"Taking selfies to document daily life is now a completely normalised activity
across all ages and demographics.
At the same time, however, selfies are often maligned – particularly in
specific contexts such as at places of worship, sacred sites, or when animals
are made unwitting participants.
It’s easy to see why taking selfies could be considered inappropriate in such
cases. But there’s been much debate about their acceptability in a more casual
and frequented arena: the gym.
Lately, gyms the world over have been pushing back against selfies and
influencer-culture taking over their spaces, citing a risk of injury to
patrons, among other concerns.
When considered alongside a rise in toxic influencer culture and widespread
body-image insecurity, it could be argued banning gym selfies is a positive
step."
