The idea of body neutrality is often misunderstood; it emerges from social media rather than academic insights, lacking clear objectives about a healthy body image.
Proponents of body neutrality may confuse it with positive body image, which encompasses acceptance and appreciation, unlike the simplistic goal of neutrality.
Body positivity serves as a social movement, highlighting the complexities of positive body image which are vital in discussions of self-acceptance and body respect.
Aiming for body neutrality may set the bar too low, as it doesn’t actually represent the full scope of what a positive body image entails.
