"Bulimia" pissing me off

RIP MangaRock June 17, 2020 9:04 pm

The fact that they keep calling this bulimia, and the sentence "rare disease, only exists in two people in the world" is seriously pissing me off. Bulimia is an eating disorder where they have binging episodes and then vomit it all afterwards, and it's very serious. Not this "eating anything and everything without limit, perpetually hungry" bullshit.

    Yeah I think they're depicting something closer to Prader-Willi syndrome... but there are a lot of other symptoms they're missing

    It was explained before... it's a fictional disease in a fictional word of a fiction.

    The problem is it's the name of an actual illness in this REAL world. It would have been fine if the symtoms were listed correctly, or if they used the correct name of that eating disorder, or even if they made up a completely new name, but they did not. And it's such a well known illness too, with a bit of basic research the translator should have known not to call it "bulimia".

    Well, it's true that the naming was quite unfortunate, gotta admit that.

    This disease was already compared to bulima nervosa in the link I provided above so it's not actually off with the name
