That sounds exactly like what they did do...

Massive, successful corporations will choose how they see fit to choose. Just like some stores outright refuse to sell any video games. I stick by saying that what they did took nothing away from anyone. Making a big deal out of this will only heighten the issue on a wider scale. There is another store that sells it up the street, probably for cheaper. However, telling them to put it back on the shelf, that would be imposing. It's a free market, as I said. If people have issue with Target over it, they can shop elsewhere. I'm not sure what complaining about it is going to do.

If Walmart refuse to sell fluffy handcuffs or dildo's, then that's their choice. You can't go in and force them to put it on their shelf. But if they are selling a dildo and someone gets offended, it's their choice whether they should take it off the shelf. It's not like they are preventing anyone from buying the item elsewhere.

Do you like xmas? Will you be annoyed when shops stop selling xmas stuff because some people claim they are 'offended' by it, or will you just say 'oh well that's up to them'?

Eh, I just wouldn't shop at the store anymore. Or should we just control the stores? That's a little thing called socialism, contrary to popular belief. I can't tell a jewish or muslim owned store to sell me christmas stuff. Unfortunately, this may lead to some cray cray people telling stores not to sell christmas stuff because they don't like it. Ok, then we who do like it can shop somewhere else. Or should we grab our pitch forks and go theaten the store.

 

Not saying I agree with the whiners. Just stating that if business roll over for whiners, then that's that. We would be worse to go and force them to resell something they just choose not to sell. Besides, prostitution/murder/violence and Christmas are different kinds of offensive. My comparison of a dildo might be more accurate.
