Target store pulling back all the stops Login/Join

I have read a few interesting stories about Target stores and their ceo getting behind some really bad items. I am sure many of you know about their new "trans" swimsuit/clothing lines and now they are teaming up with a satanist and his clothing line. I can only imagine if these are the "birth pangs", how much lower our society will go.

Target is a Progressive Leftist company. I've known this for years. What disappoints me is that Fox News is Drudge-ifying. Now it has an LGBT policy that requires non harassment the definition of which is left ominously vague but infers other employees must participate and affirm using pronouns. That is the poison pill. This is Fox News.

I saw a video online showing boys clothes in a Target store and how feminine they were. I thought it was fake so over the weekend when I went to Target I checked it out. Sure enough, a full shelf of boys clothes in pastel colors with butterflies and rainbows on them. Even a shirt with a dinosaur had a rainbow in the background. Freakin disgusting.

Pastel colors - surely not. The horror.

The OP got me thinking: I don’t think I know the religious affiliation of the designers for a single piece of clothing I own. I suppose it is possible that I already own clothing designed by a satan worshiper. I know I don’t have any clothes with overt satanic messages on them, but I really couldn’t guarantee that none of them had satanic designers. For that matter, I don’t know if the designers of my clothes were atheist, catholic, lgbtq+, trans, black, or white. I’ve never looked into the matter. More importantly, I’m not sure I care about the value system of the fashion designer enough to buy or not buy an article of clothing. If the clothing sucks, or has some message on it I find offensive, I certainly would avoid it, but I think that is about as far as I’m willing to go. I’m not trying to say anyone is wrong for feeling more strongly about this. Just saying that I can’t seem to muster up much give-a-shit myself on this one.

I’ve read your posts before and know you’re a smart person- so I’m not sure how you don’t understand my post. It’s not about just pastel colors and I’m sure you know that.

When I lived in the Twin Cities my Target store in Roseville, MN sold pistols, ammo, and gun supplies. Maybe 1967. No longer, I’m sure.

P. S. – I just remembered a funny incident at that store. I needed some naval jelly to remove rust from an old steel tool. I asked a clerk where I might find it. He suggested that I try the pharmacy department. Smile

I have to wonder at the marketing strategy.

You develop, brand, buy, import, and stock clothing in Target stores nationwide that is important or useful to a tiny fraction of the population?

On top of allowing $1.2 BILLION in shoplifting ("shrink") in CY2022.

Brilliant plan to destroy the corporation.

It's not just the designer's belief (Abprallen),but the fact they are actually putting satanic objects/symbols on the apparel items targeting young people. They, Target, will be stocking lapel pins, shirts, hats, etc., with satanic symbols-pentagrams,etc., with them stating for example- "satan respects and doesn't care about your pronouns". The company ACTUALLY promotes satan on their clothing line/ideology. That is the scary part.

They were all over the news and Sigforum in 2016 due to their transgender bathroom and changing room policy. The 2016 transgender bathroom and changing room policy resulted in millions of people signing AFA pledge not to shop Target. Might seem tame now, but DEI wasn't even a Wall Street metric back then so it was very big news.

A few smaller boycotts came from 10+ years ago became the first big box stores to sell sex toys and 2014 came out against concealed carry.

So, which is it, Pastels? or Satanic clothing? I don't think these two things go together.
This is all I can think of though:

Oh, I’m sure the parents dressing their young boy in a girls bathing suit and forcing him to tuck his reproductive organs into a built in (by the manufacturer) pouch so it looks like he has a vagina is totally normies yo.

You guys are all boomer angst because of pastel colors.

He can fuck off with that bullshit obtuseness piety.

I have been in the local (Johnson City, TN) Target a number of times between 2016 and 2021. I never saw - or don't remember seeing, but I'm sure I'd have noticed - any of that. I doubt it would have flown.
