Who cares and move on Balenciaga have always been edgy, people are taking this way too far.
I’ll continue to purchase and wear from this company , adidas etc. like most of you will in 2023 when this all dies out and you move onto the next small issue blown out of proportion.
People are literally falling for Qanon level conspiracy theories with this and it’s literally infuriating. Are people that dense to this? Why would literally any brand intentionally promote child abuse? Why would any company want to tank sales when their ultimate goal is PROFIT? Do these conspiracy dumbasses think it’s profitable to appeal to pedos??
Lack of critical thinking is a pandemic at this point. Most of the narrative is coming from right wing mouthpieces so not a surprise, but STILL I cannot believe left-wing people are falling for it.
Bitch you the one that needs to go outside. The New York locations for balenciaga have LINES and longer wait times despite this dumbass controversy. Seems like the broke and terminally online that care about this sis. Stay mad.
But this doesn’t discount the fact some stores have been accosted by deranged people like you
Imagine accusing people of mental illness and dick riding while you the one running about defending Elon musk and his dumbassery on twitter , slurping his dick like it’s your vitamin. Stay mad sis.
???? No child was wearing locks. It was THE BEARS. And there were no adults in the photos nor any holding keys. The books are coffee table books you can literally buy at Barnes and Noble/Amazon . The court documents are from a tv set literally said in the statement you didn’t read.
Like the fact you’re just brazenly spreading disinformation is disgusting.
*not packrunner replying and blocking me. The bears were goth/punk inspired. If that’s all you thought of how the fuck would you jump to pedo? And they’re taking accountability for not considering the pedo undertones. Can you shut up.
Exactly. they were giving me rave/goth/punk/emo at first so I didn’t jump to the bdsm idea until someone brought it up to me and yeah certain elements can be used as BDSM like the locks. But still, it was considered goth/punk which is a sub-culture demna has explored several times, that was the imagery I immediately jumped to. Now people are going about calling it fetish and pedophila and child p*rn like what the fuck?
These dumbasses really think it’s CP? Then why isn’t the FBI involved? Why aren’t governments involved? Because it’s not porn. It’s conservative hysteria that somehow influenced left-leaning people too.
>Okay, so there's been the disturbing photos with child facing down on sofa whilst theres beer/wine glasses carefully laid out in front, and also the BDSM teddys, which is suspect, but lets give Balenciaga benefit of doubt and assume it were a mistake. It still doesn't explain why did one of their lead designers, Lotta Volkava, post numerous pictures of children in distress? or with their guts hanging out their stomach? or even as far as to saying 'devil worshippers perform gruesome rituals in forests? shes even referenced 'Moloch' several times - why is that? Why has Demna (Creative Director) posted on his social media, '“Someone wrote that Lotta (Balenciaga stylist), Gosha, and I grew up on child pornography and radiation from Chernobyl, which is why we’re so f\*cked up'.. why would say that, even as a joke? It just doesn't add up, correct me if I'm wrong? Why is there a SCOTUS ruling which favours a paedophile for the following; "'Sexually explicit conduct' connotes actual depiction of the sex act rather than merely the suggestion that it is occurring. And 'simulated' sexual intercourse is not sexual intercourse that is merely suggested, but rather sexual intercourse that is explicitly portrayed, even though (through camera tricks or otherwise) it may not actually have occurred." - surely this shows solidarity to Peadophilles? Why are they advertising art books by an author who likes to draw castrated nude toddlers playing with limbs ? Furthermore, I'm now reading about this Rachel Chandler, who was a professional photographer and modeling agent, was reportedly involved in the casting process for Balenciaga. She has been linked with Jeffrey Epstein and has visited the Island on multiple accounts ! I mean WOWWWW, you'd need to be a absolute fool or perhaps you've spent a painful amount of money with Balenciaga that's its just too hard to accept the truth. You only need to be honest with yourself and if you're not.. you've failed yourself as a man/woman because you're prepared to ignore the facts in front of you to live in your idea of bliss.
