'Satanist' Designer at Center of Target Boycott Speaks Out
Target who has been accused of being a "satanist" recently spoke out about the ongoing controversy.U.K.-based designer, Erik Carnell, who owns the company Abprallen, announced on Instagram this month that he helped design several new items to promote the 2023 Pride season at Target, the popular retail store company.Since his announcement, some conservative voices have accused Carnell of being a "satanist" since a small portion of his collection features a reference to Satan (like a pin that states, "Satan respects pronouns"), which he says was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, according to the Daily Dot.
But none of these items were sold as a part of Target's Pride Month collection.Carnell says those who have called him out have "completely altered the facts to fit with the version they want ...
that's gonna get clicks, that's gonna get views."Over the past few days, Target has been at the center of a controversy with many conservatives calling for a boycott of the company for items related to their 2023 Pride collection.
Additionally, some have criticized Target after claiming that the company was selling "tuck-friendly" swimsuits, which can be used by transgender women to conceal private areas if they have not had gender-affirming medical surgery.Conservative commentator Matt Walsh said "tuck-friendly bathing suits for children" is worse than Bud Light, which also recently faced backlash for sending a commemorative can to transgender activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney."What Target is doing is far worse than anything Bud Light did.
