Actually it starts with a choice, the person decides (s)he is is fat (even if actually not) and starts to dies. Sometimes it works out fine and the person will stop at healthy slim. But for a lot of people, it becomes an obsession and they see themself fat even when their limbs literaly consist of a bone and some skin. Also, anorexia is not about not eating anything. They eat, but only as much as they really need to survive (no more than 1500 calories/day). They also obsessively do sports usually. Anorexia is an obsession a little like OCD or Cleptomania.

WTB edit button. In the first sentence I mean DIETS.

' starts to dies ' was better, eh.

WOW, the ignorance and idiocy of that comment is astounding. It's not a choice you freaking moron, it's a mental illness. That's like saying schizophrenics choose to see hallucinations or that people with DID choose to have multiple personalities. You're so uneducated on the subject you have no right to pass comment.

its as much of a mental illness as obesity, and its caused by lack of willpower. Weak minded individuals suffer from obesity and anorexia. And its not that hard to overcome, discipline is all it takes. Lazyass generation blaming diseases for their lack of effort.

Christ you are so deluded I'm starting to think that you might have a mental illness. It's not a lack of will power, it's an unhealthy view of one's self. Many anorexics don't know they're anorexics.

If you have this view point do you feel the same about addiction?

yup, and in my life i have been both overweight and anorexic., and really its all about having some goddamn discipline, getting over yourself, realising your mistakes and listening to other people. Its not hurr a mental illnes hurr diseas hurr.
idiots

Beg to differ. I look after men and women who suffer from major disorders and anxieties that cause anorexia. In discussions with them they understand and want to eat and be healthy, they organise action plans and set goals for the future... but as soon as they become distressed that's it, sometimes for months. We have to sedate them and feed them via a nasal-gastric tube because they'd just die.

Statistics from several sources on the page include the Entertainment Software Association, International Game Developers Association and Electronic Entertainment Design and Research. All of which hold statistics between 39% to 48%. These same studies show that females are more likely to play MMORPGs as males, more often, are FPS players.

You're really embarrassing yourself.

42% you simple buffoon.

I didn't say every. Seeing as I belong to the 'geek' community within my area, I was merely stating that females are prevalent within gamer, anime and comic book industries.

Wikipedia is the most accurate source on the planet let me go ahead and give you a medal. I forgot that wikipedia records everyone playing videogames at all times to get an accurate representation of it.

Videogames online can mean fucking farmville bro.

Almost every single one of my female friends play games. I've been going on MMOs since I was seven and discovered Runescape. Ever gone to a typical geek convention event for gaming? Around 40% of attendees are female.
You didn't even try.

You see, you only associate yourself with females who play videogames, so you think every female plays videogames. I do like how you pulled some fake percentage of women at a gamer convention out of your ass. It makes you look like you have some sort of standing.

encourage exclusion from a whole 50% of the population from buying their game? that's good business.

Most females don't even play videogames, let alone RPGs.

At least you tried.