Please, this comment made sense in the 80s maybe, nowadays you can see people wearing leather harnesses and net shirts to any even even the most fancy ones. Like you haven’t paid attention at all to the world if a harness shocks you lmao
Per the mf statement. the inclusion of the documents are by the production company and NOT BALENCIAGA, since I’m working for Balenciaga, you must be Lea Michele. But you must be Lea Michele because left/right wing isn’t an American concept dumbass.
The court papers were of a SCOTUS ruling NOT CONVICTIONS. So more disinformation per usual, even the artist’s work is hardly pedophilia and his books can be bought right now at Barnes and Noble.
Y’all be so stupid I stg.
Ugh I agree so much. People are overreacting so much if only they put this energy into actual issues ….and not an image of a perfectly fine child holding a bear with some strings on it. Makes me question where their brains are at.
More dumbass disinformation that you gotta spew it twice! Lotta experiments with Satanic imagery, and very respected stylist working with Prada/Miu Miu and Adidas, NOT child torture dumbass. Lil Nas X has experimented with Satanic imagery too. Demna doesn’t use instagram aside from DMs. None of the rest of the designers have public profiles aside from two and they have NOT ONCE EVER used that imagery. Keep reaching sis, hopefully you pull a socket and lose the ability to type dumbass shit into the digital ether
Not you calling proof excuses. Not the “proof is online, do your research” comment repeated ad nauseam by conservatives 💀. What’s next? Beyoncé and the Illuminati? Hollywood eats children? Y’all stay thinking below a 5th grade level with your goosebumps stories. Your poor excuse of arguments will always come up short sis , bye. I guess your height isn’t the only thing that’s stunted
I just read that they blamed north six so then I have to add if north six is responsible are they gonna get black balled and if north six is the company with the court documents or child photos?
Your right wing people are literally spreading conspiracy theories, commiting treason, selling USA government secrets to other countries, stripping women of their bodily autonomy, responsible for the proliferation of mass shootings, supported an insurrection, villanizing the LGBTQ community as groomers, denying the existence of climate change, denying the existence of police brutality, have more connections to child trafficking and Epstein
yet none of these republican leaders are canceled or IN PRISON. Shut up
Purchased 2 hourglass bags earlier this month before the scandal and now I’m concerned people are going to think I support pedophelia if I post my bag on social media when I’m out with it, should I return while i can or do you think the brand will recover over time?
I wouldn’t be concerned with what other people think. That said, depending on your career, it may not be a good look to carry these bags any time in the near future. Personally, I would return them and purchase one Chanel bag over a trendy bag like the hour glass. If you like the shape, Cartier just released a very similar style of bag. That is my suggestion anyways. Do whatever you wish though.
Keep them if you like them. This will blow over when the qAnon folk move onto their next conspiracy theory.
It’s not all that surprising that fucker Carlson (incidentally now best friends with Kanye who just got dropped by balenciaga, and who’s propped up by Russian $ is targeting Demna) is getting all the Fox News trash frothing at the mouth.
Personally i wouldn’t have an issue with it, when I saw it my mind never went to BDSM. Goth core is vogue at the moment, just Google search the term and you can see it’s footprint across 2022
https://www.cxomedia.id/fashion/20220509134728-12-174803/gothcore-fashion-101
The bears are dressed like such (again look at r/gothstyle) I can see how it can be interpreted as BDSM and personally if I were PR for balenciaga I never would have approved it because of the misconception. The paperwork however is inexcusable.
So just because he can’t afford it, he’s not allowed to speak about their child abuse?
Also, you should really learn English to interpret his sentence better.
It’s wordplay dumbass. He says he’s not buying their apology , I’ m saying he can’t afford to buy the apology paralleling how he can’t afford to buy anything from them either. 3rd grade wordplay istg. I guess that’s why you falling for conspiracies too.
Considering you’re dick riding a child abuse brand like Balenciaga anyone would think that flew over your head. People like you who praise a brand like they gave you birth or something are the true scums of the planet.
