A social movement, body positivity is promoted as a way to celebrate the great diversity of the physical forms of human beings. According to the movement, too much emphasis – especially in the arts and the media – is placed on only certain body shapes with under-representation among short people, obese people, people with disfigurements, disabled people and people with skin imperfections, such as birthmarks, for example. The basic idea is that by only praising – or even being able to see – images of so-called beautiful individuals, it creates a social norm that is unrealistic. In some cases, people even claim that such images can lead to certain psychological disorders, such as anorexia, for example. By embracing body positivity among all body types, on the other hand, society should become more accepting of its diversity, something that can have a knock-on effect in terms of mental well-being.
