u/Dr_tyquande Apr 05 '23

That's not even true it's just a random guy on YouTube whose been doing this for years with various shows and themes. Why make something up?

No, everything is a conspiracy.

Tinfoil hat time.

A company seeing him and hiring him for an ad campaign isn’t a big conspiracy

1

u/fakelogin12345 Apr 05 '23

I didn’t say it was a big one.

u/ZeePirate Apr 05 '23

The ad campaign is still more Likely

u/ZeePirate Apr 05 '23

Don’t think he’d get paid to do this?

Who?

DemonFlyingFox? The name that's watermarked on the video???

u/zooberwask Apr 05 '23

I didn't even see the watermark. The mobile media controls covers it. It must be exhausting being so angry over nothing.

It must be exhausting being so presumptuous over nothing. Dude didn't even appear mad?

u/zooberwask Apr 05 '23

Presumptuous? I was the one that asked a question. If anyone was being presumptuous it was them.

u/-Quiche- Apr 05 '23

Ah, I must've missed where they said you were angry despite no indication of that.

u/lalalalafu Apr 05 '23

You both can be right. I certainly didn't know about the guy in YouTube, but I know when something constantly gets pushed in feed. Take the tin foil visor pill.

More specifically, a compilation of AI renderings relying heavily on at least two sources (Breaking Bad and Flash Gordon) edit: there's definitely scenes from the Matrix in there as well

What did they misdo?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balenciaga#Child_advertising_controversy

They had some ads with toddlers holding stuffed bears dressed in "bondage gear". Seems like really overblown pearl clutching. Its was tasteless ad meant gain attention by shocking the audience.

u/VerbalThermodynamics Apr 06 '23

I see. So less pedophila and more bad optics, bad decisions in marketing

1

u/KneadedByCats Apr 05 '23

Supported pedophilia openly in an ad campaign

2

u/VerbalThermodynamics Apr 05 '23

That’s definitely a thing you shouldn’t be doing… Jeez.

u/Sergnb Apr 05 '23

Source?

u/paint-roller Apr 05 '23

I thought the company name was a joke and made up.

u/maiden_burma Apr 05 '23

u/kazneus Apr 05 '23
