So here are the original ads they ran:

This is the document which is present in one of the photos...

The same ad campaign featured a man with a key around his pinky finger:

Also, another thing with the ad is the bear the child is holding has "Panda Eyes" and if you're not sure what Panda Eyes means, this article explains it:

"Don't mess with children" - Panda eyes makeup meaning explored as Balenciaga is ripped apart over child ad

Balenciaga has apologized for their recent controversial ad campaign.

For those unversed, 'panda eyes' is a common p*dophile slang used for child sodomy. As per Urban Dictionary, which popularized this concept, children can sustain black circles around their eyes due to the trauma caused after an inappropriate act. This looks similar to the eyes of a panda.

Every single one of those twitter sources is a hard right shithead.

there's no evidence of any of this on balenciaga's official instagram.

I think something smells very off about this 'story'

Seeing Cernovich of all people quoted is stomach turning.

This is just a lot of conspiracy nonsense from various QAnon people. The legal documents are from a law-focused photoshoot and not the kid photoshoot. The legal documents about pedophilia are in cases that ruled against pedophiles as well if that matters.

That's because Balenciaga has deleted EVERY Instagram post they made and only left the apology up on their Instagram short/story.

The court case mentioned used a free speech argument to strike down parts of an act meant to fight child abuse material.

Just checked the Instagram page. That apology is real which confirms the ad.

I follow them on insta, they deleted the posts and stories are gone after 24 hours. It's also two campaigns. One with the bears and the other with Nicole Kidman, Isabella Huppert, and Bella Hadid.

I don't even understand what the conspiracy about the Metro Management document and the pinky key are supposed to be.

There's like very obvious pedophilia bait in prominent places, this just feels like your brain has been eaten, OP.

If the correct case is named, pretty sure that's the other way around?


Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234 (2002), is a U.S. Supreme Court case which struck down two overbroad provisions of the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 because they abridged "the freedom to engage in a substantial amount of lawful speech".[1] The case was brought against the Government by the Free Speech Coalition, a "California trade association for the adult-entertainment industry", along with Bold Type, Inc., a "publisher of a book advocating the nudist lifestyle"; Jim Gingerich, who paints nudes; and Ron Raffaelli, a photographer who specialized in erotic images. By striking down these two provisions, the Court rejected an invitation to increase the amount of speech that would be categorically outside the protection of the First Amendment.

The Free Speech Coalition, fearing that Congress's expanded definition of child pornography would endanger their legitimate activities, filed a lawsuit seeking to enjoin enforcement of the CPPA in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. They alleged that the first provision, prohibiting images that "appear to be" children engaged in sexual activity, and the second, prohibiting speech that "conveys the impression" that the images depict minors engaged in sexual activity, were overbroad, vague, and had a chilling effect on their legitimate work. The district court disagreed, adding that the overbreadth claim was specious as it was "highly unlikely" that any "adaptations of sexual works like Romeo and Juliet ... will be treated as 'criminal contraband'".

The Ninth Circuit reversed, reasoning that the government could not prohibit speech merely because of its tendency to persuade its viewers to engage in illegal activity.[5] It ruled that the CPPA was substantially overbroad because it prohibited material that was neither obscene nor produced by exploiting real children, as Ferber prohibited.[5] The court declined to reconsider the case en banc.[6] The government asked the Supreme Court to review the case, and it agreed, noting that the Ninth Circuit's decision conflicted with the decisions of four other circuit courts of appeals. Ultimately, the Supreme Court agreed with the Ninth Circuit.

I did a double take at the headline, and then another at seeing the name cernovich not used ironically....

Not trying to defend but always be wary/double think if you find yourself agreeing with hard right shitheads on topics

Def think Balenciaga made a mistake here, but i also think these right/qanon people are intentionally hyper exaggerating things

They're either pretending they didn't know about it or are woefully inept. Either way it's completely unacceptable.

I hope someone is checking on the well-being of that child.

One of the people OP posted was arguing with Musk for not bringing back Alex jones.

Can't help but feel this is another alt right attack around the smallest bit of something to try and make it a much larger thing.

Just so there's clarity on the other two twitter sources.

en.wikipedia.org

Mike Cernovich - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

In 2014, Cernovich became a prominent figure of Gamergate, which targeted feminists as part of a nascent culture war in the aftermath of the MeToo movement.[91] He encouraged the doxing of opponents, and wrote about women attacking men with false rape allegations.[48] Wired Magazine wrote that Cernovich "gained a kind of leadership over the unruly mob", and that the movement had more to do with identity than with gaming or women.[48]

Cernovich hired private investigators to hound Zoë Quinn, a central target of Gamergate, and worked with Eron Gjoni, Quinn's former boyfriend who had written the disparaging blog post about Quinn which incited the harassment campaign.[92][48] According to O'Toole et al. writing in Gender Violence, "Cernovich's ongoing strategy, even after Gamergate itself died down, has been to promote conspiracy theories, provide dubious legal advice, and offer a constantly rotating platter of targets."

yeah was going to say clicked on one of the tweets and this Hoop guy seems like a shithead using this somehow to defend Kanye. Also subscribed to twitter blue...

If the image is real someone who worked on the set obviously did that on purpose and is a shithead but I'm not seeing "this whole photo shoot is nefarious and filled with weird sexual references" that is implied by the authors of these tweets.

People keep saying this is QA stuff. The sources may be sketchy, but Balenciaga DID apologize, remove the campaign, and say they're taking legal action against the person who set this up. You don't do that for QA conspiracy theories.

We should use sources who frame things honestly. None of the sources in the OP can be trusted to do that.
