Balenciaga apologises for bondage bear advert involving child

Really? Is that all you have?

No comment on whether she's making a very valid point here?

I don’t know much about the court case but this is from another thread

The documents are a print out of the 2008 Supreme Court case, United States v Williams, which criminalised the publishing of child pornography.

I wonder if they were put there by a stylist who was revolted but couldn’t say anything, hence the suing claims.

It’s removed deniability if so and good for them

If it’s the other way around then that’s just stupidity and I hope criminal case is made, either way I hope it’s made

Yes, totally agree @MoirasSaggyBundles it's group think at best.

Well said @DysonSpheres Sick of the constant trotting out of conservative = bad and wrong, so I can't agree with them even when I agree with them. It's this type of childish polarising politics that have got us to the point we are at now.

Just watched that clip and she’s sponsored by anti abortion clinics

Sigh. So?

She's a woman with a huge following drawing attention to this issue and getting ir out in the world. Or is outrage only valid if it comes through the right people on the left?

It is the 'progressive for progressivism sake' and 'Inclusive for inclusivism sake' attitude of the left that has got society where it is and women in the worst place they've arguable ever been. And still you support them. Blind willfully?

And the body language guy with amazing foresight predicts his broadcast will be cut in his opening statement. Talk about staging!

Just watched that clip and she’s sponsored by anti abortion clinics. As well as being very wooden and reading off and auto cue the whole time. Is there really no one else speaking out about this?

Candace Owens speaking on it here:

I'm not surprised by this, personally I find the outrage all a bit 1. Late 2. Selective.

It has been obvious for a long time now, that children have been exposed (and intentionally targeted) to incredibly sexualised performances, songs, videos, books and magazines for decades now by an array of high profile people of both sexes, many of them celebrities. Things that were once watershed are daytime, films once considered 18 are 12A. Soft porn music vids on YT. Singers with lots of young impressionable followers simulating sex on stage. All supposedly fine by most people and parents who are at best naive.

Such loosening of standards has helped create a culture where childhood is not sacrosanct from being pervaded by people with evil agendas, since the lines have been blurred. The mass grooming has been done very effectively, and it's now their time to capitalise on the groundwork.

It's a runaway train now. It's too late to realise the problem.

Did the parents sign off on these pictures and photo shoots?

Never ceases to amaze how some parents will take their kids to anything: it's just a bit of fun!

Crikey

Oh my, the 'body language guy' on youtube was investigating these photos and is not impressed, he was showing some tweets by reduxx then suddenly paused and cut the stream -

There’s something off about the photo of the little girl in Utah on her verandah. The choice of toys is really odd. If you look, you’ll see what I mean.

Well they have a lot of explaining to do, hmm?

I have no words

It was bad before, but seeing it in conjunction with these photos makes it so much worse/more obvious what the intention was.
Fucking vile

In other words, Rochdale Syndrome.

Despite this being all over twitter, there has been fuck all about it from Owen Jones, Billy Bragg or anyone of their ilk.

And do you know why?

Because to condemn this would put them on the same side as the likes of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Fox News.

And that would, apparently, be worse than child abuse and paedophilia.

This is true, of course. I‘m just saying there is no awareness whatsoever in the industry.

The most shocking thing of ‚paedophilic imagery in plain sight‘ was actually in the art industry. E.g. the pictures of Biljana Djurdjevic are incredibly disturbing. They gained prominence during the ‚Pizzagate‘-madness, so it is hard to bring them up without being considered a nutter. But it is, frankly, hard for me to imagine that anyone without sadistic sexual fantasies would consider buying or displaying some of that art.

But apparently any sensitivity is missing in the art industry (to which I see fashion photography related) and it is all just an aesthetic expression of the freedom of art or something…

Pornographic allusions in the context of young girls are a corner stone of the fashion industry‘s aesthetic, and I assume for this very reason.

These are pre schoolers though. I'm not saying sexualised teens are acceptable, but this is very different.

You can’t expect anything from the fashion industry.
Many model agencies have been acting as conduits for super-rich guys to sexually exploit underage girls, many in their early teens.

Bingo. You are 100% correct. It is insane but how to explain what is going on without appearing to be a tin foil hat lunatic.

One of the links on here led me to a video which was apparently from Cartoon Network (not Balenciaga I don't think) which has actually made me feel really sick to my stomach & incredibly thankful my kids are past the age to watch that sort of channel.

yes, what the bloody hell was that??

Well, after seeing some of the stuff from Balenciaga, if I see anyone wearing that brand I'm going to assume they are either a pedo or a pedo apologist.

It's a full time job giving children a chance to grow up even to reception age with some innocence intact nowadays.

But for me, from now on Balenciaga will always be a pro-pedo brand.

Nobody just happens to have copies of those sorts of court documents lying around on a fashion shoot by accident.
Nobody picks that photographer who takes that style of images by acccident.
Nobody designs that sick twisted product by accident.
Nobody approves that advert by accident.

That was Balenciaga, telling the world what they are.
This is not 'edgy', this is utterly depraved.

I’d like to see this from a criminal pov. If it’s sexualised imagery of children, maybe that would stop this happening again
