
So, i’m sure you can see that this might make people point out that this might be the wrong area for this, and frankly can seriously harsh someones buzz if they just want to look at some fun memes and get a left hook right in the feels.

No one cares about her, she’s just their cash cow. The second pic is from her newest music video, “Petal,” released a few days ago. The fact that a whole team approved a video that’s blatantly pro-ana content (body checking/bonespo) for a mainstream pop star with a young, female fanbase is disgusting. Eating disorders are socially contagious, but I guess all publicity is good publicity to them.
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 7 hours ago
No argument form me, with the introduction of GLPs we have circled back to promoting anorexia to the next generation of young women. Obviously the publisher don’t care about that, same as with any big corporation. The only thing that matters is line going up.

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.
HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
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.

Which are very good medicines used successfully to fight obesity. Let’s not blame the medication here. They however should be used by people who are actually struggling with obesity and not already fit people who want to lose weight for esthetic reasons. And why a doctor would ever prescribe them to someone who is clearly already under weight and possibly struggling with an eating disorder is beyond me.
Also I don’t believe she is using any of those kinds of drugs. These kinds of eating disorders are mental health issues and have been recognized as such for decades. People have been suffering from this kind of thing long before weight loss medication became a reality. You don’t need your body to tell you not to eat if your mind already does so.
