@daringfireball why does everyone hate Balenciaga so much?

@danedeasy @daringfireball teen and juvenile bondage advertising... they're trying to be hip but instead look like sickos.

@daringfireball Just got the Balenciaga scoop from my post-millennial. They've been running a bunch of ads highlighting teen and juvenile bondage. It's all over bad look.

@daringfireball I don’t think Bitcoin should engender a lot of trust, but it’s not a company—right? Weird they included it in that list.

@daringfireball Balenciaga has always been a Republican obsession because of their edgy fashion shows where people wear all black. These Republicans genuinely believe that these fashion shows are satanic (like actual dark magic in the real world).

There was one ridiculous ad campaign that included children holding handbags that were made to look like teddy bears wearing bondage gear.

It was obviously just another “dark/edgy” thing, but Republicans took it way too seriously.

@daringfireball data seems suspect as Comcast and none of the cellular companies are close to the worst

@daringfireball After reading so much Roe v Wade, MAGA, GOP, book banning, transphobic trash about the US political scene this list breathes hope.

@daringfireball I don't trust a "most hated companies" list that omits Comcast.
