Shopping Today

 I spent this AM over in Mainz (Germany) at three clothing shops.  So the shock?

As you entered all three....NO 'pride' posters' or 'pride' clothing items.  What you had was bright colored clothing, sandals, and normal summer attire.  

Then I walked to each men's department (note, these are premier top shops).....all clothing?  Summer attire....nothing gay, lez, or trans.

Just for the heck of it, I walked through the kid's department....same story.....regular summer attire.  No demon stuff, no satanic stuff,  Weirdest stuff?  Tom and Jerry shirts, Marvel figures t-shirts, etc.

So, one of the shops feature a kid's toy area.....I walk through it.  Big 'hot' item?  Barbie/Mermaid stuff, or regular Mermaid (plain white) stuff, and games/cards.  

Why no satanic/demonic stuff, or trans 'pride' stuff?  Well....I go to three reasons:

1.  If you did put some fantasy lifestyle thing and came to school wearing 'pride' stuff in the German atmosphere.....these bad-ass German kids would be brutal and say pretty hyped-up negative things.  

2.  German shops suffered greatly during Covid.....they would now not be stupid to order 3,000 satanic/demon items or 'pride-trans' items, and be stuck with half of it not being sold.

3.  A number of German shops went under during Covid and they marginally exist now....so the last thing on their mind is to invent some bogus cause and think that it'd sell well to the general public.  

It is a strange prospective to think about.

  1. I quit using the words 'CoVid' or 'S.A.R.S.-CoVid-2'.
    Instead, I refer to those days as 'the economic shutdown'.
