The criticism got so bad, though, that Byström took to her own Instagram account to speak out about the backlash. She shared the same picture as Adidas, writing: “My photo from the @adidasoriginals superstar campaign got a lot of nasty comments last week. Me being such an abled, white, cis body with its only nonconforming feature being a lil leg hair.” She went on to describe the sort of vitriol she’s received: “Literally I've been getting rape threats in my DM inbox," she added. "I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to not possess 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. Also thanks for all the love got a lot of that too.”
