     y'all say this every other damn day the problem with shedtwt is that it glorifies self-harming and eat disorders. the subtwts are very anti-recovery, not to mention a lot of people on edtwt are violently fatphobic.

     Hot take canceling people for having secret shedtwt accounts is stupid unless they are actively encouraging people to sh or starve
