Recently, the well-known luxury brand Balenciaga has once again sparked huge controversy, with a large number of pedophilic elements being exposed in a series of advertising shoots!

The child models are holding toy bears wearing erotic bondage clothing in their hands, and the photos also contain various BDSM elements(Behavior involving binding, restraint, domination, and obedience)The accessories.

Even more frightening is that netizens discovered that they were secretly promoting child pornography in one of their advertisements

These uncomfortable details are being dug deeper and deeper, and the controversy continues to escalate. However, after the scandal occurred, so far, Balenciaga has only released a limited time dynamic apology.

This perfunctory approach has further fueled the anger of netizens, who must collectively resist it

Not long ago, Balenciaga released a new season of advertisements, which appeared to be about children and toys. A few children stood in a pre arranged shooting scene, surrounded by Balenciaga products.

The overall tone of the shoot seems to revolve around childlike innocence, with many dolls, bunny toys, graffiti, pink feather pillows, and more around the children.

Everything seems to be fine, but there are some subtle areas that make people feel uncomfortable.

A netizen was the first to discover the strangeness of this set of photos - the toy bears held by children in their hands or placed next to them.

One of the teddy bears was actually wearing a fishing net see through suit, with leather straps that had a binding effect on its limbs, and even a chain around its neck in addition to a collar.

Another doll held in the arms of a child was actually wearing a set of erotic restraint clothing, also made of leather.

These dolls had appeared in fashion shows earlier, but there is a fundamental difference between having adult models hold them for runway shows and having children hold them for photos.

Young children should never be arranged to be photographed with these sexually suggestive 'toys'.

Afterwards, another Twitter user discovered terrifying details in other advertising photos of Balenciaga.

In a handbag advertisement, the placement of a document at the bottom seems somewhat deliberate.

So netizens enlarged the content of the file in the photo and found that it was actually a document from the United States Supreme Court in the case of "United States v. Williams".

In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that the prohibition of selling, providing, disseminating, or trading any child pornography is constitutional.

This opinion itself is good, but when it appears in a "sexualized child" brand advertisement, the meaning changes. Most people believe that Balenciaga is secretly promoting child pornography.

As a result, public opinion further escalated, and more and more netizens began to notice the anomalies in Balenciaga's advertisements, discovering even more chilling aspects.

Do you remember the photo of the child holding a teddy bear at the beginning? In that photo, the teddy bear has a lock hanging around its neck.

In another photo of Balenciaga, an adult male model happens to be holding a key in his hand.

This strong suggestion, in the words of netizens, "looks very, very pedophilic

After the first two photos were widely criticized by netizens, Balenciaga replaced them with another children's themed advertising image.

In this photo, the BDSM teddy bear is still placed in the room, just not held by the child.

But in the eyes of netizens, the arrangement of this shooting scene seems even more bizarre.

Firstly, there is the child model standing in the center of the room, wearing a pair of red shoes on his feet, which highlights the strong color throughout the light colored room.

This immediately reminded netizens of the "Red Shoes Club" - a popular saying on the Internet. Many people believe that the royal family, Hollywood celebrities and other elites belong to this club, and they will kidnap, sell, sexually assault and even kill young children.

Red shoes refer to the sexual trade of hunting children.

In the photo, on the ground to the left of the child, there is tape, a ski mask, and some keys. This combination is also suspicious because netizens think it is a series of things needed for kidnapping or crime scenes.

In addition, the letters exposed on the tape have also caught the attention of many people. The English name for Balenciaga should be Balenciaga, with the first three letters being BAL. However, due to misalignment, the word "BAAL" happened to appear on this roll of tape.

In some accounts, BAAL is referred to as the existence of "demons". The appearance of BAAL in the Parisian family is considered a manifestation of "demon worship", and some netizens have pointed out that "its rituals involve sacrificing children".

Besides BAAL, the candles at the child's feet and the table behind him made netizens feel like a child sacrifice.

People also found that various graffiti on the walls appeared several times with faces and images symbolizing demons.

In Western culture, demons are often described as creatures with red faces or red bodies

Interpreting so many meanings from a single photo, some people may think it's just a coincidence and there's no need to extend it to demon worship or child sacrifice.

But another advertisement image from Balenciaga has made netizens more determined about their idea of "smuggling private goods".

In this commercial shot by the renowned French actress Ypres, there is a stack of books on the table behind her. Even if you don't pay too much attention, you can still notice the book with a row of capital letters written on the spine at the top.

That row of letters is the name of an artist - 'MICHAEL BORREMANS'.

His works are extremely terrifying, filled with themes of pedophilia, bloody rituals, dark religion, mysticism, racism, and have featured numerous scenes of children being exposed.

These images and "insider stories" have had a huge impact on netizens, whether it's the controversial child pornography at the beginning or the increasingly dark details dug deeper, they both make people feel both terrifying and angry.

