is actually pretty dangerous
The chaotic and indecipherable online community known as /b/ has bestowed iphone hoesjes upon us a fresh Internet horror: They call it the “bikini bridge,” and tablet samsung custodia rosa some disreputable Web sites have already cover samsung galaxy s3 neo plus christened it the custodia rigida iphone 8 plus latest beauty craze.
Here’s some quick background, for those of you uninitiated in custodia cover huawei p10 lite the ways of 4chan. 4chan is a profoundly popular, largely anonymous message board that specializes in memes and mischief.
Such is the perfect cover samsung s8 plus case of custodia cover huawei p30 lite “bikini bridge,” it seems and such is the fickle nature of truth and cover samsung s8 silicone trasparente fiction online. custodia samsung s neo 3 Per cover iphone xr The Daily Dot, this week’s rush of interest in the bridge (a term for protruding hipbones that custodia lavoro iphone 7 has existed, if quietly, since custodia samsung s5mini 2009) stems from a 4chan plot to popularize it. The plot was pretty simple: circulate bikini bridge images on social media, and then create a fake bikini bridge backlash. Watch the “controversy” explode. Sit back and read the media coverage. Laugh, presumably.
The media has indeed reported the story as a hoax or a prank, in many cases.
But writing this off as the invention of a weird Internet niche nevermind, no worries, nothing to see here totally misunderstands the information ecosystem. Online (and to a less immediate degree, in “real life”), cover samsung windows phone attention and clicks and tweets all custodia samsung s 7 edge originale beget more of the same. Maybe the “bikini bridge” wasn’t a trend when 4chan started talking about it, but it is now. The photos are cycling through “thinspo” hashtags and pro eating disorder blogs. They’ve come to the attention of the the custodia flip per samsung s3 neo National Eating Disorder Association, an organization that advocates for healthy self image.
“People with poor body image who are at risk or actively struggling with disordered eating tend to fixate on particular body parts; there is nothing new about those obsessions,” said NEDA’s Claire Mysko in an e mail. “What is new is that coined terms like ‘thigh gap’ and ‘bikini bridge’and the news articles, images, hashtags and social media comparisons that come with them have given those obsessions larger and more competitive platforms.”
Note that it doesn’t matter in the slightest where the images and hashtags started, or custodia flip iphone 6s if the fad began as “real” or “fake.”The difference between the two is malleable online. And the agitators of /b/ understand that better than anyone, which is perhaps the very purpose of so called pranks like cover samsung s4 s view this one and last year’s cuttingforbieber, in which the forum convinced many outlets that Justin Bieber fans were literally self mutilating out of love for him. (Appallingly, an indeterminable number of fans may have actually followed custodia cover iphone x xs suit.)
The bikini bridge is, in some ways, less destructive there is, as Mysko points out, nothing at all best cover samsung galaxy s8 novel about this type of unhealthy and unrealistic image, which fans brand “thinspiration.” But the genre as a whole is still dangerous, NEDA warns, and its origins don’t make it any less worrisome. If anything, 4chan’s effortless orchestration custodia samsung galaxy j5 (2016) of a dangerous trend should worry observers cover samsung galaxy s5mini more.
“This should cause large enough of a stir to snowball into a fairly big subject,” reads the 4chan post that started it all. “Target NYers, weight loss pages/groups (as a “goal”), etc. These people already hold a predisposition.”..
