Is it better to be dead or alive with this condition? I'd like to hear her answers in an interview. Off to search! Looks mean absolutely nothing, if she has a good sense of humor she could pull off some sick scares Halloween, that's what I'd do. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I imagine she must get nutrition at night from a nasogastric tube. Or maybe her body has adapted enough to survive through the night on her last big meal. Quite an interesting story - I am quite certain this is a metabolic disorder and I wonder which gene(s) she's defective in. | ||

While you may find it difficult to look at, responding with ridicule is not acceptable. That you think it is speaks volumes about the ugliness that exists inside yourself. I love you. Not for bringing the ban hammer, but for that last line. | ||

People see her IRL every day and there's not a damn thing they can do about it because it's her human right to - you know - exist. And now childish little kids come on forums and say that it's too much for them? Give me a break. If we had to hide ugly people we'd have to shut down all the "post your picture" and "post a picture of you and your girlfriend" threads on every forum ever. No one is saying "hide ugly people". Sure, the guy who remarked about losing his 20/20 vision or whatever was certainly being a jerk, but it's not unreasonable to ask for images showing disfigured people or people with diseases that dramatically affect their appearance to be spoilered. Images like these are quite gruesome and can be unsettling. Is it that hard to believe that people have different tolerance thresholds for these kinds of things? Sure, some people might say she has to live with it while all I have to do is look at a picture. But it's not a zero-sum game. It's not like she suffers less just because I suffer a little, or vice-versa. Movies with graphic imagery are often given R ratings when they show disfigurement and stuff like that. Not everyone has a high resilience to gruesome/gory imagery. It has nothing to do with respect or lack thereof. For example, I think most people would rather not see the torture that occurred in concentration camps during the Holocaust. It doesn't mean we don't think those things didn't happen or that we understate the gravity of such things. | ||

I agree with what you are saying, but if you examine the way people were reacting to the pictures in the thread, they were all hostile and insulting. I would also argue that putting them in spoilers would enhance the "car wreck" mentality of people, and create even more negative reactions to the pictures. | ||

legitimately the food and calories must go somewhere - does she just poop a lot or does her body still find a way to burn those calories internally also i understand manifesto's point but there was really no warning in the title that people would be exposed to somewhat shocking pictures | ||

Please spoiler unsightly images, and NSFW." "spoiler those fucking images god damn, no one wants to see that and if they make the mistake of clicking the spoiler at least they'll have a sense of "I am the curious cat that was killed" | ||
