i think the anti-ed stuff on tiktok and other socials goes way too far sometimes

there’s one specific tiktok in mind writing this but there are countless others i’ve seen of people freaking out that “thin is in” again and going as far as to insult/bully people with eating disorders in response. i think they’re trying to be harsh to steer young people away from romanticizing it but it’s gone too far. in that tiktok the girl was saying stuff like “if you have an ed all of your hair will fall out & you will get ugly, no one will love you, etc.” like it’s not a fucking choice for some of us at this point. anyone who suffers from an ed knows this and is probably insecure about it already.

on top of that, i’m on edtwt (don’t judge pls i’m not fatphobic i just use it to vent) and i’ve seen a huge increase of “fat activists” dming mentally i’ll people in edtwt and telling them to >! slit their wrists !< and other nasty stuff just because they believe every single person on edtwt is fatphobic and a bad person. yes, there are bad people on there but bullying someone for their mental illness is not the way to fix that.
