We like to think we’ve moved past the harmful body standards of Tumblr-era thinspo... but SkinnyTok proves we haven’t. It’s just repackaged - softer, sleeker, and labeled as “wellness.” These “what I eat in a day” videos aren’t harmless inspiration, they’re often disordered behavior hidden under pretty filters and soft lighting. And the scariest part? The algorithm loves it. It pushes these messages to millions, framing restrictions and self-criticism as health. But if you have to starve to be “that girl,” maybe that trend was never empowering to begin with.
