Ban Florida forever! Boycott Etsy forever for their “Alligator Alcatraz” (hate speech) and “I love Hitler” merch! CEO Josh Silverman, Etsy is racist, disgusting, inhumane, cruel to sell concentration camp crap (I loved Etsy years ago but your fees keep going insanely higher, abusing vendors, now this hideous hateful shit FFS).

@cjamscfritt.bsky.social‬:

I heard someone call it Alligator Auschwitz. Nuff said

black heathered background with text that reads, "BOYCOTT ETSY UNTIL THEY REMOVE ALL ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ MERCH FROM THEIR SITE."

@rebeccanagle:

Trump’s #AlligatorAlcatraz is on Miccosukee land. During World War II most Japanese internment camps were on reservations.

Ppl have a hard time seeing tribal sovereignty as relevant to other social issues, but it’s all connected.

“May they become human.”

@zentec.bsky.social‬:

I wonder what kind of genuine asshole would wear that kind of clothing in public?

‪@exodia-girl.bsky.social‬:

A Nazi. Duh! They are creaming their panties with ecstasy over the thought of the suffering being inflicted on everyone they don’t like. Which is basically just everyone not white cis/het and male.

‪@nplindaberry.bsky.social‬:

You can report items to Etsy – I’ve just done a bunch – I marked it as violating Etsy policies for hate speech with the comment “This is the first American Concentration camp being built – there’s nothing funny about it and I will not shop Etsy again until this type of merchandise is gone. “

reallyqm.bsky.social‬:

I commented on every offensive item that I found, as follows;
Concentration camps are not funny. This is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. They will come for you and your family one day

@msmclean1.bsky.social‬:

WTF. Revolting. …

‪@apjlaw.bsky.social‬:

I visited the Dachau concentration Camp in 1983, but I dont remember them having a gift shop

‪@altadude651.bsky.social‬:

Because Germany is much more sensible than Florida ever will be.

@derhermit.bsky.social‬:

There’s Alligator Alcatraz merch?

‪@ibjimmyg.bsky.social‬:

Spent about half an hour yesterday reporting all the Alligator Auschwitz crap as hate speech.

@jrgallego.bsky.social‬:

I am on Etsy and don’t have that merchandise. How is that fair to me or anyone like me??.

‪@thegregshea.bsky.social‬:

Silence is supporting this bs.

‪@wmnew61.bsky.social‬:

I will do one better. Will never buy from there again.

@grannylib-51.bsky.social‬:

They’re not the only ones. And Alligator Auschwitz is a more appropriate name for this abomination.

If Etsy had existed in 1940:"Available in S, M, L, XL, XXL"

@oldlaughinglady.bsky.social‬:

eBay as well.

@ameliaregalia.bsky.social‬:

TeePublic has this shite too.

@charleygirl.bsky.social‬:

Yes! I checked Etsy & they are still selling it. Amazon too.

Add Amazon and others to the boycott.

‪@thegregshea.bsky.social‬:

Alligator Auschwitz.

‪@lake-chick.bsky.social‬:

Just messaged them and deleted their app. Disgusting!

@agita2024.bsky.social‬:

Agreed…this is total bullshit and a step down for ETSY

@i-pappas99.bsky.social‬:

This. Is. Not. Normal. To advertise and sell something like that. Not. Normal.

@kaysid.bsky.social‬:

deleted my business account. there are much better places to spend my money

‬‪@merdemerdex2.bsky.social‬:

Guaranteed, I’m gonna lose my shit if I see this trash in public. Raise bail money for me now cause nana is going to jail!

@miatcooper.bsky.social‬:

Holy shit, you can get that depraved garbage in Canada, too! I’ve never shopped there, but I’ll be sure to circulate this problem here as well. Fuck you, Etsy.I checked Etsy Canada before I started this post, yup, heaps of Alligator Alcatraz and I love Hitler merch. Unfucking believably nasty. Indeed! Fuck Etsy! Fuck Amazon! Fuck Facebook! and and and Fuck the USA. and and Fuck Israel and Israeli goods and stay away from Israel/USA too.

@lorijoxoxo.bsky.social‬:

JFC! Why is this shit going on

‪@doublebasslines.bsky.social‬:

I’ve been submitting comments on multiple products to etsy to question whether it is official policy of theirs to promote fascist concentration camps…

@doestahr.bsky.social‬:

Put some things in the shopping cart and don’t complete the sale. With your remarks.

‪@jpaul13.bsky.social‬:

I’m shuttering my store.Thank you!

‪@still-leslie.bsky.social‬:

I’ve almost entirely eliminated purchasing from Amazon. It feels great. I’m just one person, but I am making choices!

‪@midlifemom.bsky.social‬:

I’m working on that too Leslie – the ease of shopping isn’t worth it if they are willing to sell this shitty merchI began boycotting Amazon years ago. Living rural on the Canadian prairies is challenging for shopping. I now just make do without. Most of what I bought on Etsy, Ebay, Amazon was for others. I’d rather not give gifts, than support Nazis.

@jeffow.bsky.social‬:

absolutely..disgusting

‪@ianausbrit.bsky.social‬:

The way I see it , the company is also responsible for what it’s vendors sell. My partner & I will make sure we do not purchase from them until the issue is dealt with at a company level. Selling concentration camp merchandise for the Nazis is not cool.

@conniecherry.bsky.social‬:

No problem. Will do. It’s disgusting to promote inhumanity

‪@bofusteefus.bsky.social‬:

JFC people are sick

‪@beeba1.bsky.social‬:

Messaged 4 vendors about BS merchandise and got a threatening email from ETSY itself about “violating their policies “Stating the “message is private conversation between me and Etsy. Please respect this confidentiality, refrain from distributing this communication without permission from Etsy”

@freyaaegisforte.bsky.social‬:

JFC! Etsy was suppose to be my non-corporate safe shopping place! and absolutely! Yes please, 86 the vile Alligator Alcatraz merch! What intelligent being does this?

@ndelriego:

Alligator Alcatraz cost $450M and flooded in a day. It’s been raining nonstop in SoFlo this week, now imagine during a hurricane. Don’t call yourself a Christian while cheering on a cage built to dehumanize. Jesus fed the hungry; he didn’t drown them.