Stay broke and unwoke idgaf. No child abuse was commited by Balenciaga, but child abuse was committed to make the cheap clothes you wear. Funny how you all stay silent in that regard. I guess y’all fine with abuse as long as you can’t see it and you get to enjoy your 90$ Nike sneakers.
My point is they tried to shift the blame (sue the photographer) and failed because he defended himself justly. So since they tried to pursue legal action and failed who is their next target.
Well, the peso in question is a few levels under demna and has been working for balenci since 2014. Can’t remember her name but there is news abt her since they found out that she literally is a pedo and designed the whole capsule collection. Also fuck the photographer he is lying he did a thing with children and toys a few years prior
Lol the photographer is pretty well known. He did a book about humans fascination with guns around the world that got a lot of attention. The thing with kids is actually a nice thing, he went around the world and took pictures of kids with their most prized possessions, their toys, something that all kids can relate about.
Yea but it can be considered phalic, as what they did in the balenciaga ad was essentially a playoff of said thing. Without the bears and the papers, nobody would have cared abt the ad being weird.
Not tru, multiple huge companies do shit much worse than accidental pedophelia references in ads. Old navy, gap, shien, urban outfitters, Nike, adidas, basically most companies that make product in Vietnam or China rape murder and force 7-14 year olds to work for 0.007 cents a week on a daily basis but literally no one does shit to stop it.
Yea but no one seems to care abt it. Ppl love to speak out on bs social issues that are basically so small and insignificant that it isn’t even worth thinking abt, but then turn anyway from environmental and economical issues that are literally killing humanity
I love the fact you think this is a good point but it's really not, let me explain why.
Pollution and child slavery are a hard thing to escape, pretty much 99% of clothing companies are guilty of this.
Pedophilia tho, that's a choice, that doesn't affect the manufacturing process that's a choice to just be a total degenerate. I can pick other brands that don't endorse child abuse and pedophilia. The two really aren't even slightly comparable tbh, you gotta be a special kinda stupid.
Pollution and child slavery are equally as much as a choice. It is not hard to just NOT produce shit in Chinese factories. It is easy TO HIRE people who can work a job and NOT hire fucking 7 year olds to mine lithium for iPhone chips or create the clothing you buy from shien. I would say 90% of clothing companies made in countries other than North America and Europe are guilty of this, as there is quite a few good companies in southern America and middle Europe and Asia that make stuff without child slavery and with minimal pollution. It just costs more. That’s part of the reason why designer shit Costs a lot, because they aren’t using CHILDREN to make their products.
Yep, and I can buy from any other brand that doesn't use child slavery and also doesn't support pedophilia. I actually do make sure clothes I purchase are made ethically and I make sure they have a long lifetime, and once they are used beyond use my girlfriend can have them for material to sew with. You're argument is trying to say that Balenciaga is the only brand on the entire planet that doesn't use child slavery which is obviously as stupid as it sounds. Buying from them is being complicit with actual pedophilia when you could buy from other ethically produced brands, that aren't a gaggle of pedophiles.
Once again balenciaga isn’t a gaggle of pedos. That’s like saying that Hugo boss is full of nazis because back in the 30s they made the uniforms. It would be like saying that all of Russia is evil because Putin is their leader. Balenciaga is not the problem, it’s just a brand and label. It’s the small amount of people within that are phalic (set designer and photographer for the collection) that need to be changed. Also balenciaga is one of the many companies that make shit ethically, but one of the only companies that makes contemporary art ethically on a mass scale like this. Lots of large designers like Issey miyake rick Owens Virgil abloh LV Gucci FULLTILT, all kinds of shit like that are made ethically. I also make sure everything I buy is either ethical, or thrifted and used to make sure that I’m not wasting my money and time on new shit that I don’t need, it is made problematically.
