Internet Outrage At Kylie Jenner’s Sex Doll Wheelchair Images

Kylie Jenner is in the news again - fancy that? This time she's drawing heat for a photo shoot many say is in very poor taste.

Oh Kylie, was there no point during this shoot when you thought people would kick up a stink or do you just like the attention?

Jenner posed for the shoot with Interview Magazine, and it is the combination of her being in a wheelchair and wearing fetish outfits that has disability advocates crying foul. Even CNN covered the story:

“It’s deeply disturbing,” said Emily Smith Beitiks, associate director of the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability in San Francisco.

“People with disabilities are already seen as powerless, and this just reinforces that,” she said.

The two pictures drawing the most heat are those below:

The backlash was swift across social media and think piece sites:

“I’m constantly infantilized because of my wheelchair, denied even the idea of sexuality and agency let alone desirability. But Kylie?” Atlanta writer Kayla Whaley tweeted. “She gets paid and praised to wear the shallowest possible illusion of my disability for a few hours.”

“So disabled models can’t get work or advance in the fashion industry but Kylie jenner can use a wheelchair and be classed as edgy,” Twitter user @Bendy_Mermaid posted.

“Oh I see! When I’m in my wheelchair noone can look me in the eye but when Kylie Jenner sits in a wheelchair it’s FASHION. Silly me,” Twitter user @amysgotmilk said.

As of yet there has been no public apology and the crowd is still baying for blood.
