Jack Daniels, Target, Nike, and a few more are among the companies that are facing the wrath of a certain section of netizens against such collaborations. The North Face is the latest brand to be added to the list. Ever since news about the company's Pride-collection launch for kids went viral, many jumped right into the anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, calling the venture disturbing and accusing the company of grooming.Female and Armed@FemaleandArmed@OliLondonTV These companies need to stop marketing to Littles.

The retailer said in a statement:“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work. Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”Pride-themed items which drew negative attention included “tuck-friendly” swimwear, which was designed for trans women who had not gone through gender-affirming operations. However, several videos claimed that these “tuck-friendly” swimsuits were in kids’ sizes.Though this is not the first time that the retailer has celebrated Pride Month with an array of clothing, the backlash in its aftermath is certainly new. Target has openly expressed its support for the LGBTQ community for a decade. This year’s Pride merchandise went on sale sometime in early May.
