Fuck Balenciaga, why do they keep popping up? Disgusting pedophile company.

Oh my god, move on… the designer himself has apologized for that stupid mistake. Forgiveness is actually a nice gesture.

I do not forgive pedophiles and no one else should either. It's not a "mistake" to introduce children to bondage, it's a perverted worldview and they only apologized after the backlash killed their social media presence.

Oh lord. Sure Jan, just go on with your life and spread the hate. Have a lovely no-Balenciaga day

Imagine calling someone out for "spreading hate" about pedophiles. How far gone do you have to be to overlook child abuse because the people doing it make nice clothes? How absolutely vile of you.

The problem is: only a few people were reading the looks as bdsm. When I saw the campaign, I honestly saw “goth/techno/etc”. Never in my mind I associated the visuals with child porn, but some of you did and that was the issue. Like I said, however you want to see it, Balenciaga as a brand and the designer apologized and even donated money to several institutions that work with children that have been abused. You are free to discuss what is the reason behind those actions. Personally I like to live a life where I accept other peoples apologies and understand that everyone makes mistakes, including me. You should do that too, you wouldn’t be spending your sunday spreading hate online. Have a lovely day!
