Revolver controversies

Criticism of the Hottest Chicks feature and image use

Angela Gossow criticized Revolver over the use of an image in the 2010 feature that she said she did not want used. More broadly, commentators argued that the feature objectified women musicians and gave insufficient attention to their work as artists. Revolver defended the feature as voluntary and empowering, but critics viewed that response as dismissive of the underlying representation issue.
