its a thinly-veiled dig at women that are thin, afterall, they are obviously mentally ill and physically unhealthy...
I have no idea what thread you're reading. The assumption that the Thinspo group is pro-ana has nothing to do with "oh the women are skinny so they must have an eating disorder" it's that the group and its owner openly advertise themselves as pro-ana.

No one here is attacking slender women. Although, I would like to point out that from a medical point of view it's unhealthy to fall bellow a BMI of 19/18.5 (information seems to vary here). The vast majority of the population has a BMI of over 19/18.5, this does not make them unhealthy (in fact up until... BMI 25 they are theoretically more healthy than someone with a BMI of under 18.5.)
