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.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I thought the rich had scales.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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

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

Fake. Only native English speakers make basic homophone mistakes. /s

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:

[–] GreyLotus@thelemmy.club 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There's something about lemmy that strongly attracts people that would take a moldovan fast food parody account so seriously.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

I believe everything I hear on the Internet about Moldova, it's a fact.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

Furry != people in animal suits in public.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 11 months ago

they are called "mascots" in polite company

[–] fluxx1@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months 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 3 points 11 months 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 11 months 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.

They will lose more customers than just furries.

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

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months 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 4 points 11 months 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.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You started the discussion though lol

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I made a statement that they would lose more than just furries as customers. Which frankly is distinctly possible, if not probable. You made a separate claim that the number of people that would care about furries getting banned from a burger king would be very few. Which is not something you can prove, back up with any evidence or quantify is any real way. I refused to continue a discussion about how many people care about furries as it isn't really saying anything about my original statement, which, again, was only that people would care.

Also i get the impression you have a problem with furries. Based on the language you used. I may be wrong, but it doesnt seem likely.

If you can remove your own personal bias from the conversation and talk less about your opinion that no one cares about furries and more about the fact that banning anyone from any service based on them being themselves is a foul act and one that in most circumstances would piss off more than just those in that subculture then we can talk.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ok. Well, like i said. Not engaging. You are disingenuous, purposefully confrontational. A troll of the highest order. Bye.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (14 children)

This is about a joke account making a joke about banning furries lol

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

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are Furries Slanesh Beastmen?

[–] OmgItBurns@discuss.online 13 points 11 months ago

Only the fun ones

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Don't know if he still makes videos, but furry yt content creator I used to watch.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 11 months ago

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

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They have burger king there ?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

Except AUS, kinda.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Can I have all the beast men, women, and people myself then? I don't have a fast restaurant, but I can cook, as long as I don't have to peel potatoes by hand.
