Some of the range was designed by Erik Carnell, a trans man and 'Satanist'
Retail giant Target's market value plummeted on Wednesday by $13 billion as shares dropped by for the ninth consecutive day by a further 2.14 percent.
It comes as the chain seeks to recover from backlash against its female swimwear range which gives adult wearers the option to 'tuck' male genitalia.
The company's market value had been $74 billion - with shares trading at $160.96 - as of May 17. But stock fell later that week when it made 'adjustments' to its Pride merchandising plans, including removing displays 'that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior' at some of its stores, said CEO Brian Cornell in a statement last week.
Some Southern stores were forced to move merchandise - many of which were designed by Erik Carnell, a transgender man and self-proclaimed Satanist - to the back of stores.
It was done to avoid a 'Bud Light situation' - a disastrous marketing decision to promote Bud Light's beer with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney - following a consumer boycott of its Pride Month items.

Carnell said his designs - which are printed on pins, stickers and T-shirts - have been labeled 'Satanic' - but were not those being sold in Target as part of Pride month.
Companies like Target that launch products and campaigns for Pride Month seek to profit from LGBTQ people but fail to stand by them when challenges arise, Carnell said.

How low can TarGay go before it’s gone?
Not that I’m sad to see Target fall (and I haven’t shopped at target in years anyway) but I’m becoming concerned that my viable areas to shop at are rapidly dwindling to Walmart and Amazon - 2 woke orgs I’d rather not give my business to.
Agree 100%.
Weaponized targeted boycotts work.
I hate to break it to everyone, but 95% of corporation are crazy-woke - it’s that a large majority are not retail and it’s more hidden.
Yeah, the money is just rolling in, isn’t it. Oh, wait, it’s another financial catastrophe in the making — and hopefully it continues for Target.
Younger people may not be able to remember that K-Mart was bigger than Target back in the day, and before that Sears was bigger than K-Mart. Sears had been popular for one hundred years. Those Mega-store corporations massively bit the dust because of incompetence of the “leadership”, not understanding what their customers wanted. Keep at the boycott and Target with learn the hard way.

Solid as Sears!......................
