...and this is why we don’t deserve nice things. 

What started as a trend for body empowerment, has turned into a nightmare for these women who just wanted to proudly own their bodies on social media.

Some irresponsible parties have devised a way to remove the distinct red filter used for this challenge to reveal the creators' "real" bodies. If you search "how to remove red light from silhouette challenge" on Youtube, you'll find tons of videos providing free tutorials. Sick!

Reddit and Twitter have both banned all the accounts that tried to upload the unedited photos on their platforms, but Youtube has yet to follow suit. 

So if you're planning to hop on the bandwagon and participate in the #silhouettechallenge, please be aware that this is happening. If you've already done it, it's best to remove the video or set it to private. 

Spread this around and look out for each other.
