Gonna put a big ole TW all over this post for w*hite supremacy n*azi imagery and iconography.

Hey, Sims community. It's been a while, I know.

I felt the need to pop in from the Second Life community to let you know that a creator working on both the TS4 platform and the SL platform has been outed over here as a n*azi sympathizer/supporter. This creator is known as ARCHIVEFACTION and TERFEARRENCE.

I'm still compiling all the evidence of discussions and evidence surrounding the situation at hand, but below you will find screenshots of ARCHIVEFACTION/TERFEARRENCE using neo-n*azi imagery in his SL product ads for his product The Confluence Pearl Necklace, which he had released approximately 2 weeks ago at the Access Event in Second Life.

What started it: I'm unsure of which came first, the Twitter post or the Virtual Secrets post, however, they were both found around the same time when Facebook and Twitter started discussing this.

The original Twitter post and the original Virtual Secrets post.

It has been discussed at length within the Second Life community, and the creator was called out. They altered their event photo for the second time.

The blog site Seraphim goes around shopping events in Second Life, and takes photos of all the vendor booths. When Seraphim took their photo of his Access event booth, this was the ad display:

At some point, just prior to the Access Event opening, he changed his booth ad to the image that included the "w*hite power" text and neo-nazi symbols, which appeared on his Flickr until yesterday:

Yesterday, he cropped his ad photo at the physical Access event, and deleted the Flickr post (as well as other undetermined photos from his Flickr feed), issuing an "apology".

This is not his original apology/statement. I read the apology when it was first posted, and it was only a few sentences saying things about a language barrier. I do not currently have a screenshot of the original apology, but if I find one, I will update this post.

That said, the general consensus is the apology is BS, and it is not being accepted. Many people feel that if you are a content creator primarily selling to a western audience, you should be making damn sure you're not using any foul language or offensive material; that "language barrier" is no longer an acceptable excuse.

Another SL creator has been very vocal on social media about ARCHIVEFACTION, and has apparently been watching them for quite some time. Asserting that ARCHIVEFACTION has on multiple occasions produced products with w*hite supremacist and neo-n*azi words and iconography, and has been disseminating it throughout SL for some time. I've not seen any screenshots of these things, but I did take a look at his Flickr before the apology/statement, and saw some concerning dog whistles for w*hite supremacists and neo-n*azis.

Another user also pointed out that one of his pieces of jewelry had neo-n*azi symbolism to it:

Lastly, it appears his whole "brand" is a rip-off of Raf Simmons' book, The Fourth Sex, and a real-life brand "POST ARCHIVE FACTION":

His Tumblr homepage + Raf Simmons' book "The Fourth Sex", where ARCHIVEFACTION has clearly ripped off the artwork.

While no one owns a certain aesthetic, the brand name is clearly being ripped off for a virtual iteration that is not associated with the real-life brand.

All this said I'm putting this out to the TS4 community as it seems his skins and looks are widely popular for its hyper-realistic, high-quality, edgy take. I would hate for the Sims community to also support someone who clearly has been stealing and perpetuating hateful ideologies in our beloved spaces.

I am purposefully leaving out any links to his socials and websites, as I do not want this POS to gain any further traffic. I hope these screenshots suffice in my desire to share this issue. I will try to fill in any missing gaps of information when and if it becomes available, but I am definitely coming here in good faith.

Martin Margiela, New Artisanal Photos / Yaanic Kata for Origin Regression

Composition & Test Toru Ukon, Yasuyuki Takase EAT

What is the new artisanal to ask Maison Martin Margiela?

We will use a wide variety of existing items as materials and manually remake them into new clothes. Martin Margiela says that the Artisanal, which he has been doing since 1989, will be renewed this fall and winter. What kind of challenge is "new artisanal"?

I asked Nmartin Margiela 10 questions.

Q1 From this 05-06A / W collection, I heard that the Artisanal Collection will return to its original origin at the time when it was first created and restart. First of all, please tell me the reason.

A1 Artiza for women and men from this season

For the first time, the Naru collection will be available in a very limited number only at Maison Martin Margiela's retail stores. Each season, we propose about five themes for women and men. Each theme will be available at the Margiela shop in Malta for about 3.4 weeks until the next theme is replaced.

Over the last few seasons, we have felt that various restrictions have increased in the process of creating art. This is for us because the existence of these clothes (labeled "/" for men) for women is based on the idea of ​​free creation. It was a very strange thing! It was going on in the years of analyzing why this happened. It turns out that this is due to changes in the scale of production of these clothes. Artisanal is the most important and endorsed creative expression that began in 1989, the start of the Maison's activities. Initially, it was placed in only a few select shops in the world, and it was possible to produce very special items. Over time, the number of shops dealing with them has increased, and more and more clothes have been remade by this handicraft. It became difficult and pressured to find enough raw materials and existing clothing to meet this demand. If we couldn't find enough materials, we could have to give up on the creative realization. I thought it was time to change something.

Q2 The new artisanal that has returned to the origin and the recent artisanal. What's the biggest difference? A2 The time spent on production is greater than before. Some doors this season will take a full four hours to be built in the atelier! Examples of this are blouson for men made by collecting vintage fur trapper's hats, and also pilots from the 1930s. There is a blouson made by collecting hats. Also for women, the original material has, as seen in antique chandelier crystal drops that are no longer used, remade into neckless and bracelets, and jackets made from a collection of antique wigs. We are particular about weight and authenticity).

A blouson that recognizes and forms a sheepskin pilot on a mannequin. The production period is actually 4 days. There are 2 colors in total, and 7 items will be sold worldwide. (Martin Margiela Leather Blouson ¥ 1,575,000 (Martin Margiela Japan)

Q3 You continue to use "craftsmanship" or "handmade" processing. What kind of fascination do you find in such methods?

A3 The power and energy of clothes that already have history and stories. Utilizing the energy of those clothes as they are, they are new. It's about pointing in a creative direction. In many cases, there are objects, accessories, and things that have nothing to do with it. Cotton bandage shoes, wigs, crystals and more are good examples!

Q4 I'm always surprised by the artisanal that reuses unexpected materials. How do you get inspiration for those ideas? A4 Ideas come abruptly, as if a friend who hadn't been in contact for a long time suddenly appeared !! Never, when, how, and why. I don't know, but I'm glad that the other person is there and the dialogue begins!

Q5 Women's "" and Men's "/" arties

Compare the Zanal collection to the newness and value you seek

Is there any difference? A5 There is no particular difference, but when it comes to clothing for women, I think there is room to pursue creation in extreme areas. What is for women may have the property of allowing such force and breadth.

I don't know.

06 It was a work that I would like you to decorate in the museum, such as the leather blouson reconstructed by the sheepskin pilot that I shot this time! Do you want the same reality as other lines even in such artistic artisanals? A6 Clothes are always clothes !!!! Creative or clothes! Artistic! Clothes are still more or less

There is none.

Q7 Do you think "fashion is not art"? A7 Applied art, a craft, but it is not art in a social sense.

Q8 Dismantling the vintage and adding a completely new value

Remake. Did you discover anything by continuing with the bold artisanal method? AB It means that clothes that already exist and have a history have more power than their materials. It contains energy with the potential to be directed in new directions, along with life and traces of life!

Q9 What is the biggest difficulty in making clothes for Artisanal?

A9 We explained our recent challenges as an answer to the first question. Other problems are very real. Find materials, handle them properly ... Take on the challenge of the ideas in them.

Q10 The biggest thing in making clothes for Artisanal

What is it? A10 The freedom of creation that this gives us, the wonderful opportunity to share with people, and the various dialogues that this process triggers.
