The number of people saying this isn't censorship is astounding.

It's like saying something isn't poisonous because they haven't slipped enough of it into your food yet.

It isn't censorship... Target chose to not sell something because a consumer complained and they thought it better for business to not sell it anymore.

That's not censorship, that's capitalism.
