~a little rant because im mad~
tw: vague mentions of eating disorders.
why do so many people romanticize eating disorders?? and why is it only anorexia that gets publicized and looked at as something 'cute' to have in a fic?? anorexia isnt just being skinny. its about hating the way you look and trying everything you can to change yourself. it isnt just omg youre anorexic?? isnt that just a long word for ssssskinnyyyyyyy?!? NO. its a long word for i hate the way i am and im trying to fix myself even tho i dont need to be fixed. its not a cute quirky personality trait to give a character. and also, nobody with anorexia is going around saying 'yeahh im anorExic btw hehehe!!' its hard to find people you trust with your body issues.
back on the topic of only anorexia being publicized, is it because its the only disorder that people can spell? or is it because obsessive binge disorder is too 'disgusting' or bulimia is too 'messy'? all eating disorders are valid and equal. none of them should be romanticized in any way, shape, or form.
