Kim Kardashian challenges you to avoid seeing her nude selfies
As it turns out, Kim Kardashian is not trying to lead a nude feminist Instagram cult, despite some confusion on the matter.
Kardashian discussed her chill philosophy on being naked on the Recode Decode podcast with her pal Kara Swisher. "My personality has never been, 'I’m such a feminist and follow me and be naked,'" she said.

"If you are conservative and that’s how you are comfortable, more power to you," Kardashian continued. "I respect you. You don’t have to look at what I do."
Of course, avoiding Kim Kardashian nudes in't a simple matter for anyone with Wi-Fi access, but it is nice to imagine a world where people don't accidentally see things they don't want to on the Internet.
Kim has made it clear she intends to keep 'em coming. When Swisher presented Kardashian with a Break the Internet Webby Award created just for her, she comforted fans claiming, "nude selfies 'til I die," and flashed a peace sign.
Kardashian says she's "baffled" the stir her nudes still cause -- with celebrities like Bette Midler, Piers Morgan and Miley Cyrus all picking sides. "You have seen me naked 500 times," she said.
As for a mission statement for the photos, Kim doesn't want you to overthink it.
"Some people were outraged because I am a mom, some people were so supportive. I just think it looks good, I am really not trying to cause a reaction."
Kim's DGAF attitude is the survival mechanism that has allowed her to keep doing her thing without being too deterred by the comments
She credits the fact that she grew up (relatively) out of the spotlight for her thick skin. So, uh, good luck, Kylie.
