"The whole nature of DEF CON is to be subversive, to buck tradition, and to circumvent any traditional methods, and I think our tongue-in-cheek campaign did just that," Bowden said. Kelsey's intentionally left vague whether she's actually sending photos of herself nude to people many, she said, are messaging her just to see if it's real. When women use their bodies in ways that make others uncomfortable, many are quick to establish a public pillory." "Transgressive behavior is the norm for hackers, and breasts deserve the freedom to exist inside a technical space. "Her being maligned for her actions seemed wrong, especially in connection with a 'hacker' event-and that many people might not understand the underlying issues, so it made sense to speak out," Singh told Motherboard. Jackie Singh (formerly Stokes), founder and CEO of Spyglass Security, stumbled across Kelsey's tweets about her campaign and decided to jump into the conversation. Nudity and sex, especially when it involves women, is taboo-it evokes some feelings in people." "I wasn’t shocked to see either, honestly.

"Because I am a woman with a body, everyone had an opinion," Kelsey said. Since tweeting about selling nudes to make it to DEF CON, some people have told Kelsey they're disappointed, disgusted, and offended that she chose to sell nudes to make it to the conference. Badass's GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly $12,000 so far, with proceeds beyond their travel budget going back to the organization and helping revenge porn victims.

"We are determined to get the whole team to DEF CON because we want to raise awareness for our cause, make connections to those who would be allies against non-consensual pornography, and get a feel for the people who would hack into people's accounts to steal nudes without consent." "We set up the GoFundMe based on that joke, and it spiraled from there," Katelyn Bowden, founder and CEO of Badass, told Motherboard.
The public discussion that followed online sparked a conversation about who "belongs" at a hacking conference like DEF CON-and even got the founder of the conference involved.
