so to the bone comes out next month and it's focus is on eating disorders. after everything with 13 reasons why (including a copycat suicide happening) I'd like to know what people think about netflix's new take on mental illness.
personally, I do think there needs to be more on mental illness, but netflix aren't doing it the right way. I watched 13 reasons why (I knew I shouldn't have but I'm a self destructive piece of ****) and I was left feeling badly triggered and the aftermath was definitely not fun for me. I am aware there was trigger warnings but netflix were told not to show the r*pes / suicide on screen as it is both triggering and gives people ideas, but they did it anyway.
Even the trailer for to the bone has triggered me (I'll probably still watch it though bc as I said before, self destructive piece of ****), and I find it cruel and disgusting that they hadn't Lilly Collins, someone who had preciously suffered with an ED, lose weight for the role (yes she could have turned it down but eating disorders never 100% go away and having someone who's recovered lose that weight again is dangerous)
I would like to see how they portray this side of mental health issues, but at the same time, after 13 reasons why, I do not have high hopes
