User:Stealthysis/pro-mia/


This userbox encourages bulimia (or at least identifies the user as someone who does). I can't see why we would permit it to be advertised in our community. It's one thing to acknowledge suffering from an eating disorder--that's healthy. It's quite another to be promoting them as good. The pro-mia meme has been destructive in giving a sense of encouragement to those who struggle with distorted body image and self-harming health habits. I don't think we should permit the meme's spread.

 * Delete per nom. The actual harm caused by this userbox is questionable, but I can't see any good coming from it either. We're better off discouraging such things. Robofish (talk) 21:38, 27 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Is this as bad as promoting nazism or pedophilia? No. But it promotes pretending a serious psychological condition than can have extremely adverse health effects as just a "lifestyle choice." Couple that with the fact that the only user who choses to display it appears to have left the project over a year ago and there is simply no good reason to keep this.
