I am not blaming anyone else for my disorder, I am responsibel for it. However, it is ableist to tell people that because they have a mental health issue with something they should just avoid it. I never said they had to change it or anything, it would be great if they did but it is too late. But i DO NOT think that i should just ingore it and be quiet about it. This is a major issue in society and if everyone was just quiet about these issues, things would never change. I have a voice, and I am going to use it.
That is the same as telling a minority that they should jsut avoid racism video games or a homosexual they should avoid homophobic video games. It is ableism.
No one is discriminating against you. You also have every right to voice your opinion on the matter. Who said you didn't? You have every right to send petitions, emails or any other device you wish to use to show your displeasure. However, what you cannot do is force media to change or omit women who are too thin, have too skinny of arms, legs and torso. To do so is telling women who
are those things that
they have the wrong body type. There has to be an equal medium where all body types are appreciated and celebrated. Granted, I find her too skinny for my taste, but there are women out there who have arms that are ultra skinny. I am more concerned as to why her thighs are out of proportion to the rest of her body, but oh well. When I said you should ignore it, I didn't mean you don't have the right to voice your opinion. I meant that if it is a health issue for you, for your own safety, you should avoid it. Stop being hyper-sensitive.

I'm sorry. I don't agree with this at all. Having skinny people in video games isn't discriminatory against people with eating disorders. Again, if this game is triggering and detrimental to your health, then for those reasons you should avoid it.
