Kim Kardashian's name would probably be under "nude selfie" in the dictionary at this point, so she's not sure why critics still care so much about what she posts.

"My personality has never been, 'I'm such a feminist and follow me and be naked!' If you are conservative and that's how you are comfortable, more power to you. I respect you. You don't have to look at what I do," Kardashian said.
Kardashian -- who published an entire book of cleavage baring and booty-boasting selfies called Selfish -- claimed there really isn't a good reason as to why she posts the nude photos publicly.
"If I like the photo, and I'm into it, I'll post it... I just think it looks good. I'm really not trying to cause a reaction," said Kardashian, 35.
One graphic photo in particular outraged a slew of people -- Kardashian standing in the buff with only two small, black censor bars covering her nipples and privates.
"I truly was baffled when people still cared," she said. "They have seen me naked 500 times. The censor bar literally was probably more covered than a bikini. I could not grasp how people were so outraged."
Kardashian typically gets bashed for setting a bad example for her two children with husband Kanye West: Daughter North West, almost 2, and son Saint West, 6 months.
"Pre-marriage, pre-babies, the answer would have been everything was shareable," Kardashian told Recode Decode. "After, I would say I keep a good 30 percent to myself."
But Kardashian isn't phased by what haters have to say. In fact, she's seemingly more confident than ever.
"I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin... I have such a thick skin. I've been in the business for a long time, and there's always been a lot of haters in the work that I do," the reality TV star explained.
"People used to always say, 'Don't read the magazines. Don't pay attention,' and it was so hard. I used to say I didn't, but I really still cared. I'm at a point where I really don't care so it doesn't affect me."
