  While ana posts have undeniably dark undertones – images of flat stomachs (even the filters applied to these are darker and grainier) mixed with ones that depict self-harm – the fitspo thread is bright and bubbly. It's also consistently more highly sexualized and male-gazey (perhaps why social media's mostly male execs are more comfortable with these images).
