The people that buy NF are already tranny and ghey, so doubt there will be much of a boycott.

“ It's funny that nobody cared about this last year when they did the exact same thing. Sensitivity is at all time high right now, on both sides.”

This is the wrong issue for the “both sides” argument. Side A is trying to force total idiocy and fantasy on normal society and is “sensitive” because normal society, ie 99% of people, isn’t going along with it.

Side B was willing to go along with adults doing weird stuff as long as they didn’t mess with kids or demand everyone else celebrate or participate in their weirdness. Side A crossed a line over the last year or two and is now going to reap the backlash.

Honestly, the LGB’s need to kick the rest of the alphabet soup weirdos to the curb before they get drawn into something they want no part of.

Sounds like a plan. I’ve got too much stuff as it is. Several years of boycotting all non essential purchases would be good for several reasons.

You have to remember, these are global brands. Not just American. North Face is huge in Europe and they don't care if they are LGBTQ or not. Guessing they are more secure in their sexuality. Plus most don't follow dumb fascists leaders like here.

I still don’t understand the logic behind a national brand basing advertising on homosexual fetishism and cross dressing. There might be some segment of their customer base who perhaps will buy their product because of their endorsement of homosexual fetishism. But that small minority is dwarfed by the number of people turned off by it.

It’s not a hard or trick question.

Do you think that the fact that you won’t just say why you’re upset means it’s not a great reason to be upset.

I guess it’s nice you threw in that last part and didn’t just call me a tranny lover.

To be fair. nF and Patagonia have a pretty liberal fan base anyways. They lose the frats in the south but the northerners will continue to buy it. Bud light is still way worse. Have friends that are distributors in a couple states and they are getting killed.

I’m getting serious about targeted, as it were, boycotts. Beer is easy. I’ve never liked Target. Very very rarely shopped there.

Don’t care about North Face. BUT North Face is owned by Vanity Fair, which bought Altra. I’ve run in nothing but Altra for over 10 years now.

Ive been wearing Spyder ski gear for 3 seasons and absolutely love them. Super lightweight, dries in no time and nowhere as stiff or noisy as NF.
