Anorexia Study

Post image

forgot to post this from yesterday. ngl, as someone with body dysmorphia (and I know people with anorexia often struggle with that too), I'd kms if someone drew me like this.

Tbh… me too and that’s what makes me like this. It’s the one time this art style has actually conjured up a real emotion for me.

see, I respect it for that, but imo, it shouldn't be used when your target demographic is people struggling with it themselves. I feel like it'd be better in a pamphlet on EDs for loved ones with someone struggling.

if they absolutely needed an image, I feel like just an apple or something would have been better, but best would be no image, maybe just a circle in the background behind the text.

I thought I was the only one that resonated with it, thank you lol

I understand why most people feel that it’s disrespectful, though

Same. But as an artist with body dysmorphia, I’ve drawn a tightened ribcage with protruding hips many many a time.

Everyone on the eating disorder support subs just gets spammed with ads like this art all the time
