reason10 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 https://www.foxnews.com/media/200-lgbtq-groups-demand-target-restock-pride-merch-release-statement-now-no-thing-neutrality 200 LGBTQ groups demand Target restock Pride merch, release statement now: 'No such thing as neutrality' More than 200 LGBTQ groups angered by Target's decision to pull Pride merchandise from shelves are demanding the company "denounce extremists" and restock all the Pride merchandise in stores and online. Excuse me, FANNIE FAGG, but if you're DEMANDING your line of homo wear be placed up front in a store, YOU'RE THE FCKING EXTREMIST. Crawl back under your rock, and try not to rip your dress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspektiv Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 'They don’t actually support us. They only care about money,' No s***. Same reason Nike sings the graces of this community in the west, but is radio silent where such views would lose them business. They also get pressured into being woke. Businesses should focus on what they are good at. Selling things. You alienate many buyers by focusing on politics. All businesses must be inclusive. It's the law. Discriminatory behavior could get you in hot water. Posting about it, is typically more virtue signaling than actually caring. The fact this is shocking to some, boggles the mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impartialobserver Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 What a nonstory. Xyz group demands that someone do this or that. I can demand anything I want and most likely.. nothing happens. Dirty little secret.. the core demographic to most retail is ages 16 to 35... not 55 to 65. Ages 16 to 35 spend a larger share of their income on consumption goods as opposed to investment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 I feel like I am the only one posting that I am disappointed with the idea of working through social issues via competing boycotts. That said, if you're happy that InBev's stock went down when the Bud Light boycott took off, or happy with this new Target boycott then you have put your chips all in with these Boycott Wars. So I don't see how you can complain when others do it. Myself, I don't care. I don't see the point in boycotting based on who they do and don't market to. And if your brand is also bought by lots of queers or none, why do you care anyway?

Excuse me YOU IGNORAMUS, but this alleged "non story" was published in FOX NEWS, and then in other networks. You may not like that people on YOUR SICK TWISTED FAGGY side of the aisle are so extreme as to DEMAND their trash be shoved in our face, but it definitely is a major story, just like an unelected senile pedophile tripping over a sand bag. PEDOPHILES basically demanded special treatment from Target, after the introduction of the PEDOPHILE merch cost the company BILLIONS in revenue and major losses in stock prices.

reason10 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 I feel like I am the only one posting that I am disappointed with the idea of working through social issues via competing boycotts. And yet boycotts have a place in history for bringing about change, good or bad. In this case, the pro PEDOPHILE merch (that cost Target so much business and almost tanked its stock prices) caters to a sector that is less than a percentage point of the country. It was not a good business decision putting that stuff EVEN IN THE STORE, much less totally up front. That said, if you're happy that InBev's stock went down when the Bud Light boycott took off, or happy with this new Target boycott then you have put your chips all in with these Boycott Wars. Personally, I'm kind of like you as far as this Bud Light fiasco goes. I never cared because I never drank that overpriced pi$s tasting, watered down beer to begin with. And try as I may, I haven't seen ANY Bud Light cans here with that freak Mulvaney's puss on it. As one with a marketing degree, I think Andheiser Busch should FIRE it's marketing team for that idi0tic campaign. It IS funny watching Target squirm, while these entitled pedophiles try to act as if they are relevant. I think that is a hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I am railing against the masses here... I guess you agree, ok. 2. If there was general support for it, though, would you be ok with it ? Do you trust companies (corporations really) to assess the risk to their brands on this account ? Because in some cases you *will lose the good fight, if the mob disagrees with you. 3. Fair take. 4. Yes but lots of brands continue to celebrate Pride, likely in a more geo-targetted manner.

All it takes is a few loud mouth wokejobs to take a business or group hostage. This is exactly how homo activists work. Target has already displayed this trash in its stores. There's nothing keeping them from going right back to it if they get enough pressure from the perverts. Fortunately for the normal side of America, we have an equal (if not stronger) response, and this puts Target in a tough spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Target's stock price is tanking and sales are down the toilet because of this faggy shit. And a bunch of pedophiles are DEMANDING that this shit (THE SHIT THAT HAS TANKED TARGET'S SALES) be brought back to the front of the store. That's not a story? ON WHAT PARALLEL UNEDUCATED UNIVERSE? These entitled pedophiles are trying to shove their sick shit in our faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they get your blood boiling this easily... quite Pavlovian. in the meantime, get as worked up as you want and I will wait and see how it plays out.

There are people with a lot more awareness than you that don't want that kind of shit anywhere near them and their family. Target is supposed to be a family store, not a stronghold for activists. If you don't give a shit either way, then why are you in this thread? Just put your blinders on, like you do in Target, and go find a thread that actually pushes your hot buttons.

I am not one to wax nostalgic but I do wish we could go back to that grand time in the early 2000's when politics (real or perceived) was not interwoven in every thing that you do.
