Some people really has a problem

No really, they do.
I wanted to check de Bones fandom, so I've tried a "search" by interest in LJ, and WTH!!!??? I've found several comms pro anorexia and bullimics (try itif you don't believe me, just write "Bones" and seach for interest). People is sick, they really are, that's not a game or something to play with and it makes me very sad and angry to read communities descriptions such as:
- "World's Largest Pro Anorexia Site - 24 hr Posting"
- "Remember, nothing tastes as good as thin feels"

Thanks god there were also others about help and support for people suffering these kind of  eatings disorders.
Sorry, but it's really a touchy subject and I just can't stand the idea of some girls (or guys) killing themseves slowly that way.

Oh, sweety. I can't even remember why I have you in my flist -- Harry Potter fandom, maybe? (you're awesome, anyway :) ), but. LJ is composed mainly by a) fandom, b) geeks, c) depressive teenagers with some kind of ed. Almost any non-fandom related interest search will lead you to proana comms. LJ is literally filled with them. I love yoga and cooking -- try searching for those, it's insane. But... well, what can you do. *sigh*

Hahahahaa, I suppose our mutual nexus is HP or any other fandom (even if I can't remember either when I friended you, but anyway, you are awesome too so let's congrat our self in our awesomeness LOL)
My problem with this kind of comm (a part of the obvious reasons already listed) is that I remember a few years ago when LJ directions kind of went all crazy and AWOL and decided to ban lots of fandom communities because they were dangerous and bla bla bla... But ey! It's alright to do anorexia and bulimia campaign.
