Hey there, have you heard about this designer who is a Satanist and is upset with Target? It’s pretty wild. So basically, this designer named Sophie Andes Gascon creates clothing and accessories with Satanic imagery and symbolism. Target started selling some of her products, but then pulled them after receiving backlash from customers.
Gascon is saying that Target “set a dangerous precedent” by giving in to the complaints and removing her products. She argues that it’s a form of censorship and goes against the company’s supposed dedication to inclusivity and diversity.
What’s interesting to me about this is the intersection of religion and consumerism. We so often hear about conservative Christians boycotting companies that support things like LGBTQ+ rights, but it’s rare to hear about someone from a different religious background being affected in this way.
All in all, while I can see where Gascon is coming from, I also understand Target’s decision to listen to their customers. It’s a tricky situation, and I think it raises important questions about how companies balance their values with their profit margins.
