Painting a target for fascists or to whom?
This opinion looks a little question-begging to me: do all businesses who declare these kinds of things do so as branding? I myself, don't believe they do as many would be doing so for advocacy for minority groups, for example.
It’s the same as if your company donates to anti-gay causes. Bigots line up to buy your chicken sandwich but others will protest.
Or, you can be Target and piss off both
I would gladly “paint a target on my back”(whatever that vague threat means) if I could open a minority owned store.
It’s important to show people that success and independence is possible. And if some racist/bigoted idiot has a problem with that, it’s equally important to show yourself standing up to that.
Oh no! Now the conservative religious bigoted pukes will target me, which they definitely didn't do to my gay aass already.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
