Target Embraces Transgenderism, Hires ‘Gay Cruella’ for Marketing Job

Target has reportedly chosen a man named Erik Thompson, who goes by “GayCruella” on social media, as the company’s “Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist and Pride Lead,” despite seeing its sales decline over its Pride-themed products earlier this year.

Thompson, who claims to go by “he/him/his/her” pronouns, said he is “honored” to accept a role leading “Target’s LGBTQIA+ multicultural merchandising strategy and Pride businesses” in an Instagram post that was flagged by the popular X/Twitter account Libs of TikTok.

“Remember when @Target sold tucking swimwear for kids and their sales dropped, stock plunged, and they were sued by shareholders?” Libs of TikTok wrote. “Apparently they didn’t learn their lesson.”

Apparently they didn’t learn their lesson cuz they just hired an LGBTQ activist to lead their “LGBTQIA+ multicultural merchandising strategy and pride businesses” who’s already threatening to “make trouble” after laughing about the backlash Target received.

Well, I was intentionally NOT visiting Target's stores or website before AND will continue to treat it as the leper it so deservedly is, in the future. 

Libs of TikTok also pointed out another social media post by Thompson, in which he tagged “Target Corporate Headquarters,” and wrote, “I want to make trouble.”

“Time to whip out the Glitter & Hellfire flamethrowers and rip that old world to shreds darlings,” the self-proclaimed Target corporate employee said, according to multiple reports.

One commentor on social media reportedly asked, “lol you gonna make Targets sales tank too?” to which Thompson responded, “Yes. Yes I will make sales tank,” with heart and kissing emojis.

Hmmm ... so this diseased pariah acknowledges that he is going to make Target's sales swirl down the crapper, and what does Target's management do? They hire him as one of their "brand" managers. ROTFLMAO!

Thompson appears to have been promoted to the LGBTQIA+ role, as his LinkedIn profile states that he has been working at Target since 2014. During his time at the company, he has been a business analyst and buyer.

The LGBTQ activist updated his LinkedIn profile to show his new role as becoming active in November 2023.

As Breitbart News reported, Target sales declined in the second quarter, the first quarterly decline in six years, after customers pulled back from purchases in reaction to the company promoting transgender ideology for children as part of its “Pride” month merchandising push.

Target faced backlash again this week for selling Pride-themed nutcrackers and disabled Santa ornaments.

Disney SEC Filing: We Went Woke, And That's Why We're at Risk of Going Broke

To say that Disney has hit a rough patch would be an understatement. For the last several years, at least, 'The House of Mouse' has seen a steady decline in attendance at its new movies and a softening in subscribership to its premier online offering, Disney+. Some of these troubles can be chalked up to a weakening in the quality of the movies and shows being produced, but it's hard to argue that the hardline stance that Disney has taken on contentious social issues hasn't been a factor in their troubles as they've alienated large chunks of their potential customer base to earn social 'good boy' points from their Hollywood compatriots. It's so hard to argue that the 'woke' messaging hasn't been a drag on the bottom line, in fact, that Disney is not only not arguing the point, but openly admitting it to their shareholders, according to Jonathan Turley writing for The Hill:

Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) ~ Disney acknowledges in recent filings that its controversial political and social agenda is costing the company and shareholders. The company is concerned that "invisible hand" of Adam Smith is effectively giving the “House of Mouse” the middle finger.

From the Securities and Exchange Commission Report (as quoted by Turley), Disney admits that while part of their problem is that 'we (Disney) face risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel and consumer products', a major problem has been:

... consumers’ perceptions of our position on matters of public interest, including our efforts to achieve certain of our environmental and social goals, often differ widely and present risks to our reputation and brands.

You don't say? That's a lot of words to say 'Get Woke, Go Broke', and while Disney may not be 'broke' at the moment, the SEC filing certainly sends signals that they're not happy with where they've found themselves from a market perspective.

Janine Curran (@janinereturns) ~ Based on their recent box office and staffing decisions, they seem to be having a really hard time internalizing this message from consumers.

Amy Curtis (@RantyAmyCurtis) ~ You want to know what’ll put the final nail in the proverbial coffin of ESG? Shareholders need to start suing companies who put virtue signaling before profits. Doing so is a dereliction of duty to the shareholders. Hitting them in the wallet is the only way.

Damian Ranger (@DamianRanger1) ~ My first boss told me to get as personally involved in politics as I would like, but to not involve the company. "No matter what your good intentions are, you'll upset half our customers."
