Balenciaga cancelled, but fast fashion supported?

[LaureenVO]

Balenciaga is 'cancelled' for child abuse. However many people who cancel Balenciaga, support fast fashion shops like shein. Fast fashion where child labour and abuse is very common. Of course it's not the same, because Balenciaga 'sexually exploited' the children, but how is it fair to support cheap shops, just because it's affordable for you?

I understand many people don't have the priviledge to shop from expensive stores, but there are also other options. Like thrifting your clothes. And before anybody attacks me saying 'thrifting clothes has gotten way too expensive lately' try thrifting online, I literally find so many clothes on there for 1-3 euro's. Even more affordable than thrift shops who are trying to earn more and more money.

I also said this on another site, but everyone got mad at me and attacked me saying I'm ignorant and that shein is amazing.. however that was a site more for children, I'm curious what the reactions on here will be, because they acted as if I said something incredibly disturbing.

Lastly, fast fashion is also becoming more expensive lately,

I would say shein is either using slave labour or setting up a front for money laundering drug money cause their prices are crazy low. Modern slavery still exists and that is why I do not shop at Shein.

Both of the above almost certainly... I wouldn't shop there even if I was paid

exactly. It is modern slavery, but many people don't care about that sadly. All they care about are the low prices. Well guess what, if the prices are too low, someone isn't gonna get paid

Indeed, I buy quality because even designers aren't slavery free
