Looks like they're on a mission to screw the pooch

The designer behind one of Target's brand partnerships for Pride month was revealed to have an affinity for Satanism.
Abprallen, a brand out of the United Kingdom and headed by a self-proclaimed gay, transgender man known as Erik, per the website, has had a collaboration in the works with the retailer for roughly a year. The collection includes a sweatshirt that reads "cure transphobia not trans people," a tote bag that reads "too queer for here," and a messenger pack that reads "we belong everywhere."
Among Abprallen's other apparel are images of pentagrams, horned skulls, and references to devils. "Satan respects pronouns," reads one previous design, featured on T-shirts and pins. These items have even been known to be sold at London's Satanic Flea Market during December, which the brand promoted on its social media.
Target did not respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
"Being called a demon is something I can cope with, and the idea of a trans demon is pretty damn cool, most of my work focusses [sic] on gothic or dark and satanic imagery juxtaposed with bright colours and LGBT+ positive messages," Erik wrote on the brand's Instagram last year.
The designer claims that the brand was approached by Target for the collaboration while also acknowledging that the designs have already made "transphobes infuriated with me."
"I wanted to ensure that any young people who saw Abprallen in Target would know that who they are is beautiful, purposeful, and worth expressing," Erik wrote in a statement.
"I imagined what it would be like for a younger version of myself to see something more specific, more tailor made than a lacklustre rainbow flag. I wanted to create a range that would embrace younger me and tell him that who he is is more than OK, that being trans is special and wonderful and that the closet is not made for him to thrive in."
Target has had annual pride collections since 2012.
If I was Satan I’d be extremely embarrassed and offended the guy? said that about me. Makes him out to be like a dude who wears a pussy hat and can’t even assemble pre-made overpriced furniture.
Satan “says” he respects pronouns. LOL.
Father of lies comes to mind.
Perhaps next time Target complains about $1 billion loss due to shoplifting, or having their stores burned down - I will remain indifferent.
Well Target I don’t respect made up pronouns and I don’t respect your business model. Go make a profit off your remaining customer base.
Pride means Gay
My thoughts exactly -— su-u-u-re satan “respects” your pronouns.
Really it's just the Democratic Party with a little bit of schtick thrown in. Plenty of "mainline" churches are the same, but with a different schtick.
Amen!!!!
Target is not "responding to the public," they are the instigators.

Target CEO DEFENDS marketing ‘tuck-friendly’ women’s swimwear
‘I think those are just good business decisions, and it’s the right thing for society, and it’s the great thing for our brand,’ Cornell said.
‘The things we’ve done from a DE&I (diversity, equity, and inclusion) standpoint, it’s adding value.

Men’s underwear isn’t “tuck friendly” is it? Or swim trunks?
Guess they are afraid of showing their true selves.
Interesting how demons in the Bible use the same pronouns as the woke cult.
If you weren’t already boycotting Target... what’s wrong with you?
What’s all this crap about Satan lately? Last night I was searching for some vector graphics when I found, on a well-respected vector market site, graphics with images depicting Bahomet, Baal, Astoreth, horned skulls pentagrams and demon sigels of every description. Also, banners saying “Bow down and worship Satan”! I had never seen that sort of thing on a popular public site before.
I’ve always believed that God and Satan are sort of a two-fer. You can’t serioously believe in one and totally disavow the other. This world is getting loonier and loonier!
Leaving little doubt that these folks are too messed up to save.

We need to be louder than the freak brigade
Easy and cheap way to buy a soul?
Satan doesn’t “respect” his followers. He tempts them into damnation, after which he laughs at them.
