    They don't have the display up at all in our local Target.

    I get why they do this chit, what I don't understand is who thinks its a good idea? There is nothing to be gained. There aren't enough trannies around to gain sales, so why risk your brand? Again, I get it, they are liberals who want to shape culture towards the rat side of things, but they are a business first with shareholders who could give a chit about men wearing bikinis that hide their dicks (so fucked up).

    The modern day leaders of these brands had nothing to do with building them. They don't have any sweat equity in familiarizing the world with a brand name and doing whatever it takes to draw patrons in. That is why this is happening. Even with that understanding, it makes zero sense. Stay focused on business and stop the virtue signaling and they will come.

    The liberal response to this obvious take (why make political statements as a business that has nothing to gain from it) is "it's not a political statement that's trans exist!"

    To which I reply yes it is. Trans shouldn't exist. Trans is completely and utterly fucking insane. They should be in a mental house. Or they are just dudes who like to cross dress. Which is fine, but other people don't need to feed their delusion that they actually are a chick lol

    @TheKobeStopper (RIP) says you're a bigot for not wanting to bang trannies.

    Their market research must be telling them they can get away with it and will grow sales as time goes on.

    Seth Dillon has a great thread on how Women can end this woke BS very easily. Stop partaking in it today.

    There’s no business case on the inventory turns that make sense. Probably an ESG one though that does.

    YBFE ever. I could care less if you want to cut your dick off and play woman. Go fir it. Live and let live. But do not expect me to embrace your decisions or call you a woman. You aren't, just cause you feel like you are. Your weird fetish proclivities will not get my admiration or approval. Do whatever you want, but leave me the fuck out of it. I think you are a weirdo. Go be weird somewhere else, and have fun doing it. Stop trying to make me support it. IDGAF.
    Like I don't even think the trannies of like early 2000s and the 90s expected people to think they were actually women lol

    This is a new thing and it's purely political

    So only direct results can be measured I guess now.

    But Trump incited violence.

    If so, they need to hire a different and competent market research team.

    Pretty sure they avoided gay pride month in the Middle East. Target has stores in UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. So brave. So stupid.

    When Target was the first to allow mentally ill dudes into their bathrooms as long as they posed as women there was NOT enough outrage. So like progressive always do they push just a little bit further to test the waters. I think this pride shit has come at a time when women are saying enough.

    There's a boycott taking place and women are leading it. The Left doesn't understand because they can't define what exactly a woman is. I think they're about to find out. They make a stand against Target and other companies will take notice.

    FTR, I saw none of this in my favorite FM store.

    It's possible that the reason the Bud and Target shit backfired so badly is because it isn't just conservatives

    Yeah I think it's mostly just the average person being fed up with this nonsense. But like bud light is the easiest thing in the world to not get once it's a meme.

    At least target bring some sort of value to the average person so it's not like a major boycott is gonna happen or anything

    I think it's over 65% of the country. There will always be the SJWs and liberals who support whatever woke nonsense they're told.

    Then there are the people who don't care and must tell everyone how much they don't care.

    Target doubles down! Backs GLSEN who promotes secretly transitioning kids and encourages teachers to do so. But they aren't grooming...

    Maybe Bud Light finally showed conservatives they could push back with their pocketbooks. All of this DEI virtue signaling comes at very little cost to corporate America. Once it starts costing them they might actually stop wading into culture wars and just conduct business. NOGAF what Target supports. Fuck off and sell me underwear or flip flops.

    Down $16 billion in market cap
