I am curious -- what does the description mean by "be careful not too eat too much"? Will the character simply become sick, or is this commentary on fatphobia narratives in young adulthood? Or, is the game actively promoting teen diet culture?

You could play it and form your own opinion.

I do not mean any offence. I only ask because, when I was a teenager, I almost died of an eating disorder. My heart rate was down to 20BPM, my organs auto-canibalized, and I couldn't stop exercising. If this game rewards restrictive eating / treats fatness as undesirable, then I cannot play it in sound conscience. If it is more nuanced, I'd appreaciate the elaboration. If my question seems unreasonable, then: my apologies for taking up your time.

Well, then don't play it.

I have problems with SA, and if a game seems to be about it, I would avoid it.
It would be weird for me to ask "Hey, is this game going to be in favor or against SA?" Not because im being offensive, or unreasonable, its ok to want to know if your triggers are in a piece of media.

It was just the phrasing, it sounds like limiting the scope in which the artist can talk about the themes.

If you have a trigger about anything, and want to be cautious about what you get into, that's ok. I suggest you to just think "This is going to talk about a sensitive topic I'm not ready to talk about." and come back when you feel safer. Because you never know with art, and that's kinda the point about it.

I really hope you feel better this days.
