“Satanist” Designer Fires Back With Harsh Words For Target

Don’t you love when The Far Left eats its own?

But as they say, there’s no honor among thieves….or among Satanists?

It appears as though the love-fest between self-described Satanist designer Erik Carnell and Target is over after Target pulled some of Carnell’s clothing from its stores.

In turn, Carnell has fired back against Target saying they’re setting a dangerous precedent.

Right.

Make you you let that sink in….

The dangerous precedent is not pandering sex-change clothing to little children.

No.

The “dangerous precedent” according to Carnell is removing his Satanic designs.

Oh my.

Fox News reports more:

The controversial transgender “Satanist” designer behind some of the Pride products that were removed from Target stores slammed the big-box retailer this week for setting a “dangerous precedent.”

Target initially partnered with U.K.-based brand Abprallen to sell merchandise with pro-LGBTQ messages to celebrate Pride month. However, some consumers were enraged by Target’s over-the-top Pride displays, with particular animosity geared toward the products for children. Then it was revealed that Abprallen’s designer Erik Carnell appeared to be an outspoken Satanist whose brand features occult imagery and messages like “Satan respects pronouns” on brand apparel.

Target responded to widespread backlash by moving some Pride products to less prominent sections of the store, and removing other merchandise altogether. Carnell, who has claimed the merchandise mentioning Satan is tongue-in-cheek, blasted Target.

“It’s a very dangerous precedent to set, that if people just get riled up enough about the products that you’re selling, you can completely distance yourself from the LGBT community, when and if it’s convenient,” Carnell told Reuters.

“If you’re going to take a stance and say that you care about the LGBT community, you need to stand by that regardless,” Carnell added.

Carnell had previously explained in an Instagram post that Satan represents “passion, pride and liberty” and “loves all LGBT+ people.”

“Satanists don’t actually believe in Satan, he is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty. He means to you what you need him to mean. So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love. So, naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGBT+ people. I went with a variation of Baphomet for this design, a deity who themself is a mixture of genders, beings, ideas, and existences. They reject binary stereotypes and expectations. Perfect,” he said.

Abprallen previously had two products on Target’s website, a messenger bag that says “Too queer for here” and a sweatshirt that says “Cure transphobia.” Neither product features Satanic imagery. As of Friday, Abprallen products were no longer listed on the site.

Carnell told Reuters that his “brand’s products are the only ones so far that have been removed both in-store and online.”

Satan loves LGBT+ people, says Carnell.

In the same breath, however, Carnell says Satan is just a symbol, not someone real.

So even in one statement can you see the lies toppling onto each other?

That’s what happens when you stray from truth.

Meanwhile, Christians would tell you that Satan is very real, he was thrown out of Heaven, is comes to Steal, Kill and Destroy (John 10:10) and he does not love anyone…in fact, he has a hatred for all of humanity.

There Carnell, I fixed it for you!

Carnell’s statement is not being met with much support online, with D220 calling it Gaslighting:

Meanwhile, Target stock is taking a big hit:

Target Stock Takes A Major Hit

The saying goes if you go woke then you go broke, and that couldn’t be any more true than what Target is experiencing right now.

Just weeks after Target started to promote “Pride” gear that featured “tuck friendly” bathing suits for “trans kids” Target’s stock has dropped over 11%.

The market value of Target in total has lost over $9 billion dollars and that number is expected to drop even more.

Before going completely woke Target’s stock closed at $160.96 a share not Target shares are going for $141.76.

Target's stock price tumbled from $160.00 to $141.00 since last week, after activist Scarlett Johnson highlighted the artist's involvement with the company in a social media thread.

Target stock is plummeting.

This is what happens when you groom children, then double down by hiring a satanist to promote your products.

The New York Post had more details to add:

Target has lost $9 billion in market value since angry social media users called for a boycott of the Minneapolis-based retailer over its rollout of the “PRIDE” collection featuring LGBTQ-friendly clothing for children.

A week ago Wednesday before the controversy erupted, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 a share, giving the big-box chain a market capitalization of $74.3 billion.

As of early trading on Thursday, however, shares of the company were trading off 1% at $141.76 — capping a weeklong tumble that has shrunk the “cheap chic” discount retailer’s value to $65.3 billion.

That amounts to a 12% drop that has shaved a whopping $9 billion off the company’s market capitalization.

Target said on Tuesday it was removing some items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month after intense backlash from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays.

DO NOT GIVE UP AN INCH. The target boycott continues. They are scared. We are winning.

Red State had more details to report:

We’ve seen what has happened to Bud Light since they endorsed transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s “365 Days of Being a Girl” as he mocked girls and women. As I reported earlier, they’ve now been reduced to trying to sell their beer for free (with rebates).

Yet, their sales have plummeted by 28 percent, by volume, just as we go into Memorial Day weekend, and they still don’t seem to be able to offload the stuff. They’re even buying some back from distributors at this point if it’s gone past the expiration date. If they can’t recover over this weekend, the beer experts are saying they may have lost a permanent section of their customers who are just not going to come back.
