skellies are generally more sympathic to people than deathfats because starving yourself is deprivation and stuffing yourself is gratification.I can totally understand why people would feel sorry for the anorexic person and have zero sympathy for a obese death fat person. The skinny person looks like they are being held prisoners and have no access to food and the food person looks like they are stealing all the food from everybody so the animal instinct of the human brain is to be angry at the fat and feel sorry for the skinny it’s the American culture side of it we see fat and we get angry that’s how the human mind works it offends people but is still the reality people like Tess holiday they say they are anorexic but I take one look at Eugenia cooney and I immediately realize, Tess holiday was actually lying about being anorexic
Huh. Never thought of it that way, but that's so truebasically, an excess of purging is more sympathetic than an excess of binging as a mental illness because no normie would willingly purge but we'd all fucking be binging if there wasn't the clear consequence of becoming a deathfat. but there is, so we don't. it's just not sympathetic.

nobody normal wants to starve. it's hugely unpleasant. indulging in carb-heavy meals, fatty snacks, and sweets, however, is pretty rad to most people. it'd be great if we could all do it without the consequence of becoming a deathfat, but we can't, so we don't. anorexia manifests as something that takes total control over your eating, while extreme obesity manifests as a complete lack over it.
given those of us non-deathfat control our eating to be so, and view our moments of binging to be either an earned reward or a slip-of-control failure, we empathize more with ana-chans who are taking on more clearly painful and obviously intentional self-harming behaviors. over-eating, on the other hand, is an excess of what we can all recognize as a pleasurable activity.

To be fair, you're basing this on anorexic cows. Cows by nature are attention-seeking oversharers, and you don't hear about the anorexics quietly dying at home. I don't think this is indicative of the disorder in general. Many anorexics go to great lengths to hide their disorder, like wearing overly baggy clothing all the time so you can't see how skinny they are, faking eating, etc. Cows are a special subset, the disorder isn't inherently narcissistic on its own.Anachans are hungry for social appreciation of their achievement. By nature of their illness they can’t be “left alone” since they require caretakers once they hit a certain point and they know this. They just expect people around to find their compulsion as important as they do.
Look at the vegan ginger. At many stages she seems hungry for social interaction (at least for IG content) and has joined “differently abled” ballet troupes, tries to be an ice skating coach, natural healing guru, attends various churches when she feels like it (then bails when they don’t cater to her and give her disabled parking spots), etc… Her TL is one long narrative of alienating everyone around her by being totally oblivious to everything but herself. I think this is one reason she started to munch, she gets more pity and social leeway being a physically sick wittle girl than a manic anorexic.
Eugenia, otoh, does seem to be isolating more than alienating but I think this is mostly because her mother has provided the perfect cocoon for her to do so. Once she alienated the little group of YT friends she was able to run back into her bedroom and ignore it all. Besides she gets the social commentary she craves about her physique from SM.
Eugenia has said she is perfectly content to live with her mom forever. I think Eugenia realizes she needs (and wants) a full time caretaker to be an apex anachan and her mom is fine with it.
One thing most older, survivor, anachans detail is how important it was to them to hear other people lament on how tiny, starved or skinny they were, so they don’t want to “be left alone to starve”. They do want people to stfu about them not eating, so if “stop hassling me about starving myself” is what you mean by “left alone” then sure.
Even Annachan supreme Ashley Issacs pulls her bag of bones out of bed so she can go on Lich parades in Target every so often and take selfies. She’s always sure to wear shorts when she goes on outings so everyone can see how incredibly starved she is. One of her very few motivations in life is to be seen in public by others so they can be shocked and awed someone so thin is still alive and shopping. It’s one of the few joys she has left.
It’s like that tree falls in the wood cliche. Is any reason for an anorexic to starve themself to death if no one is there to see it?
40? She looks like a zombie cast in the Walking Dead.
Deathfats have a food addiction. Normal people do not eat themselves to the point where they can no longer stand, and often many of these people started their addictions as a result of trauma.Anorexic and Bulimic people are definitely more sympathetic because of the mental illness, since it has more deaths than recoveries. Deathfats end up that way because of bad choices, and last time I checked, that's not a mental illness. It's just poor control.

Anorexia is the most fatal mental disorder however, so that part is still true. In general I do agree that people are more horrified at anorexic people though, quoted post being a pretty good example of why.

A condition may also occur when there is not enough calcium in the blood. This can result in muscle spasms, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, decreased vision, and long-term tiredness.
I’m curious why she bought that ugly sofa. Did she ever detail why?twitchy arms![]()

It’s not just cows. I’ve been doing some reading and what a ED counselor mentioned seems to be true - anorexic fall into two categories ones that flaunt their skeletal body and ones that try to hide it. Both kinds seem to be fairly common, sort of depends of their upbringing/particular psychology.To be fair, you're basing this on anorexic cows.

Also (at least for Americans and many Westerners) fat people are a dime a dozen, while skellies are rarer and more shocking to see. So I think they get more sympathy because they look frightening and “sicker” to the average person than people with binge eating disorder, who you can find in any Walmart. Also with so much cheap fast food around, it seems more mentally ill to starve oneself than stuff one’s face, which most mammals do by instinct when they get near a food source.Deathfats have a food addiction.

It's the top ana-chan mental illness.borderliner
she's SUPER bitchy/passive aggressive in this one and her voice has dropped a lot from when she does her usual uwu princess voice. she's genuinely mad at them for bringing this up.
Anorexia has a high death rate, but bulimia (without anorexia) only has a death rate of 1% to 3% per this medical journal article.Anorexic and Bulimic people are definitely more sympathetic because of the mental illness, since it has more deaths than recoveries.
