Target’s market value plunged $9 billion in one week after anger erupted over the store’s new “PRIDE” collection, which features clothing for children and babies as well as a chest-binding swim top and a “tuck-friendly” women’s bathing suit.

Social media users and conservative activists began calling for boycotts of Target following the release of their PRIDE line last week. The company was valued at $160.96 per share on May 17, at a market value of $74.3 billion; as of Thursday morning each share was valued at $139.84, the lowest in over a year, at a market value of $64.54 billion, according to MarketWatch data.

An adult bikini top available on Target’s website advertises a “light binding effect.” Another women’s swimsuit offered “tuck-friendly” coverage, and some children’s swimsuits advertised being “Thoughtfully Fit on Multiple Body Types and Gender Expressions,” according to The Associated Press.

Target removed some PRIDE items from stores following public outcry, claiming the move was in response to “confrontational behavior” from shoppers. The decision drew a fresh round of blowback, this time from LGBT activists who characterized the move as a failure to stand up for gay and transgender people.

“Target should put the products back on the shelves and ensure their Pride displays are visible on the floors, not pushed into the proverbial closet,” Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said, according to the AP. “That’s what the bullies want.”

Target was previously subject to widespread protests in 2017 following the company’s decision to allow transgender individuals to use the restroom of their choice, according to The Wall Street Journal. More than 1.3 million people signed an online petition calling for a boycott of the retail giant, the store saw its first decline in same-store sales in two years and ended up spending $20 million building single-sex bathrooms in all of its stores in response to complaints about privacy.

Target did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

these faggots will never stop digging until society collapses

I deal with a number of troon-worshipping dangerhairs in my line of work, and the more they lose the more apoplectically angry they get and the harder they double down on trying to force straight people to suck the girldick. They're fully and completely insane. You can't reason with or defeat insane people, you can only eradicate them.

 

[Catler]

that boycotting doesn't work and "get woke go broke" isn't a thing?

Boycotting generally doesn't work, Bud Light is a special case because it's a dying brand. Target though? They'll bounce back without issue, they are under no real threat, they can survive a little bit of bleeding.

You guys are going to be seriously disappointed if you keep hyping up these so called "wins".

It only didn't work because of the Feds constantly printing faggot bucks and Blackrock shoving the faggot bucks up woke companies assholes. Guess what isn't being printed anymore?

Ok but being serious here for second. The stock market is massively overlevraged to the point that it in no way represents the state of the economy. Shareholders are selling off because they think the faggot shit will affect sales. Boycotts hit sales so that is what you need to look at to determine if boycotts work. Stocks today mean nothing and can change on a dime if Powell sneezes wrong.

 

[Grub]

I kind of disagree. No it won't undo 50+ years of globohomo but I've been seeing more and more normies in my life including some basic white thot types and just grill boomers talk about how creepy the LGBTQAP+ movement has gotten and that's a pretty fucking huge crack in the cathedral since just a few years ago people were so afraid of troons and their handmaidens that troons were raping children with impunity.

My wife's parents are the normiest of normies and even they were talking about Dylan Mulvaney and the Bud light shit. These recent prominent go woke, go broke incidents are actually starting to give me some hope that the tables are finally starting to turn on troon madness.

In the span of about six months mentioning BlackRock has gone from someone on this site signaling they were a little better informed to someone being a complete conspiratorial sped.
BlackRock isn't why every corporate entity keeps engaging in these self-sabotaging actions. It's because left-wing politics are a sign of being upper class, and guess who makes up most of our pencil-pushing corporate leadership?

You can realize it's a class issue without going full commie. No single hedge fund is capable of forcing these kinds of repeated losses against all good financial sense.

My tinfoil hat tingles at this.

I think these boycotts, while enjoyable to watch, are a smokescreen for the upcoming/existing recession. Who will look into the real reason and root cause of why stocks are being destroyed when a company can say "go woke, go broke, we didn't listen!"?

As pointed out earlier, it’s just a return to the pre-pandemic, pre-summer of love market caps. Thanks to interest rates rising, a lot of “wealth” is simply disappearing. When the government was having the printers run overtime in 2020 and 2021, it had the effect of creating many bubbles and everyone hoped it would be totes ossum to divert those trillions to niggers, faggots and trannies. Since those are literally worthless, the bubbles have started popping. It has almost nothing to do with boycotts and everything to do with prices and valuations coming back to earth

The Shamalamadingdong twist is that everyone has gone all in on Weimerica’s version of tulip bulbs so there’s going to be a lot more of these coming up. There has also been a rise in (((activist investors))) because companies are re-evaluating how much returns ESG is actually getting. The government obfuscated that with making printers go brrr but investing in niggers provides a 0% (or negative) return and investing in whites provides a 10% return. Without government gibs to paper over how worthless it is to invest in blacks, there might be more bucking the ESG trends. I say “might” because everyone has went all in on niggerfaggots and incentives might transform into coercion. Nobody here has any insight to how that’ll play out, we will have to see how it plays out.

No it really is because Blackrock has enough sway to convince investors where to throw their money and where not to. The elites do not care at all about any Left Wing politics, it's a distraction that's it. Remember the religious right? They were the exact same story and used for the exact same purpose.

