Eugenia Cooney - glamorizing anorexia?

and HOW did she survive covid? (some earlier posts)

it's a shame bc she's a pretty girl. obsessed with Disney, immature, but if she gained 90 lbs she'd be gorgeous.

This is such a f**ked thing to say. It’s a shame because it’s extremely unlikely she’ll make it to 30. If she gained 90 pounds she might have a chance, but most likely the damage has already been done.

She's an adult. Not photoshopped, she is that skeletal

I watched a couple of her lives. I really don’t think she “glamorizes” anorexia. She talks avoid being involuntarily committed and generally about the fact she’s not in recovery but none of it in a way I think is encouraging it.

I honestly don't understand how her heart hasn't given out yet.

She should have been yanked off every platform years ago. She is 29 years old and it's amazing she functions in that condition after all these years. Nobody is interested in her little "fashion shows" or how she wears cheap children's costumes for clothing. The only reason anybody watches is out of voyeurism and she and her enabling mother know exactly how to capitalize on it.

Omg. She is disgusting and terrifying.

Even the most "pro-ana" boards 20+ year ago would have shied away from this. It's way beyond "thinspo" and really, really scary.

Honestly I’m surprised she is still alive since this was originally posted 7 years ago.

I'm middle aged and 2 years ago had never heard of this woman. Would never have clicked on the original thread.

My early teen DD was using my Youtube account on my phone to look up some Algebra help videos for several days early this year when we were away from home. She also looked up how to make some bracelets and a few some art videos, suddenly the next day I have Cooney's video suggested to me as something I may like. When I first saw her, I thought she was dying of cancer. Normally my feed is filled with lectures and subjects I like.

Why is looking up things that young girls would like, triggering a suggestion by the algorithm that I may like Cooney's videos?

I know the answer. The platforms are more than willing to allow her as long as she makes them money.

I agree with you and you know what’s crazy? My kid started using my and my husbands YouTube accounts for looking up gaming videos (Minecraft and Roblox mostly and a mobile game that he sometimes plays as well), chess stuff, kids educational type videos about the solar system and weather - just really average elementary school boy interests. And he started being recommended videos from fairly far right figures like Ben Shapiro and Praeger U on our accounts. Neither my husband nor myself would watch that and my kid has never shown any interest in politics or news or really anything beyond games and kids stuff. It’s weird because it goes away and then it comes back. So videos glamorizing eating disorders must be the equivalent for girls.
