Does the pro-ana movement think men should be anorexic too?[edit]

Just think this should be mentioned somewhere in the article.--ZeroIsLogic (talk) 01:18, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

I think that there should be a content warning at the top of the page[edit]

Have it say, "This article contains information that could be potentially be triggering to people with eating disorders. Eating disorders like Anorexia and Bulimia are mental illnesses that can be treated". Have eating disorder crisis lines available. --Non-Binary EAS Creator (talk) 19:59, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. We have a similar thing with the article on suicide, so why not? LongStylus (talk) 21:01, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
Neutral - Anorexia is nowhere near as bad as suicide. Also, these warning signs make the article look less clean. Nonetheless, anorexia is still a problem that needs to be taken seriously, so I certainly wouldn't object to it being on, I just wouldn't push for it. --Andrew5 (talk) 21:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm in favour of this and more content warnings. Some might say that they are out of keeping with RW's rough and ready style, but foul-mouted and sarcastic doesn't have to mean being carelessly damaging. Plus, content warnings would give the usual rightwing dipshits conniptions, which is a bonus. Queexchthonic murmurings 21:09, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
It looks like we have a consensus to add a warning box, so I did it, using RZ94's wording. Feel free to make changes to it. I agree with Queex that more content warnings on different articles would be welcome.LongStylus (talk) 02:04, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
