The reality TV personality released a number of new Kimojis on International Women’s Day and many people were offended. Many took to Twitter to voice their displeasure, they claim she’s attempting to capitalize off this day that’s meant to celebrate social, economical, political and cultural achievements of women.

The fact @KimKardashian is selling feminist emojis for $2.99 on “International women’s day” & some birds are loving it sums up modern feminism 😂😂😂 #ChargedForYourBeliefs

Kim’s emojis are disrespectful. She’s throwing shade n using this to make $$$.

In the past the Kardashian has said that she doesn’t idenfiy as a feminist, but she told Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, “I said once before that I’m not really a feminist, but I feel I do a lot more than people that clain that they’re feminist. I feel in my soul I’m a feminist. I just don’t need label to make me feel or know what I am inside.”

Some were on board with the Kimojis.

the emojis @KimKardashian made are everything

I don’t get why. Women should love their bodies and feel safe and free enough to flaunt them as they please. These emojis just say that to me.
