Is it skinny shaming if i tell her to seek help? She's killing herself by starving to that extreme. Then i guess people are sick shaming those who get sick but don't believe in modern medicine.

No, she isn't being skinny shamed. She has a problem.

Fat/skinny shaming is bad. We don't don't know if she has medical/mental issues or not so we can't simply tell her to "eat up" I guess. She's a pretty girl but wow if someone pushed her she would be in trouble.

What sort of medical issues would cause someone to be that drastically underweight? Hospitals have feeding tubes for a reason. Originally Posted by Dellis0991

Why the hell are people so afraid to say something negative about someone? It's like all of a sudden everyone thinks they have to be super nice to each other and not offend anybody in the slightest. Now everyone is afraid to feel a little uncomfortable or be put in an awkward situation, and there's too many soft/sheltered people in this world. Toughen the fuck up and get over it.

If she thinks she's healthy, she's also fuckin insane.

No, shaming is not good either way you slice it, because it re-inforces any negative emotions tied to their thoughts about their own weight. People should want to change, not be fear-mongered or pushed to a mental breakdown to change, and it's absolutely ridiculous of you to think so. People who don't care, won't care if you shame them, people who want to lose/gain weight over some issue, but have difficulty doing so, need POSITIVE reinforcement and encouragement to change and start down a more healthy approach to life.

I disagree, if people want to change, they will. These things are nice but definitely not required. Originally Posted by Halyon

Not really. People can want change but it can not happen due to other factors. Originally Posted by Bapestar

True, but fat shaming or needing encouragement to change are not legit factors. Originally Posted by Aeluron Lightsong

Nobody should be "shamed" they should be helped. I went from a fat load to in shape by having a good support network of friends that guided me along the way that didn't once sit there and put me down about what I was doing or made me feel less than a person (well more, heh). With this woman there's a way to approach helping someone get through anorexia and it isn't "lol eat a sandwich you skeleton".

I'm going to be a hypocrite because i'm against skinny shaming but this is scary. She is skin and bones, she needs help.

Is it just me, or does she look even skinnier next to normal-sized people?

2016-09-25, 11:03 PM #116DeletedThere is a super rare condition that makes your body unable to store fat. Some girl on YouTube has it, forgot her channel name. But she really can't put on weight. She also looks deformed, and is partially blind ;/ pretty sad. But Eugenia doesn't have that. Originally Posted by Celista

What's even worse is that they made a video about trying not to laugh at other videos and that people actually watch this garbage. Originally Posted by Celista

Well, anecdotal or not, I can personally prove you wrong. I know other people who can prove you wrong. I started, and am still sticking with my 3x workouts a week at a gym, despite social anxiety, because I have a trainer I can talk to, and who will never put me down. Because I put myself down enough already, and I do it over the smallest, stupidest shit, I'm extremely self-aware of my own short-comings. I know others who will tell you the same. a positive support-network makes such a difference for the better, shaming does not. Originally Posted by Bapestar

She's sick physically and mentally. Anyone who sees it and can't admit it is enabling her to eventually die from her illness.

My thoughts? Natural selection at work.
I feel for the girl, but she cannot be helped if she doesn't think she has a problem. She's been told she has health issues and apparently isn't even considering whether or not that's the case. Anything that happens to her health-wise is the result of her own bad choices for years and years.
I hope she'll wise up and seek the help she needs, but its all on her.
One confusing bit about the fat shaming bit. The Progressive mindset seems to want to protect historically oppressed groups. You can have a college class essentially shaming men and whites (see college courses titled "Toxic Whiteness" and "Toxic Masculinity"). Well, when it comes to body weight, historically speaking, more plump women held the beauty standard. Yet they seem to be the protected class today considering how much criticism the modeling/advertising business has recieved for modeling more skinny women.
It seems that this "historical oppressd groups" criteria is bullshit.
