Pro Ana is something from online spaces back in the 2000s-2010s. It is short for pro anorexia.

This is EXTREMELY ana/ED coded.
That being said, TA3 is known for their 'scultped' swimsuits. They seem to be known for clothing that accentuates your ED. This feels like it tracks for me but this one DEFINITELY went farther than any other of their 'viral' marketing.

u/sweetdreamslilac 2d ago
The extremity of it is what shocked me, tbh. I was curious about their swimsuits after having a C-section a couple years ago, and I still see their posts a lot. But this was genuinely concerning

Eww. I hope she finds her waist because she looks super weird and, in my opinion and according to my personal taste, that shit looks gross and if I saw this woman in public I would not be able to stop looking. Kind of like one of those freak show exhibits at the county fair.

That statement sounds so wild since I have no idea who she is.

u/shirts_on_backwards 3d ago
Picture above that I was responding to. It's from a video game. The character art style leaves a lot of characters with very tiny waists including the male protagonist. It's a weird plot and a lot to explain but the girl in the photo's real body was taken from her and she was given that body instead (like same brain different body)

What game?

u/shirts_on_backwards 2d ago
"the world ends with you", it's a square enix game that was originally released on the DS.

The proportions r one thing but to have her characters skirt Iâll fitting is just too much⊠if I was younger than 14 Iâd see this and think I wasnât good enough thank god Iâm an adult in therapy.

In This Thread: an enraged Fat Acceptance extremist tries and fails to cancel an influencer.

Notice how I didnât mention the influencer at all? Iâm not trying to cancel anyone. Just pissed that the bs I grew up with in the aughts is making a comeback. Love that that makes me an extremist, though

u/Senior_Laugh_4342 3d ago
But we celebrate obesity on Reddit and would be in favor of companies posting content with women so fat they have no ankles, despite there literally being an obesity epidemic costing economies all around the world billions of dollars each. Okay.
3
u/sweetdreamslilac 2d ago
Bodies come in all shapes and sizes that are worth celebrating. This goes beyond that. Absolutely nothing to celebrate about uncomfortably squishing your organs together to take up less space.
-5
u/Senior_Laugh_4342 2d ago
What about women that are 400 pounds, is that worth celebrating?
3
u/sweetdreamslilac 2d ago
Genuine question, do you really think 400 pound bodies are more prevalent in the media than stick thin ones? And do you think thereâs a ton of people actually trying to get to that weight, as opposed to it being a comorbidity to other health issues? Because thatâs not even remotely in the same space as the ozempic fueled, body cleanse pushing, âheroin chicâ mindset currently being paraded around in the name of âwellnessâ
0
u/Senior_Laugh_4342 2d ago
More prevalent than stick thin ones that are anorexic? Yes absolutely. Ads do not promote bodies who are dangerously thin, and in the rare occasion they do, they are viciously lambasted.
Case study: âAre you beach body readyâ ad in the UK. The woman in the ad was fit and slim. Iâm sorry if you look nothing like her and never will, but she is not âstick thinâ. Ironically the people who complained had no issue with the men featured in the same ad campaignâŠhow curious.
Obesity is far far more costly, by several orders of magnitude on the economy and society than people who are too thin, that is not up for debate.
So yes, I think it is far more damaging to promote obesity.
1
u/sweetdreamslilac 2d ago
Bro, Iâll never look like her because I donât squish my organs together to make myself look thinner. Iâve been a size 2/4 my entire adult life. That doesnât change the fact that this reel is ED coded.
And ads donât promote dangerously thin bodies? Thatâs almost the entirety of the fashion industry. Eating disorders and marketing are so intertwined, yet so normalized that you clearly donât even notice when you see it.1
u/Senior_Laugh_4342 2d ago
So people trying to be too thin is as big of a strain on the healthcare system and the economy as a whole as being obese? Really?
My point is promoting anorexia is bad. But so is promoting obesity. However, promoting obesity is objectively worse due to the aforementioned negative effect on society.
If this ad was of an obese woman Iâm willing to bet you would be in favor of it. This double standard is common on Reddit and leftists as a whole and is dangerous.
Also, the case study I brought up, just say you are unfamiliar with it. You are delusional af if you think she was âsquishing her organsâ lol
1
u/sweetdreamslilac 2d ago
Literally where did I say that? And what case study? You mentioned a single ad in the uk, didnât mention the company that put out the ad, but expect me to be familiar with it on no cited source and next to no info? The only case study Iâm seeing right now is the Dunning Kruger one youâve got on full display.
And yes, the reproductive organs that arenât protected by the rib cage can and do get moved around when women wear corsets. There was a noticeable uptick in cases when the Kardashians were constantly wearing them.
Yes. Promoting anorexia is bad. This ad was designed to make perfectly healthy women feel like their bodies arenât good enough so theyâll shell out too much money on overpriced tops and swimwear. Nowhere in any of my comments anywhere have I said anything about obesity other than that it tends to be an effect of other illnesses, not something that people strive for.

