Satanist Erik Carnell, a British communist who designed trans clothing for Target for kids is warning Target after they removed his crap (allegedly) from their boycotted stores.
The controversial transgender “Satanist” designer behind some of the Pride products that were removed from Target stores slammed the big-box retailer this week for setting a “dangerous precedent.”
Target initially partnered with U.K.-based brand Abprallen to sell merchandise with pro-LGBTQ messages to celebrate Pride month. However, some consumers were enraged by Target’s over-the-top Pride displays, with particular animosity geared toward the products for children. Then it was revealed that Abprallen’s designer Erik Carnell appeared to be an outspoken Satanist whose brand features occult imagery and messages like “Satan respects pronouns” on brand apparel.
Target responded to widespread backlash by moving some Pride products to less prominent sections of the store, and removing other merchandise altogether. Carnell, who has claimed the merchandise mentioning Satan is tongue-in-cheek, blasted Target.
“It’s a very dangerous precedent to set, that if people just get riled up enough about the products that you’re selling, you can completely distance yourself from the LGBT community, when and if it’s convenient,” Carnell told Reuters.
