Maybe this is a stupid question, but what on Earth does McDonald's have to do with eating disorders?

(If they're really complaining about nothing, your best bet is probably to ignore them completely. You could try a polite response--something along the lines of "I don't know what you're talking about; this fic doesn't even mention eating disorders"--but if their response to that is an insult, ignore them, and delete their comments if the site you're posting on allows you to do so.)

The only thing I can think of is that McDonald's makes people fat which can lead to eating disorders? IDK.

Your advice is really good though.

McDonald's doesn't make people fat.

Eating too much McDonald's and not exercising might make you fat, but McDonald's in itself doesn't.

Re: NS 1

THIS. No one food itself makes anyone fat unless they eat too much of it, but this is a concept that so many people seem to have trouble grasping.

Someone on my flist had people ask her to make a filter so that they didn't see her exercise posts. She's put on some weight and doesn't fit her clothes so well, and doesn't want to buy new clothes, so she's been starting to work out (and joined a sports team she's having a lot of fun with). Apparently, this is triggering to some friends who have had eating disorders in the past, and seeing other people make lifestyle changes makes them want to slide back into bad habits.

Re: NS 1

Actually I feel the same way, but don't have an eating disorder. I would never ask someone to censor their posts, I just ignore them or block them myself. I get triggered into anger about the way women police themselves and each other, all the body shame and food shame and diet industry bollocks. That's why I loathe those sorts of posts.

So I do get why people feel triggered, although not sure I get why they can't just block the offending posts themselves.

It's like people wanting you tag pictures of food with trigger warnings on Tumblr, I think. I've seen people ask people I follow to tag any food pictures posts because seeing food triggers them.

Re: NS 1

See, food pictures bother me to the point of me staying off the net some days, but because I have chronic nausea. Sometimes I can't watch TV because we go to a commercial break and there are commercials for food and it just leaves me feeling incredibly sick. :P So if I'm having a particularly bad day, yeah, I'm just not going to go to Facebook, lest I see people's Instagrammed meal photos. :P So I... sort of understand how that could work? Maybe?

Re: NS 1

[diet_poison]

I mean I would tag it "food" just for organizational purposes but

that's starting to get kind of absurd honestly. How do you navigate life...?

Re: NS 1

[(Anonymous)]

Just a guess, but maybe because it's a really unhealthy "binge food".

But then some people just want all food related posts to be labeled with trigger warnings. Kids these days.

Re: NS 1

[(Anonymous)]

I used to have an eating disorder, and while McDonald's doesn't happen to be a trigger for me in particular, I did used to binge on McDonald's and it felt so humiliating, so I actually do understand that trigger.
