at are stores

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

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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 75 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

This is all I'm going to think of when I see that guy now, lol.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I thought the rich had scales.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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

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

Are Furries Slanesh Beastmen?

[–] OmgItBurns 13 points 3 days ago

Only the fun ones

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (6 children)

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 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 1 points 2 days ago

What tripped up my sensors is that it simply doesn't read like a Moldovan

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 2 days 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 2 days ago (20 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.

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 3 days ago

they are called "mascots" in polite company

[–] fluxx1@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days 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 3 days 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 2 days 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.

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

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

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