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.

target the child abuse and pedophilia place to shop!
I hope Chick-fil-a is watching.
Free fall.
FREE FALL
FREE FALL!!!!
Good grief.
Dump Target stock now; don’t support perverts.
Shouldn’t that be one word?
But then again, it’s a British site................
Target will double down like they did with the Transgenders in Bathrooms. Their CEO believes they’re on the right side of history
But they are not on the 'right side' of God!....................
Let the LGBTQer’s and all the Woke sympathizers keep Target in business. If that’s who they prefer as customers then exclusively grant them their wish.
But they got a shiny gold star for their ESG score.
Find the compensation deals for the executives. Go for what breaks their personal earnings at the company. Just beating down stock values can cause executives exercising stock purchase options at a discount.
How many more days of this before Targay is in financial trouble?
No one cared about target’s pride marketing in past years
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.
Target management shifted from pandering to adult with mental illness to targeting children for grooming and the public is having none of it.
Quite honestly, making an example of Target is easy. When they started with the bathroom stuff years ago, I stopped shopping there. I don’t miss it a bit. There are plenty of competitors, or you simply can do without. You really don’t need that crap from China and other third world hellholes. Try doing without. It’s a rather empowering experience; and you get to save money that you most certainly will need in the near future.
I hope Chick-fil-a is watching.
Me too....I love Chick-fil-a sandwiches...but if you’re serious, a line must be drawn in the sand.
My line is deeeep...I’ve had my last Chick-fil-a...at the end of the day, there are other options that are pretty damn good as well.
