    In your case, they are "TARGET"ing a tiny market niche.
    Your demand for tuck space is not a "big thing"
    It's entirely unnecessary for your swimwear, as cold water will provide adequate shrinkage, if
    any is needed at all.

    Yes, it's a single item, part of a seasonal promotion.

    It's not for "tuck space." It's clearly labeled "coverage." You're
    getting info from people who think an adult item is for children and
    don't understand the concept of lining.

    The latest:

    Target removes some Pride Month products after facing threats
    Target will remove some of its LGBTQ+ merchandise from its Pride
    Month collection after facing backlash that threatened the safety
    of its workers, the company said.
    ...
    The company did not specify which items were being removed, but
    misinformation in recent days has centered on its children’s bathing
    suits that were falsely labeled as “tuck-friendly” by prominent conservative groups and media outlets. The tuck-friendly swimming
    suits were only for adults, the Associated Press reported. Tuck-friendly swimwear offers extra coverage to allow trans women without
    gender-affirming operations to conceal their genitalia.

    Next time anyone wants to light Shmoo-Sack's fuse, use the handy
    phrase "gender-affirming operations". That notion invariably ignites
    a volcanic spew of "mutilating children" horror scenarios.

    Not at Target and Dodgers Stadium

    The Dodgers were founded in 1896, so games without "Pride Night" greatly outnumber the ten or so with.

    Or do you mean any non-cis-het representation is a problem?

    You are an adult, you can go down toyour local club and see a drag
    show. You can buy your tuckware clothing at local LGBTQTSGFXYZ+
    specialty shops
    If thugs can shut down a Pride display at Target, the specialty shop is
    next.

    We are not thugs.

    Why are you identifying with the thugs? And, yes, the "protesters" who
    videoed themselves vandalizing Target Pride displays can be called
    thugs. Remember Target didn't blame polite protesters, they were
    concerned about actual violence when they chose to relocate or remove
    displays.

    Thugs are the ones who trash right to life displays and chase reporters with a machete.

    That's an oddly restricted definition, one not shared by many.

    We have no interest in shutting down alternative specialty shops.

    If you get Target, you'll move on to whatever bondage wear emporia you
    can find.

    We just want to protect families and children shopping at main line chains stores.
    Families and children need safe spaces when shopping.

    There's nothing unsafe about LGBTQ representation. And I don't see a
    similar concern that non-cis-het kids be protected from cis-het culture.

    "The goal is to make “pride” toxic for brands. If they decide >>>>> to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that
    they’ll pay a price.

    I don't read Walsh's tweets I am not on Twitter

    That may explain why you're trying to reply to Walsh's tweet on
    RAO.

    Nobody is shoving anything i your face. You are an adult, you
    can go down to your local club and see a drag show. You can buy
    your tuckware clothing at local LGBTQTSGFXYZ+ specialty shops

    Why on Mars would you imagine Walsh is going to see your reply
    here? How stupid are you, really?
    It's not clear he knows who Matt Walsh is! Is he reading this as
    Walsh defending Target instead of as Walsh stating his goals?

    I guess we now know which of them reads Daily Wire and which
    doesn't.

    I don't know what Walsh reads.
    I refer to you and Scott. Why would Walsh read himself?
    I read the Daily Wire occasionally. It is included in the expansive
    array of my diverse reading material.
    You'll find he has a column there. On the plus side for you, your
    sympathies may be partially excused since you're ignorant of the worst extremists on the right.

    I know some of the most extreme , I am not ignorant of them, and I
    mostly avoid them, so I don't know what they have been writing recently. Examples: Coulter, Sailer, Alex Jones, and Paul Joseph Watson

    You fucking ignorant moron. I just told you that people opposed to

    Swaggering into a public space in a physically imposing manner is
    intimidation. Intimidation is an element of thuggery so I don't believe
    you when you say someone who destroys a symbolic display isn't a thug.

    https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7zbxe/target-pride-satan-boycott

    “Knock down all the displays and stomp on them,” one person wrote in the comment section of the Gateway Pundit. “Use a loud bullhorn or maybe a paint/urine bomb.”

