One of the largest clothing retailers in the US, Target, has opted to highlight one of its products with a unique look. However, similar approaches have already been used by other companies.
Reign Murphy took to Twitter to criticize the behavior after she found some of the tweets offensive. When Reign posted pictures of the top on Twitter, they garnered a lot of attention.
She wrote on her T-shirt, “OCD Christmas obsessive-compulsive disorder,” Those who are actually experiencing mental illness may find this design upsetting.
The slogan on the t-shirt caught her off guard; she didn’t like the colors or the size of the top. It is a challenging experience for persons with OCD who have received a diagnosis.
Around 2.2 million Americans suffer from OCD, a psychological condition, and they all endorse her writing and way of thinking.
Not everyone actually thought it was done on purpose. There are many people who claim to have OCD yet are unaffected by it, and not everyone finds humor amusing or understands it. Target’s spokesperson, Jessica Carlson, issued an apology to any consumers who were hurt by the item.
She added that since there was no malice involved, the sweater would be sold in the future.
