It's also a safe place for people with BED. People all over the weight spectrum. People who would feel like absolute shit with reverse thinspo posted.

So no.

^^^^^ MPA is a safe place for people with EDs. ALL EDs, including BED and EDNOS. How would they feel with reverse thinspo being posted. If you want to view reverse thinspo that's fine but rules are for a reason, it would hurt many people and not make it a safe place for everyone. I agree with Bibliophile.

Why is regular thinspo and diet tips allowed then? Not very supportive either really
If you don't like it, bring it up with admin. I'm not saying I'm a fan of other things on here but fat shaming is damaging to members on a personal level.

The thread linked explains why more.

oh boy lemme get my claws into this one

hi i'm thorny, i was severely bulimic for five years and lost a lot of weight :)

then i had CBT for bulimia, and because of several comorbid mental illnesses, developed BED as an alternative coping mechanism, along with several other unhealthy things like self-harm and addiction.

then, fun times!!!!! i gained 170lbs in about a year because of my BED!!!! which for someone with a bulimic mindset was just!!! so much fun!!!!!! i can't believe how many suicide attempts that caused, hahaha, i love hospitals so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!

.......

i was improving with intensive 16hr/week therapy. then, my dad called me fat, and even though i know very well that i am medically morbidly obese (because - get this - i live in this body!! crazy right???), merely hearing his offhand comment pushed me into a two-week water fast, after which i binged and purged for the first time in three years :)

now imagine how much a reverse-thinspo thread, full of pictures of people who look like me, with my body type, being commented on by skinny girls going "eeewwww i'd fucking kill myself if i looked like that lol" would impact my mental health!!! how much fun that would be!!!!!!!!!
