They are hitting back at the trolls who constantly denigrate them, and I personally don't blame them.

[spathiphyllum]

This is opening them up to more trollish behaviour. I think any celebrity gets hate mail as well as fan mail, they're jumping on the band wagon and it makes my eyes roll

[spathiphyllum]

It's all for attention, if you want to get back at trolls, ignore em lol Errrryone knows that

[spathiphyllum]

"to empower other women to always unapologetically be themselves."

By prancing and posing around naked..

Or to get back at trolls?

Or just for any attention possible i guess

Actually the best way to deal with bullies and trolls is to agree with them. Yes its a publicity stunt for their new album. If, because of it, one male or female stands up to negative criticism and says yes I'm fat/gay/talentless or whatever, they turn round and say 'yeh so what get over it' -then they've done a good job.

[spathiphyllum]

That's not what they're saying though, or doing

One article suggests its due to trolls, the other suggests its to promote body image and doesn't mention trolls at all.

I'm sorry i've even shared this article i'm just giving them more publicity their songs are tripe.

They didn't have to, but how did it hurt you that they did? I know people in the public eye who have cried for hours over things written about them, trolls think what they say is fun to a fair target. Someone I know had her weight criticised viciously so much because she gained it so she could breast feed more easily, that she deleted all of her social media. She was so upset, and public perception affects your market value as an actress / peformer. Doesn't matter how poor their music is, people don't have to make snide personal remarks about them, and if they choose to strip off and challenge that ( for whatever reason) good for them.

Bunch of slappers. You only ever see them half naked, can they actually sing.

[spathiphyllum]

The answer is No SK ;) hahaha, nah that's harsh, honestly they can sing but their songs are just whack

[spathiphyllum]

"that she deleted all of her social media. "

That seems a good idea for those who get so emotional over other peoples senseless comments

An you're 100% right..

"people don't have to make snide personal remarks about them"

But people always will regardless.

[kvalidir]

They will. Trolls are assholes, I cheerfully set them all on fire and not give it a second thought, they are a complete bitter waste of oxygen, and I'd like to see more dealt with properly when they are exposed in cases where they have caused genuine harm. Utter scum of the earth.

This is not a new thing. May Faith Photography did a series of images 6 years ago about body image. The pictures on facebook are better but here's a link for those who are not members. I think it bears saying again.

Woof i'm not sure what website that is but that font gives me seizures.

[woofgang]

Its not great is it? I sometimes wonder what planet web designers live on

[hereIam]

I think they can sing and I like them and I applaud them for their stance - why shouldn't they fight back ??

[spathiphyllum]

Fight back to what, HereIAm?

[woofgang]

spath why do you care?

[kvalidir]

Why should trolls have the last word Spath? If someone trolls me they can jolly well feckity-feck off, they rely on people slinking off and crying their eyes out, I won't back down and apparently these ladies won't either.Besides being 'half naked' as was mentioned earlier or 'attention seeking' harms none of you any anyway so as woof says why are you bothered?

[spathiphyllum]

Quote where it talks about trolls anywhere

[spathiphyllum]

Why am i bothered? You have one crowd saying women are equal all this tripe you have another saying oh women need to be careful now a days cus everyone's a rapist then you have this group, who think it's a new idea to strip naked and put words on their body. It's been done b4, it's just begging for attention.
