So why are we angry at Targets Pride clothing?

Question

This isn't appropriate for children? And is "indoctrination". But we have no problem with these? Or these?  I think I would choose the rainbows and kindness...

Mainly 2 reasons.

Many of the items are targeted at children. This religion is all about sexuality and of group identity. It is all about your sex preference... and making that sex preference the all encompassing idea that your sex preference is who you are. People identify themselves almost completely as being part of this group. Their identity isn't as just being an individual person... unique from every other person, their identity and life purpose is derived from being part of this "group". It is like a religion, a cult.

This is then directed at kids. Sex and sexuality shouldn't be directed at children. Evil.

2. It is political. It is also very controversial. Most people don't want politics in their beers, clothes, sports. They just want to be LEFT ALONE.

Bringing politics into their shopping and sex groups targeting kids are probably the 2 biggest reasons the consumers have reacted against Target and Bud Light.

About the beer. Beer is usually sold to college students, men, regular guys who like cars, and sports and cook outs, and bars. They just want to drink beer, watch the game and be left alone about fringe politics and sexual identity politics.

Beer companies CHOSE to go there and bring politics and fringe agendas into beer. Trans people are NOT the target customer for cheap beer. It is average guys, who are men's men, who love sports, football, golf, basketball, baseball, cookouts, car racing... etc. They had to make their customers get involved in these sex controversies by choosing to buy the beer. The customers just wanted to be left out of these divisive agendas, they just want to drink beer and watch the game. By forcing the consumer to get into politics... the consumer revolted and just bought other beers that didn't force this crap on them.

Companies choosing to force political agendas and fringe causes on people is causing them to lose customers who want to be left alone.

I find it a little annoying, since I think in general you should not make the topic of someone's sexuality be forced down on people. It should be incorporated in the same way being people straight is in our lives is something you don't even notice, but only subconsciously do. This normalizes it, whereas forcing it causes divisiveness amongst people. (movements/gatherings are different besides for those who oversexualize it)

This goes for shows/movies as well, as it's quite often forced in those and its annoying. Shows like Banshee with the character, Job, and the movie Call Me By Your Name didn't feel that way. It felt natural and like a genuine part of the story instead of some political agenda. The only times their sexuality was brought up was in situations it made sense, as that's how life is as well.

I don't think they are complaining about the rainbow shit.. they are complaining about the "SATAN RESPECTS PRONOUNS" t'shirt that is colorful and childish looking but is essentially saying "come join us evil doers because we don't judge" lol As for the other shit I would never put my own kids in those kind of clothes because I don't agree with that stuff either because there are pedo's everywhere, so just no.
I don't think it is a big deal because if I don't support a cause I just wouldn't buy the clothes.. no need to get crazy about it.

Target doesn't mind losing some money as they are hoping to cash in big time down the line. Other stores are doing the same.  Target is going woke, not broke

normalice · Answer

Because no one will vote for a republican based on merit, so they have to make people mad. This also accomplishes the goal of getting people to think the way to stand up to corporations is NOT to make them pay their taxes and share their profits with the workers who did all the earning, but rather to belch out anger over the gays at them. And further the way to stand up to republican Christian nationalism is NOT to simply vote Democrat, but instead to go shopping for a rainbow shirt.

In the end, to see how serious this is, look at how much money these so-called "woke" corporations donate to Republicans compared to how much they donate to Democrats. Spoiler: it favors republicans. It's not even close anymore. And republicans happily accept it. Its all a distraction to keep people from voting on the only thing that actually matters: stopping republicans from giving the rich more money. That's their only actual goal and the only thing they ever actually do when they get power. And not a single woke corporation has spent a single penny lobbying against it.

that's not what I was seeing and what I saw was front and center in the store. Unnecessary, and no... I don't have pride in the "+"... that includes all kinds of weird stuff I don't agree with. People can put whatever message they want on a shirt but at the end of the day, these are some messed up people in various ways.

Put it in it's own section in back I can ignore and I don't care so much. Some of the messaging on those shirts is garbage, but so are lots of shirts. has no business on kids clothes to suggest "Bitches" by Beeches". Garbage society!

Satanists need jobs as well, so it's good Target can employ them.

So why are we angry at Targets Pride clothing?

Some say whatever goes up must come down & right now targets stock price is $126.99 a share & from what I see people aren’t angry enough for stocks to go on sale.

