For every trolling comment made about her body, TikTok star Brooklynne Webb posts herself joyfully dancing with her belly out beneath the hateful message. 'It doesn't matter what size I am. I'm perfect just the way I am.”
Teens have reported thatof their bodies. However, more recently, users like Brooklynne have started movements to normalize all body types and shapes to dispel harmful beauty standards. Women and girls joyfully showing off their relaxed, unaltered stomachs has become a sweeping trend on the platform in recent weeks. Experts said the trend could help young people re-evaluate beauty standards and adjust expectations of what their bodies should look like.
"It makes me feel super, super genuinely happy," Brooklynne said of seeing the movement grow on TikTok."It makes me feel like social media and this social construct of bodies is starting to change to be overall more positive and loving and accepting." "I do think that Gen Z has really started to push back against that, and we see a different, more empowered moment on social media where young people are saying, like: 'I'm not going to spend all this time trying to make myself look perfect for you. Here's my belly. … I don't really care,'" Markey said.
