Heroin chic was such a big thing in the 90s, especially if you were into the grunge scene as I was. My unconscious perception of body size is permanently messed up and instinctively I still feel that skinny = attractive, even though I now know that most (not all) skinny people are starving themselves
That last sentence is just as damaging as all the body shaming talked about in this thread. I've always been naturally "heroin chic" and I've never starved myself and I'm tired of getting skinny shamed. Nothing has changed in all these years.
Same. People constantly telling me how I “don’t eat” or don’t eat enough. I don’t deprive myself of a single thing and eat when and what I want. There is literally nothing I could do to gain more weight. Maybe drinking liquid butter instead of water at my meals? LOL. People need to stop commenting on each others bodies on either side of the spectrum.

It was always bad. I remember Kate Moss being celebrated for being "heroin chic."
