Target Partners with Satanist Designer Abprallen for Gay Pride Collection

THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 22 May 2023

The woke Target Corporation has partnered for its new Pride clothing line with UK-based designer Abprallen, which insists “Satan loves you” and “Satan respects pronouns.”

Among other items in its Pride line, the mega retailer carries Abprallen’s “Cure Transphobia” sweatshirt, which bears the message “Cure transphobia, not trans people.”

Abprallen mixes a good deal of satanism with its pro-LGBT activism, asserting on its Instagram page that “Satan loves you and respects who you are; you’re important and valuable in this world and you deserve to treat yourself with love and respect.”

“LGBT+ people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God’s will, so fine. We’ll hang with Satan instead,” it declares.

“So, naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGBT+ people,” it states.

Abprallen’s owner, a self-identified “gay, trans man” known as “Erik,” said that the “Satan respects pronouns” pin, which features an image of the demon Baphomet, is one of “my favourite and most popular designs, and the one that gave Abprallen its proper footing and direction.”

“Coming up with this phrase really helped make Abprallen what it is today,” Erik wrote.

Erik contends that “Satanists don’t actually believe in Satan, he is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty.”

“So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love,” Erik adds.

Target is fully committed to the gay agenda, and has an entire section of LGBT clothing.

On its website, Target boasts of its “longstanding commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.”

“They are part of our core values, shape our culture and drive our business, and we’ve been on a journey for more than 17 years to build and refine our DE&I strategy,” it says.

Al Pacino as Satan in "Devil's Advocate".

John Milton: Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway?

God? Is that it?

God? Well, I tell ya, let me give you a little inside information about God.

God likes to watch. He’s a prankster. Think about it.

He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift and then what does He do?

I swear, for his own amusement, his own private cosmic gag reel, he sets the rules in opposition.

It’s the goof of all time.
Look, but don’t touch.
Touch, but don’t taste.
Taste, don’t swallow.

And while you’re jumping from one foot to the next, what is He doing?

He’s laughing his sick, fucking ass off.

He’s a tight-ass. He’s a sadist.

He’s an absentee landlord. Worship that?

Never!

Kevin Lomax: Better reign in hell than to serve in heaven, is that it?

John Milton: Why not?

I’m here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began!

I’ve nurtured every sensation man has been inspired to have!

I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him.

Why? Because I never rejected him, in spite of all his imperfections!

I’m a fan of man!

I’m a humanist. Maybe the last humanist.

Who, in their right mind, Kevin, could possibly deny the 20th century was entirely mine?

All of it, Kevin!

All of it!

Mine!

I’m peaking, Kevin.

It’s my time now.

It’s our time.

Target was already going to hell (as a business). Might as well double down.

Proves my point from the other thread: Money is incidental to these Marxist wreckers.

The money?

No, that is incidental.

The money certainly greases the skids, but the prime motivation is political.

Marxists covet. They seek what they can never achieve and wish to destroy that which does. Achieving political power is the most effective means by which to destroy.

The trans-queeer movement accomplishes that in two particularly brutal ways:

1 - They force you to deny objective reality, under penalty of law.

2 - By making you believe in absurdity, they have paved the way for you to justify and support atrocity.

Yeah, there's a damaged individual.

"As a gay trans man"....so let's see if I can figure this out.

You are a woman, who pretends to be a man, to sleep with...men?

Why all the drama...you could have just slept with men.

And what's up with all the death's heads and what not?

It's like the queeer Hells Angels met the queeer Grateful Dead at Barbie's Dream House.

When people like this are celebrated instead of treated, you have to wonder if the world is in end times. Satanism is not something that should be messed around with.

I actually like Target. I reached a point where I can't stand the people of Walmart anymore. Target is a step up.

The Target here had it at the front as soon as you came in the door. Now there is less of it and they moved it to the back of the store. Apparently this is a thing in the south. I live in a very conservative heavy GOP part of Florida.

I'm sympathetic to gays. I don't have a problem with the pride merchandise. I just don't think it was appropriate to to have it right in your face as soon as you walk in the door. They have it in the back now and it looks like they removed the Sataninst stuff. That seems about right to me.

Target Removes Pride Items from Satanist Designer After Backlash

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...pride-items-satanist-designer-after-backlash/

HANNAH BLEAU 24 May 2023

Target has removed “pride” themed items associated with the satanist designer Abprallen due to the backlash it has since received over the partnership.

Target’s pride collection has remained the subject of criticism following its rollout, as it offers an array of items for children and babies as well as transgender swimsuits for adults with “tuck-friendly” and “light-binding” effects. But in the midst of the pride-themed onesies, socks, shoes, and swimsuits were at least two items by the U.K.-based designer Abprallen. The individual behind the brand identifies as a transgender gay man — a biological woman attracted to males — and satanist, even paying homage to the satanic figure Baphomet and asserting that “Satan respects pronouns.” While that design was not offered at Target stores, the woke company offered two designs from the designer — a top reading “Cure Transphobia Not Trans People” and a tote bag reading “Too ***** for Here.”

However, after ongoing backlash, it appears Target is no longer selling those items. A quick search for Abprallen on the Target website used to pull up the two items mentioned above. Now it states, “We couldn’t find a match for your search.”

“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and wellbeing while at work,” Target said in a statement, according to Reuters.

“Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior,” it continued.

Items by the satanic designer are being removed as other items remain under review after continued criticism and threats of boycotts. As Breitbart News previously reported, the designer behind Abprallen identified the Baphomet design as one of her most “favourite and most popular designs, and the one that gave Abprallen its proper footing and direction.”

“Coming up with this phrase really helped make Abprallen what it is today,” the designer’s Instagram post reads, adding, “We’ll hang with Satan instead.”

The designer, who goes by “Erik,” added that satanists “don’t actually believe in Satan, he is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty.”

“He means to you what you need him to mean. So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love. So, naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGBT+ people. I went with a variation of Baphomet for this design, a deity who themself is a mixture of genders, beings, ideas, and existences. They reject binary stereotypes and expectations. Perfect,” the designer added.

Meanwhile, other items that remain under review include swimsuits clearly marketed toward transgender adults, offering “tuck-friendly” bottoms for confused men to “tuck” away their genitals to appear more feminine, as well as tops with a “light-binding” effect to flatten the breasts of gender-confused women.

According to Reuters, “Target is also reviewing certain transgender swimsuits and children’s merchandise, Castaneda said, but no decision on those products has yet been made.”

This move comes on the heels of an “emergency” call taking place, resulting in certain Target stores moving the pride sections — typically displayed prominently at the front of the stores — to smaller sections in the back.

“We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size,” a Target insider told Fox News. “From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage.”
