\u201cIt\u2019s not a sin to want to be thin,\u201d read a recent social media bio for Liv Schmidt, a polarizing content creator who amassed more than 670,000 followers on TikTok before the company disabled her account last week.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal wrote a profile<\/a> about Ms. Schmidt on Monday in which she outlined her philosophies on dieting, including intentionally reducing calories. That led to a wave of online discourse about when promotion of ways to lose weight becomes encouragement of disordered eating and a broader discussion of where the concept of body positivity stands in the Ozempic era.<\/p>\n

The Journal reported that their inquiries about Ms. Schmidt to TikTok led that company to ban her account before the article ran, after which The Daily Mail<\/a> branded her the \u201cskinny influencer.\u201d Ms. Schmidt quickly returned to TikTok, posting videos under a different username.<\/p>\n

Long before these events, critics had insisted that Ms. Schmidt\u2019s videos posed a threat to impressionable viewers and were reminiscent of a pro-anorexia trend from the early 2000s, shortened by many to \u201cpro-ana.\u201d At that time, people openly promoted anorexic behavior, influenced by the ultrathin bodies of many models in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
