Part of the new “PRIDE” collection introduced by Target includes clothing made by a UK-based brand whose designer has expressed satanist views, according to a report.
Abprallen, a London-based company which is headed by a transgender man known as “Erik,” has reportedly been collaborating with Target for about a year, according to The Washington Examiner.
The collection includes sweatshirts and tote bags with messages that include “live laugh lesbian,” “cure transphobia not trans people,” “too queer for here,” and “we belong everywhere.”
Abprallen sells apparel that includes satanic imagery including pentagrams, horned skulls, and references to the devil.
One design found on the apparel maker’s T-shirts and pins has the message: “Satan respects pronouns.”
Last year, Erik wrote on the brand’s Instagram page: “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.”
The Post has sought comment from Abprallen and Target.
Reports of the tie-up sparked criticism on social media.
“Target has partnered with a company that promotes Satanism to produce its PRIDE clothing collection,” tweeted political commentator Erick Erickson, who added: “If you thought Bud Light went too far, you might need to consider shopping elsewhere.”
Bud Light, the Anheuser-Busch-owned brand beer, outraged customers and ignited calls for a boycott after it entered into a marketing partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Another Twitter user, Michael Seifert, tweeted: “Mega corporations are partnering with literal satanists to promote transgenderism to children.”

Pretty simple SHOP ELSEWHERE.
AVOID TARGET.
We’ve gotta send a message to these LEFT WING WOKE COMPANIES.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT !!!
“just remove God from the schools” they said
“can’t have nativity displays” they said
“stay out of other people’s bedrooms” they said
“they just want to get married and be left alone” they said
“you’re a bigot Bible thumper” they said
This is some WTF level of apparel sourcing.
Someone signed off on this decision.
Will we get the Bud Light two-step, where Target blames this on everyone but their own people?
You think the election system is honest enough to give the DEMs the boot? I don’t.
On top of everything else, there seems to be a concerted effort to make Satanism mainstream respectable. Or more precisely one particular Satanic cult that seems to have traction with the ruling class.
They’re worried about their DEI scores when they should have been focusing on their customer base.
Bealls sent me a coupon in honor of Gay Pride days…
I haven’t been back!
Make note to self - buy more bullets.
Yep. Just be tolerant.
I have always bashed “zero tolerance” policies. I think I got that philosophy fundamentally wrong.
Evil should get zero tolerance, period. Nip it in the bud.
Zero tolerance gun policy is flawed fundamentally, but it’s not the zero tolerance part that is flawed.
Target has decided they’ll be more efficient with a much smaller customer base.
Oops sorry , it wasn’t Bealls……it was KOHLS
Minnesota news is reporting target is moving the items to a less prominent spot in the store.
Target pulled a bud light.
The closest large store from where I live is Target. I avoid the place like the plague. Woke management is sick.
You make an excellent point, but we have TO FIGHT THEM.
For us it’s Walmart. But we still try to shop somewhere else. Local is best. But man sometimes it’s hard to swallow the price differences.
Walmart is my choice also. Here they are really trying to be friendly and helpful. It is always good to save a little money too.
Dude(ette):
you're going to find out that being a trans demon is pretty damn HOT...forever.
No escape.
No do-over.
Game over...LOSER!
There are no happy lesbians. None. All the ones I’ve ever met do not fall into the happy person category.
