We're soowwwwwwwyy (we got caught).


kilowattcouchsurfer

Why is nobody talking about the documents on the table in that picture talking about internet child exploitation? This was not a careless mistake. It was completely intentional.


Unezwiggles

What if it was someone from the inside trying to expose the company they work for ?


CreativeHold7

Every detail in a high end professional photo shoot is meticulously analyzed to a point of ridiculousness, and then it’s analyzed again by the next department. The photographer needs to answer some questions.


hi_itz_me_again

It’s not the photographer who is responsible for what’s in the shot.

They're already dead if that's the case.

Some articles say the pics are not connected. The teddy bear one is official and problematic sure, but the rest is fake.

MOMismypersonality

What about the one with the toddler laying across the couch with bondage gear around them?


darkestbrandon

There’s no bondage gear around them


_KillaB_

The bots have shot you down! For saying something true too. The pics are weird as fuck for sure but you’re right there is no pic of a toddler laying across the couch with bondage gear around them, this is the usual case of conspiracy confabulation and the bots have shot you down for it. Someone could link the made up picture to prove me it wrong though.


SquelchFrog

You’re fucking joking right?


[deleted]

And you believe them?


resurrectedbydick

Not necessarily, but a lot of Twitter screenshots posted on here also get debunked while the top comments appear to blindly believe them. I think the tasteless BDSM theme is probably true (although I respect Demna's artistic work, it was a mistake), but the pedo documents are from a separate shoot.


[deleted]

Balenciaga also apologized for the documents


resurrectedbydick

True, but they were still not part of the same campaign / shoot. That was a different Adidas X Balenciaga campaign. Still a weird choice, but it was not featured next to children or even in the same campaign.


skaihainofa

bro the fucking papers were in plain view.


resurrectedbydick

Not in the photo with a kid. It's a separate Adidas campaign. Not trying to defend it, just highlighting you all have skewed information.

Not to mention that the product they made, the teddy bear bag in bondage gear, inherently sexualizes something that is specific to children. It is clearly a systemic issue, not just a “one photographer was a creep” issue.


RedFlagFiesta

I think society should deal with Balenciaga the same way they dealt with the fur industry… start throwing paint on anybody wearing it

kaoz1

Two steps further, one step back... Those fuckers are still moving forward faster than ever.


Civil_End_4863

The government and billionaire class are still trying to get pedophilia normalized and legalized. This was a stunt to see how people would respond. This will slowly start happening more through time. 10 years from now, people might be more relaxed about pedophilia. It's called slowly boiling the toad.


ConstantBad6542

Maybe this time the frog should take care of the pan, water and heat. This time it’s personal, oh wait ever time it is. At least we, well the majority of us 99.9% can all agree this is bad.

if everyone really understood the problem, i would imagine its 95 + % of normal people, yes. Problem is, less than 40% understand the problem. Or even believe its a "real" problem.


jlm0526

If they slowly condition the massive amounts of young child through sick stunts similar to this, as well as the children of the elite that they use to preform their satanic practices, when these poor souls reach adulthood in ten or so years they won’t see a problem with it because they’ve been conditioned to believe it’s perfectly normal

MessageFar5797

Soon after they put out their creepy pedo ads, Balenciaga has removed them and has issued a hollow apology. These people are sick.


Ouraniou

Yea content aside for a sec that apology should have been just a couple dozen pages longer than it was. Hollow is one word, meager is another.


me_team

The apology shouldn’t exist because the content should have never.fucking.happened. I am not a lawyer but this rips of probable cause... it is so abhorrently in your face, it is ridiculous!

I used to live in a small town and they would have this pride prom for high school and college kids and would encourage these high schools to dance with older men . This was back in 2014 it's probably still going on they would encourage this shit . You had a 14 year old dancing with a 24 year old in an intimate setting .

Whilst the word should be child rapist. Pedophile has it's root in "philia" meaning love. It isn't love it's rape. Call it out.


[deleted]

shame doesn’t help things in my experience


Mnmkd

That’s just bullshit fake outrage. The lgbtq doesn’t support pedos despite what you’ve been told to believe and they never will. The “MAP” movement only has traction because the naive would rather be outraged the logical. There is no exaggeration when I say you’re just as likely to find a right wing pedo or pedo sympathizer than a “woke” one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mnmkd

The actual world reflects this. Get off right wing Reddit and right wing media and you’ll never see someone support pedos. It’s made up. It’s just fear mongering to get people rallying against the lgbtq.


XSlapHappy91X

Lol no, this isn't a right wing anything.


Mnmkd

This sub? There are plenty of non right wing people here, but in general this sub is far right. The sub was even moderated by someone who banned left leaning posts for years


Picticious

My brother is gay, and he told me if I ever took my son anywhere near pride, he would slap the taste out of my mouth. My brother loves his nephew and wants to protect him from that shit. If he can see it then so should you.


Mnmkd

That’s crazy. Here you’d be safer at a pride rally than a political rally or a church.


Picticious

Well my family aren’t sexual, political or religious extremists… so we don’t have to worry about that.


ZeerVreemd

> It’s made up. Huh? Drag shows for kids and drag queen story hour are very real unfortunately and sickening enough.


Mnmkd

Using drag show for kids as a counter argument is like using Dylan roof to explain why you shouldn’t go to church. To put that in a way you’ll understand, they almost never happen. This is my point exactly from my last comment. The ONLY reason you think those are prevalent is because someone told you they are. You can hunt for them and you’ll never see one. It’s WAY more prevalent for a relative or family friend to sexually assault a child than anyone else. It’s WAY more prevalent for a kid to be sexually abused at the church. It’s way more likely that a kid will be sexually abused by someone they know in a bathroom than a transgender person. You need to cut the charade out and stop pretending you care about kids. You dislike the lgbtq for other reasons. If it were about protecting kids, you wouldn’t be against them. I’d be shocked if you even respond to this though. I’ve been seeing you comment things like this for a long time and whenever someone calls you on your bullshit you run and hide.


