Etsy Selling Homemade Hate

 


 If you are like me, you are sickened by the recent news of people selling 'Alligator Alcatraz' merchandise online. We are in a litmus test of seeing how much more we can endure. Etsy and Amazon are the two biggest companies which have been selling the merchandise. I haven't been to either websites in awhile now. I stopped using Etsy after I bought a pair of earrings supposedly handmade in Switzerland. (I know, I'm a sucker born) I was suspicious about the package which came from Hoboken, New Jersey, via China. I actually sent a text to the seller asking him why I'd get a package from China if they were in Switzerland? I knew it was a scam, but I still wanted to see what they would say. Someone did reply, writing something about an employee using the wrong envelope or some stupid nonsense. I made a complaint to Etsy and heard crickets. The other thing that also bothered me is sellers not even selling physical merchandise anymore, but selling downloads to make your own whatever. They seem to be purposely misleading buyers who will receive an email to download the diy project and not the actual cute item pictured. As Rosanne Rosannadanna said, "It's always something." 

Anyone making a profit endorsing the suffering of other human beings needs to be checked and cancelled. Have you ever figuratively put on a pair of MAGA shoes to try to comprehend why they have so much hate germinating inside of them? (Careful, it's like the House of Horrors at a carnival) It's mind boggling the effort they go through to show how much rage they carry. They not only have shown the world their offensive true selves, they want to now flaunt how proud they are to be empty of any moral decency.

From what I hear on the Bluesky vine is that people are calling out Etsy big time. Some of the sellers have been taken down while others continue to pop up. Anyone with a conscience should not be going to Etsy or Amazon anyway. Anyone with a beating heart should not be buying merchandise which mocks the imprisonment and suffering of others.

We do have some leverage. We simply stop buying from greedy, sick and corrupt entities. We continue to hound them until they stop allowing hate merchandise to be sold.
