I think my other problem with YTs (YouTubers) is the fashion/feminist sphere is when it comes to EDs, they don't only affect young girls and women because they want to be "pretty." That could be a small factor underlying with the big factors like mental health, environment, or social conditioning by parents. It's missing the big picture to only blame it on Tumblr.
Thats my experience when i was in recovery and my body was trying to have an equilibrium, i really thought from a sense that i got an eating disorder because i was insecure of myself entering high school which i felt odd thinking was the answer bc i was basically at my most popular freshman year and i felt like a 14/15 year old should, i just felt a lot of shame with what i was hiding. I didn't really find it connected with my depression until the past year talking to my friends who also had depression or despressive episodes talk about them having an ed for awhile and we had a similar experience compared to whats been told about ed's to people overall. But my ed had nothing to do with tumblr nor even those posts were trending. Realistically they were all stupid and got brought down the next year. What i found most stupid with Mina discussing those ed aesthetics on tumblr is the way she framed it and mental illness overall on tumblr like we're all some clique telling each other to be sad and skinny. She somehow still frames itll happen again with people wanting to get back on tumblr which is quite ignorant of the overall look on having an eating disorder and depression. I know i have 20000 people who have blocked me my entire time ive been on Tumblr but ive loved my time here and nobody here has ever had an influence on how ive ever viewed myself, even with fandoms. I love Tumblr these past few years is actively encouraging its aesthetic to romanticize the simple life and encouraging each other to not feel bad for not wanting to do anything and encouraging each others view on food to enjoy it. I didn't see that in 2014, im not saying Tumblr or your social media needs to help your recovery but im glad theres a lot of those posts going around from my experience of having to love food again and having to look at my own two feet again. Again, the shit shes talking about is just so outdated and has NOTHING to do with ed's and people's view on their own mental illness and it was a video done in most poor taste to reduce Tumblr to a middle class white woman's pov.