No it isn't like saying that at all because that was nearly 100 years ago and this is happening right now😂 holy shit dude I don't understand how someone can be as fucking stupid as you. And btw if you'd have done any research into this subject at all you'd have seen the photographer has already shown the receipts, it was Balenciaga not him you're just looking for the closest thing to blame and hoping I might believe you. Dude literally proved it and you're still trynna say it's him lmao. Dude even before this Balenciaga were trying to sell a $600 ugly gay hat, that's profiteering off the struggles that real gay people face, they didn't donate any of that, they pocketed it. Can you outline exactly which part of that is "ethical"?
Mistakes? MISTAKES? How can you be stupid enough to consider this a mistake? Balenciaga is a multi-million dollar fashion house, you think they don't screen absolutely everything that is featured in their ads? Anyone with even a slight understanding of advertising is smart enough to see this was clearly intentional. And pedophilia is far FAR worse than child slavery.
Nah, I’d rather a company accidentally put out an ad campaign and immediately take it down once they realize that the photographer and set designer they hired were pedos, as well as apologize on a mass scale, than buy from companies that intentionally rape murder and torture little kids into making them clothing and products for 0.034 cents a week.
Nope, trying to blame the photographer and set designer is a brainlet level take. Do you think they have the final say on running ads? Do you even understand how a retail focused business works? You think a photographer and set designer can just produce an ad and run it for a company without permission? You gotta be stupid my man. That advert would've been seen by so many pairs of eyes in positions of authority at Balenciaga yet they still gave it the go ahead. Unless you mean to tell me they just didn't notice it- but millions of viewers did almost immediately? In which case that's an impossible level of stupidity and equally not the case. Every single thing in that ad had to be screened and viewed before it could be ran. Balenciaga knew, they did this intentionally. They are pedophiles. This goes way deeper than "muuuuh set designer and photographer were pedos" why were there child's dolls with fake blood in handbags at Balenciaga's runway? Why did they run an ad featuring a book from an artist that draws naked children involved in bloodplay. You've gotta have the worst take on this I've seen yet, open your eyes my man, it's not hard. And "apologise on a mass scale" my guy if you consider that to be an apology you get walked all over on the daily basis I guarantee it, I'd go as far to say you're probably a cuck if you'd accept that as an apology. Utter moron XD.
Mf they made the ad. It’s not like demna walked on the set and Analyzed every single little thing on the set. The mf prolly jus viewed the images that the producer took and was like “yea this fire, drop it”. Like it ain’t that deep bro. Also, millions of viewers didn’t notice shit. Like 4 people saw the document in the background, and I’m willing to bet that demna had no idea that there were even documents involved with any of his sets. He prolly jus saw scattered paper and was like “yea this dope, drop it”. Also it wasn’t even demna or any of balenciagas idea to include children into the set design. It was entirely the photography company and set designers choice. Balenciaga jus said “yes” to it. They defo should not have said yes but they did, hindsight is 20/20. They realized they fucked up by hiring this company for set design and photos. Also considering you are always on LSD and post on green text all day, and seem to have no moral or athletic or socioeconomic prowess, you rly shouldn’t be arguing online. You should be doing shit with your life Lmao.
How many people do you think Balenciaga hires? Do you think Demna oversees absolutely everything to do with the brand? You know there exists entire job positions for this kind of thing at companies like that, yes absolutely a company will not run an ad without analysing absolutely every single little detail and thing in that ad, everything is intentional and the way they mean for it to be. Yes, when it comes to retail adverts people absolutely study every single little detail no matter how small it may seem to you, everything is planned and laid out accordingly. To not realise this about the world is a very high level of ignorance. Companies reputations are on the line when they run adverts, do you honestly believe they'd be that careless? Dude, checking post history is always the point at which you've lost an argument on Reddit, everybody knows that when you need to start fishing up completely unrelated subjects about someone because you've got nothing left to say, you've lost. And you're a dirty little pedophile supporter. You seriously think I take Reddit seriously to post about my life on it? You know absolutely fuck all about me I have intentionally left this account as vague as possible because it's an anonymous account. You literally have no information about me other than the fact I take psychedelics recreationally and enjoy the odd greentext, and you think that draws the entire conclusion to my life? You've got to be the most ignorant spastic I've ever met on this god forsaken platform.
