2. In before angry atheist responses, gb2/church/, etc.

19. Ugh, I hate that word, "thinspiration". It's freaking anorexia, not a cutesy self-help program! Stop fooling yourself, get help, and get a sandwhich for the love of God.

I can be a surly atheist on occasions but...

Come one. Veggie Tales. How can you hate Veggie Tales? ): Anybody who hates Veggie Tales is taking themselves way too seriously.

I was going to say... I mean, you'd have to be a real fucking jerk to hate on Veggie Tales.

I think that irks me more than anything, using "thinspiration" as a way to try and get around the knee-jerk reactions people have when you use words like "anorexia".

Oddly, "thinspiration" gives me a more serious knee-jerk reaction than anorexia does. Probably because it feels more sinister as a way of sugar coating anorexia.

Just watch, when more people learn about it it'll have the exact same connotations. Did you know that the word "brainwashing" was originally intended as a sugarcoated term to make it sound pure and right? Now it has sinister enough connotations that people start to say "reeducation" instead if they're doing it.

Really? Didn't know that about the brainwashing term. Will have to look that up. I think on the internet (or at least LJ) thinspiration has the same negative view. However, I haven't heard it used off-line at all. I agree though, the public at large does view anything to do with anorexia quite badly, so terms like thinspiration probably wouldn't last long as a positive term.

2. I'm not a Christian and I LOVE VT. The original, good, religious version. It's impossible to not feel happy after watching it!

19. God, I know. I hate that people now think that "anorexia" is a LIFESTYLE rather than an eating disorder. I think the majority of ana kids aren't actually anorexic, just attention whores, though. So...
