Ain't no way anybody thinks this looks good. They just get cheap stuff from China that purposefully looks horrible and sell it to rich assholes at ridiculous prices.

        i mean it's the normal connection that every industry that employs young attractive people in a performance capacity has, which is that they are offered life changing sums of cash and gigs in exchange for sexual favors

          Well yes but specifically, this particular controversy was about using some AI/fake child in an advertisement featuring sexualized clothes

          Never mind. It was a real child.

            So, for everyone being aware of the pictures:

            I don't think the kids are being sexualized, and how I read it, it looks more like a critique of the use of ever younger models on the fashion industry.

      There was a Balenciaga ad that had some paper with text visible. The text was from the SCOTUS ruling that said virtual CP was not CP under the law.They sued the producer of the ad, claiming it was them that provided the prop.

      Weird as hell, but I'm not sure it means anything.
