So I was slightly shocked today, looking through the news feed and come across a set where there is a girl with a clearly eating disorder allowed to post a set up.
My first thought is it shouldn't be allowed, is this promoting underweight glamor?
My second thought is the opposite, more aimed at the girl rather than the viewers. If she was not allowed her set would this knock what low self esteem she has already? It's hard to look at without getting upset. This is clearly a beautiful woman who has a serious problem due to truma in her life or a distorted view of what woman should look like. I hate to feel I'm judging her, as this is not my intention, but more as a plea for the lovely young woman to get help before its to late.

I think your concern comes from a very kind place, but it's easy to just straight to 'eating disorders' when looking at a site with models. Her weight could be because of anything, from drug problems to a possible medical issues. No one knows. It's could be completely out of her control. She could be fighting to be okay with the way she looks. Either way, getting a set up is a difficult process, that she took the time to go through. I'm sure your concern is coming from a good place but if they put limits on how thin a girl can be, they'd also have to put limits on how big a girl could be. Which seems to go against the whole idea of this site.

I totally understand where you are coming from, my main concern is the well being of this girl, but an over weight girl is in less immediate danger than a seriously under weight one. it's a very sensitive subject, and just want to be clear I mean no disrespect by this.
