I seen too many internet forums saying that if you don't boycott X, Y, and Z, then you're a "terrible person". What do you think about that?

Chick fila a and hobby lobby for sure

Target will get a bit of leeway from me.

The other two are run by people who have actively funneled money towards shit like conversion therapy

Target, unless I've missed something, just kind of pulled their DEI initiatives, so while they're not doing anything to make the situation better for LGBTQ people, they're not trying to actively make shit worse for them either.

Also nothing chick fila a or hobby lobby sells is particularly essential, you don't need craft supplies and fast food. Target at least sells basic essentials like clothes, groceries, medications, etc. and sometimes they're the only or most affordable place in town to get those things, so I can't exactly begrudge people for shopping there for those things unless I know there's a better alternative.

If you can, you shouldn't shop at target of course, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I mean, Walmart is far worse than Target. People shit on Target now because they used to take a stand and then suddenly bailed like cowards. Walmart was born in evil, molded by it.
