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.

“Look ate the size of those feet!”
Noticed that too. She has to be an American size 11 or 12.
You know what that means don’t you?
Yes we have found a Bigfoot!
Death threats?
Makes no sense.
It doesn’t make me want to buy those shoes.
When i was in Eurupe in mid to late 60’s axillary hair and unshaven legs were pretty common even with hot women.
“Nit genders”
Wait a minute.
Are you saying that she has lice?
I think leg hair is annoying, but it’s just custom and fashion. Men have a whole host of facial hair options available and always have. Some of those are also annoying, and some are downright weird. You don’t see us making death threats!
Agree, anyone who is offended is confused
She has found a way to virtue signal.
“It doesn’t make me want to buy those shoes.”
Same here. Makes me want to avoid Adidas forever.
Thats not impressive, shug..... Grow a beard, and get back with me.
*gross*, but she would clean up fairly well IMHO.
I agree.
“but it’s just custom and fashion.”
Not in America unless one is a sasquatch,
Gross... but probably doesn’t merit a death or rape threat. IF they happened and she isn’t just looking for attention.
Women have hairy parts?! Next thing, you'll be telling me that they flatulate!
Well you know, not like we have not seen hoax crimes reported before
I don’t care what ‘she’ used to be, or when ‘she’ transitioned, the bottom line is that this crap HAS TO STOP, and now!
