Well…the problem is, people will STILL flock to their stores (despite this bullsh*t) and buy their worthless Chinese-made crap. That is all… "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Or, maybe jhe is wearing some pastel colored under somethings this very moment. On second thought probably not, it's not his style. But if he did he wouldn't be afraid to tell us, so we can appreciate that. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||

I'll be honest, when I started in Retail back in 1980, the dress code was khaki or dress pants, a white or pastel button up shirt, and a tie, I wear a lot of bright colors now, shirt wise, and pastels as well, https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

What it is, is a red herring. It's not that the clothes are in pastels, it's that "TRANS PEOPLE WiLL ALWAYS EXiST!" is printed on the clothes and the letters just happen to be pastel colors. Yeah. We're all taking issue with the aesthetics, and not the content. The colors and the shitty font gave us the vapors. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

I like pastels. "Tuck friendly" crotches and "tuckwear for Toddlers" for your transgendered children not so much. When I looked at the 2nd photo down in the linked article, it became clear what that was, never heard of it before and and stunned anyone would publicize and support such a thing. I wish had had shopped there before on occasion so I could stop now, but I don't shop there. This only reaffirms my decision. Done with them. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...womens-swimwear.htmlThis message has been edited. Last edited by: jimb888, | |||

Before companies buy inventory, they project a profit / income statement to figure out how much to buy and what profits they can expect. I'm with you as to who thought they were going to make money on this? I tried to think maybe they figure they'll be hassled if they don't do it but, it's not like they can't see how the markets have been reacting to Bud and the like. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Fox News ran a story yesterday headlined, “Target CEO Says Woke Capitalism ‘Great’ for Their Brand and ‘The Right Thing for Society’.” The sub-headline, which should have been the top headline, explained “Some Target stores have been forced by the corporation to move LGBTQ merchandise from the front of the store amid outrage.” How about that? It might be one of the fastest turnabouts in the company’s history. As recently as May17th, Target CEO Brian Cornell told Fortune’s “Leadership Podcast” that the company’s new Pride-themed clothing lines were “just good business decisions, and it’s the right thing for society, and it’s the great thing for our brand,” Cornell said. I wonder if he really thought that. Then yesterday, after widespread public outcry over Target’s new Pride collection of clothing for kids, and “tuckable” outfits for adults, news broke about “emergency meetings” corporate had with retail store managers, directing them to remove some of the items and move other items to the backs of the stores. Fox quoted a Target insider who said the corporation was hoping to avoid a “Bud Light situation.” The insider explained, “We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size. From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage.” And that’s not all. Users reported that the entire Satan-themed Abprallen collection was rudely deleted from Target’s website without notice. The Washington Post ran a related story yesterday, headlined “Target Removes Some LGBTQ Merchandise From Stores Ahead of June Pride Month After Threats to Workers.” Haha, threats to workers. Sure. Let’s see the police reports. The “threats” they really mean are threats to PROFITS, which the struggling retailer can’t afford right now. Anyway, of more interest is WHICH items were removed — WaPo called them “LGBTQ” items. The article wasn’t specific about which ones were removed, but I was pleasantly surprised at how accurately WaPo described the devil-worshipping Abprallen line: Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company that designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ clothing and accessories, have also created backlash. It does look like the Abprallen items were the ones removed. The brand still shows up in Target’s typeahead search suggestions: But they’re not in the catalog, not anymore: Now, I wonder how normal gay Americans feel about the Washington Post describing these occult- and satanic themed clothing as “LGBTQ clothing.” Attention gay Americans! You really need to start getting “loud and proud,” because the Left is doing a better job of linking you guys to the Devil than the Christians are. Anyway, Target was just trying to nip this thing in the bud light. The company’s prompt corrective response would never have happened without the Budweiser boycott. Thanks, Bud drinkers who changed brands. https://www.coffeeandcovid.com...ack&utm_medium=email "Some things are apparent.

^^^^^^^^ Thanks. Good report! Serious about crackers | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Read another article, where Target is blaming it on "conservative" threats against LGBTQ type merchandise. Such BS, hopefully people are catching on that the game is to show your company pushing this Trans bullshit marketing that you need to bump your scores, and now when it fails, it's only right wing haters that complain? They have actually had to sit down and come up with a full plan to deal with this from soup to nuts, or implementation to dealing with backlash and who to blame. And I don't even have my tin foil out yet... | |||

I think these corporate CEOs are going to have to start fielding questions at shareholder meetings like: "Please explain your "Get Woke, Go Broke" marketing strategy? How does losing 30% of your market share help the company and specifically the shareholders?" "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.

You miss my point. Target is not leading the culture wars. They are reacting to them, because giant corporate retailers react to this kind of stuff, they don't invent it. Target's real goal is to sell consumer goods, not to turn boys soft. Many of us fear and dislike these these changes. I am in agreement with that. But that doesn't lead me to mistake Target as the cause and source of these changes. That is a mistake, but it is an easy mistake to make. The culture is changing, and Target is reacting to it. There is an argument that those who like these changes are the noisiest, and so get more attention from the Targets of the world.1 But when we see the sort of reaction that Anheuser Busch got, it warns the corporate giants to not ignore the large, less vocal and more traditional buyers. And because I do not see it the way you do, doesn't mean I am not smart or deliberately obtuse. It means we don't agree. Don't demonize people who don't agree with you. I know the members here, and especially those who like to talk politics (as opposed to those who just talk guns), have a certain viewpoint. But don't let the clannish mentality on full display in this thread make it too easy to shut your ears and not think questions through. Don't breathe your own fumes. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Target is reacting to a cultural change. It is also dedicated to changing the culture. If Leftists and the perverted can change the culture why is resistance to it ridiculous? You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

| would not care to elaborate  |
"Target CEO defends LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing amid boycott calls: ‘The right thing for society’" Sure, some leftist corporate hack knows what is right for society. | |||

I am not against resisting. The point is standing here claiming Target is behind this misses the point. And it makes efforts to resist harder, because it causes people to miss what is really happening and misdirect their efforts. Target will react to economic pressure. It is the only thing they will react to because making money is the goal. The goal in the Target boardroom is not to change culture. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