In 1998 the stock price was around $21.19

In 2013 the stock price was around $61.54

In 2020 the stock price dropped to about $97.40

The company has around 400,000 employees & unfortunately if the company takes a loss employee hours & jobs will be cut to make up for the difference.

Kabluie · Answer

I bought some Target pride stuff before and after the backlash to support them more. Actually glad I nabbed those rainbow platform sandals because they sold out of them now

The satanic designer, Abprallen was what they pulled from the shelves and website. As they usually have guest designers for their pride line every year. All the stuff they had from his lineup this year was harmless though, like 'Live, Love, Lesbian'. 'Cure Transphobia, not Trans People'. They should have kept that last shirt though because that's what some of these conservatives are.

It's not about the rainbow or the color, it's what behind the symbol, the rainbow is beautiful if it's only a rainbow, i'd never encourage to what's behind the rainbow, it means the lgbtq+×÷-= community...

I believe that there's only men and women and that normal people are only straight...

I'm against homosexuals, trans and all these twisted people but would let them love freely as long as i doesn't approach me or approach my ideology...

In my book, real love, real marriage, real sex and a real family is only between a 1 man and 1 woman...

Why did you omit that the pride section was offering breast binders and swimwear aimed at children meant to "tuck" their genitals?

But if you want an answer, even as a trans-supporting bisexual male, people are tired if getting this crap shoved down their throat. I love me some femboys but even I am so tired of hearing about all this. Not to mention, children are incredibly impressionable, targeting children with this is questionable at BEST.

RavVid · Answer

I think most of what you are showing is inappropriate sexualizing. The clothing looks to be for young children.

It seems like parents are choosing to push their children along paths. I think the rainbow items are saying that the parents are wanting their children to be be gay or lesbian. I do hope that is as far as they go.

msmissydc · Answer

Sexualisation was allways fine as long as it was between a male and a female. This just proves that age isn't a problem for these people either.

BeMuse · Answer

Who's angry? This is what it's all about, exposing communists for what they really are. Before they were hiding in the shadows trying to move the agenda down the road at a turtle's pace so that people wouldn't notice. Now they have to expose themselves at "Warp Speed"... What you thought that was a vaccine thing? No... Now people can see. That's the entire point. It makes us happy every time a company is exposed. No more sleepers.

monorprise · Answer

People who have children know how impressionable said children are by design and don't want them learning harmful ideas. Ideas that would nessarly prevent them from living a natural life as the parent did.

That said I stopped going to target when they opened the bathroom. I prefer to shop in places that allow women some kind of security when in a compromising position.

Sasahara · Answer

Why you are angry at Target, I can only guess but you dislike Pride or something?

I'm not American, but I would think its possible that people can dislike multiple type of clothes at once and maybe the pride thing is what "broke the camels back", as to speak.

Anonymous · Answer

Your pride examples are not balanced and your representation is the thin end of their wedge.

The other examples are not something I would have put on my kids. But then neither are they being pushed at people as soon as they get in through the door with corresponding signage.

ShesRad80 · Answer

doesn't bother me either way. but a child that small can't even grasp the concept of up and down yet parents are trending them out. its insanity. what a kid chooses as they get older is them but at that age its cringe

shortster · Answer

I think that it has to do with who they were partnering with. One of the designers was a Satanist who had clearly anti conservative bent; to the point of promoting their execution on his clothing. Also they donate to a group that advocates helping kids hide their transition from their parents.

exitseven · Answer

Because our kids do not need to be exposed to this lunacy. It is just another form of indoctrination. They want our kids to actually believe there are 52 genders and that men can give birth.

Anonymous · Answer

The last two are ironic and funny.

The whole contraversey was sbout tuck friendly clothes for kids. Also LGBTQ is great and all but they are maybe 1% of the population, so who is target intending to sell this too?

CALIGVLA · Answer

It's so ironic that liberals and you Karens say things like "be nice" when we all know y'all are literally the most hateful, hypocritical, immoral and fanatic people on planet Earth.

Cb142 · Answer

Snakeyes7 · Answer

What if I told you that the rainbow is also a Christian symbol of God's promise to never flood the Earth again? Would you call seeing rainbow flags in schools Christian indoctrination the same way you would see crosses everywhere?

Cherry picking items isn't helping you prove why Target lost 9 billion in a week.
