you know of who I speak

Most fucked up thing of the day: seeing the lovely Pro-Anorexia community, complete with a jack ass post about how someone wants to be as thin as a House Elf. Gods above, I hope that was just a nicely twisted joke. The whoel thing is rather creepy, a combination of people with genuine sadness, and that moronic brand of folk who write as if they've learned language from AOL chatrooms.

ugh. it always makes me sad when i see info pages where people are a member of such communities.

I have a sinking feeling that is not a joke, and these people are for real. This is depressing, and makes me worried. They need help, and having a bunch of other people worshipping the disease is not helping.

Of course, if this is all a sick joke, I will feel pretty stupid.

ha!

"Thin as a House Elf"? Where did this chick learn her fairy-lore, anyway? What is school teaching them, if not such basic facts as "any house elf worth its salt should be fat and playful"? Kids these days just know NOTHING about fantastic beings. It's tragic, really.

I went to a bunch of pro ana and 'mia comms to inspire me and as for research for Narci. Thinspiration is what disturbs me the most. Those stupid, skinny famous people flaunting themselves as if they were any more attractive than a toothpick are only inspirational to girls that want to starve themselves to be pretty. How can those women live with themselves?

And... well, can you blame them for wanting to look like Dobby? He's so sexy! His wrinkled skin. His buggy eyes. His flappy ears... *le sigh*

I'm sorry, but that's just inane... sick... caving to media pressures and not admitting self-image problems. I could only read so much without becoming utterly repulsed, having had self-image problems in the past and coping... And, aren't House-Elves more concerned with being lively and feasting upon the foods of life -- including food? Could just be me, but, I think their wries are crossed there, too. Ugh. Just... UGH!
