I’m currently writing an essay on the thin is in topic as well and I saw this interesting research paper by Karen Dias on the invasion of pro ana spaces on the early internet & how you kinda kept separated unless you actively looked for those topics. It kinda makes me think about the blending of lines in Internet spaces like tiktok where you don’t actively search things that resemble body checking, pro ana content but it seeps into your feed / the reaction it gets when it leaves the “internet neighbourhood”.
(Ofc not talking about the people who are actively attacking fat people and using their photos to mock them etc)

Another great read by Abby 🔥
I completely agree. Any attention given to them will only fuel their mindset. Sometimes you just have to let people go.
Thanks for this. I’m going to re-read it tonight and do some more reflection.
