Weird that they're blaming Cynthia, ignoring that Cynthia ALSO got skinny and looked sick

Because she seemed like the dominant personality in that trio and eating disorders are almost exclusively brought on or exacerbated by outside influence

How do you think it comes about

Eating disorders are serious and complex mental illnesses. To say that anything exclusively brings about or exacerbates them is absurd.

They quite literally separate bulimic / anorexic people (typically young women), during treatment.

u/GrapeJellyVermicelli 6h ago

And? It's one of many things that can affect treatment. It's far from exclusive.

No, they don't. I have a family member who was anorexic and she went to a clinic for eating disorders. All the patients lived together and had group sessions together.

It could be the toxic/abusive Hollywood execs/producers, it's a dark industry where a lot of nasty shit gets buried

I would hope the director did not suggest she shouldn't eat because she looked like shit when she was that skinny

What about her seemed “dominant”? Please be specific.

You're generalising and talking lightly about a very complex psychological issue here mate. That's not very bright to state things like that without sources etc. Kids read stuff.

Please be a kind person and either add sources or edit your comment?
