Who the fuck would freak out over cupcakes? For real?

I shouldn't be laughing, but I am.

THAT IMAGE NEEDS A TRIGGER WARNING HDU

[iceyred]

That's a work of art, that gif is.

[forgottenjester]

I love you. I love this gif.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm crying. I feel bad for laughing at this but it's just perfect.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit, I am DYING at this. Brilliant.

probably someone with an eating disorder tbh

[baranohanayome.livejournal.com]

See, I can sort of see that, but if someone is recovering from an eating disorder then the absolute last thing they need to be doing is browsing the internet. I'm constantly bombarded by advertisements for various foods (mostly junk like home delivery pizza) on the one hand, and ads for weight loss gimmicks berating me for daring to eat anything other than whatever low-carb liquified cardboard crap they're hawking on the other. I'd think that these constant marketing assaults would be far more triggering than a simple image of cupcakes.

*raises hand* fwiw I actually found your comment interesting.

(The only thing I've ever known an anorexic to be truly distressed by (though that might be considered a strssor rather than a trigger) is "having to sit by or talk to a fat person."

ED anon is sooooo anon

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, not quite anorexic but definitely recovering from an eating disorder of the starve-yourself-to-death variety (which is what a LOT of people mistake anorexia for), and I get stressed (but not triggered!) by certain foods, certain clothes, and people being JERKS to fat people.

I don't have eating disorder triggers, because the eating disorder wasn't the primary catalyst for trauma in my life. (Thankfully, people who cared about me intervened before I really, really made myself irrevocably sick.) Sure, shitty things happened, but I tend to see trauma as a baseball bat to the head, not a slow, chronic grinding with sand paper, and the latter is the ED for me.

If anything, the ED was my RESPONSE to certain triggers, because it'd numb emotions and calm me down, though in an extremely dangerous way.

Re: ED anon is sooooo anon

[silverr]

*hugs* thank you for sharing, ED anon. (Please be assured I'm entirely sincere here: I personally haven't had very much exposure to people with eating disorders, so I'm always grateful to understand more about it (so as to try not to be an inadvertent jerk.)

I've always remembered the thing I mentioned because it was told to me by a zaftig friend years ago who had an anorexic colleague who (sadly) seemed to literally be repulsed by overweight people.

[(Anonymous)]

wow, so your response to someone recovering from a disease is "well don't go on the internet what did you expect". jesus christ.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably shouldn't walk down the street either, they'd go into a seizure outside a bakery.

But seriously, people recovering from traumatic experiences should go to therapy and learn coping mechanisms because life is going to be full of triggers, and it's going to suck. But other people will not go out of their way to accommodate you, nor should they feel obligated to.

[(Anonymous)]

i'm not talking about a goddamn trigger warning from cupcakes, so stop making asshole jokes. i'm talking about people who were raped, or abused, or are really sensitive to gore and shit. plus i love how you assume people don't go to therapy either, and that it's a really quick fix and everything's alright again! most people do go to therapy for it, and those who don't likely can't afford it.

it's not accommodating, it's being a decent human being.

[baranohanayome.livejournal.com]

I'm no stranger to mental illness, being that I suffer from BPD and GAD. There are a lot of things in the world that will trigger a panic attack in me, guaranteed, that other people just would not think twice about doing around me, but rather than bitch at people for living their lives I just do my best to avoid my triggers and remove myself from the situation when unexpectedly confronted with them. Would it be nice if I got a warning before my usually-empty little cafe was suddenly swarmed with people, or before that asshole cut me off in heavy traffic and nearly caused an accident? Sure, it would be great. But it's unrealistic to expect that. The internet, being that it is populated mostly by people who probably don't have to worry about triggers and stressors themselves, isn't any different.

[motorkitty]

I've heard that it's because seeing pictures of food makes them hungry and they're supposed to be dieting? I don't really know for sure.

Although, the above response is probably more likely.

[baranohanayome.livejournal.com]

If someone is on a diet so strict and stressful that just looking at a picture of cupcakes is genuinely triggering for them, then they're probably doing it wrong and should consult a licensed nutritionist (and a therapist).

[motorkitty]

I agree that something needs to be done other than attacking people for reblogging pictures of food on the internet.

[brandiweed.livejournal.com]

Maybe if they were those cupcakes that looked like a pus-filled wound with a maggot in it.

Seriously, they're kind of nasty looking. (http://foodbeast.com/2013/10/02/creepy-cupcake-lets-you-extract-maggot-from-the-frosting/)

[diet_poison]

Looks like a botfly larva...would be fun for bio nerds. :}

I can see how it's gross, but trigger-worthy? o.O

[(Anonymous)]

the mango flavored pus was a touch of genius
