Target: Go woke and go broke

[Crakhobarbie]

nah see you all have been doing this virtue signaling shite for too long, it has gotten old and now people are tired of it.

so, thus comes a boycott like target.

So what your saying is one can only push the bigots so far before the bigotry starts overflowing?

 

[Crakhobarbie]

selling a Pride onesie for 3-month-old kids.

Omg,!!! A babies onesie with a rainbow on it!!!!
The horror.
How do you force yourself to get out of bed each morning knowing this rainbow onesie exists?

 

[rahl]

You can't correct me when you are in fact wrong.

but I am objectively correct, which is why I corrected you.

Liberalism is a DISEASE.

advertising and movies aren't protecting shite. if you want to protect someone, stop bigots who will take nasty actions towards them (the small minority that they are) when they decide to do so, would be my advice.

The people who are attacking trans people are social conservatives.

and have honest conversations about the bathroom, sports and child transforming issues.

There is no problem with bathrooms, sports and children. Those are all manufactured outrage by Fox and others on the right.

Target becomes latest company to suffer backlash for LGBTQ+ support, pulls some Pride month clothing

Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers. Target declined to confirm which items it was removing but among...

Target is becoming the next Bud Light. I am going to short Target the stock. Again, go woke up and go broke down.

Americans will not tolerate the extreme political messages these large corporations are trying to make.

This is a warning shot to all retail stores, if you go woke, you will suffer. Workers will be confronted, customers will be angry and cause backlash.

CEOs and executives need to learn or they will suffer the consequences.

You were already supposed to be boycotting Target, 7 years ago.

What a highly intelligent rhetort.

I used to know a girl named Becky but all the guys called her Bucky...
One day my four year old daughter asked me why..
I told her that they called her Bucky because she was into "rodeo".....

Should Target start selling KKK merchandise?

So if they were/are selling the confederate flag or anything with it, should people boycott Target, insist they should go broke for that?

The stock has reached a 52-week low!

Kohls as well

BLAME BUD: Target, Kohl’s suffer in latest boycotts over LGBTQ merch

In the wake of Bud Light’s nightmarish fiasco in the wake of transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, other companies are feeling the pinch.

torontosun.com

Kohls saw a rising number of #BOYCOTTKHOLS hashtags online after conservative commentators posted about how it was selling a Pride onesie for 3-month-old kids.

“In case you need clothes for your Gay or Trans 3 month old, Kohl’s has you covered,” online commentator ALX wrote alongside a screenshot of the onesie. “Yes this is real.”

Benny Johnson also asked his 1.5 million followers: “Why is Kohl’s selling ‘Pride Merch’ for 3 month old babies?”

A widely shared video — which the maker said was initially removed for hate speech — also highlighted other Pride clothing for kids.

My favorite is the actress who will no longer shop at Target because they moved the pride display and she feels her six year old son who she's decided is "nonbinary" will no longer feel welcome at Target.

first you are going to have to show who the hell is "flaunting" white heterosexuals. It's not happening.

seeing as that is the norm however, by a large margin, I would expect MOST advertising would be for non trans people (as heterosexual does not even figure into it.. things a homosexual male would need tend to be along the same lines, because they are both Men and or women. )

So Sleeping Beauty wasn't about white heterosexuals? Cinderella didn't involve white heterosexuals? Snow White and Nancy Drew aren't white heterosexuals? Romeo and Juliet isn't about white heterosexuals?

 

[roguenuke]

The stock has reached a 52-week low!

And? It reached lows before and bounced back up after conservatives forgot all about their outrage to move onto the next thing social media and rightwing pundits told them to be upset about.

I don't care whether they are or not, what people are trying to tell progressives is that their sales pitch is getting a bit old.

I don;t care whether the little mermaid is purple, MAKE LESS MOVIES that have to have wokeism in them, because people are sick of having a damn political message in their entertainment and everything they do. The market is oversaturated.

it comes off as 1984ish think like I do or else.

@Hypothetical please work on editing your post so it can be properly quoted

As for the post, you are getting things so mixed up. Sexuality is about being heterosexual or homosexual or bisexual or asexual, whereas being transgender is about feeling as if you are a different gender than your birth gender. It is not about who you are attracted to in regards to intimate relationships, which is sexuality.

You first claimed that white heterosexuality wasn't being thrown in our faces. I presented you with several well known stories or characters who are in fact white, cisgender, heterosexuals.

that is not true, because the most recently I know of those characters is from 20 or 30 years ago. secondly , I am not preaching to you at every turn about white cisgender heterosexuality and calling you an ass if you do not accept that fact.

And LGBTQ+ merchandise doesn't make these companies a personal profit?

There is definitely a place in society to sale LGBTQ+ merchandise, but it certainly does not belong in the mainstream.

Wow. Stores have their merchandise sorted into different areas. It is clear that the anti LGBTQ people are just creating trouble by even venturing into an area they do not want to shop in. Target is removing certain merchandise to protect their employees and customers from their bigotry.

They should be ashamed of themselves although those that feel shame would not do anything like this.

As far as "woke' goes I am so tired of the word being abused by the right.

I guess because I want to learn about different people's cultures and support their rights; I would be considered woke and I am honored to carry the label

That's tough.
If you don't like it, nobody is stopping you from making your own "asleep" movies.

So you see yourself as a victim....

There's a Nancy Drew TV series that started in 2019.

I just had evangelists at our door about 2-3 weeks ago telling us about Jesus. Never had a transgender person or any other LGBT+ person at our door telling us about their lives, how fun it is to be LGBT+.

Cinderella 2014 (one of so many)



Frozen - Anna is definitely white and heterosexual.

There's a new Snow White movie coming next year, according to the schedule.

Snow White and the Evil Queen - Wikipedia

There's a new version of Romeo and Juliet every decade.

No, you aren't.

You aren't even functionally correct.

Functionally, you are arguing for something that doesn't exist anymore, as science has basically proven that sex and gender aren't actually connected.

No, you aren't.

of course I am

Gender is now completely meaningless.

Jesus is not a white person.

well I am honestly surprised they dare to use cisgender white females in this day and age.

in any event, that is not preaching to you about heterosexual white people. Am I constantly telling you how heterosexual white males should be able to go to the bathroom in women's bathrooms? do I constantly call you a bigot or worse id you disagree with me?

the message is too saturated.

Wow, just a lot of crap thrown in this post.

Jesus is presented as a white person by more Christians in the US than as Middle Eastern, Jewish.

Ensuring that any men or women are able to use the restroom without being harassed is not preaching to you. In fact, the only reason they are having issues now is because of people like you having a cow and harassing them because pundits told you that's your target.

Why would you have any reason to call me a bigot? Are you unaware of what that particular word means?

Did you buy the stock?

 

[roguenuke]

Did you buy the stock?

Why would I? I'm not interested in the stock market in general. I think my husband has some for retirement, but my feelings are that stock markets and selling parts of companies up as stock is one the main reasons our country is so broken.

That doesn't at all matter though to this discussion. The fact is Target stock jumped up (like many similar retailers) during Covid and now is going to come back down. People are going to blame this, call it backlash for going woke, but in a month or 6 months or a year, it will equalize and likely head back up again because market forces don't work that way and people do forget.
