Recently, YouTuber Ginicanbreath recently performed this social experiment in Union Square.
She blindfolded herself, stripped down to the bare minimum, and asked New York City strangers to draw hearts on her body-- all in the name of self-acceptance and a positive body image.
As she goes on to recount on her YouTube page:
"All the while a man was shouting at me, 'Hey, Girl. Put your clothes back on. Put your clothes back on. Noone wants to see that.'
I held my ground and adjusted my sign. It read: 'I am standing for anyone who has struggled with a self-esteem issue like me…
All bodies are beautiful. To support self-acceptance, draw a heart on my body.'"
Check out how it all went down below...
