Nobody is saying that the worse thing happening to women is 'a beer label'. That's so not the point of the thread
But by contributing to misogyny through their products, company culture and marketing, Brewdog are making the overall situation faced by women in and out of their business, worse

No doubt Magnus’ thread on street prostitution will be an absolute belter. And his mega thread on the totalising effects of capitalism and what can be done about that.

That must explain why you've posted in this thread about a beer label what, 120 times so far? While this is your contribution on the topic of prostitution.
Always worth remembering when doing whataboutery posts on urban that it's very easy to see exactly how committed to the bit you are.

For me, sometimes a useful discussion can be had about forms that capitalism takes in specific workplaces.
Wider culture, documentaries, the intersecting oppressions unleashed by sexist hipster twats.
It can highlight the tasks of workers organisations like this:

I sometimes work for a living. I was gone from here for 8 months last year. You were gone for a while also. So pointing to threads for levels of commitment can be a bit misleading.

I don't know why you're trying to bring prostitution into this particular thread, Magnus, it's a distraction and so far there is zero evidence of Brewdog being involved in prostitution.
I was saying that in terms of misogyny in society there’s far worse than a beer label. I’m sure you’d agree?

Ah yes, that must be why you've been posting in this thread since 2018 and in that same four-year time period have posted in precisely no threads at all about prostitution. You've got nowhere to go with that one Magnus, just admit it was a fucking stupid thing to try and get on your high horse about and move on.

I'm sure you'd agree trying to rate actions in terms of misogyny is pointless. All of misogyny is bad, whether it's (as you keep insisting) 'a beer label' or the way complaints about misogyny are raised.
It's not 'a beer label' by the way, IT'S THE WHOLE OF BREWDOG'S ACTIVITIES FROM THE CEO TO THE CULTURE AND THE MARKETING. NOT A FUCKING SINGLE LABEL'.
Given your amazing abilities to search threads, can you find any about prostitution between 2018 and now?

Does this mean I've got to stop posting on the Snooker thread because there are things far more important in society?
You'll have to join the cue to post there.
(Sorry, I'm ashamed of myself)

Surely you would have started one yourself, given your evident interest in the subject. No? How odd. It's almost as though you were thoughtlessly trying to weaponise a different, emotive topic to try and shut people up about this one. A supposedly pointless thread where, I will note, you are still posting.
Oh now you’re trying to twist it. But given I said I was surprised that more pressing matters weren’t being discussed all you’ve done is confirm my point.

I don’t think saying ‘it’s no worse than loose women’ is really accepting being corrected. Especially when you go on to minimise their misogyny by falsely claiming the complaints are about a beer label. Over the last couple of weeks your posts have been all about refuting other people’s complaints about the company. That’s seriously apologist behaviour.
I get quite a lot from debates from opposing views. More than nodding along.

Everyone else just gets to see you acting like a prick.
Not sure you speak for everyone but I'll take that.

This thread could have been about twenty pages of the same few people nodding along and agreeing with each other, and read by no-one else. Instead it's 150 pages long with a wide ranging and engaged audience. This has ensured that the issues discussed have reached the attention of many more people than they otherwise would have. Really, those who have made careful but provocative interventions throughout its course should be thanked. They won't, of course, but that's not what really matters in the end.

I rather belboid spoke for me than others on this thread did so.

Please, do share what you're gaining from the 'it's just marketing' side of the debate, because so far that appears to be the side you seem to identify with.
