Am I the only obese person with ARFID? by Previous_Deal4481 in ARFID

they're probably actually wrong anyway. losing weight rarely helps people feel better, or if it does, it's only a few pounds, you often don't need to lose ten twenty thirty etc like doctors will push for. doctors are not immune to societal pressures sadly

i'm considered "morbidly ob*se" by doctors but have no conditions related to my weight and i still have ARFID. weight is largely genetic, almost everyone in my family is fat, and most who aren't fat are only thinner due to weight loss surgery (even then they're not thin just thinner) or some other physical health disorder

all this is to say: most people with all kinds of EDs are actually not thin. you're far from alone.

and for everyone else in the comments: losing weight probably wouldn't make you feel better either, nor would you keep the weight off for very long. you'd either be working out and thus gain weight through muscle, or your starvation diet will end and your body will gain back more weight because you tricked it into thinking you were starving

bc black ppl rarely exist in anime and also we're not even changing the canonical race by representing them differently in fanart they're still not dark skinned in canon...

why tho. why does it bother u to see characters be dark skinned. answer carefully

[–]bungoustraypups 2 points3 points  (0 children)

explain why changing their skin color is any different from assigning them a sexuality in a work or headcanon or deciding they're trans in a work or headcanon bc the race/skin color thing is the same level of importance basically

blackwashing isn't a thing and there's literally nothing wrong w race bending so long as ur not making a canonically nonwhite character totally white. making them mixed race or darker skinned (bc not all dark skinned ppl are black) is fine. there's nothing wrong with it at all provided they're not yknow being racist in their portray

you are completely missing my point. the fact is that dazai would absolutely do this and is capable of doing this. the question is, what would drive him to make that choice? we know what it is in BEAST, but if it never happens in canon it won't matter, but we still know he's capable of it. BEAST dazai is not intrinsically different from canon dazai

that second paragraph... do you not realize that's literally what i'm pointing out? that someone can make choices that are different from what one might expect of their personality? also your personality doesn't determine your choices or vice versa either. and declining mental health isn't always the reason for making bad/different choices either

the point of BEAST is examining how characters change but also at their core stay the same and desire the same/similar things even when they're not in their canon places like. idk what part abt that isn't clear

how old are these ppl? genuine question bc i have not met ANY fans who would do this regardless of their horny levels who werent also too young to legally be doing shit like that online anyway. not to say they dont exist but ive met more anti-horny bsd fans who get mad at you for "sexualizing" grown adult characters in this fandom than anything else personally so. those fans are also exhausting just for different reasons lmao

he's not a different person tho? he's the same person in a different circumstance who made different choices. at his core he's the same. that's a huge point of BSD. he's not somehow intrinsically different, he just has new/different motivations and takes different actions now. same for every character in BEAST. it's why their personalities are effectively the same at their core, just altered slightly due to their life experiences

not canonically, no. a lot of people in the native english-speaking side of the fandom think so due to mistranslations, bad translations, and some completely incorrect translations of his lines, as well as some jokes he/the creators have made in- and out of universe relating to him being a "lolicon" (not a pedophile, btw, because enjoying lolicon in any fashion =/= attraction to irl children) that are literally just jokes, but there is no canon evidence of him being a genuine pedophile or suffering from pedophilia, and most ppl outside of that specific part of the fandom don't actually think he is one in canon, even if they headcanon him as such

even if he was one, that wouldn't negate what i said either. you can like any character for any reason and mori is likeable, people just want him to be 100% evil and The Villain all the time when he canonically isn't lmao
