Target has faced enormous criticism for its recent efforts to cater to the transgender community in recent weeks after the national retailer introduced a “Pride collection” across its stores, featuring merchandise, clothing, and books promoting transgender-friendly messages and leftist gender ideology. What made this particularly troubling was that the products were not just for adults but also for young children and babies. Target also ensured that these products were prominently displayed at the front of its stores, forcing everyone who entered to be exposed to its rainbow-colored propaganda.
In response to the mounting backlash, Target held an emergency meeting and instructed certain store locations, mainly in rural Southern areas, to relocate and reduce the size of their Pride sections to avoid a situation similar to the Bud Light controversy.
“I think given the current situation with Bud Light, the company is terrified of a Bud Light situation,” a Target insider said.
Well, it looks like they couldn’t contain the damage. Just a week ago, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 per share, resulting in a market capitalization of $74.3 billion. However, early trading on Thursday showed a 1% decrease, with shares trading at $141.76. As a result, the market value has fallen to $65.3 billion — a 12% drop and a staggering loss of $9 billion in market capitalization.
Boycotts are generally seen as ineffective for various reasons. However, the boycott of Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light, prompted by their controversial partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a TikTok influencer who pretends to be a girl, defied precedent. The boycott resulted in a significant decrease in demand for Bud Light, with sales down more than 28%. Anheuser-Busch has lost a reported $16 billion in market value since the boycott began.

Kohls should have been a warning
I went to northface.com, brought up the chat AI and typed “Bud Light”. Immediate disconnect. Bud Light is now a dirty word.
After boycott? We are just getting started.
☑️✅✅☑️
😂😜🤣😜😜🤣😂😆
(Actually it was more Wayne’s World but Mr. Burns will do!!)
Oops that should have been Bill and Ted!!
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
A boycott strategy to put these morons out of business is a winning strategy.
A tiny group of mentally-disturbed perverts should not dictate to the rest of us.
Good! Now boycott Ford, GM etc over their EV caves until their teeth bleed.
Embrace the suck.
North Face seems to have taken their chat offline.
Most excellent.
I have lots of NF gear and was considering getting a new duffle. Not any more.
AB hasn’t had an awakening yet. They haven’t apologized yet and haven’t fired the 2 people they gave a paid leave yet. Boycott stands and they haven’t learned anything.
Wonder how much COVID money they got from the US Gov’t.
I boycotted them years ago when they started to allow biological males into the women’s restroom, resulting in at least 2 sexual assaults, one against a minor.
These assaults got no traction, but a ball tuck bathing suit does????
Woke comes with a warning label read it.

Sexual weirdos need to understand we don’t care what they do as long as they LEAVE US ALONE AND LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE.
If they want to add a ‘C’ to their + buy cutting off their dicks and barbecuing them for dinner - fine. Whatever. Add the ‘cannibal’ moniker to the list. But we’re NOT going to buy at stores that sell your products. We’re not going to take our kids to groomer amusement parks and we’re NOT going to drink beer that supports your positions.
It’s a free country.
YOU wold do the same.
I’m betting almost zero sexual wields are out there buying bibles or sipping ice tea at Po Folks... It’s a free country. YOU doin’t have to buy our products - WE don’t have to buy yours.... If companies weigh in that’s their business.
If ad agencies want to destroy companies to push a trans agenda they know the risk.. If WE controlled Ad Agencies and YOUR LGBT-++C groups got tired of us linking OUR politics to ads YOU mights boycott stores too. So please, get real.
“Bud Light” in the chatbot, not search. It’s been reported that they took it offline.
I suppose you could use a sock for a beercan holder.
boy
those high esg scores
are expensive
