Kim Kardashian’s latest emoji update is not going so well.
Another day another group of people going after Kim Kardashian, or so it seems. Being that it’s International Women’s Day today, the wrath is a little more harsh being as Kim has capitalized on her new Emoji drop with the significant day.
Mrs. West debuted her Feminist line of texting characters and a good chunk of Twitter users are bashing her for claiming it’s feminism.

The emojis feature lots of booty, boobs, panties and even a stripper pole. Aside from some users saying these emojis are far from being feminist friendly – while some argue they are – what frustrates people more is the fact that she’s selling the package for $2.99 USD. Furthermore, Kim has publicly stated that she doesn’t label herself as a feminist back in 2015.
“Obviously, there are things about me that people might say make me a feminist: I work hard, I make my own money, I’m comfortable and confident in my own skin, and I encourage women to be open and honest about their sexuality, and to embrace their beauty and their bodies,” she said. “Why do we have to put labels on things? I’m a human being, and I have thoughts, feelings and opinions about a lot of different things.”
Of course, her opinion may have changed in three years but people are still going in on her. Check out the reactions below.
I thought feminism was an idealogy, a movement. It cannot be bought or sold. Perhaps a reality show to teach ppl like #KimKardashian that #Kimojis are simply regressive. #KanyeNot

the fact that Kim Kardashian did not identify herself as a “feminist” @ first and now does just blows my mind. the nerve of some people trying to get publicity..& her “kimojis” don’t do any justice lol. one of the many reasons why western feminism needs improving smh.

KimKardashian is NO expert on Feminism. Her #Kimojis feed into the sexist attitude that diminish and even harm women. Her own obsession with showing off her surgically altered body is alarming and NOT a healthy example for girls & young women.
