‘Threats’ prompt Target stores in US to withdraw some Pride Collection products

So still gaslighting?

still obsessed?

Where are the best and worst school systems in the country? Who's turning out the "diminished quality students"?

why dont you do the research instead of asking me. And I wasnt talking about "which school system"
i meant national scores averages compared to other countries -i was very clear about that
( stop thinking you know what im saying and just read what i wrote)

Dont you have something better to do with your time rather then chase me around with misrepresentations of what I said?

 

[roguenuke]

There was no attempt on the part of the designer for people to understand that (if that's even what was meant). You can't blame others for you own poor messaging.


I don't know what makes one a "social media pusher" - but people say stuff all the time that doesn't go viral. This did because of the Satanist merchandise and instagram posts which the designer has now deleted.

Except for his words about it, or even lack of. Show where he has said he is a Satanist. Not you assuming he's a Satanist because he put Satan amusingly on some items, in some designs. Show where he has specifically stated, seriously, that he worships Satan, is a Satanist.

Trans designer behind Target's controversial merch isn't intimidated by alleged death threats

Target is facing boycott calls after releasing LGBTQ-inspired merch for which it collaborated with designer Eric Carnell's brand Abprallen.

Because having apparel that also says "Witches and Wizards love Trans people" isn't a clue about the intention?

Right, which shows that you don't care that we basically have at least 50 different school systems in this country, with some doing better than others. There's a reason that some states do far better than others when it comes to education in the US.

its amazing. you misrepresent what i said, set up a strawman argument and then debate with yourself..lol
have fun with that.

well good riddance to all that rubbish.
Nothing against LGBT but most people see that shit plastered on websites or in stores and barf quietly in their mouth.
Woke corps are busy telling us YOU MUST BE INCLUSIVE SO HERE IS A BUNCH OF TASTELESS CRAP TO WADE thru

Personally if i had kids i'd make them wear blindfolds..rofl "ok take them off and see something not shoved in your face.

It's not that were' intolerant of LGBTQ, it's we're not interested in being bombarded with wokeness constant screaming
we must appreciate that marketing or we are bigots

If you puke in your mouth when you see all seasonal displays, then no, you're not a bigot.

If you only puke in your mouth when you see seasonal displays that celebrate LGBTQ folks, then yes, you may be a bigot.

There's your sign.

 

[roguenuke]

take a chill pill. Im talking about the constant bombardment of woke crap. not any 1 thing in particular
You dont get to determine anything either...like the saying goes it's a free country.

The marketplace decides. So far it looks like Target is getting whacked, Bud Light got whacked
I dont know if you are a socialist or just a S.J.Warrior, but the beauty of all this is the "invisible hand of the marketplace"
as it should be

Target loses $9B in week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing

Since the controversy erupted a week ago, Target’s stock has fallen by some 11% while its market capitalization has shrunk by some $6.4 billion.

It's still wrong.

We could easily point out the far worse bombardment of Christian "crap" all over. There are at least 3 churches within about a mile of my house, several more within my small town. Billboards proclaiming how we're going to hell, praise Jesus, have you repented. Christian radio and TV stations, shows, megachurches. There are people coming to my house to tell me all about Jesus and how I'm going to hell. Christian chaplains implanted in some public schools now, by law.

But yes, LGBT+ stuff is "all in your face" by simply being available for purchase, at a store, that sells stuff, including Christian crosses, Christian books, Christian movies, and stuff with Christian messages on them far more than the LGBT+ items.

Also, though, yall were supposed to be already boycotting Target. Conservatives claimed a similar outrage in 2016 about their bathroom policy, saying you'd take them down. The reality is, you may cause some temporary sliding, but you don't really make a difference in the long run, when people forget their outrage for the next thing they are told to be outraged about.

The New York Post notes states that some were disturbed by the satanic imagery such as pentagrams, and horned skulls featured in the designer’s products.

just lovely. makes me all warm and fuzzy inside

I'm addressing your argument in a more transparent perspective.

You could stop overreacting, or at least those people who felt "disturbed" could.

Do you think it is okay to create drawings of Mohammad? Did you find the backlash to be ridiculous and disturbing, wrong about that?

it's the bombardment of innane merchadising mot of the world is completely disinterested in
Obvious i dont "puke in my mouth" i just like to turn a colorful phrase - more interesting

But I do a lot of this -yes

Obviously some people barf in their mouths when they see Pride merchandise. I would suggest that is rare and an overreaction to say the least.

Talk about obnoxious marketing.

I love rainbows

jeese. is it the morning coffee? why you are skittering from subject to subject?
There is a valid prohibition of "graven figures" in the practice of Islam -

Many (though not all) Muslims reject visual representations (e.g., images and sculpted figures) of religious figures, or even visual representations of living things, seeing it as a form of idolatry (worship of physical objects), which is inconsistent with their monotheism. https://www.britannica.com/question/Why-are-images-of-Muhammad-generally-prohibited-in-Islam

I respect religious convictions, i also respect the ability to lampoon by virtue of free speech
What that French magazine that routinely does representations of Muhammad? I find that a healthy tension
of competing interests

It was meant to bring up that just because someone is designing something that may go against your religion, or you believe is bad because of your religion, doesn't mean that you or others within your religion are correct with your assumptions or outrage over those depictions.

The bad part is, I didn't agree with at least one of the designers designs, feeling it was too far. But that isn't even one of those that people are complaining about. Instead, the complaints are all about "Satan" and then making the assumption that because someone draws a joke picture of Satan they are therefore a Satan worshipper. That is a ridiculous and illogical leap.

For the record, I'm for people drawing depictions of Mohammad and against any sort of violence over that. That's part of freedom, but so is drawing pictures of Satan.

Im Buddhist. i dont care for woke crap, but not because of any religious sensibilities .I consider it a waste of time and a minor annoyance trying to shove woke into every possible cubby hole

agree it doesnt make them a "satan worshiper" but it makes them consciously dealing with such
and you said one went "to far" -so do you get the average person is rightly repulsed by such?

im not for or against it - im not Muslim , but i completely agree on non-violence responses

Except for his words about it, or even lack of. Show where he has said he is a Satanist.

The merchandise itself is Satanist. There's no asterisk on the shirt with a little blurb at the bottom attempting explain away the graphic.

It was designed to be controversial and to piss (certain) people off. Mission accomplished. The designer doesn't now get to act all surprised, innocent, and indignant.

Not you assuming he's a Satanist because he put Satan amusingly on some items, in some designs.

If those were meant to be "amusing" the designer did a terrible job.

Show where he has specifically stated, seriously, that he worships Satan, is a Satanist.

Why? Show us where people who fly the confederate flag have specifically stated, seriously, that they want to bring back the confederacy.

Because having apparel that also says "Witches and Wizards love Trans people" isn't a clue about the intention?

What intention does this item clue us into?

 

[Dans La Lune]

the west (specifically USA) is debauched, and the progs are the leaders of that effort

Define debauched in terms of policy or action as it relates to progressives. Especially when it is the right-wing who are the closet perverts, always being exposed with their literal pants down.

Please tell us what the state should do to control moral behavior. I mean, you're famously pro-Putin, so I guess you approve of the government being leveraged against homosexuals, with state violence.

Or Idiocracy--my radical-left mom loved that movie

President Camacho is far more eloquent and less bombastic than modern right-wing politicians, so it fails parody. Right-wingers would be like, 'Meh... why do we need Camacho when we have Trump'?
