4chan, the website that appears to have coordinated the publication of hacked celebrities' nude photos, attempted to get ordinary girls to take and share their own nude photos to stand in “solidarity with Jennifer Lawrence”.
The 4chan users coordinating the Twitter hashtag #LeakForJLaw commented that it would be the "worldwide trolling of a lifetime". Here is the 4chan post in which an anonymous user discusses the idea:
Here's another 4chan thread in which another user comments that the trend idea is "genius".
4chan users set up new Twitter accounts and uploaded nude photos of girls using the hashtag. Some of the accounts had "I Stand With JLaw" as their Twitter name, and most of the accounts were set up last night.
However, despite the attempt to kickstart it, the idea did not take off, and women did not share their photos.
In fact, the vast majority of tweets using the #LeakForJLaw hashtag were people outraged by the "trend"...
The only thing worse than creepy men acting like they've never seen a naked lady before is the #leakforjlaw movement. Idiots. Idiots!
I really am speechless about this. Theres gona be a lot of girls feeling pretty stupid over the next few weeks #leakforjlaw

#leakforjlaw was set into action by men, for men's personal gain. it's pure brilliance and evil at the same time. #slowclap
Fight the cause, girls! #LeakForJLaw #everyladever
