Target has been accused of trivializing mental illness by stocking a holiday sweater that reads: “OCD Obsessive Christmas Disorder.”

We first spotted this story on Adweek, which points out that Target isn’t the only retailer selling goods with the slogan this season.

However, given the size of Target, it appears to be the company that has drawn the most ire by stocking the item.

Target says it has no plans to de-list the item.

Twitter users have been complaining about the sweater and have asked Target remove the product from its stores and online.

People will find anything to complain about in this day and age. It's getting quite ridiculous and ends up trivializing the true instances when something really is offensive. I hope Target continues to give them the big middle finger and keeps selling.

It's dumb anyway. Only People of Walmart will actually go to Target to buy it and wear it.

I'm offended because it's not funny. However, I haven't gotten over being offended by the red Starbucks cup. The war on Christmas is real and it's coming.

I'm still offended by Target's manatee gray XL clothing line.

I want to open a store and purely sell things that people find offensive. I would never have to advertise.

I'm not sure you can build a store that large.

Yikes

I'm offended that it's not even Thanksgiving, and they are already selling Christmas stuff. Stop!

 

[CC0492]

^ They start before Halloween, forget the "it's not even Thanksgiving yet" stuff. That's old news.

 

[FSUTribe76]

Yeah apparently "Christmas" is now mid-October through the end of January. Bah humbug.

 

[44DaCuse44]

I'm guessing that the main gripe is that "DISORDER" is written in a non-Christmas color.

Agree. There is a large segment of society who is not happy unless they have something to be outraged about.

Outrage thread about people outraging. Very meta

 

[maddog69]

So people with OCD are obsessing about something? Who could have known?

 

[TallyNole93]

Now the color blind are outraged with the Bills/Jets color of uniforms last night. Red and green. Can't even fart anymore without offending someone.

No but I was impressed the response from you was only 4 words though
