I know the truth. The reason the Burger King wears that huge head and ridiculous outfit is because they are an anthropomorphic fox pretending to be their mansona.

I thought the rich had scales.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

That's just because scale suits tend to be more expensive than fur ones.

(I don't know if it's true)

Why they chose a picture of Majira is beyond me. They could have used anyone and they decided on him.

Are Furries Slanesh Beastmen?

Go to other restaurant beast man

They will lose more customers than just furries.

Although honestly it would be funny if everyone went out and bout animal costumes and just piled into the place. Just order a drink and fill every seat and doorway in there.

It would piss them off and be hilarious all at once.

You guys are talking like this isn’t fake. This is a joke. There’s a bunch of these, it started with “Blockbuster Nigeria” on Facebook, or at least that’s the first type of account like this I saw. This is not run by a Burger King in Moldova, 90% it’s a 14 year old shitposter in the US.

I put on my hazmat suit to bring you this:

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

My sensors must be faulty. I didn't detect this troll at all. Good spot.

No they absolutely won't. If anything this is good PR for them.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I suppose it could be a net gain, but they most certainly will lose furries and people who support others' rights to be themselves as customers.

But yes, overall, they may gain customers. Although i can't think of a time that i have gone somewhere to eat/shop or use a service more because they discriminate against something i dont personally like.

I can think of a number of situations where i have stopped using a service because they discriminate against something i support.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

they most certainly will lose furries

That's the objective

people who support others’ rights to be themselves as customers

The number of people who would boycott a restaurant over furries being banned is going to round down to zero.

The number of people who would boycott a restaurant over furries being banned is going to round down to zero.

As would my patience for arguing about stuff we can't usefully quantify.

Im not going to engage in that discussion.

Anyway as someone else pointed out, this is likely completely fake.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

You started the discussion though lol

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Furry != people in animal suits in public.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 23 hours ago

they are called "mascots" in polite company

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They won't, you really, really, over-estimate how much people would care about weird fetishist people of which there are dozens, and how little of impact posts on the social media have on general public. And bad publicity doesn't exist, so at worst they attract more customers due to being popular meme place where people are banned for ridiculous reasons.

[–] fluxx1@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You really don't know Moldova, or easter Europe then. Most people don't even know about furries and their first reaction is not going to be positive. People are cautious about new and strange things and ultimately get scared of them. They look at this as preserving what is normal to them. I'm sorry, most of the world is conservative, not progressive.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No one cares? Unless you behave extremely weird at worst people assume that you are advertising something or that's some kind of attraction with costumed people for kids. Do people really go around in costumes every day and not on conventions and festivals?

[–] fluxx1@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Yes no one cares, but then a big company announces they will not serve people in animal costumes. Then people go - makes sense, it's weird anyway. I've never seen a person in animal costume in person, not even as a mascot or on a kid's birthday. It's just not a thing here. And I'm from Serbia, it's provably even rarer in Moldova. I would find it weird if someone explicitly said they will deny them service. It's like denying service to dinosaurs, it's odd. It is a good cheap marketing though.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That would just help them with this what I assume is a marketing campaign? No furman har har eat McNugget.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 day ago

I for one appreciate some Umgi finally taking an appropriate stance against the Chaos Hordes.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They have burger king there ?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I had BK in Iraq during the war. Those fuckers are everywhere.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 23 hours ago

Except AUS, kinda.
