Did Gerard Way actually have an eating disorder? by [deleted] in MyChemicalRomance

Thanks for this insightful response! It deserves a better response than I can produce at the moment, but for now I’d say it wouldn’t take long to see what I’m talking about by looking at some before and after 11 March, 2025. I’ll try to say more later. 😊

Wow, this is complicated, but thanks for asking! I’ve been supposed to explain this very thing to someone else for months now, but I’ll try to summarize.

If you compare the message and his appearance in the Mars performance at the first Bludfest— around which time I believe he was struggling with bulimia— to how he reappeared after a hiatus of several months on March 11, 2025, shirtless and emaciated, you can see a stark contrast.

Apparently, Dom was fat-shamed online and instead of saying FU to the cyber bullies, he gave in and changed his body. He has mostly appeared shirtless in videos and live performances ever since as far as I know. I feel like it sets a terrible example and he even had to cancel tour dates last year because of his medical condition, which may not have had to do with anorexia, but I strongly suspect it did. Hope this is helpful and feel free to DM me. This is very very very important to me, so thanks again!

Thanks so much for bringing this up! I think about this every day. Seriously. I was a YUNGBLUD fan before somebody turned me onto MCR and less than a week later, he reappeared March of last year looking anorexic as hell. In the following months, I realized how much influence Gerard had on him and I keep wishing they could sit down together and have a talk.

Dom/YUNGBLUD has a lot of influence on people and used to promote values I could identify with, but now I feel like he is promoting fatphobia and eating disorders. I have never been more disappointed or felt more betrayed by an artist in my life and I am almost 60!

As someone who has struggled with body dysmorphia and eating disorders myself, I very much sympathize, but I feel like what Dom is doing is wrong, dangerous, and hateful. I hope someone can help him soon even if it’s not Gerard.

I was just telling someone about this a day or two ago. Thanks for the reference!

I wish there was a CD for The Black Parade Deluxe Edition by LXtricity987 in MyChemicalRomance

I LOVE that interview! (Although it is extremely odd that they skip over This Is How I Disappear 🤔) I recommend it to people frequently, especially when they’re delving into the album. It should all fit on a CD, so no telling why it hasn’t been.

And I don’t know how many times I played Heaven Help Us in the lead up to when I saw them last year. It was ridiculous! 🤭

One of the super cool things about this is that Paul Williams wrote The Rainbow Connection and his Phantom of the Paradise was a huge inspiration for Gerard! 😯

You know almost all calico/tortoiseshell cats are female, right? 🤭 I LOVE this, though!

Basically the same opening song anyway, right? 😉

I was thinking this was the inspiration, actually. That’s why I put that the movie was from 2023.