If you want to dig up post history let's talk about how you actually take "parkour" seriously, dudes running around walls somersaulting and shit get a job damn god damn😂 use those parkour skills to chase some bitches
A poorly thought out campaign with pedo undertones is worse than children being beaten, tortured, raped (especially the girls), malnourished, and extremely underpaid to make your life convenient and comfortable?
Wtf is wrong with you?
And you're fine with paying $500 for a t shirt whilst supporting pedophilia😂 there isn't a point to be made here dude, most clothing companies use child slavery. And I can buy ethically sourced clothes from OTHER brands that aren't a bunch of pedophiles 😂 the lengths you people will go to to justify supporting pedophiles is insane.
Where is the pedophilia sis? Balenciaga has already said that wasn’t their intention and working with child abuse groups to help children. While you are typing long ass essays with your Mountain Dew stained Uniqlo shirt that are made from concentration camp cotton from China. Fuck off.
* Balenciaga+Kering+LVMH have not once or ever been implicated in slaver labor cotton, but Reddit’s favorite brands have
I remember when news came out about Patagonia and Uniqlo sourcing their cotton from Xinjiang and I saw so many redditors trying to absolve the company, and those comments got hundreds of upvotes while comments trying to hold them accountable were downvoted.
This campaign is disgusting but Balenciaga is taking accountability and apologizing, while we have someone here still trying to bash the brand and going as far as saying pedophilia is worse than slave labor which includes pedophilia. Like make that make sense.
I can't believe there are actual people that think this is all ok. It's disgusting and anyone who supports their campaign has extremely questionable morals.
Ah, I didn’t know that. But either way it’s contemporary art, and very high quality. Not plastic work zip ties. It’s also a shock factor, like the leather trash bag or the Virgil abloh maybach and other stuff like that.
No no I agree. Balenciaga’s version is better than ambush (https://hypebeast.com/2022/8/balenciaga-logo-hoop-bracelet-zip-tie-925-sterling-silver-gold-demna-gvasalia-release-info) much more discrete in the tradition of jewelry and sterling silver
I still believe they must feel the pain in their sales books to stop provoking with such things, either by mistake (I doubt) or not.

If people called them out to this level they would have to also.
Yea but no one seems to care abt it. Ppl love to speak out on bs social issues that are basically so small and insignificant that it isn’t even worth thinking abt, but then turn anyway from environmental and economical issues that are literally killing humanity

If you wear any company that makes products that isn’t in Italy or North America, you’re complicit with mega pollution, and child slavery.
I love the fact you think this is a good point but it's really not, let me explain why. Pollution and child slavery are a hard thing to escape, pretty much 99% of clothing companies are guilty of this. Pedophilia tho, that's a choice, that doesn't affect the manufacturing process that's a choice to just be a total degenerate. I can pick other brands that don't endorse child abuse and pedophilia. The two really aren't even slightly comparable tbh, you gotta be a special kinda stupid.
Pollution and child slavery are equally as much as a choice. It is not hard to just NOT produce shit in Chinese factories. It is easy TO HIRE people who can work a job and NOT hire fucking 7 year olds to mine lithium for iPhone chips or create the clothing you buy from shien. I would say 90% of clothing companies made in countries other than North America and Europe are guilty of this, as there is quite a few good companies in southern America and middle Europe and Asia that make stuff without child slavery and with minimal pollution. It just costs more. That’s part of the reason why designer shit Costs a lot, because they aren’t using CHILDREN to make their products.
Yep, and I can buy from any other brand that doesn't use child slavery and also doesn't support pedophilia. I actually do make sure clothes I purchase are made ethically and I make sure they have a long lifetime, and once they are used beyond use my girlfriend can have them for material to sew with. You're argument is trying to say that Balenciaga is the only brand on the entire planet that doesn't use child slavery which is obviously as stupid as it sounds. Buying from them is being complicit with actual pedophilia when you could buy from other ethically produced brands, that aren't a gaggle of pedophiles.
