The Adidas ad campaign received mixed feedback. While many people praised the model for rebelling against beauty norms, several others reacted with disgust or disdain. Arvida replied to the nasty comments on Instagram: "Me being such an abled, white, cis body with its only nonconforming feature being a lil leg hair. 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."
