Looking through the list, what do you notice about these controversies? Do they have anything in common? If so, what?

Explanation / Answer

I think what is common in all these controversial posts is trolling on the social media. Social media has provided a space for everyone to voice their opinions. So when some people's opinion clash with other's opinion on the same thing it raises controversy. Like some of the pictures were about photoshopping images and reducing waste sizes etc, which may distort the perception of beauty on impressionable minds, so they are criticized, so most people have just backed out from those kind of editing when backlashed by the people. Then some are about expressing women sexuality. Basically it was a showcase of opinions on different subjects and showcase of lifestyles.
