**Target Bows to Radical Activists, Drops Pride Products**
Target, the well-known chain of retail stores, has recently decided to remove several LGBTQ-oriented products from their stores – and the mainstream media is going after conservatives for it! In a perplexing announcement, Target removed the controversial brand Abprallen and its peculiar “tuck-friendly” swimsuits, with NBC News claiming it is a result of conservative misinformation.
In response to supposed “confrontational behavior”, Target has decided to pull the LGBTQ-centric Abprallen brand from its stores and website. Interestingly enough, Abprallen is known for promoting satanic themes and advocating for messages such as “Satan respects pronouns.” It begs the question of whether these claims of confrontational behavior were targeting the brand’s themes, rather than its support for the LGBTQ community.
Additionally, the company has been reviewing its collection of “tuck-friendly” swimsuits, designed for men who wish to conceal their genitalia whilst wearing women’s swimwear. According to NBC News, these swimsuits have been “at the center of misinformation,” with conservatives allegedly using this issue as a front to attack the LGBTQ community.
NBC News Senior Reporter Ben Collins blamed conservatives for the backlash: “They realize if they can threaten enough people, if they can scare enough people in real-life locations, maybe support for the LGBTQ community will diminish among corporations.” But is this really about conservatives attacking the LGBTQ community, or a rational concern for the products being aimed at children?
GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis was quoted as saying: “I think there’s this really small group who has an outsized voice at this moment in time, and it’s of hate, and it’s of discrimination, and it’s violent.” However, commentators like Dave Rubin are focused on the issue of these products targeting children. Rubin points out, “This stuff is always pushed in kids’ sections,” going on to say, “They literally had a satanic trans person as the lead designer of all this, and they were putting satanic messages that you could buy.”
Target’s removal of these controversial products seems to have more to do with their inappropriate themes and targeting of children, rather than any conservative misinformation. The media’s focus on painting conservatives as the sole cause for this backlash only further highlights the mainstream media’s eagerness to stifle objective discussion, all while disregarding the legitimate concerns of parents who simply want to protect their children.
