In our new two part series, we seek to unpack the controversy around Balenciaga, and the malicious fascist forces whipping up a 24/7 moral panic news cycle concerning the brand's latest campaign photos. Who stands to benefit from the outrage, and who might lose everything? 

We also would like to preface that this episode concerns frank and serious discussions about sexual assault, trafficking, and the like. We do not take these discussions lightly, nor do we wish to downplay the legitimacy or importance of these discussions.
