\"Typical<\/a>
Typical thinspiration images found on social networking and blogging sites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last month, pro-diversity modelling agency<\/a> Talent Management was happy to hear that blog hosting platform Tumblr announced plans to ban \u2018thinspiration\u2019 material, following in the footsteps of Facebook.<\/p>\n

Thinspiration, or \u2018thinspo\u2019, takes many hideous forms, from images and video montages of skinny models or celebrities – who range from being naturally thin to a protruding-bone level of emaciated – to supposedly \u2018inspirational\u2019 anti-fat posts, mantras and quotes, which are equally disturbing.
\n
\nGiven the fact that Pro-Ana websites, which promote the eating disorder anorexia nervosa, more often than not feature thinspiration images, we think the ban was much needed and applaud Tumblr\u2019s strong stance on the matter.<\/p>\n

However, the decision was met with reservations, as some expressed worries that these posts would not disappear, but instead would simply move to equally popular content sharing site Pinterest.<\/p>\n

A couple of days ago, however, Pinterest also announced that from April 6th they too will ban content that they believe \u201ccreates a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to yourself, to any other person, or to any animal\u201d.<\/p>\n

The team at Talent Management carried out a search for ‘thinspiration’ on both of the sites today, and unfortunately we were still met with page after page of sickening material.<\/p>\n

And what\u2019s worse, since being very recently banned from Pinterest, as well as Facebook and Tumblr, thinspiration seems to have found a forth platform in a site called Statigram.<\/p>\n

According to the Huffington Post<\/a>, a search for the tag \u2018thinspo\u2019 on Statigram brings up over 30,000 images, while tags including \u2018ana\u2019, \u2018thin\u2019 and \u2018thinspiration\u2019 also through up scary photos in their thousands.<\/p>\n

At the moment, Statigram\u2019s community guidelines aren\u2019t following its competitors\u2019 lead by disallowing self-harm images and content. Instead, it simply addresses nudity and mature content, stating: \u201cRemember that our community is a diverse one, and that your photos are visible to people as young as 13 years old. While we respect the artistic integrity of photos, we have to keep our product and the photos within it in line with our App Store\u2019s rating for nudity and mature content.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope that Statigram cotton on and also make a stance in the hope that scary quotes and images of ridiculously skinny models will begin to lessen across the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