The Parisian family is already dead in my eyes. I don't care what explanation they can come up with. Children are the bottom line

"The Balenciaga scandal is getting worse and worse. Don't confuse people's opposition to Balenciaga with the Internet boycott culture. This matter is much more serious, because it is related to children.

Balenciaga needs to explain how all of this content involving child exploitation came about. ”

For the disgusting demons of the Parisian family, resistance alone is not enough, they should be criminally prosecuted.

There should be no mercy towards pedophiles or anyone who promotes pedophilia. ”

Parents are strongly opposed, and on a mom website, netizens' reactions are very excited.

She(The little girl in the advertisement)It looks less than 5 years old, these photos are really inappropriate. ”

This is really disgusting to the extreme

This is a very uncomfortable scene

The public opinion on social media platforms has exploded to an undeniable level, with well-known media outlets reporting on it one after another, but the reaction of Balenciaga has disappointed many people.

According to reports, they first restricted netizens' comments on Instagram, and then when the situation escalated, they deleted all photos on their social media accounts and only apologized on limited time updates.

In the apology statement, they stated that these advertisements have been removed and that legal action will be taken against the parties responsible for setting up the filming scenes and using unauthorized items.

Then we strongly condemn any form of child abuse.

Many people scoff at the so-called "apology" of Balenciaga.

Balenciaga has just released its most disgusting apology in history

Balenciaga apologized and deleted photos not because they truly felt sorry, but because they were caught.

The deception and brainwashing of children is really scary. ”

If Balenciaga really cared about this matter, they would never have launched this series of advertisements from the beginning, or would never have raised this theme

At this point in the development of the situation, Balenciaga is no longer the only target being criticized by netizens, and many first-line Hollywood stars closely related to the brand have also been targeted by netizens.

For example, Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman, in the current controversial situation, has officially partnered with Balenciaga to launch the latest promotional campaign and posted the photos she took on her social media platform.

Angry netizens immediately flooded into Nicole Kidman's Instagram comment section:

Supporting companies founded by pedophiles? Sigh

So you support pedophilia? It's too embarrassing

Please, can you please not get involved with those pedophiles? Please speak up for the children

Actress Mariska Hargitay supported Nicole in her comment section, praising her beauty and calling her a "beauty expert," but was also criticized by netizens.

Because Mariska is known for her fierce opposition to child sexual abuse in real life, it is difficult not to feel ironic that she is now leaving messages in support of Parisian families in the midst of the storm.

However, the most eye-catching celebrity related to Balenciaga is Kim Kardashian, who has been wearing this brand almost all along for a long time. In February of this year, she became the spokesperson for Balenciaga. With the child pornography scandal, everyone is eager to see how she will respond.

In fact, she, like Nicole Kidman, did not have much reaction and was even photographed wearing Parisian style clothes when going out on Monday.

Supermodel Bella Hadid did delete some photos of Balenciaga, but not all of them. They remained silent during the scandal.

But anyone who has some connection with the Parisian family has now been criticized by netizens.

So who should be responsible for this sexualized child photoshoot? Many people immediately pointed their fingers at the photographer.

The photographer's name is Gabriele Galiberti, who used to work for National Geographic magazine. In response to this scandal, he issued an apology statement on his social media platform.

According to him, he is not responsible for the creativity and direction of the shoot, and products and models are beyond his control. He is only responsible for the lighting.

According to his and Balenciaga's apology statement, those responsible for this incident should be the staff who filmed the scenery.

But netizens feel that this is just Balenciaga throwing the blame, without high-level approval, even if these photos are taken, they cannot be posted.

Now they have not only released these obviously 'problematic' photos, but also caused a huge uproar. In the eyes of many people, this is the Parisian family's usual trick - to attract attention, but this time they have already surpassed the bottom line.

Balenciaga may have already 'apologized', but everyone knows that the reason why these advertisements were able to be published must have been approved by the highest level of people.

This is a promotional strategy that attempts to gain attention through controversial content. I will never accept their apology.

Sexualized children are absolutely not allowed. ”

What certain brands do under the guise of promotion is truly disgusting.

Balenciaga issued a statement saying that this was just a 'mistake'. Is it possible for such a big company like yours to make such a mistake?

In my opinion, this is another gimmick that creates brand buzz. If you don't think so, you can try to convince me

I know that a lot of Balenciaga's marketing relies on 'shocking and eye-catching', but this is too disgusting

I'm starting to hate the fashion industry, not because I hate designers or clothes, but because their recent promotions have gone beyond what humans can accept.

The Parisian family must accept punishment for this child pornography scandal, in my heart it is already dead. ”

The vast majority of netizens have this attitude. At this point, they cannot tolerate Balenciaga's perfunctory behavior and must give a decent result.

No matter how eye-catching it is, we cannot cross the bottom line of "protecting children".
