About

Giving My Pet Body Dysmorphia, also known as "Giving X Body Dysmorphia" refers to a phrasal template where people post a picture of their pet watching a piece of media that correlates to the animal's anthropomorphized form and say that they are giving their pet body dysmorphia. The format began with a meme about a horse watching My Little Pony.