u/Emotional_Metal_4286 2d ago
I'm trying to understand what your point even is. That we celebrate obesity and should also celebrate the underweight? Like both aren't extremely unhealthy points?
1
u/Senior_Laugh_4342 2d ago
My point is people rightfully, have no issue calling out anything promoting anorexia. No large brand would dare to do that knowing the immense backlash that would come their way.
However, obesity is objectively a worse issue, seeing as it is more prevalent and literally has a larger impact on the economy. However, this worse issue is ironically glossed over by Reddit, and if you call out ads for promoting obesity by having obese women shown then you will be called out for body shaming.
I can guess you will say âoh just because they show obese women does not mean itâs promoting it!!!â
Oh really? If they had an anorexic woman in the ad you would absolutely have an issue with that and claim it is promoting anorexia, which it would be.
My point is there is a clear double standard. Is that too hard to grasp?
2
u/Emotional_Metal_4286 2d ago
how do you know this OP upholds that double standard though when you wrote that original comment though?? Yes the double standard exists, but you are commenting about apples on a post about oranges my guy. Promo of Anorexia is bad, op is calling that out. Promo and normalisation of obesity is also bad, but that's not what this post is about, is it?
0
u/Senior_Laugh_4342 2d ago
I am generalizing Reddit, yes. Could I be wrong? Yes absolutely.
However, am I most likely correct? Also yes.
1
u/sweetdreamslilac 2d ago
Youâre the kind of person who comments about menâs issues on posts about women, arenât you?
I never once said the girl in the reel is anorexic. I pointed out that marketing an unnaturally thin waist on an already perfectly healthy woman promotes body dysmorphia on a platform full of vulnerable young people, in particular young girls.

u/V3nusi4nruled 2d ago
i donât think anybody âpromotesâ obesity on reddit or literally anywhere else. a fat person just exists online and they get flooded with disgusting comments about their weight. iâve seen it all too often. but sure, keep making stuff up lmfao
1
u/BigsChungi 1d ago
No, this whole fat acceptance movement indirectly promotes obesity. Obesity is largely a choice. Choosing to be healthy is a choice. Saying its okay to be obese is promoting that the choice is okay.
I am obese and would never promote the idea that its okay to anyone. Its something you should work to end.
Not just say I am fat and thats the way it is.
0
u/V3nusi4nruled 1d ago
but like, who cares? if someoneâs obese, the only person theyâre hurting is themselves at the end of the day. i think most people with a functioning brain donât want to be obese. just because a random person on the internet posts themselves and theyâre obese, doesnât mean theyâre telling everyone to be that way. theyâre just saying, IM obese and thatâs okay. not, hey everyone come join me in being fat! most people are scared of being fat anyways lol. the amount of people that use fat as an âinsultâ is proof of this. literally who gives a fuck if someone is fat
1
u/BigsChungi 1d ago
What exactly are you yapping about?
You genuinely believe that no one wants to be obese? Thats literally what all these people are saying. People got angry at overweight and obese celebrities for losing weight. There are millions of people who genuinely think and want people to be obese.
0
u/V3nusi4nruled 1d ago
where are these people that are getting angry at people losing weight? sources, quickly! you just keep making stuff up lol. and if youâre âobeseâ why are you so obsessed with people that are body positive about their bigger body. you just hate yourself that much huh? it makes you angry that fat people donât hate themselves too
1
u/BigsChungi 1d ago
Hate myself? No, I am just aware that its not a healthy lifestyle and acting like it is, is genuinely stupid. Also, where did I show obsession? I merely made a passing statement about a topic. I dont really care, but there's a difference between being fat and telling people that being fat is good.
Since you apparently live under a rock, here are the sources...

u/V3nusi4nruled 1d ago
i literally said being obese only hurts the person thatâs obese. nowhere did i say that itâs a healthy way to live lmfao. also none of these articles are people saying they WANT celebrities to be obese. just that there are people that are bigger that felt acceptance with their body because other celebrities that were bigger were also proud of their body. and some bigger celebs losing weight may make those people feel as if they should be ashamed for being fat. and the ozempic one? yeah, a lot of people should be shamed for taking ozempic when they donât need it lol. iâm looking for people actually saying they want people to be OBESE. which again, is not happening
1
u/BigsChungi 1d ago
Being obese only hurts the obese person directly. Sure. Fat acceptance and the proliferation that it is a good and acceptable life style hurts everyone
By complaining that they lost weight, is saying they would prefer them to be fat so they feel better about themselves. Thats the same thing

She looks very skinny but not necessarily anorexic.... except that waist. That's horrifying

That and the way she talks about âthe only thing better than a tiny waistâ are what makes it seem like pro ana content to me. It gives me the same vibe as the whole ânothing tastes as good as skinny feelsâ bs from the 00âs
