Right wingers are constantly boycotting north face and Patagonia, this is like the 10th time this is happening i swear.
Right Wing voters have probably never bought North Face items anyway. They don’t sell denim overalls, or $2500 Silk suits.
>The North Face has staunchly positioned itself as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Last year, the company made its support for equality clear after conservatives flipped out over its Pride campaign.
>The self-loathing Gays Against Groomers dredged up a three-year-old tweet from The North Face touting their contribution to [Brave Trails](https://www.bravetrails.org/), a leadership summer camp in California and Maryland for LGBTQ+ youth and allies ages 12-18. Brave Trails founders Jessica and Kayla Weissbuch were recognized as *LGBTQ Nation* Heroes in 2020.
>“‘Welcome to Camp Brave Trails, where we blend all the traditional elements of a summer camp with an LGBTQ+ twist,’” *Daily Wir*e quoted from the camp’s website. “‘Our camp is thoughtfully designed to serve as a safe haven for LGBTQ+ youth.’” The publication then complains, “The camp boasts that children as young as 12 have gone on to start LGBT clubs at their middle schools after attending the camp.”
>Daily Wire uses the same strategy linking to videos posted by Brave Trails, intoning they “reveal that young children involved in the program dress and perform in drag while wearing makeup.”
>***That’s exactly what they show: kids playing dress up and voguing.***
>Is there a problem, officer?
It just really goes to show that The Christian nationalist hate brigade doesn’t care about “saving the kids” or anything. Their whole “Think of the children” bullshit is nothing more than a cover to their hateful agenda, where they want all LGBTQIA+ people dead and in the morgue. They don’t want LGBTQIA+ people to breathe the same air they do or live amongst them. They want genocide. Genocidal maniacs is what they are.
Conservatives are gonna’ be so unhappy with my new ‘Guns for Gays’ charity program.
Reminds me that I got to buy some new North Face gear.
Appreciate it. Giving support to LGBTQ+ kids is an added bonus and happy to do.
Conservatives are in a constant state of rage.
This is just something else to rage about.
Guess we have to pull out the uggs and pumpkin spice lattes with our North Face jackets because we’re going back to 2010 everybody
North Face should only be concerned if they have a Camouflage lineup in the works. Most outdoor brands that are not hunting related tend to lean left and embrace the progressives with money.
So just like the beer boycotts, we can expect to see hillbilly dipshits buying up tons of TNF apparel just to burn it on social media for clout, right?
You know, for people who go on and on about “freedom” and the “free market”, so sure do get upset when someone else uses their “freedom” to participate in things they don’t agree with.
Might be me – but I don’t think they really mean “freedom” in the way the rest of us do: The right to do what we want as long as it doesn’t violate someone else’s right to do what they want.
Wow, can’t ride a Harley, can’t drink a Bud Light. Can’t take the kids to Epcot. Now it’s throw away that North Face jacket.
it’s amazing to see what different groups protest:
left-wing: war, pollution, bigotry, inequality, lack of healthcare…
Right-ring: inclusion, diversity, equity, helping the downtrodden…
Damn woke liberal cancel culture!
They are stupidly homophobic.
Why do all these homophobes follow a man who wears makeup and dyes his hair yellow?
Imagine spending every waking moment of your life trying to think of ways to make other people miserable. How awful must your childhood have been?
Fucking snowflakes.
Do you think conservatives remember everything they boycott?
Remember the Carhartt boycott? What a joke.
Who’s the snowflake ❄️ again 🤷♂️
Right-wingers are going boycott fun next since LGBTQ+ folk are having it
The Rhite Whinge Conservative movement is based on church and wealth based control…over everything.
In their dogma, ‘Freedom’ was a mistake that the founding Fathers added to the Constitution, and is something they want to slowly eliminate.
They act as if only the powerful should have freedom, while the 95% should pay for it.
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner. It makes everyone happy.
Put on a red hat. Go to houses with trump signs and tell them you’re collecting North Face and Patagonia for a yuge bonfire in a couple of weeks. At the end of the day, go through your haul, pick out whatever you want (wash the shit out of it first), sell some to cover your gas and time, and donate the rest. Magas will be happy knowing that their stuff will be burned, you get some new stuff for nothing, and some people in need get some nice stuff.
Rinse and repeat for any other boycott.
Winners all around.
No fun for you, back to the lithium mine!
I’m the sort of person regardless of my personal opinion on an issue I tend to fall into the “none of my business” school of thought. Even if I had something against LGBTQ people or didn’t agree with how they chose to live their life (I don’t, but assuming I did) it would fall into the “none of my business” category. It’s so bizarre how upset some people get with how other people live their lives.
Looks like I’ll be purchasing some north face to go with my Patagonia stuff.
As a father of a gay young adult son, that makes me want to support their company more.
You have to be able to afford something in order to boycott it.
TNF is a quite expensive brand and those MAGA welfare recipients are definitely not gonna put a dent in the revenue.
The only camps they support are conversion and concentration.
Great reminder to support The North Face.
Good old fashioned cancel culture.
The left boycotts when a company supports bigotry. The right boycotts when a company doesn’t support bigotry.
Guess which side is the baddies?
They were never buying their stuff to begin with. Oh well. Anyway.
Why do republicans want to cancel corporations? Aren’t they against cancel culture and for rights of corporations? I can’t follow anymore
Do we have a list of all the companies these people, who claim to be against cancel culture, have canceled?
Fine, be cold idgaf.
I just became a North face supporter
The right has become a festering cesspool.
wow they can cut back on their zero north face purchaces a year. They tried this shit with Patagonia already and they laughed at them.
At least when they said they were done with Bud Light they decided to pretend to bocot a product they actually spent money on.
Boycott sure sounds a like cancel culture, hmmm
Conservatives are scum, like the mildew that forms around your bathtub.
They tell me what beers to drink, what shows to watch and what clothes to wear. Then they call this freedom.
‘ PROTECT OUR YOUTHS! …just not the gay ones!’…
I love North Face, I hope they don’t waver over a few twat waffles who are so hard pressed they have to literally bully children…what dorks.
So let’s see, I get to choose between kids having fun in the outdoors, or political fascists. Easy. Don’t vote Red!!
They want concentration camps to exterminate LGBTQ youth. Nazis… they never get tired of wanting to commit genocide.
Guess it’s time to buy another jacket