    The Proud Boys Michigan chapter suggested people conceal bleach in
    Starbucks drinking cups or water pistols and spill it over Pride flags
    or clothing at their local Target stores.

    End quote.

    Would you agree that people who make bomb threats are thugs?

    Thugs are the ones who trash right to life displays and chase reporters with a machete.

    That's an oddly restricted definition, one not shared by many.

    That is not a definition and not restrctive.
    it us an EXAMPLW

    No, it attempts to exclude those who vandalized store displays from the definition. Never mind muddying the waters with abortion protests, which
    have many more examples of pro-life thuggery including arson and assassinations.

    You are far exceeding your usual level of stupidity and nincompoopedness tonight.

    Your penchant for taking criticism of others personally is at the usual
    level.

    We have no interest in shutting down alternative specialty shops.

    Unless you count the possibility of a return to the legal oppression and
    threat of violence that was the rule only a few decades ago.

    There is nothing unsafe about telling trans activists that they are ridiculous fools

    Maybe they don't see the nuance when you tell them they shouldn't exist

    They don't "ply their trade in schools." Drag is a specific art form in specific locations, not schools. However, an age-appropriate show that
    includes drag is not a problem in schools:

    drag shows are not age appropriate for children. They are for adults

    Drag Story Hour isn't a "drag show." It's a children's activity, a book reading, with a performer in drag, although I'm sure your sources are
    happy to mix you up by illustrating stories about libraries with video
    from discos, drag bars and the like.

    Children are already barred from adult drag shows in nightclubs.

    You've reminded me of an elementary school teacher from back in the day
    who wore garish makeup and wigs, a woman in "drag." Think Mimi in The
    Drew Carey Show.

    Costumed performers for children is not a new thing: clowns, "princess parties," sports mascots, etc.

    Oh dear!! So, you were exposed to drag queens in elementary school.
    No wonder you are so fucked up.
    No, it's you who exhibit an unhealthy obsession.

    Not wanting to sexually mutilate children and not wanting to sterilize them
    is a very healthy obsession.

    Your obsession with sexualizing minors and grooming them to be gender confused is what's unhealthy.

    I try NOT to think of Mimi
    This is just GREAT for kids What a role model!!!
    Yet acceptable.

    At any rate Mimi was not a crossdresser nor a drag queen, just a very ugly biological woman.

    Exaggerated feminine qualities in dress, makeup and vocal style are the
    essence of drag. And 'ugly' is in the eye of the beholder. You could
    also compare that teacher to country-era Dolly Parton.

    https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/28/texas-legislature-drag-show-bill/

    "Under Senate Bill 12, business owners would face a $10,000 fine for
    hosting sexually explicit performances in which someone is nude or
    appeals to the “prurient interest in sex.” Performers caught violating
    the proposed restriction could be slapped with a Class A misdemeanor,
    which carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $4,000 fine...

    The bill classifies as sexual conduct the use of “accessories or
    prosthetics that exaggerate male or female sexual characteristics,” accompanied with sexual gesticulations."

    Good-bye, Hooters! Good-bye, Twin Peaks! Watch out, Dallas Cowboy
    Cheerleaders!

    "Brigitte Bandit, an Austin-based drag performer, criticized the
    addition of “accessories or prosthetics” to the bill. Drag artists performing in front of children don’t wear sexually explicit costumes,
    Bandit said, adding that this bill creates a lot of confusion over what
    is and isn’t acceptable to do at drag shows.

    “Is me wearing a padded bra going to be [considered] enhancing sexual features?” Bandit asked. “It’s still really vague but it’s still geared to try to target drag performance, which is what this bill has been
    trying to do this entire time, right?”"

    This still won't cover Drag Story Hour due to the lack of prurient interest.

    You have a strange definition of "sexualizes" because by any standard
