Apparently, Pro-ana is Still a Thing

Apparently, pro-ana is still a thing, although it's harder to find them now to be compared with 10 to 15 years ago. I thought this had become an internet relic, well not really . The difference is that now it is not as organized as before, now it is more about how individuals 'show off' their condition (sometimes about the tips). Well, I feel not really good talking about this actually, a bit uncomfortable. We don't want another Cassie, do we?

it's really interesting seeing pro-ana come back but it's more cleverly disguised as health and wellness than just straight up admitting it's thinspo. sometimes i'll see accounts promoting EDs using k-pop idols and i'm like wow! not only is this just encouraging an unhealthy relationship with food, it also has an added flavor of colorism.

orthorexia has also become increasingly more common within the gym community so you have a bunch of dudes that refuse to eat/season their food properly because they're terrified of calories along with the whole "crunchy girlfriend/almond mom" thing that's been around for a while. fascinating stuff

Ah, orthorexia, yeah, I've seen some of those.
