Request to Review “86 47” Product Listings for Potentially Harmful Content

[Susang6]

I am concerned about a series of product listings on the platform that feature the phrase “86 47.” While some may view this as political satire, the broader public interpretation often reads as an incitement to harm the 47th President of the United States.

As you may know, “86” is slang for “eliminate” or “get rid of,” and “47” is widely associated with President Trump. Together, this phrase is frequently understood as a coded message advocating violence—something that goes beyond humor and into territory that can incite hate.

I understand that Zazzle values creative expression. However, allowing slogans that can be construed as violent undermines the spirit of respectful dialogue and inclusive marketplace ethics. This goes against Zazzle’s stated content guidelines prohibiting hate speech or threats of violence.

I request that your team review these listings with this context in mind and consider their removal. Doing so would send a strong message that Zazzle prioritizes ethical standards and public safety over politicized messaging that can provoke real-world harm.  (I searched 8647 and there are 6000+ products) 

Thank you for your attention and commitment to maintaining a respectful and responsible platform.

Zazzle has overstepped before, during the BLM times, people had most of its not ALL of their "thin blue line/support the blue" products removed. Because everyone was screaming to defund the police and the George Floyd thing happened. Not to bring her into this but I remember Shelly specifically. I support my police/fire/ems and Zazzle removing those designs peeved me to no end so I refused to purchase anything for myself since.

So again, where do we stop?

Yeah, neutrality sounds good on paper, but there’s a big difference between politics and products that push hostility or exclusion  especially when they’re tucked behind florals or a vintage vibe.

This stuff isn’t just uncomfortable. It's alienating. Customers don’t quietly scroll past it  they bounce. They boycott. They move to shops that feel safe and welcoming. We’re all watching sales dip, and it’s fair to ask if tension in the marketplace is part of the problem.

Real-world backlash proves it’s not just theory. Regina Spektor had to stop her concert mid-song when protesters yelled “Free Palestine.” Her response? “You’re just yelling at a Jew.” That’s not performative outrage  that’s personal harm.

Same goes for David Draiman, lead singer of Disturbed. He faced backlash during Ozzy’s farewell concert just for supporting Israel. Even with most fans behind him, the incident became a flashpoint. This stuff sticks emotionally and reputationally.

And then there’s 86/47  a phrase that’s been interpreted as a coded threat against President Trump. When former FBI Director James Comey posted a photo of seashells spelling it out, it sparked outrage and a federal investigation. Homeland Security and Secret Service got involved because the phrase was seen by many as a call for violence. Even if it’s disguised in florals or vintage aesthetics, the message doesn’t disappear  it just hides in plain sight.

Zazzle’s own Terms say products that offend “a reasonable person” aren’t allowed. So when hate speech shows up  even if aestheticized  it violates that trust. Phrases like “From the river to the sea” may sound poetic, but they’ve been flagged as antisemitic and carry a serious charge.

I get that people want their voice heard. But if a design drives away loyal customers  especially ones who’ve supported creators for years  is it really worth it?

The line doesn’t have to be perfect. But it should be clear: if it divides, isolates, or sparks harm, maybe it doesn’t belong in the marketplace.
