Am I understanding this right? We’ve all been boycotting Target for its DEI fuckery, but that’s also how people have been trying to preorder a switch 2?

I think there's definitely FOMO happening here. The way I'm observing it is: they're not buying a new system, they're buying access to a social party that's happening in 6 weeks. Everyone they know is gonna ask "Hey wanna play the new Switch 2 game together?" and you gotta have it to be involved.
Personally, I think its dumb... there are SOOOOOOO many games to play and these new systems aren't like limited edition LOL. You don't have to sacrifice your morals for an Hour One edition of a Switch 2 lol, you can wait and get one eventually.
Interesting. Because a handful of people I know are currently complaining of their inability to preorder theirs from target. So I’m not sure that meshes.
If you feel called out by this post, well you should. I also understand that some folks don't have any other option where they live. I'm not completely unreasonable here, I just notice how often morals go out the window for convenience. Do you.
When I was preparing to buy the Switch 2, I made it very clear to myself that I was not gonna buy from Target… even if every other site was down/sold out…
And no matter how difficult and frustrating it got, I kept my word and did not even think about going to Target.
Yep, that’s why I made sure to include I know some folks don’t have options. I saw a streak of disappointment for folks who couldn’t preorder who were also talking big about supporting the boycott. So wag my finger I did.
I've been soft boycotting these places for a good while anyway, so I don't really feel any guilt for the once/2-3 year purchase. Especially when the alternative is Wal-Mart.
Yeah. Like I don’t mean to come off like a dick to question it. It’s just like, not that surprising. And I know folks will justify it however they need to. Still though.
No I think it's good to point out the hypocrisy and rather blatant one at that. It reminds me of the furs that go to Chick Fil-A and wonder why anyone would be angry with them.

that’s how scalpers are pre-ordering the switch 2
target was one of the only stores without any anti-scalping practices
some people weren’t participating in that boycott
And no matter how difficult and frustrating it got, I kept my word and did not even think about going to Target.
Doing it but still buying the ScamSwitch is a completely different matter tho. 🤮
NO NO NO NO NO!
