BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[equationgirl]

And yours, and pretty much everyone else who's posting here.

Epic.

 

[brogdale]

Probably for you.

Hmmm...a bit tetchy; you weren’t being serious were you?

 

[Spymaster]

Epic.

Well that was worth the keystrokes.

 

[equationgirl]

Well that was worth the keystrokes.

Because your posts are always akin to Nobel Prize-winning literature, of course.

You're learning. This is your best post on this thread.

You can disagree with their workplace practices yet also find odd some of the manufactured outrage here at times.

What is manufactured and who is behind it?

Why not read the thread instead of relishing the opportunity to shit stir?

Our outrage is the finest artisanal outrage produced in Europe I'll have you know and to describe it in disparaging terms as manufactured shows a certain contempt for our hard work

Outraged AF?

This thread is littered with people who are eager to defend Brewdog without really explaining why. I'm a veteran of messageboards, I know an avoided direct question when I see one.

Not sure what people think they'll lose if they just accept Brewdog's failings.

That made me laugh. I read it in a Roy Cropper voice.

Would make it harder to act like chortling blokeish twats if they do. By not admitting BD's faults they think it doesn't give the game away.

Too late.

My Swedish mate had a theory that because the vikings stole all the Scottish women Scotsmen took to wearing kilts to cover the shortfall.
Which is a bit like occasionally taking a contrarian position on Urban75.

 

[two sheds]

more like talking absolute bollocks on Urban75

Can't answer or won't?

Needs a poll maybe. I ❤ brewdog because:

• I'm an edgy contrarian
• Blah blah... something about free market... pioneering spirit... blah blah
• I enjoy their product
• It's punk AF
• Fuck the unions
• Etc

Projecting much?

 

[Spymaster]

Projecting much?

"Projecting"is a proper wrister term. Up there with "whataboutery" and "edgelord".

DaphneM don't waste your time posting on this thread unless you hate BrewDog. No one on here will accept other than hate for them. There is no other possible option. Do the same as I do, read it, shake your head, sigh, and move on.

...and buy shares in Brew Dog and commend their advertising.

 

[xenon]

Anyway I don't think the label, Sad AF, of itself is all that to get worked up about. But adding to all their other stunts, general business practise, edgy marketting, they're not winning any friends here.

You're the one accusing multiple posters of 'manufacturing outrage'. I'd call that shit stirring,

Someone rocking up demanding I “name names” isn’t shit stirring?

 

[Spymaster]

I bet they're ravaged with grief about it too.

You're the one accusing people of being dishonest, just because you're unable to comprehend why they might be annoyed at a company that treats their staff like shit and embarks on dubious mental health PR campaigns with edgelord branding. So why don't you start by telling me which 'outrage' I'm supposedly making up?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

No idea why I’m being asked to repeat what I’ve already said (which you’ve read) other than for it to be a ban hammer dance.

I don't like people accusing me of lying and then being unable to back up their bullshit, and I'm sure other posters don't like it either. If all you've got is ad hominems perhaps you should fuck off this thread because your empty insults are not adding anything.

Point to where I accused you of lying or I’ll accept an apology.
