They reached out to the company to ask why they'd allow something like this in their stores, and their answer sent shivers down our collective spines:
"It's 2024," said Build a Bear CEO Joe Barron, "We have to cater to all religions. Honestly, these folks are nicer and quieter, and they tip the employees really well. We had some of them Evangelicals in last week. We spent half the time making Jesus bears and half the time fighting off their conversion efforts."
Barron says the devil worshipers hardly ever have special requests, whereas other customers sometimes ask for things the store simply can't provide. "They wanted us to crucify a bear on Easter. With real nails and pig's blood. But sure...those Satanists sure are terrible."
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
