Wolf Tooth makes a big mistake
https://www.instagram.com/p/BSGv-gFF...winnatallcosts
Posting this was in very poor taste. Sexist and homophobic to boot. To their credit it has been taken down and they left an apology post. And continually post apologies in comments of the many screenshotted instagram posts, making no excuses and owning up to it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSG571KB...oth_components I think it's worth sharing as we try to create an open community. Inclusive, and not run by 16 year old bros. Last edited by CMiller; 03-27-2017 at 04:53 PM.

I saw it when it came out, before it was taken down. They aren't the first and won't be the last company to need to reign in social media access for employees.
It will be interesting to see what else they can/will do to 'repair' their image.

I am not sure just how "wrong" this post is, definitely tasteless and immature and stupid.
The knee jerk competition to see who can be the most offended that is popular these days can get out of hand pretty quickly. Some idiot thinks stupid immature images are funny, I know I fit that description sometimes, I assume many other people do as well. Perspective is all I am saying.

I guess not everyone knows how to run a company. Its a shame because I am sure that what they posted is not the opinion of even 50% of that company but now they have to deal with the consequences. .... all this because of a dumb re post that was not even funny (not even touching on the inappropriateness of it but that was just so dumb)

That post was pretty dopey. I hadda laugh at the stupidity of the of the ascending levels of greatness implied by the graphic; the wanker and wankers that came up with and agree to that imagery haven't a clue as to what any of that in real life happens to be.
Whayddaminud, I could be wrong about this, the trick is they'd hafta find girls as dumb as they are. Could happen - water seeks its own level.

Suspected this would show up and the usual suspects would claim that people are looking for a reason to be offended because homophobia is funny, haha lighten up... Pretty much the pro-podium girl crowd who retreat to their safe space when their ancient attitudes are questioned just before the thread gets locked.

What's the big deal right? Just an image that strongly implies a man having sex with another man is the worst possible outcome in a universe of outcomes, and using that homophobia to slag a competitor in the industry.
A competitor, I might add, they kinda need if anyone wants to be able to use their Wolf Tooth bits and pieces. Last I checked they don't make derailleurs. Give it 24 hours before Wolf Tooth announces they've fired someone over this. Because they need to.
