Carnell said he used Satanic imagery in some of his art to subvert a homophobic narrative that queer people are sinful, evil or otherwise ungodly. “It’s no different to people reclaiming slurs and trying to remove the power from it to try and use it to benefit them.”

You really have to read the article to get the full flavor of the degree of their investment in trans, echoing the ongoing stonewalling of release of the notorious 'manifesto' by trans shooter what's-her-name.
Art is art. Commerce is commerce. Sure you can commercialize art. But there is the old question that if art has a purpose is it really art, or is it propaganda?
A toddler’s onesie proclaiming “The Queers Are Here” is clearly propaganda.
Wow, WaPo, did you bend over before or after the “interview”?
Journalism...when you absolutely, positively cannot get a real job.
At least, you and your compatriots are doing a fine job of erasing what few percentages of remaining respect that you had.
“Phobia” is defined as an “irrational fear”; but it’s totally rational to be afraid of those who destroy property, beat up innocent people and morally pervert the next generation all because they don’t get their way (fast enough)?
She’s not a Satanist, she just uses the imagery as subversive pushback.
Now let’s see a sympathetic interview about the imagery of the Confederate flag.
Actually, it is not female. It is a male
Awwwwwww. 🖕
So being a sodomite equals death?
Can't say he is wrong.
Queer people are sinful, there’s an valid solution for such behavior written in the Bible. If I lived in a Godly nation, I would never see such an article.
Translation: “I subvert transphobia and instill inclusion by using symbols and graphics meant to frighten, anger, and alienate people with traditional moral values!”
But change that to “Homo Headrest” and listen to them screech like a bunch of wet hens.
…we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior,” the company said in a statement this week, citing threats the company had received against its staff.
I suspect any “threats” received were along the lines of “I’m not going to shop at Target anymore.”
“I’m speaking of a closeted kid who needs to see that there is positivity and hope and humor and love and enjoyment and pride awaiting him in the future,” he said.
Leave the children alone, you vile predator.
I wonder if a pin depicting a noose with the label "African American necktie" would be considered 'edgy'?
This particular individual may be backpedaling, but there is definitely a push from TPTB to make one specific Satanic cult respectable mainstream.
Giving this fool the benefit of the doubt, as well as a charitable reading -
His error was to assume that his “audience” in the case of Target, were people in his own bubble, who would understand and appreciate his brand of irony. But Target customers, the vast majority, are not at all the sort of people he knows.
This is about living in a bubble. You can’t do marketing unless you know your customer, and he didn’t. You have to go out of your way to break your bubble, to understand the psychology of your audience.
Add to that the impulse behind his “ironic” approach. This guy has severe anger and hatred issues, which come out of his assumptions about the enemies he wants to bash.
And even if people were to “get” that his message is ironic, There is no way to market anything by weaponizing contempt. That is an entirely negative approach to persuasion, and very dangerous. People easily perceive that “irony” as being turned against them.
The Target management were even greater fools, in unleashing this character, with his obvious anger and hatred problems, as a marketing campaign. Like the case with Budweiser, it is probably due to some mid management marketing goofs working in a confirmation bias circle. No adult was paying attention.
So I guess this disturbed person was originally a girl?
That little jaw, and that stupid mustache — of course she’s a girl playing she’s a boy.
I pray for these lost souls.
Is that mustache glued on? I bet The Three Stooges could find out.
