Meghan Trainor: "I tried to go anorexic for three hours"

[Laceface 2,964]

The wording is definitely a problem, people shouldn't use disorders synonymously with things like this. It's pretty ignorant. It's like when someone says I'm feeling depressed or I'm depressed when they purely feel a slight bit of temporary sadness for 10 minutes..

If I was fat, and was told that "If I lost ten pounds, I'd be hot" I would take it as quite a compliment. I don't get her.

Suppose a Christian told a gay "You'd be a good person and I'd love to be your BFF, if only you'd cut out the sinful gay thing." That's a compliment too, isn't it?

"It's pretty ignorant. It's like when someone says I'm feeling depressed or I'm depressed when they purely feel a slight bit of temporary sadness for 10 minutes.."

But usage has moved in that direction. People used to "have the blues" now they "feel depressed". There is no clear boundary between depression as a bio-medical condition and and being temporarily sad and miserable.

Supposing she said "I tried to starve myself" - would you get all offended on behalf of 3rd world victims of famine and say it's insensitive to equate dieting with real famine?

Or "I fasted" - you know fasting in a religious practice, how dare she appropriate that culture for a mere diet?

[Benji 20,113]

It took me months to become bulimic is this girl for real?

[uo111 5,265]

She is great. Just an all around genuine person.

 

It's a good thing the rest of the world loves her. She isn't b---hy or skinny enough for the gay's affection.

except being fat has health issues apart from just affecting the way you look. incorrect a--logy.

and I'm sure nobody wants to be fat, and I wonder how many fat people really do not want to change that about themselves (your example is like apples and oranges.)

[Miel 15,009]

I honestly get what she's saying, bad choice of wording aside.

[JEWRJEWR 5,663]

Waiting for Demi's response.

LMAOOO

Are you ****ing kidding me?

 

EDIT: On a second though, it wasn't as bad as the title made it sound.
