Ukuvalwa kwe-Instagram umxholo othile bekungeyonto ukuba akukho mpikiswano (njengokuvalwa kwabo okuhlekisayo kwi-#Curvy). Kodwa ubuncinci iinjongo zokuvalwa kwe-app giant zibonakala zineenjongo ezintle.

Ngo-2012, i-Instagram yaqhekeza amagama anjenge- "thighgap" kunye "thinspiration," aqhelekileyo asetyenziswa luluntu olunengxaki yokutya. Ukuhamba ngomlenze, akunjalo? Ngaphantsi kokuvalwa, abasebenzisi basenokusebenzisa amagama athintelweyo kwizithuba (imifanekiso "yethanga" ayinakuthathwa kwiphepha lakho) kodwa awungekhe uphinde ukhangele loo magama ukufumana imifanekiso. #sorrynotsorry (Fumana Kutheni "Fitspiration" iiPosti ze-Instagram azisoloko zikhuthaza.)

Kodwa kuvela ukuba ezo zithintelo azenzi nto zilungile, zinokuyenza ingxaki ngakumbi, ngokokufunda okutsha kwiYunivesithi yaseGeorgia.

Iqela le-Georgia Tech lijonge kwi-2.5 yezigidi ze-pro-eating disorder posts kwi-Instagram phakathi kwe-2011 kunye ne-2014, kwaye bafumanisa ukuba endaweni yokuvalwa kwe-squashing umsebenzi we-pro-eating disorder community-ekhoyo ukwabelana ngomxholo okhuthaza ukuphazamiseka kokutya njenge-anorexia kunye i-bulimia-eneneni yaphela ngokunyanzela amalungu ukuba abandakanyeke ngakumbi.

Abasebenzisi bengxaki yokutya baye bayila. Oko kwaqala njengamagama ali-17 athintelweyo aqhuma aba ngamakhulu okwahluka (kukho iiyantlukwano ezili-107 ezahlukeneyo ze "thighgap" yedwa-ugh). (I-PS umsantsa wethanga yenye yeenjongo ezi-5 eziQhelekileyo zoMzimba ezingafezekisekanga kwaphela.)

Kwaye ngokutsho kolu phando, ukuthatha inxaxheba ngokubanzi kunye nenkxaso kwiindawo zokutya ezingalunganga sele zikhuphuke ngepesenti eyi-30 okoko kwaqala ukusebenza.

Ngoko ke yeyiphi enye indlela? Endaweni yokuthintela imiqathango kuko konke ukukhangela kunye nokwenza lula Kaninzi Ukuzibandakanya ngokwenza abasebenzisi kolu luntu babeyila ngakumbi, abaphandi bacebisa ukubavumela ukuba bahlale bekhangelekile-kodwa nge-tweak ebalulekileyo. Bacebisa ukubandakanya amakhonkco aluncedo kumaqela enkxaso kunye nezibonelelo nanini na xa kukhangelwa amagama angalunganga.

Kuvakala njengesicwangciso sokunceda ukugcina #iinjongo zethu zikwindawo entle.