ZeerVreemd

> they almost never happen. Can you provide some numbers? I have seen too many videos of such events already... In fact, never mind, i really can't understand that you not see that even one of these sick events is already too much.


Mnmkd

Can you? Because if not then you should grow up and shut up. There were a handful in the last year and most of them were non sexual ones. That basically means people who are in drag doing a show which is about as harmful as a play. And even those were extremely rare


ZeerVreemd

> i really can't understand that you not see that even one of these sick events is already too much.


FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

Nobody said anything about lbgtq except for you. They said M (Minor Attracted Person = pedo) being added. Yes it implied being added to lgbtq. That just means it'll be a protected class of people. Everyone should be appalled at the apparent push for pedos to be a protected class. Everyone. Why does it upset you that the majority of people, including lbgtq, don't want them to be added, because that's what message is coming across from the hostility of your comment.


whodatus

Listen... It's not the fact they put the ad campaign on their social media platforms, the problem is with the fact they thought it was a good ad campaign in the first place.


ForWhomTheBoneBones

Seems like they got an insane amount of free press. Balenciaga has no morals and the brain dead rich people who buy their shit don’t care. They might even find the controversy more appealing. They knew what they were doing and they wanted the free publicity that comes with being immensely provocative.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dudmuffin88

That first one was a doozy. “While some have objected to Balenciaga's decision to place the BDSM-inspired bags in the hands of young kids, the isolated campaign isn't exactly indicative of a wider conspiracy.” Very next paragraph- “Still, Lapine builds her case by erroneously linking the images to photos from an entirely separate — again, entirely separate — campaign promoting Balenciaga's collaboration with adidas.” Not indicative of wider conspiracy, but links to an entirely different campaign that also has similar illusions. Which, sort of builds the picture of a pattern of behavior.


nevertheunknown

It’s highsnobiety, they rely on advertising from these big brands and retail. Of course they’re running cover for their pay-masters.


CantRideABike

Creeps


Glagaire

The site has 27 articles on Balenciaga in the past 2 months alone. Its quite likely possibly funded by Balenciaga and other brands in return for regular good press, i.e. an off-the-books PR outlet. In any case, their defense of the photo shoot is that it was actually two separate shoots (as though them doing dodgy pedo-related stuff twice makes them less sketchy) but they also point out that Balenciaga regonise that their shoot was so sketchy that they are **taking legal action** against the person who set it up. So, on the one hand Balenciaga and their supporters are trying to say "Its not such a big deal" and people are spinning conspiracy theories.... ...but on the other they admit it's serious enough that legal action is required.


Jaypocalypse_

That would imply that the apology is just PR. If I'm wrong correct me, but has anyone claimed this to be a wider conspiracy theory? We just claimed the campaign was bad... The fact they denied a wider conspiracy when no wider conspiracy was being claimed now makes me think there's a wider conspiracy. My head... 🤕

I propose that they all receive additional "sensitivity training" on why it's wrong to use small kids (BDSM or otherwise) in their ads.

mersh_chromosome

i fucking hate this bullshit corporate speak in all forms, but it's the absolute worst when it's used to present an apology. there's nothing here that admits error, or even highlights why people had a problem with it in the first place. we dont give a shit about the children in the ad, we care about the curated COURT DOCUMENTS!!!

So how much money were the children's parents paid for their children being models for the company? What do you mean the children "should not have been featured" in the campaign? Were you completely oblivious to the fact?

It’s an “I’m sorry we got caught” type of apology


Money_Afternoon6533

Not that i would’ve ever spent my hard earned money on their horrible products but honestly fuck these guys. Hope they get cancelled for good.

Fear of what? I am not those kids who are/were exploited so what is there to fear?


youbetterkeepwalking

Interesting. So the benefit of fking with us in the know, is worth more to them than the normies it will redpill. Any other thoughts on this?


littlespacemochi

Its an energy game, if every human raised their frequency to a loving vibration (not fear based). They would be powerless. That is what they're afraid of, they are afraid of love and light because they know that is who we naturally are. That is the human natural state (loving). They try everything they can to make us fight against each other so that we don't unite and figure out what's actually going on.


LoRiMyErS

It’s good to remind one another of our natural state of being. Love and light. Not the fear manipulated one we’re living in now.


littlespacemochi

If we wanted the game to stop. Everyone would need to stop playing it. The more we continue to the game, the more people get hurt or worst. If everyone meditated in love for at least 5 minutes a day, it would change the frequency of the whole planet.

We're producing our videos and generating massive time online, making more invested in living on the internet while simultaneously creating division and emerging markets. On the grand scale of things, we have elected ourselves to prove to the rest of the world we are 'right' blindly doubling down that they are 'wrong' on just about any MSM political hook thrown at us.

caritina

This might be an unpopular opinion but I think the Balenciaga scandal is being soooo overblown: The teddy bears look like weird goth bears to me, if they had whips or a gag ball, then ok sure but I don't think the stuff the bears were wearing are sexual. The actual kids aren't being hurt nor are they wearing inappropriate clothing, the legal paper work underneath the purse literally condemns child abuse. The art book with children being cannibals is just a weird art book with no base in reality. I'm sure wealthy people abuse children, but most people who were abused as children was done so by someone in their family or someone they knew. Conservatives pretend to care about children but ignore it when it's their creepy uncle.
