Maximum Spin, you got to start actually reading the links.
If you had read my link to the article, you would have seen Target didn't reveal what threats were made, nor support their actions in any way with any real info.

If you had read the second link from the designer of the merchandise, you would know that he was actually pretty cool about having his merchandise pulled.
Mainly he said "Yeah, I don't want anyone getting hurt over my merchandise"
He also didn't have any Satanic merchandise for sale at Target. Both Target and him agreed that would not be a good fit for Target.

....
Anyone else think we've beaten this horse to death? Aye!

On brighter news, Disney+ will NOT be removing the documentary "Howard".

I do, in fact, read the links. I never said a single word that would contradict any of those statements.
I mean, I actually want to know what your thinking is here. Where do you think I said that Target revealed any threats, or that the designer had a problem with it, or that any of the silly Satanism nonsense took place at Target? You bring this all up so matter-of-factly as if it's obvious, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything.

Maybe the true Target is the Satan we made along the way

...I imagine some people misinterpret the snake-staff-and-wings as satanic. Because people do that kind of thing.

(Though it should be snakes-staff-and-wings (for negotiation) or snake-and-staff (for medicine), really. It's either a very clever multi-levelled joke or a common mix-up.)

Seems fair.

Don't worry, there's always Raytheon. (Raytheon is apparently genuinely very inclusive, which is neat. Never mind the cluster bombs.)

2 days till pride month, heck yeah.

I will say despite all the shit we give megacorps, etc. about pride month, the fact that they consiser the LGBT+ market a target for money and advertising is genuinely a good sign.

Some more Trans news.
"Irreversible damage" was translated to Hebrew and sold by a right wing book publisher.
The good news was they had a launch event in a place of a right wing think tank, after every less transphobic place cancelled on them and the eventual place was known like two days before, and the trans community had a protest in the place, and it was great, there were at three times more protestors then attended, probably way more I just remember the end now, they were so fuckin scared inside even though they were barley touched, they brought like 4 boarder patrol cars, they arranged themselves three ways out because non of them really looked well.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

... this is supposed to be a "smash"? That was the saddest tik-tok stunt I've ever seen, although to be fair I intentionally don't look at tik-tok stunts. I actually saw this while I was looking, and I thought, that couldn't possibly be what you mean.
"Is that supposed to be broken glass?  The window barely even shattered.  Really, I saw this and didn't care about it, surely you're not concerned about this.  You're overreacting."

Alright, I'm making a new rule here:

Sports discussion is banned.

Every time it comes up, things devolve into shit-slinging, either overt or hidden under the pretense of argument, and the thread veers ever closer to Toady winding up coming in and either calming everything down by deleting posts, or it getting locked and (temp) bans being put in place.

Yes, it's an important topic, especially with it being used as a wedge issue with regards to trans rights, but this isn't the place to get hotheaded over it. If it comes up, I'm temp locking the thread. Wouldn't be an issue if we could stay civil, but we can't.

And on that note:
KEEP THINGS CIVIL!

Apologies for not being here to keep on top of it, I've been away for a few days so I didn't have access to the forums.

This article seems fitting between Memorial Day and Pride Month: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/26/gay-transgender-veterans-compensation/
...to bad it's in the UK.
