For some time, celebrities have sought to speak out against the canons of beauty that have enslaved society and, at the same time, have served as a way to cause extreme insecurity. Thus, many women prefer to be natural; which, sometimes, is not well seen; just as it happened to Arvida Bystrom when she posed showing her shaved legs.

This 26-year-old Swedish model carried out a sports shoe campaign for the prestigious brand Adidas and decided to present her lower extremities with the natural hairs that come out regularly; She even uploaded the image to her Instagram account. Curiously, this act to be natural was not well received and the young woman has received much criticism.

"My Adidas Original flagship campaign photo received a lot of nasty comments last week," Brystom wrote to accompany the snapshot. "I am capable, white, with a cis [cisgender] body and its only characteristic, which is unconforming, of having hair on my leg."

The matter has become a source of controversy in networks, among those who are in favor or others against. In fact, the attacks have been such that, according to the model, they have gone from simple criticism to strong threats.

“I have literally received rape threats in my DM inbox. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to have all these privileges and try to exist in the world,”he added.

Arvida Bystrom preferred to advise everyone to send love and try to "remember that not everyone has the same experiences being a person".
