I also got "bake the cake" vibes from this story. I've never been to build-a-bear, but it sounds like naming the bear involves custom work.
if that's the case, then it still holds that no custom shop should ever be compelled to do a custom work if they are not comfortable with it. the shop is definitely being petty, but as far as the law is concerned they should win any legal action.
The bakery it's easy to prove they TARGETED that bakery in particular because they were Christian as they didn't try an Islamic or Jewish bakery or even a non affiliated one.
Here, it's extremely hard to prove anything and that name would seem normal to most as not like they're trying to call the bear Adolf Hitler.
Crowder tried askig muslim-owned bakeries to make him a custom gay wedding themed cake and several refused. We all know why the wokies targetted a christian bakeries hundreds of miles away.
Trying to force a Christian bakery to make a highly blasphemous, insulting cake : "what's wrong bigot!? You should give your labour to everyone!"
Just putting a normal name on a teddy bear that references a normal but known guy: "RRREEEEEEEEEE!"
(this is going to be unpopular here)

Agreed, but unlike the bakery build-a-bear is a national franchise which most likely has anti-discrimination policies in place
That and it's a lot harder to prove malice.
