Joey Graceffa Part 3

[JDBgirl]

I see it now lol...wow. Oh Joey.

[FAKEBLOOD]

Welcome, DiamondLeFunk! Great first post, LOL. Someone should post that picture on one of his vlogs and start an uproar. Or ask if he had fun at the gay bar. Lmao.

I literally commented on that picture saying, it seems like he is overcoming anorexia, and it's not healthy to think that way.
Of course someone responds with a snarky comment like "anorexia is when you don't eat at all, not when you don't eat sugar"
Yeah thanks missknowitall.
He basically doesn't eat anything, only chicken, asparagus, and smoothies.
I feel bad for Joey his body isn't even that nice cause he doesn't work out, he just doesn't eat.

And they'd be wrong in saying that. Not eating at all is called fasting, and if it's being done to lose weight, it should be considered nothing more than a bad dieting strategy. Anorexia nervosa is a mental disorder, and has a very specific set of criteria as laid out by the DSM, with the key criterion being a body mass index of below 18.5. Joey doesn't have an eating disorder. He's just dumb. If he were to have an eating disorder (read: he doesn't), the closest would be orthorexia nervosa (obsession with eating only healthy foods/refusing to eat unhealthy foods, to the point of disablement), which is currently not recognized in medical manuals like the DSM.

* Sorry, I've been a research assistant to several psychologists who specialize in eating disorders, and it drives me nuts when the terms are thrown around carelessly.

I don't get that at all, he appears really social and definitely not insecure nor shy.

Also I don't think there's a problem with him not divulging going clubbing or whatever, let the guy have some privacy.

And yeah that cookie picture is rme inducing, but can we assume he's undereating if he's cutting off on junk food? We're not there for every meal he has, he could still be getting his recommended calorie intake.

[DiamondLeFunk]

Thanks FAKEBLOOD and noir-beaute, if you watch his ask joey videos and stuff, those are the things he says about himself as to why he's single. I also don't understand why he's saying he's never been in a relationship or has ex's, yet his "Still into you" video, is about an ex? Like who is that emotionally wrapped up in someone they never got serious with?

He may not have an eating disorder, but he definitely has a mentally and possibly physically unhealthy relationship with food.

As far as the photo posted while he was in the gay bar, I think he's single because it's impossible to pick up guys while wearing a woman's blazer.

I've always thought he had an online persona, but I didn't start watching him til TAR, and I haven't seen all that many pre-haircut videos. (I find his old hair a distracting abomination.) I hope he doesn't go around doing crazy voices and saying goody graci-anya-ous when he's not in front of a camera. I doubt he would have any friends if he did, and he seems to be pretty well liked by people he knows in real life.

Couldn't help but notice in one of his last videos, that girl calling him "gurrrrl." In the way Tyler Oakley says it/means it. So telling. I know this really means nothing, but when you connect all the pieces.

I dislike Whitney, but I do love how she's always the one throwing the biggest hints that Joey's a big homo.

shit right, that was whitney.

There is nothing wrong with trying to eat healthy but this boys needs to do his homework on healthy eating before deciding to talk about it. Foods that aren't organic don't have nutrients? That's a stupid thing to say. How old is he, five?

[NoTVYTGal]

I'm new here! But i'm a Joey sub and read all your posts on him! If you'd like some dirt, he was at a gay hot spot called Fiesta Cantina in WeHo last night!

I mean come on guys! also he needs new clothes, based on his twitter i'm glad he's going clothes shopping!

Cute picture...Joey does always take pics with his mouth open lol
I'm sure all the tween fangirls will read this and still argue that he's just 'metrosexual' and not gay

[Spankalicious]

Surprised he let you take pic of him in a gay bar. I hope that guy next to him isn't his piece - I would think he could do better. Nice to see he's wearing his ladies' blazer on his night out with the boys. LOL

Tumblr. I then asked the person where they met him.

i should check joey's tumblr tag more often, because today i decided to go there and saw that photo there. i used to go there more often, but after TAR it became chaotic. kinda surprised joey allowed a photo of him to be taken (even tho he doesn't even try to hide his sexulity anymore). also, from that photo, it just looks like there's no girls there, you only see guys in the background #sausageparty
oh and i just searched fiesta cantina and it's a gay bar. here's the about page http://www.fiestacantina.net/pages/aboutus.aspx

Best kind of party.

i just realized that i didn't finish my post *facepalm*
well, what i was going to say after posting the link to the about page was, there's no way the fangirls could justify him being in a gay bar. what would they say "he's not homophobic, so he was probably just there"? there's not really a justification the fangirls could give to hide his sexuality. maybe he allowed the photo because he didn't think people would know he was at a gay bar, or maybe he didn't think many people would see it, but the thing is, it just seems like he's slowly coming out and one day he's not even going to say "this person" he's going to say "he"

[BrittanyXo]

Omg I can't wait for tomorrow's video!

[MDNA]

Did u guys see Shane's last video? my gosh they're so hilarious when they're together. Shane brings that out in Joey.

While I completely agree with everything you said as it pertains to Joey, I will say this ... I know straight men who are confident enough in their sexuality who have gone to gay bars before. I even went with my husband once (gay boys *love* my husband) and he had a blast dancing with them (and I can guarantee you my husband is not gay. He's at most a 2 or 3 on the Kinsey scale).

Of course there are always exceptions to the rule. However:
You went with your husband
Your husband doesn't hide his sexuality like Joey does
It pertains to all the other assumptions made
