Life and love have been revolutionised by the internet. Relationships are founded and damaged by social media, new methods of communication present possibilities as well as paranoia, the free flow of information has spawned new rules invented by self-appointed gatekeepers about how and when and where we can display our bodies. Comments boards and forums have blessed trolls and dickheads with the opportunity for free speech, affording them anonymity – a luxury that is all too often denied to anybody seeking to present their body or an opinion that is anything outside of the rigid norm – in the process.
