EDTWT

I’m sure the majority of us know what edtwt is regardless of if we have been a part of it in the past, present or at all, but essentially it is eating disorder twitter.

It’s known to be one of the more intense and troubling online ED communities to be a part of, and personally I myself do have an account that is quite prevalent in the community. (side note, i heard MPA has closed?)

We all know as EC uses twitter regularly and that a great deal of the accounts who interact with her account are a part of the community, but today i stopped thought and thought about how edtwt’s perception of EC could make a good discussion here.

I’ve seen people say that her bone structure is horrendous, that her BMI must be under X amount, speculation on the details of her diet, and the majority of the community hating her and talking down her appearance rather than idolizing her. The community is know to be especially harsh and judgemental of others bodies, to be fair.

I’m curious about each of your involvement with the community and comments you’ve seen about her there and your opinions. I often see people saying how she’s creating thinspo for these people, and don’t get me wrong, she ABSOLUTELY IS. i just thought it would be interesting conversation how many negative and disgusting comments she gets even by that community, whether it be for features out of her control, or due to the disordered person still seeing her body as too skinny.
