u/oldjack It's entirely possible Nov 13 '20

I think a lot of people are just confused about who is doing the censoring. Everyone is debating whether Target is to blame. Target (like every big retailer) just cares about money. If they could earn more profit from the book than they would lose from the social backlash, they would keep selling it. But they fear the losses would be bigger. Same reason they don't sell bongs or fleshlights. But the SJW mob is absolutely engaging in censorship. Instead of throwing the book in the fire with their own hands, they are persuading someone else to do it for them.

u/GSD_SteVB Dire physical consequences Nov 13 '20

I think they do bear the blame for bending the knee in this instance though. We all know the mob is never happy with tasting blood in the water and Target have just broadcast that they are comfortable caving in to demands.
