It would appear that Target is the current boycott to watch as people are unhappy with the 'tucking' clothing and pro-trans products being marketed to children.  The left has finally gotten the right to start taking boycotts seriously.  All it took was a man dressed up like a woman on a beer can.  Do you think this boycott will be as effective as the Budweiser boycott?  Target executives are already having emergency meetings to try and get ahead of this issue as they do not want their sales to reflect a 25% decline like Bud Light.

It makes me wonder. If big companies know that an important percentage of the population is willing to go into an active boycott against any conglomerate  that do things like these ones. Why continue to do it ?

I would have guessed those businesses were all about profit, if the profit is being sacrificed there there must be other things in the equation regular people do not know about.  ???

Is Target trying to redefine the bedrock of American capitalism ?  :P

Nothing my friend the truth can be brutal. So are the boycott against these so called suffering gender. Either big brands are flooded with individual that support this gender or are confused. They are destroying their own identity for a silly left propoganda. They might get permanently boycotted by some who hate this idea. You know what I mean!

I am not opposed to those who are genuine and are suffering but I am opposed to those who represent the left and trying force wokeism within the society for their personal benefits.

I think it isn't that the companies wanted to do it.  I also heard that Budweiser executives had no idea the trans can was being made.  It seems that people get themselves into positions where they're in charge of marketing and then use it to push their personal agendas.  Maybe I'm wrong and these businesses just made a bad bet, but I don't think so from what I've read.  I hear that Target may be issuing an apology soon so maybe we'll hear more.  Times are changing though.  Soon it will no longer be legal to have your child's penis cut off before they're old enough to speak.

Well, I am not an expert at businesses or marketing, but the marketing department is not supposed to have the last say on how to promote or advertise a product or service, specially in these times when PR is so important for the survival of any interprise.

I best guess is that executives were aware of all of this in Target and they thought it was a good idea, because we are getting closer and closer to the month of June, or the pride month. Otherwise, it would imply that the advertisement department has even more power on the image of a brand than the executives and shareholders themselves, which sounds ridiculous and unreal.

Funny i thought that conservatives/right were against cancel culture, but i guess the would be pointless to point out hypocricy as they seem to be totally unaware of it.

But what comes to their boycott, so far i haven't seen any company going broke because they included of being "woke" to their branding. In fact, quite the opposite.

But who knows, USA seems to have gone backwards after Drump gave them haters, qanon conspiratards, misogynists, regilious biggots, racists and spoiled insecure incels who now declare themselves as alphas a god damn megafone just by being an embodiment of them all.

From across the pond reading their tweets and news it seems like they are going straight towards "handmaid's tale" type of world.

Conservatives are against boycotting things for political opinions. Boycotting a brand that is helping perpetrate the largest child abuse scandal the world has ever seen seems a little more serious than trying to destroy an individual’s career because they said, “all lives matter.”

Cancelling people’s careers for saying common sense phrases everyone should agree with. Bad.
Not shopping at a store for trying to get your 4 year old son to cut off his dick. Good.

Is that simple enough for you to understand?

I don't like commenting on LBGT issues because one can easily be misunderstood. Sometimes I wonder about the extent people will want to go just to promote their personal or group agenda. The promoters of LBGT rights like to go the extra mile to force their stands on people. It was alleged that a particular president of America ensured that a President of my country lost elections because our president rejected his orders to legalize gay marriage. His government ensured that our country suffers from economic blockage because we refused to do their bidding.

Target has to carry out a damage control program because an apology will not repair the reputation damage this move would have caused them. If any company tries that in my country, they will go bankrupt because of the strong religious background of my country.

Guns don't kill people, but a T-shirt will make you trans.

::)

Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll still be able to buy your tuckwear online.

This mental illness is spreading. Not giving your money to enablers isn’t a bad thing. Mentally ill parents are literally cutting off the breasts and penises of children so they can be “celebrated” by corporations like this. It’s sick in my opinion and isn’t about t-shirts, it’s about giving impressionable kids a way to feel accepted by sterilizing themselves.

Merely out of curiosity, what the actual fuck are you talking about? Outside of botched circumcisions, children don't and can't get sex reassignment surgery, only consenting adults do.

Makes me wonder what the approach of the conservative people in the United States is going to be as the pride month comes closer. Traditionally, brands did not have to worry about being boycotted because what they decided to do with their logos and ads, but it feels things are getting different after the budlight and Target cases.

I assume most of the brands will ignore the opinions and protests and continue to have their pride campaigns going as usual every year.

I still expect a lot of fighting on Twitter, though.

Assuming you’re trolling, because nobody would comment on something they’re so ignorant about…

Looks like sanity has won this time. Target is dismantling the grooming displays and tuck swimsuits that were targeting children. They also got rid of their satanic designer and over sexualized children’s reading material. A hands down win for sanity. The tide is turning.

Lmao, you probably need to stop believing everything you hear on Fox News.

Satan's really toned it down recently, eh? He used to be all about eternal suffering in a lake of fire; now he just puts rainbows on onesies. :D

It’s understandable why they do it, trying to be inclusive etc but they have to remember that the % of the audience who are accepting of this kind of stuff is very low. Everybody has the right to decide their sexuality & lifestyle but when I say everybody, I mean every adult. Just leave the children alone man, stop trying to indoctrinate children & groom them in this woke nonsense. They say go woke, go broke & it seems to be true, look what happened to Bud Light with their Dylan Mulvaney partnership. All this drag queen in schools push is wrong too, just leave the kids alone.

That Dylan Mulvaney psycho is one of the most ironic things about this “movement” that I’ve seen. He’s now saying he’s attracted to women, so after pretending to be gay, then trans, now he’s coming out as someone who likes women. Basically he’s just a normal guy with a mental disorder and a need to be celebrated. What a grift…

Nobody ever seems to mention the current practice of shaving off genital hair. I think that encouraging people to appear to be prepubescent is sick, but I seem to be in a minority over this. Personally I like mature hairy women, but maybe that is a function of my age. :) I also think boys should be boys, but if this was universal, then where would we find ballet dancers. I thought that castrati didn't exist any more, but I gather they are still created in some cultures.

Probably because (outside of nudist clubs) it's less immediately obvious than the equally abhorrent practice of shaving facial hair. (The other reason nobody mentioned it is because it's off-topic in this thread, but that's never stopped anybody before.)

You heard it here first, folks. If you like baby-faced clean-shaven men or are one yourself, you're a nonce, apparently.

Oh well, I think you are forgetting other types of (much more illegal) harassment to those who speak freely?

Great! Go woke, go broke.

Hammer them with boycotts.

Why stop with Bud Light? This is not a "light" boycott; it is full strength, no mercy type boycott. Target's got nothing other stores don't have. We don't need them, and they don't deserve our money. Just look at their behavior -
