Thanks to social media and viral Internet culture, body positivity is a topic that is finally getting the attention it deserves. People understand that every body is different and there isn't a one-size-fits-all body.
One woman thought her body positivity post would get some positive reactions, but she got quite the surprise when it actually sparked a large debate instead.
Valentina, who goes by @val_adall on Twitter and @valaddall on Instagram, is a normal gal like any of us.
She totally owns her body and you can feel her confidence radiate through her photos.
Before she knew it, many people began sharing their own photos in the thread.
It seemed to be going how Valentina had hoped: people supporting people and uplifting one another. People of all genders, backgrounds, and body types shared their own photos of their bodies.
Some people took it the message in a completely different way.
This user pointed out that the movement sprung from bigger women aiming to change public perception of the ideal body type and that Valentina is dismissing that.
It definitely does take courage to put yourself out there and post photos of your own body to a large public Twitter thread.
The first user feels that Valentina's post is promoting vanity, but the second user explains that you can be confident about the way your body physically looks and still be body positive.
Does Valentina's post promote body positivity or does it promote vanity and love for an "ideal" type of female body?
Let us know!
