Nuance Needed

33. We Need to Talk About SkinnyTok


Listen Later

IDK about you but we have THOUGHTS about SkinnyTok trend on Tiktok and how its infiltrating other social media platforms. In this episode, we're diving into the why this trend is problematic and how it's impacting our relationship with our bodies and food.

In conversation, we tackle:

- Why glorifying thinness as the ultimate goal is a dangerous path to self-hate

- How phrases like "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" are eating disorder dog whistles

- The misrepresentation of body positivity and intuitive eating concepts

- Some influencers behind this harmful trend and their tactics

- Why basing happiness on appearance creates a foundation that inevitably crumbles

- The connection between SkinnyTok and other conservative-rooted trends

- Practical ways to approach content that inspires rather than influences
