    i'vebeen googling (and ducking and binging) away to get a look at target's new childrens' swimwear. does anyone have a link?

    there are plenty of rw echo chamber stories (waste ofbandwidth) , but nothing from the manufacturer on this, which must be the greatest advance in fashion since the cod piece went out of style.

    I thought this has been debunked as one of the hundreds of right wing conspiracies meant to outrage their very intellectual base?

    Swimwear is adult sizes only regarding the tuck friendly versions.

    There've been articles clarifying this...plenty of them.

    I'm virtually 100% sure you've done no research at all on the issue.

    What's the next fake stupid outrage that's gonna inevitably happen next: people angry about gay comic book characters they just learned about? Lucky Charms having rainbows in it?

    Or how about South Park making fun of everybody? Or transgendered anime characters? Or super flashy and flamboyant professional wrestlers? The list is endless.

    It really is amazing how many people look for something to be upset about. I can’t imagine living my life like that…going from one faux outrage to the next. Such a sad life some people live.

    From the side that went from black, to people of color, to African-American, to strangely, Black; from the side that freaks out if you call a man he or a woman she, even if they don't identify with their biological reality, I have to say, that's ****ing priceless.

    What exactly is “priceless”? I think people for BOTH sides of the political aisle who look for something to be upset about are a55 holes. Have a good night :D

    I think the fact that they have a "Pride" section in the first place is enough for any morally decent person to not shop there.

    Speaking of comic books, how about those sexist Archie comics that were so offensive? When it comes to outrage there’s no one who tops the left and their creativity.

    I used to love reading Archie comics as a kid, until I recognized the harm they’re doing

    Don’t forget gay and queer. Those words were once considering to be insulting, today they make up part of a long and growing list of prideful letters.

    People like that aren’t morally decent in the first place, they just think they are

    Not mine. Did your head explode over racist Peter Rabbit? How about locked bathrooms, statues, flags, anthems, pledges, voting ID laws, border walls, racist roads and a lot more?

    What aren’t libs offended by?

    Not sure what you’re getting at for Peter Rabbit, but i guarantee you no one who isn’t a geriatric redneck wants to see a Confederate flag anywhere.

    But let’s talk about some of y’all being mad that Spider-Man or Captain America were black now, even though there’s multiple characters that were already established?

    Oooooh! Let’s see

    Made up rubbish about “banning gas stoves” and books about two male penguins raising a chick and a young female black poet and her poem.

    Your post exemplifies why there is a need for “a pride section”. IF being “straight” was looked down on and considered unacceptable, for generations, I would hope there would be organizing for straight rights.

    I’ve always said “what three people and their dog do behind closed doors is none of my business … and I don’t want it to be”.

    But when someone’s preferences are unacceptable and even persecuted I don’t blame them for standing together and crying “enough”.