The stock market is ridiculously over-levraged right now and all the dumb boomers see is the chart going up and assuming everything g is good. None of the political matter just look at things financially and things make WAAAAY nore sense.

And I'm sure you totally believed it was just dumb college kids when they were hyperventilating about culturally-appropriating Halloween costumes ten years ago.
There is a cult that has taken root in our upper class and it will prevail despite all reason long after the rest of us stop tacit supporting it with our money.

Idk what to tell its literally EVERYTHING to do with financing and when you look at through that lense everything makes more sense. Look up quantitative easing and see how that money is given out and then who manages it and why. The cult they worship is money and that's all those big corporate ceos care about, do you ever see them in black neighborhoods or paling around with Troons?

 

[Otterly]

While that is insane the amount is not the most important thing. What is important is that by pursuing these paths AB and Target are failing to provide the best return for their investors and that can be leveraged hugely. If it can be proven that it is intentional? HAHAHA Holy shit.

It’s fun but the main hit is image, and the boost it gives people who are against it all ESG scores allow the need to provide return for investor to be short circuited

I wish you to tell us stories of them

You’re both arguing the same thing. There IS a cult, and black rock et al ARE one tool they use to enforce it. It’s not just black rock, it’s a whole web of interconnected grifters. Two years ago my previous company had NO diversity shit beyond what’s normal (ERGs for veterans, parents, the disabled blah blah and they were helpful groups not really sceeechy. One year ago the entire intranet news section, previously full of industry news was twenty plus stories of gays and BLM and trannies. I went through every page and there was not a single story of industry importance. The company almost went under six months ago. Previously our boss training was thoughtful stuff, like ‘you inherit an employee from another manager. She gives you a damning appraisal of them. But your experience is only good - how do you think the previous manager biased you and how do you correctly appraise the employee?’ Now bias training is alphabet based and there’s a culture of fear of saying the wrong thing. ALL that was ESG, it’s the same infiltration and subversion everywhere.
ESG is a tool and it’s a powerful one. Once a critical mass of companies start with it, all do - they all then fall to the ERGs and the certifications for being alphabet friendly. Pay för certifications so say you’re gay friendly and woke or theirs consequences for your ESG. It’s social credit for companies. Is there a cult? Yes. And ESG is a massive lever for them. How do you stop a cult that has so much power over business, minds, and media?

I hope its true but this looks more like a return to normal after a pandemic bump to me.

Compare it to other companies.

• If only some companies few returning to pre-2020 levels, then the disparity between companies says something.
• If all companies are trending the same way, then yeah, might just be a return to the natural state of things.
• If all companies are crashing but some are crashing harder than others, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

 

[Some Dumb Faggot]

Well, my argument is that these companies only push this fag shit to get higher ESG scores so they get more investors. The problem is that bank failures and no more quantitative easing mean said investors no longer want to invest.

It is also a matter of, like all these virtues, that it is easy to push virtue signalling really hard when there is no cost of doing so. It is safe, does not cost anything and there are no consequences so it is easy to keep screaming "Protecting and supporting trans lives is the single most important issue facing the human race today and forver!!!"
That is very easy to scream loudly over and over when it has no consequences for yourself personally. And it makes you look really virtuous.

But what is starting to happen now, and is also driven partly by the recession, is that it is no longer all that consequence-free to do so. And as soon as there is a cost then support will falter.
"What the fuck do you mean, I can not afford to buy food for my family but you want me to donate to a faggot event to collect money for childrens dildos?"
"What the fuck do you mean my 401k has lost 10% over the last year while food prices go through the roof".

Very quickly people just drop the virtuous thoughts like a hot potatoe, because they actually never believed in them they were just a virtue got gain admiration from fellow man.

Target and Bud are just two extreme examples of this. But it is happening across society.

People are accurate it's a cult. But I'm seeing around, increasing links,

Target hasn't lost a dime. Their stock has lost value, that is not the same thing as the company itself having less money in its bank account than it did yesterday. In order for Target to actually suffer a direct loss, it will have to be through having to dispose of untouched merchandise or discount it to the point that they're making less than they spent on it. Since it's a big corporation, you can expect any unsold homoshit to be "donated" to shelters or whatever so they can write it off their taxes as charity and not actually suffer a complete loss on the items. Regardless, I'm skeptical that they'll actually lose money here, unless they pull the plug on the whole thing and dumpster all of the merch.

What WILL happen, on the other hand, is that investors are likely screaming to their board 24/7 as we speak, as they are doubtless pissed off that the stock took a sizable hit. What effect this will have is up in the air, and probably hinges on what the investors are screaming. If it's, "You faggots are destroying my megayacht fund with this homoshit, cut it out," you can bet the pride sections will be gone in no time flat.

This is what people don't get. You can't 'fix' a majority of these loons. They don't think rationally. They are programmed, and you cannot do anything about it but remove them.

A large coalition of them of which Blackrock just happens to be the most commonly cited. Either way, massive international corporations grovelling on hands and knees to satisfy some troons and eco-fascists at the expense of everyone else is not being driven by organic market forces.