Once again balenciaga isn’t a gaggle of pedos. That’s like saying that Hugo boss is full of nazis because back in the 30s they made the uniforms. It would be like saying that all of Russia is evil because Putin is their leader. Balenciaga is not the problem, it’s just a brand and label. It’s the small amount of people within that are phalic (set designer and photographer for the collection) that need to be changed. Also balenciaga is one of the many companies that make shit ethically, but one of the only companies that makes contemporary art ethically on a mass scale like this. Lots of large designers like Issey miyake rick Owens Virgil abloh LV Gucci FULLTILT, all kinds of shit like that are made ethically. I also make sure everything I buy is either ethical, or thrifted and used to make sure that I’m not wasting my money and time on new shit that I don’t need, it is made problematically.
No it isn't like saying that at all because that was nearly 100 years ago and this is happening right now😂 holy shit dude I don't understand how someone can be as fucking stupid as you. And btw if you'd have done any research into this subject at all you'd have seen the photographer has already shown the receipts, it was Balenciaga not him you're just looking for the closest thing to blame and hoping I might believe you. Dude literally proved it and you're still trynna say it's him lmao. Dude even before this Balenciaga were trying to sell a $600 ugly gay hat, that's profiteering off the struggles that real gay people face, they didn't donate any of that, they pocketed it. Can you outline exactly which part of that is "ethical"?
All of them are fine with children getting exploited for $2 t-shirts.
Ik I find it insane that we bash mistakes like this but don’t bash the companies that intentionally commit atrocities like child slavery.
Mistakes? MISTAKES? How can you be stupid enough to consider this a mistake? Balenciaga is a multi-million dollar fashion house, you think they don't screen absolutely everything that is featured in their ads? Anyone with even a slight understanding of advertising is smart enough to see this was clearly intentional. And pedophilia is far FAR worse than child slavery.
Nah, I’d rather a company accidentally put out an ad campaign and immediately take it down once they realize that the photographer and set designer they hired were pedos, as well as apologize on a mass scale, than buy from companies that intentionally rape murder and torture little kids into making them clothing and products for 0.034 cents a week.
Nope, trying to blame the photographer and set designer is a brainlet level take. Do you think they have the final say on running ads? Do you even understand how a retail focused business works? You think a photographer and set designer can just produce an ad and run it for a company without permission? You gotta be stupid my man. That advert would've been seen by so many pairs of eyes in positions of authority at Balenciaga yet they still gave it the go ahead. Unless you mean to tell me they just didn't notice it- but millions of viewers did almost immediately? In which case that's an impossible level of stupidity and equally not the case. Every single thing in that ad had to be screened and viewed before it could be ran. Balenciaga knew, they did this intentionally. They are pedophiles. This goes way deeper than "muuuuh set designer and photographer were pedos" why were there child's dolls with fake blood in handbags at Balenciaga's runway? Why did they run an ad featuring a book from an artist that draws naked children involved in bloodplay. You've gotta have the worst take on this I've seen yet, open your eyes my man, it's not hard. And "apologise on a mass scale" my guy if you consider that to be an apology you get walked all over on the daily basis I guarantee it, I'd go as far to say you're probably a cuck if you'd accept that as an apology. Utter moron XD.
Mf they made the ad. It’s not like demna walked on the set and Analyzed every single little thing on the set. The mf prolly jus viewed the images that the producer took and was like “yea this fire, drop it”. Like it ain’t that deep bro. Also, millions of viewers didn’t notice shit. Like 4 people saw the document in the background, and I’m willing to bet that demna had no idea that there were even documents involved with any of his sets. He prolly jus saw scattered paper and was like “yea this dope, drop it”. Also it wasn’t even demna or any of balenciagas idea to include children into the set design. It was entirely the photography company and set designers choice. Balenciaga jus said “yes” to it. They defo should not have said yes but they did, hindsight is 20/20. They realized they fucked up by hiring this company for set design and photos. Also considering you are always on LSD and post on green text all day, and seem to have no moral or athletic or socioeconomic prowess, you rly shouldn’t be arguing online. You should be doing shit with your life Lmao.
