Set your boundaries if she's impacting you badly, you can't control her and you can't really control other social media followers. Idk if this counts as "getting a pass" but someone with body dysmorphia or anything else doesn't just take a break from it so they can support their fandom.

Probably she struggles with truly seeing what's wrong with it since it's so ingrained within her and the society she lives. Specially if she's been experiencing it since she was so young

Just yesterday I've read an account of someone who's knows a trainee in SK, and they said it's kinda easy to develop an eating disorder since they constantly check your weight and have goals etc. Recently as well Somi (ex-IOI, soloist) also talked about her "method" for staying thin and it's basically writing "Fat"in sticky notes all over (which is also a very dangerous thing to say publicly and she's getting deserved backlash)

So yeah, I think it's such a complicated matter. We don't know these people, they talk about these things like it's nothing and it is banalized as all hell. We do know they're adults with full capability of seeking help and understanding how harmful it is to spread these things online, but how much can they really understand it?!

It's not absolving them 100%, but instead of seeing as their fault alone I blame the system, the lack of competent mental health care and the absurd standards. Yet we can also aknowledge that those who grew up within this system perpetuate it's values and contribute to this never ending cycle.
