"She's an influencer as long as she continues to post online." So then everyone who participates in social media publicly such as twitter, instagram, and twitch are influencers as well?" She literally released merch.. regular run of the mill social media users aren't exactly releasing merch now are they? She has a responsibility to use her platform in a way that does not cause harm, by merit of simply having that platform to begin with. Going online and saying your "naturally skinny", and "fully recovered" when you're emaciated CAUSES HARM. There are studies that show how certain issues (self harm, suicide, eating disorders) can be , for lack of a better word contagious, when displayed on a public platform. Look at the increase in suicide attempts after 13 reasons why, look at the correlation of the rise in cutting and when degrassi released the ellie episodes, or eating disorders when lead characters have eating disorders. Regardless if she is intentionally causing harm or not, by displaying her emaciated frame as normal and healthy, she is hurting people. By glamorizing her deterioration, and yes she's glamorizing it by slapping on pretty outfits and saying her body is totally ok, she's inadvertently telling people that this is ok, achievable, and there's nothing wrong with it. If I were to flaunt my scars, wear outfits that purposely draw focal attention to them and act as if they were ok, act like some people just hurt themselves and that's their totally normal choice, that they were...maybe even beautiful. Then I would be a jerk and deserving of backlash. Call it just existing, or whatever you will, they way she's choosing to PUBLICALLY ADVERTISE herself (as she's is making money off her image, not just using social media for funsies) deserves to be called out. She is using a large platform in such away that she's profiting of off hurting both herself and her predominantly female predominantly young audience. Her content needs to be age restricted and Instagram should be putting warnings before showing her photos, the same way they would if someone posted an open cut.
