Converse Ad Controversy and Cultural Critique

So a lot of people are talking about Converse pulling this

ad, which features

a K-pop star who goes by the name Karina, after the ad started to draw

comparisons by social media users to the Klan.

Now, there are a couple things I find

interesting with this whole story.

One is that people are so desperate to find bigotry

that they will find it in

anything, anywhere. But see, if that's all you're focused on all the

time, and

you're looking for it everywhere, you're going to see it, even when it's not

actually there. Now, like I said, Converse has not only apologized, but

took the ad down. Here's the statement Converse released.

"We're sorry," the company said. "We understand this image

is deeply upsetting and

recognize that we got this wrong. We removed it from our channels and

are working

to remove it everywhere it appeared.

This should not have happened, and we will do better." My gosh.

Now, what else do I find interesting about

this? Let me show you.

This is fashion designer Rick Owens, very famous, and his wife,

Michele Lamy, the high priestess of Satan to all the

stars.

I'm gonna show you something where you don't have to zoom in and crop things and

draw things on the photo just to try and make it look like something it's

not. Yes, I'm talking about this. This was an ad put together by none

other than Converse and Rick Owens. Now, this is not manipulated.

You don't have to manipulate this photo to figure out what's going on here.

There is a pentagram in the mouth of one of these characters.

They are creating a pentagram with their bodies, and neither Converse nor Rick

Owens were trying to hide that fact.

And many Christians, rightfully so, were speaking up against it.

But you didn't see Converse pulling ads and apologizing.

You didn't see that happen. Same thing happened with the Lil Nas X

shoe put out by

Nike, and Nike owns Converse, for those that don't know.

See, it just says a lot about our culture

today, that people will get upset and

go after this young lady and Converse for putting out an ad

for a shoe where nothing at all is Klan-like or

anything of the sort to anybody who is not completely

brainwashed. But when they are blatantly and unapologetically

throwing

Satanism in you and your children's face, you have no problem with it.

I just, I just find that interesting.
