Banksy told his followers to shoplift from the Regent Street Guess store in London after it displayed a collection that used his artwork without permission.

Excerpt:

Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.

The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.

“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”

    No people that post with a “hurrr durrr you don’t like theft fight me” attitude are children.

    Finally dragged out of you

    Dragged what out of anyone? You’ve misunderstood basic words, jumped to conclusions, and are now irate.

    At the same time only one of things you shit your pants about.

    Like I don’t… I don’t know what the heck this is supposed to mean? Do I take you seriously or assume you’re a child? My best bet right now is to assume you’re a child by the way you’re responding. How is it controversial to be against theft? I dunno apparently it is 🤷.

      It took several posts for you to admit art theft is bad. Which one of us doesn’t like theft, again?

      You’ve misunderstood basic words, jumped to conclusions, and are now irate.

      “u mad bro” wow another great argument, damn you’re knocking it out of the park.

      Like I don’t… I don’t know what the heck this is supposed to mean?

      But I’m the one struggling to understand basic words lmao.

      My best bet right now is to assume you’re a child by the way you’re responding

      As opposed to the totally mature way you’re responding, which is *checks notes* telling the other user he doesn’t understand words, calling him mad, and constantly accusing him of being a child. Wow I sure am glad there’s a real adult in the room.

      Anyway at this point you’re just calling everyone who disagrees with you a child and refusing to actually engage with the argument, so I’m not going to waste my time any further. Have a PIGPOOPBALLS loser.

        Listen to yourself. Several posts to admit. What are some sort of detective? As if you’ve uncovered some hidden secrets? Because I hadn’t used the words theft of art is also theft you assume I am pro art theft? This is your faulty logic, buddy.

        Anyway at this point you’re just calling everyone who disagrees with you a child

        I’m specifically calling you a child 😉. Because you’re a child.

        refusing to actually engage with the argument

        You have no argument. You’re straw manning and trying to pick fights. Stop.
