a term most commonly seen on Ed twitter and occasionally on tumblr and tiktok, usually people between the ages of 14-23 encouraging others to starve themselves using meanspo and thinspo.

many of them have never been in the overweight bmi range, and some even start already underweight, those who do commonly shame others for their SW (starting weight) even if they are far below said SW

A lot of these people self identify as "fatphobic and proud" ( fat is usually anyone over a bmi of 18)

Pro ana idealologys have been in media since the 1980s (probably even before) and became popular in the early 2000s, which is why most definitions of proana on this site made before 2017 will have positive undertones about the whole "movement", and those that paint it in a more negative light, will have a negative like to dislike ratio.

Pro ana has picked up again in the last year with the popularity of the "coquette" and "y2k" aesthetics, and models such as bella hadid (who allegedly had a ed tumblr account a while back) and kate moss

however, the meaning of pro-ana can range from raiding the profiles of those who arent thin enough and "harassing" them (i use this term lightly as its never really that bad and doesn't happen often) to simply complaining about the struggles that anorexia can cause and getting support and sympathy from others who can relate, or simply just posting food/outfit polls to take peoples mind of things.
