“pro ana” spaces were literally born out of people who have active ED’s being censored and unable to express their feelings without being called ‘triggering’.
90% of ppl with ED’s on this app do not think having anorexia, bulimia ect. is a good thing. it’s not like that. we are pro acceptance of ppl who have ED’s who don’t want to recover yet.
we know we can’t force each other to eat or get better but we can encourage harm reduction i.e. staying hydrated, not fasting longer than 72 hours ect.
i’m sick of ppl (who’ve never even had an ED most of the time) raiding ED spaces, making fun of them or advocating for their censorship. for many ppl this is the only way they can express their feelings and speak freely, taking that away from them does more harm than good.
