The abuse and misuse of A BODY REVOLUTION

Firstly , I'd just like to say a big paws up to Mother Monster and every genuine monster out there who has took part in a Body Revolution. It is a wonderful thing to love and accept yourself and I couldn't be happy for you! The problem I am noticing is the abuse and misuse of this. Some people in my view are posting pictures of people with anorexia, bulimia , obesity , illness & disabilities for the thumbs up and possibly to get notice by Mother Monster. Having had friends who suffered from anorexia I find this totally and utterly despicable. Your exploiting them for your own self-ego to get as many likes as possible. For those genuine monsters who are posting pictures of themselves , especially those who are posting pictures and discussing bullying that is actual them or actual happened! Keep your paws up for those fake posts and pictures , you are a coward. It is shameful and it is making a mockery of this beautiful thing Gaga has created.

I was just thinking about this, when I found this discussion! I'm kind of worried how "pro-ana" (as in anorexic people, who really think anorexia not an illness, but a lifestyle) -people are going to use this wrongly, just to gain attention and acceptance for their way of living.

I noticed that too! Though, I always wonder, you can't judge someone's story just by looking at them, so I doubt myself if it is true or not.

I have been insecure nearly all my life about my looks & I am a very shy person! I posted a picture of myself as I am today. Because I am proud of who I am & what I've accomplished. I've been over 100+kg also I've battled with anorexia & bulimia since I was 15 BUT my post is to show how far I have come & I'm almost recovered. For me posting what I did was a MASSIVE deal & it was the first time honestly I've ever looked at myself directly in the mirror. I want to show people that no matter what they're struggling with it will get better & they can overcome anything even though it sometimes may be very hard! I meant no disrespect by posting it, nor did it for attention seeking. Just genuine compassion & for the body revolution. I know how hard it is to have sever body image issues. I want to support people going through what I went through but also ANYTHING they need advice or support with! I do agree with you on the fact of people just posting them for attention or to get noticed by Gaga but who are we really to judge what another person goes through? If anyones posting pictures for attention or theyre 'fake' PLEASE STOP! Its not fair on others & pretty disrespectful of you. I don't mean to be unkind in any of this comment either, it's just how I feel & my opinion. I respect EVERY ONE OF YOU Xx

Everyone comes to this website for a reason. 99% with good intention. You do not know why someone has posted what they have, you can only assume. So don't judge someone for what they post. Those with good bodies, most of them have done something to get them and feel proud to have gotten that way. Those posting pictures not of themselves, well that happens under ever topic, in my opinion they do it because that picture inspired them in someway that they wanted to share it to inspire others, not to get more likes. This site is looking at the good in everyone, accepting everyone, and most of all accepting and loving ourselves and I truly believe that 99% of us are here for those reasons. Don't question someone's motives if you don't know them. That's a way of judging someone, and that's the last thing we need.

what bothers me is that there are teens 'minors' taking and posting pictures of themselves in their skibbies (underwear) which isnt smart or safe to do on any site! even on here people can take photos and put them on a pedo site!...just there needs to be some regulation with that!

Derez@derez 13y

I saw that. It gets frustrating at times because I know a lot of us want to get notice by Gaga, but posting up fake pictures isn't the right thing to do. We're on this site to be honest and loving with each other. Let's not overshadow other people just because we want to be noticed..Paws Up all you Monsters that just had the confidence to show yourselves and share your experiences. An inspiration to all of us :)

Trisha Duffy@trishalovely 13y

with what sam said some people might be posting their bodies with no flaws because they have been mistreated and think that they are ugly when their not and they might be told that because they have muscles they are ugly and fat so they might not be fishing for compliments they might be genuinely upset

Lucas Andrade@lucasandr 13y

A BODY REVOLUTION could mean everything. Monsters just need to be careful about posting photo of other people. Post your own photos, if your fat or thin, if you achieve the weight you wanted to have or not..!

A BODY REVOLUTION could mean everything. Just be carefu

Yes this makes sense..

PetiteMonstre@petitmonstre21 13y

I think, while you may have valid points, it's not a huge deal. Some people may be posting for likes, but I'm sure a lot of people are just posting those pictures as examples of other inspiring people. And some people may be posting pics that are "flaw free" for compliments, but others may just be getting in the spirit of body revolution and saying they are proud of their bodies--as we all should be. I guess my point is you can't really tell people's motivation, so let's not jump to negative conclusions and instead embrace the positivity of body revolution.

Sarah Carolann McCleskey@sarahmccleskey1 13y

Unfortunately, it happens. Someone always takes advantage of something do pure, innocent, good. I'm also disgusted about it too, but I choose to ignore and give no likes. Unless they ask for my opinion or vent inappropriate to me. I appreciate your support of the real BR movement which is here to stay. Remember btw baby! Thanks for kudos to show your support! Love ya littlemonster friend. Thanks for sharing! Hugs! <3

Firstly I would like to say if anyones doing it for there ego its you, there purpose is to support people with there issues I'm sure no one is thinking that hey I'm gonna get lots of thumbs up. You are making a mean assumption. I quite frankly your assumption is rude. Even if you thought that was why they were doing it its very rude to just assume it and then make a post about it. You don't know the reasoning behind it and I don't see why you should make a big fuss over it. This site is for many things one being in my mind that people have the right to express themselves. Untill you are fimiliar with every single person on this website on a very personal level then you should only assume that what they post on here is for good cause instead of accusing people that love mother monster as abusers on the website.

Sam@sam666 13y

I noticed that too, but also i want to add that there's monsters out there who are posting picture's of themselves with their flaw free muscular bodies, i dont believe this is really contributing to the cause, if anything its having the opposite effect, these people know who they are and it's more than obvious they're abusing the use of the 'Body Revolution' just so they can fish for compliments. If anything it's just going to make us monsters with not-so-flaw-free bodies less confident than we already are, I wish they'd stop doing it

Garrett Spaulding@garrettspaulding03 13y

I have battled with food my entire life! I'm a binge eater and I struggle every day! I use to weigh 275 and now I weigh 190! Back in May 2012 I was 175 and since then I have gained 15lbs! I can't seem to find a balance with eating. I'll eat healthy for days and then I'll have a sugar craving!! I'll binge on junk food for a few days, then back to eating healthy! It's like a vicious cycle! I've also came to the conclusion that it's based on my moods/emotions! Ohh and not to mention I work @ a grocery store 60hrs a week! :-/ Any advice guys?

marcelo@marceloposada 13y

Agree. Peace.

Alexandra@desra 13y

I think people are thumbs upping in support that they have the courage to bare their most inner fears and vulnerability to the public without hiding anymore.

Tearz@tears 13y

I didn't even know this was going on. I'm shocked....tbh I don't even know what to think of some "monsters."

JOHAAAANNA<3@johanna89 13y

Yes I commented on the girl who posted the little girl with no arms or legs and asked if she even knew the girl and she didnt. I looked back now and my comment was deleted. I guess you really cant speak your mind on this site...
