FULL TITLE: Model receives rape and death threats for showing off her hairy legs in an Adidas ad - and is told she looks like a 'disgusting monkey'
A Swedish model has revealed how she's been subjected to death and rape threats after posing for an Adidas ad campaign with unshaven legs.
Arvida Bystrom, 26, a model and photographer, took to Instagram to reveal how she'd received a torrent of abuse after the campaign was released in which she reveals her hairy calves underneath a pair of pink ankle socks.
'Me being such an abled, white, cis body with its only nonconforming feature being a little leg hair,' she said. 'Literally I've been getting rape threats in my DM inbox.
'I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to not posses all these privileges and try to exist in the world. Sending love and try to remember that not everybody has the same experiences being a person.

I’m a woman.
I think it is part of the modern moral peacocking, the virtue signaling. Beautiful women are pushed to make themselves plain or even ugly in order to make things more fair, more equitable.
You get the deliberate uglification of college girls shaving half their heads, wearing ugly clothes on purpose, getting nasty tattoos and piercings to detract from their good looks.
The same movement says don’t you dare suggest someone lose weight and shames women who do.
It is the same movement that is telling women that dressing up, putting on makeup and trying to be appealing to men is evil unless you’re walking a slut walk where the only appeal is the nudity but the attitude keeps people away.
And in the name of sexual liberation is shaming people who don’t want to have sex with an ugly person, lesbians who don’t want to have sex with a mentally ill man in a dress, or telling straight men you’re evil if you turn down homosexual sex.
It is “Harrison Bergernon” in reality, everyone equally dull, drab, ugly and interchangeable in bed in the name of fairness.
That looks like Mike Farrell in the background.
OK, I give up. Where’s the Swedish model?
Bingo!
“four laser treatments will take care of that leg hair. They are painful”
I admit to curiosity about that.
How painful are they?

Even with shaved legs, that is such an ugly pose. Why would anyone think that’s a good way to sell a product?
As for the threats she is claiming, my bet is on hoax.
LOL! Shave her down and pass her off ...
Don’t goats have hairy legs?
Not even pretty, with that pig nose and sneer. And those tattoos? Horrible. Who is Adidas targeting with this? Meth-addicted teens?
With the men going wimpy, maybe she is the real Viking.
Every bit of extra fur is a help.
By Thor’s hairy hammer, you may be right!
Years ago in my youth circa 1979 I had a Norwegian “lady friend.” I got over the hair with no problem.
Remember until the early 1920’s this is what women looked like. They did not shave anything.
You can always tell a Norwegian, but you can't tell her much...
#26. When a goat is not around, any woman will do.
Along with a couple of your descriptors in your tagline, I guess we share something else in common. 1979 too!
I don't think the model should be getting threats - though I wonder if she really has been or if this is just publicity to drum up interest.
