“You’re still wondering why you’re being bullied, shame on you”
Such a comment by the Bortion Boys band Tiina Forsby got the bikini photo she published earlier. He states that swimsuit photos always cause big reactions on social media.
– They are triggered and are apparently, in someone’s opinion, a completely valid reason to bully and at least a reason to be ashamed of their behavior. This goes into the category for me once again; will not be distributed once and for all.
Forsby points out in his post on Instagram that the above-mentioned comment is not at all the worst.
– But still as an example of the kind of commentary such pictures provoke.
– I spent maybe 80% of the time on the trip wearing a bikini. I would find it very strange if they were not included in my travel photos at all or if I had to hide this section in my travel posts for some reason.
Forsby questions why women’s bikini photos or bare skin cause irritated reactions, and compares the situation to the male members of his band. He adds that he is not responsible for anyone else’s bad feelings because of his pictures.
– Somehow, I doubt that this same commenter would not write, for example, to our Aapo Vuorelle, who at the same time spent a vacation in Los and trained etc. without a shirt, that he is now SHAME there.
– I always try to create versatile content that would not offend anyone. I stand completely and proudly behind my own account and I’m definitely never ashamed of myself or the way I make my own insta diary. If it still doesn’t please someone, how easy it is to unfollow and block self-triggering content.
Forsby continues that as a woman, she has to think about the content she publishes more carefully than men.
– Why still in this world and today do women have to think about such things and think more carefully about men, what they dare to post without fear of nasty and derogatory comments.
– I hope that the world will constantly change to a better, more tolerant model that accepts the differences and ways of working of others, Forsby writes and finally reminds that kindness costs nothing.

Forsby has previously talked about the internet hate he experienced. The bullying increased with the band’s UMK performance last year, and he decided to publish the inappropriate comments he received. In the messages, the woman’s role was insulted as “satisfier” and how her stage function is “spreading the ass”.
Forsby listed dozens of comments that belittled and sexualized her femininity or her position in the band. He wrote how he would never have imagined that he would be the subject of such harsh comments because of UMK
PASI LEISMA
Portion Boys strongly condemned the messages Forsby received.
– What is really wrong with these people? This is our band, our team, we do things together as a team, we make our own decisions and we don’t need advice from others on how we do things, the band sums up.
