Apparently the two items that Target is removing will be "tuck friendly" women's swimsuits and Satan-themed LGBTQ+ accessories. 

Apparently the two items that Target is removing will be "tuck friendly" women's swimsuits and Satan-themed LGBTQ+ accessories. 

And why are these items worthy of boycott?

A.All terrorists here need to be arrested and locked up with the key thrown away if they were violent or made such threats
B. Tuck friendly swimsuits are fine, its better than the Dylan Mulvaney option of everyone having to normalize dick bulges.

C. The Satan stuff wasn't merely some shirt with the devil but an actual partnership target entered into with an actual Satanist. Satanism is basically a peak own the con move as the concept of Satan comes from Judaism/Christainity/Islam so not sure why one has to say they support Satan. I'm fine with satanic imagery and I can't exactly oppose Satanism as a non Abrahamicist but its kinda weird and I get why Christians oppose it. Extremely dumb move for Target to promote this stuff in the front of their stores.

According to saner sources than the NY Post, Target has never sold that Satan Reapects Your Pronouns shirt, they just sell other 3 other products made by the same brand, Apbrallen, for their LGBT collection which has any references to Satan

"Carnell [ie Apbrallen] said three products – a fanny pack that says “We Belong Everywhere,” a tote that says “Too Queer For Here” and a sweatshirt that says “Cure Transphobia, Not Trans People” – were the only ones Target sold as part of the partnership between the two companies. Abprallen posted pictures of the products in a May 9 Facebook post that announced the collaboration and described them as “part one of the range” that would be sold by the retailer. "
