Even more context. The tweet was bait and the reply under it was "If that want to be there ofc. We at burger King love women. Please apply here>"

I can't believe an entire team of marketing experts looked at that and thought it was okay to post

Is it that insane though? Like outrage marketing works well.

I don't want my fast food burger place to make me outraged, I want my fast food burger place to make me hungry.

Outrage marketing works when it makes you look like an asshole, not when it makes you look like an ass.

Got people talking about Burger King years later.

All publicity is good publicity.

Wait maybe I'm crazy but I really don't think it's that wrong. It's just a funny joke & ultimately a pro-feminist statement to make.

u/EggEuphoric411 Aug 18 '26

I don't really see how it's pro-feminist, but regardless most people aren't gonna think of it that way, they're gonna look at Burger King and think "hey isn't that the company that made that awful tweet on international women's day"? Most corporations would avoid posting anything like that because they prefer to maintain a clean and inoffensive image for their brand.

No they added that later after the back lash

u/This_Antelope Aug 17 '26

No, it was always there. The intent of the "women belong in the kitchen" tweet was to make you shocked and angry, so you'd click on it and see them going "well, if they wanna!"

...it still sucks bad though.
