Among Abprallen's other apparel are images of pentagrams, horned skulls, and references to devils. "Satan respects pronouns," reads one previous design, featured on T-shirts and pins. These items have even been known to be sold at London's Satanic Flea Market during December, which the brand promoted on its social media.
Target did not respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.



"Being called a demon is something I can cope with, and the idea of a trans demon is pretty damn cool, most of my work focusses [sic] on gothic or dark and satanic imagery juxtaposed with bright colours and LGBT+ positive messages," Erik wrote on the brand's Instagram last year.
The designer claims that the brand was approached by Target for the collaboration while also acknowledging that the designs have already made "transphobes infuriated with me."
"I wanted to ensure that any young people who saw Abprallen in Target would know that who they are is beautiful, purposeful, and worth expressing," Erik wrote in a statement.
"I imagined what it would be like for a younger version of myself to see something more specific, more tailor made than a lacklustre rainbow flag. I wanted to create a range that would embrace younger me and tell him that who he is is more than OK, that being trans is special and wonderful and that the closet is not made for him to thrive in."

I posted this when it came out too.
Then I went into the local store and took pictures of the displays to see it for myself. They definitely targeted children. Target's target market of influence for satanic queerness were little children.

There is definitely a spiritual force behind the current Trans ideology. Long before it was part of the woke agenda, Marilyn Manson promoted androgyny and Satanism together.

Satan “identifies” as God, that’s why he “respects pronouns”

That Marilyn Manson is a wicked musician.
Another thing I noticed about him is the creepy eye contact lens. He reminds me of the guy who leads the church of Satan with a glass eye. Then there's the symbol of the Egyptian eye of Horus on the pyramid that all those magazines' covers have. You know what I mean, where the photographers tell the celebrities to cover one eye? Anyhow, they tried to gain acceptance among adults until they push it to children with their pot bellied cross dressers organization going to all of the children's libraries in the country.

Zechariah 11:17

Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.”

oh and p.s. they do love to promote the one eye symbolism, just like a dog likes to mark a lamp post!!

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

That's an interesting application with the Zechariah passage. Who is this Deli Ali, a false deity of lunch meats and assorted cheeses?

Sometimes, when i see these products made that supposedly "support Satanism" i think it's just a way to troll Christians and through that reaction make more profits on sales.

Sometimes Evil doesn't have to be written on a shirt when it's pretty evident through an evil action from a guy with a tuxedo for example.

I mean yeah that's always a possibility but most of the time is trolling Christians and it never fails because through the outrage or the reaction of Christians, they basically got a free commercial to make their products known in a larger reach.
Evil sometimes is seen in people wearing uniforms, like a policeman or army or what have you.
But since they don't wear a 666 shirt they don't get a lot of coverage in Christian settings.

Just wear the shirt as shorts and people will ask what 999 means.

I’m sure one day that the Antichrist will claim to be “just trolling Christians” as he rolls out the Mark of the Beast!!!

You, know this is an interesting topic i've been curious about.
What's your experience with interacting with people who "Belive" in Satan in real life? What about the Internet?

Here's my experience.
In real life, i've met zero so-called Satanists who worship Satan. None. I'm 46 years old, i think (i stopped counting after 40 ;)) and during this whole time, zero interactions with Satanists in real life.

In the Internet however, i have met some characters and of course with the Internet you have to take things with a grain of salt because it's difficult to tell if someone is being genuine or discussing in good-faith.
But with all these so-called Satanists that i've interacted in the Internet, none of them were able to answer any basic questions.
Why do you believe in Satan? What do you get out of it? Is there a reward involved? Do you know that Satan represents the evil side? If yes, why do you do it?

All of them and i mean all, were not able to answer any doctrine questions about Satan (if there is one) and were confused by these questions. What they did say is that they do it cos it's "cool" or to "irritate Christians" or simply "why not".
But none of them had any clue in terms of doctrine though.

So, what's your experience with this topic?

It’s actually a good question. It also ties into the dual aspects of the enemy - Satan / Lucifer.

I have met some luciferians in real life and many more online. They are often drawn in by “anything but God” spirituality.

I have also met a smaller number of ironic satanists who are most often into Scientism and hedonism. Perhaps they believe that when they mock God and don’t get judged, that proves to them that He is not there and they get to carry on sinning regardless. “Fight Song” by Marilyn Manson reflects this sentiment.

A third group of which I have met only a handful seek power and spiritual thrill and experiences. Their curiosity drives them into demonic involvement and sometimes acting out various forms of ritual and witchcraft to gain more power. Even these groups don’t often go so far as to say they worship evil. More often they are committed to absolute freedom, no accountability, unrestrained self expression and supreme selfishness (even at the expense of others).

In this last group, I have met two people I think were demon possessed, one aggressively resisted prayer, another one was delivered and eventually gave his life to the Lord and got baptised.

This is very interesting @FRB72. What you mentioned there it seems to me, also based on what i chatted online with these types of folks, is that they mostly do these things to "get at" Christians but the last part is what i think would be a genuine or possessed person by Satan. This type of event is something that's mentioned in the Bible, as well as other stories i've heard when i was a child, but again never interacted with a possessed person directly.
Even the priest at my church who has done a fair amount of traveling around the world, did not mention any personal encounters with possessions but he does acknowledge them and he has told us of other priests in other churches who have delt with this type of stuff.
I think this last part, possessions, would be something that's more real compared to ironic satanists as you mentioned or others who just want to get a reaction out of Christians.

I was looking for a montage of hundreds of celebrities posing with one eye covered, but I think YouTube deleted it. Anyhow, here's one about Katy Perry's line of clothing.
One eyeball clothing line.

Why I don't go into Target, and haven't for years. When a desire for mental and spiritual health is condemned, time to walk away and not look back.

I've spoken with Wiccans. One I believe was demon-possessed. Nice girl, but she had to fight herself to keep from biting into and eating human flesh. I told her that her gods and goddesses were actually fallen angels, but she became very offended and asked me not to go there again.

As for those who directly worship the devil himself, I know there were supposed to be some "satancons" recently, but they weren't very successful.

A college Christian friend was a former witch, and she could tell you a story or two.

Oh wow so that first case not only lines up with the Bible but also with many stories I heard as a kid.

As far as ”witches” go though, I’m not sure what to make of that because I’ve only had like one interaction with that topic.
I live in Massachusetts, so of course I had to visit Salem once.
What I saw was basically a whole town trying to monetize the “ witch “ topic.
- Come here young man and I’ll read your hand for $100.
- Hah yeah sure lady, find another tourist to rip off.

I didn‘t see anything serious basically.
