They tried to be feminist.

Not very hard but they tried.
No they didn't.

They tried marketing and it was very successful.

No, they did not. They used misogyny as click bait on international womens day. And now we get to hear men tell us all about how we cant take a joke, etc. if we take offense to it
Who's said we can't take a joke though? Mostly I've seen people calling BK on their shameless use of "controversy advertising".

My question would probably get answered if I looked at the twitter replies I bet though >.>

Yeah I saw some of the replies from men complaining about how people cant take a joke, etc. I do think most are seeing it as a shit advertising attempt though. But my point is they did it at the cost of women on international womens day of all things. I mean, Id boycott BK but I havent eaten there in years. Their food is shit anyway lol

This is just in bad taste, which is a Burger King staple so really at least they're consistent.

Oh, 100% was a shitty thing for them to do even if the "end intent" was good. They could have just done that without being pricks about it.

Been about a decade since I last stepped inside a BK myself, the food always just made me feel nauseous.

If this was posted on GameFAQs, it would have been moderated for trolling.

Mods don't like bait and switch posts.

This reminds when Pokmon tweeted that Porygon did nothing wrong and they had to delete it lol

But Porygon did nothing wrong.

It was Pikachu that cause the flashing lights that caused seizures.

Looks like Caution or Tails hacked into BK's account because that's such a copy/paste deflection bait move. Hope they get torched to hell for taking that shit this far.

I think it's VERY likely they planned on the outrage and did it this way intentionally. Outrage spreads things far and wide and for big companies the gains outway the small (in comparison) number of people who get upset by it.
The people spreading it are only going to spread the first tweet.

I suppose that's an optimists way of looking at it. The reality of it is people see it, go rabble rabble for 30 seconds max, then forget about it within 5 minutes.

I thought the meme template was that you say the controversial thing on the first line, and then immediately correct it on the second line. It's not supposed to be done across separate tweets >_>