How many people do you think Balenciaga hires? Do you think Demna oversees absolutely everything to do with the brand? You know there exists entire job positions for this kind of thing at companies like that, yes absolutely a company will not run an ad without analysing absolutely every single little detail and thing in that ad, everything is intentional and the way they mean for it to be. Yes, when it comes to retail adverts people absolutely study every single little detail no matter how small it may seem to you, everything is planned and laid out accordingly. To not realise this about the world is a very high level of ignorance. Companies reputations are on the line when they run adverts, do you honestly believe they'd be that careless? Dude, checking post history is always the point at which you've lost an argument on Reddit, everybody knows that when you need to start fishing up completely unrelated subjects about someone because you've got nothing left to say, you've lost. And you're a dirty little pedophile supporter. You seriously think I take Reddit seriously to post about my life on it? You know absolutely fuck all about me I have intentionally left this account as vague as possible because it's an anonymous account. You literally have no information about me other than the fact I take psychedelics recreationally and enjoy the odd greentext, and you think that draws the entire conclusion to my life? You've got to be the most ignorant spastic I've ever met on this god forsaken platform.
If you want to dig up post history let's talk about how you actually take "parkour" seriously, dudes running around walls somersaulting and shit get a job damn god damn😂 use those parkour skills to chase some bitches
A poorly thought out campaign with pedo undertones is worse than children being beaten, tortured, raped (especially the girls), malnourished, and extremely underpaid to make your life convenient and comfortable? Wtf is wrong with you?
And you're fine with paying $500 for a t shirt whilst supporting pedophilia😂 there isn't a point to be made here dude, most clothing companies use child slavery. And I can buy ethically sourced clothes from OTHER brands that aren't a bunch of pedophiles 😂 the lengths you people will go to to justify supporting pedophiles is insane.
Where is the pedophilia sis? Balenciaga has already said that wasn’t their intention and working with child abuse groups to help children. While you are typing long ass essays with your Mountain Dew stained Uniqlo shirt that are made from concentration camp cotton from China. Fuck off. * Balenciaga+Kering+LVMH have not once or ever been implicated in slaver labor cotton, but Reddit’s favorite brands have
I remember when news came out about Patagonia and Uniqlo sourcing their cotton from Xinjiang and I saw so many redditors trying to absolve the company, and those comments got hundreds of upvotes while comments trying to hold them accountable were downvoted. This campaign is disgusting but Balenciaga is taking accountability and apologizing, while we have someone here still trying to bash the brand and going as far as saying pedophilia is worse than slave labor which includes pedophilia. Like make that make sense.
🙌 @JohnBoingy Yes! What gutless freaks these people are

Good on you dude, nice to see someone here has a moral compass.
[удалено]
So are you all going to wear Balenciaga still or ?
Yes. Plus 90% of my balenciaga ready to wear has no logo so I’m not going to be harassed too.
[удалено]
I can't believe there are actual people that think this is all ok. It's disgusting and anyone who supports their campaign has extremely questionable morals.
consumers will still purchase the over-priced balenciaga zipties.
That’s ambush, and they are made of high quality metals
Actually balenciaga made ziptie styled bracelets too.
Ah, I didn’t know that. But either way it’s contemporary art, and very high quality. Not plastic work zip ties. It’s also a shock factor, like the leather trash bag or the Virgil abloh maybach and other stuff like that.
No no I agree. Balenciaga’s version is better than ambush (https://hypebeast.com/2022/8/balenciaga-logo-hoop-bracelet-zip-tie-925-sterling-silver-gold-demna-gvasalia-release-info) much more discrete in the tradition of jewelry and sterling silver
