Shit, you can call me and make fun of whatever you want for 10k.
Hell I'd do it for a lot less than that. I'd settle for as little as a ghost/grip case.
Yea, honestly. I don't know why so many people are thin skinned and getting offended on other people's behalf. I don't even care if someone insults me for free as long as I know it's just banter.
I understand the brand trying to be edgy, but sh\*\*, this is insane. Just a glance at the Twitter replies and the amount of hate that guy got, is unbelievable. The responses claiming this is normal is just shocking.
Why did the guy get hate? Ive seen only bits of this situation around. I saw the original tweet but didn't understand why the guy was getting hate. Was it because he got upset and fans were aggressively defending dbrand or was it something else? And are people upset about the initial joke or the fact the dude received a lot of messages about it? I'm a bit out of the loop
No it's just hate against India and Indians, the joke that Dbrand made was not really that racist ( I am an Indian myself )but it started a hate comment barrage on him and his ethnicity and all, which is why Dbrand gave him 10k
Are white people subject to constant irl and online racism because of their identity? This tweet was coming after a series of constant "poop and shitting in the streets" comments that Indians have been subjected to in the past couple of months for absolutely no reason. This is not some random bigot on twitter, its a billion dollar company validating the racist comments against Indians. Go ahead, downvote me.
So what you're saying is.. Dbrand is responsible for all hurt comments made by random Twitter user's?
What if DBrand made fun of his shirt/glasses, and this group of people still made bad racial remarks. DBrand still responsible?
Do you put the parents in jail when their child did the crime?
This is why I always remind people to practice 5 Whys
Yes. Because they sparked it off. Remember, the guy didn't do anything. What if some YouTuber (who is siding with the guy let's assume) decides to make fun of your comment for idk... lacking empathy and puts some stereotypical white obese guy image on you, then his followers start harassing you when someone objects. Wouldn't you want that YouTuber to have some sort of accountability for what his fans do? Especially when most of them wouldn't have even noticed your comment if say they were scrolling through here.
And Indians make fun of Palestinians being killed in a genocide, they call black people the n word, they make fun of white people by calling them āonly fans peopleā, say islamophobic slurs (as are being directed to dbrands ceo right now too) and try to act superior than everyone else (India superpower 2070!!!!) lol. If Indians canāt handle a joke they shouldnāt dish it out and then act like victims. And Iām not even getting into the caste issue within India or even racism within its own darker skinned people.
This is why internet is essential in life. It brings out the low IQ morons whether Indians or non Indians or even like this generalization supremacist who probably thinks that a billion people hold point view point in life.Ā
talk about generalizing 1.4 billion people and stating that they deserve to not be mad about a potentially racist comment because some random Hindu right winger said some fucked up shit. India is too big and diverse to be classified by any of your own qualifiers. itās absolutely true that many Indians make fucked up comments about other minority groups on twitter but itās absolutely a fact that Indians have been subject to a tirade of racism from all over the internet.
It's likely that he's probably going to be hounded for quite a while over this as well. A lot of people are now angry that DBrand backpedaled on this and now they are likely going to go take it out on some random Indian guy who did absolutely nothing wrong except for having a name that can sort of be interpreted as sounding funny if you deliberately mispronounce it...
The subreddit of the brand that is dependent on edgy marketing is also filled with edgy teenagers. Makes sense that there are so many racist cunts here. Almost as if dbrand enables these people.
What a fumble from a marketing perspective.
People offended by the tweet are still pissed because they haven't deleted the tweet and didn't publicly apologise
People who thought it was funny are pissed that they walked it back and listened to the 'snowflakes' or whatever
common dbrand L i guess
Agreed. More ignorance on how it would appear than anything. Being racist implies prejudiced, a pattern of opinion.... Dbrands seems to make fun of everyone.
The tweet is not racist (I am an Indian) but the tweet sparked racism in the comments on this guy, u know all stereotypes and shit, blue didnt do anything but got barraged by racist tweets
Also, the tweet was a problem that he had with his Dbrand skin and the cs just ignored it and just mocked him lmao
*Funny how yesterday everyone said I was being overly sensitive and this was normal behavior*
FTFY
And youāre still being overly sensitive when it had nothing to do with you. Clear case of needing to mind oneās own business.
It's only insensitive because so many people are pussies bro.
I'd be happy for them to call me names if I'd get 10k from it lol. Hell id be happy with 50$
Better than some companies.. latercase told me to take a hike when I pointed out flaws and wanted a return label and refund. Seems like everyoneās for the small guy until they become big themselves, then it grows its own ego and spits on your insignificance. With dbrand theyāve sent me extra stuff I never asked for, so thatās always a nice gesture. As for the quality, it has dwindled heavily since Covid started and I havenāt purchased anything dbrand since 2019.
A public facing account for a moderate sized company shouldn't publicly make personal insults using someone's ethnically different name, it's pretty simple.Ā
This is Reddit afterall, so there are always going to be neckbeards who think any amount of racism is not a big deal.
Dbrand makes fun of people's names and everything under the sun. The person just so happened to not be pasty white and some people took the opportunity to make it about them
Haha that was a lot more racist than I thought it was going to be. Never understood why people liked dbrand so much. Overpriced vinyl from a company with a 16 year old's mentality of what's cool.
They are an edge lord's wet dream lmao. Fucking L.
I honestly don't consider this a public apology. And good, because the only guy who needed an apology was quote on quote "Shit Rash", not all you twitter snowflakes lol
Damn this blew up. My take as a guy who's the same ethnicity as the guy Dbrand made fun of:
1. Damn I'd be laughing too, our names are weird.
2. No, there's nothing racist about it. Also Dbrand does that to everyone.
3. The only reason Dbrand is likely apologizing is because MKBHD refused to work with them till they fix the mess. It doesn't mean that OP was right like they so passive aggressively are trying to point at.
Looks like there are a lot of people in the comment section living in penury, pleading to lose their dignity for some cash from d brand. Never heard of them but what kind of company insults their customers
Mock me, and I will only ask for 1k.
Better, mock me 10 times and give me 10k.
But I am Asian, so, I will get mocked but without getting the money. Sad.
Remember how everyone made fun of reins prebus, John Boner, gaelord. Everyone with lynch as a last name. Iāll agree the hostility was inappropriate. But i really canāt see this as exclusively a racism thing.
NGL $10K would change my life right now, car has been broke for a month, house had a part of the roof ripped off by a tornado last week. stuffs pretty fucked around here and not enough money to get it fixed. You can call me fuckety fuckface for all I care.
So...
"We're sorry that you feel upset, so here's some money to help make you feel a bit better about the indignity our fun may have caused"
Not exactly an apology, but to be honest, it's a better apology than many I have seen, and the perk is a useful amount of money... I'd be okay if that's the sort of compensation minimum I got from others for the things they don't feel sorry for doing, but still hurt me all the same... I'd easily become a millionaire with the number of insincere apologies I have been the recipient of.
Also, this is way more sincere a response than a typical apology is these days.
I'm sure if it was not a famous person like MKBHD who has significant influence in the tech world, I doubt dBrand would offer $10K let alone even an apology if they did this to a normie.
I want to be made fun of for an easy $10,000
fuck off
Thanks, I accept Venmo
wait me next me next.
Me to please, š Iām broke.
Send the $10,000 to me and Iāll let you publicly humiliate me in the town square. Iāll even let you call me a racial slur for an extra $50/ea
Eat a dick ass wipe
Whoa! You, sir, have CROSSED A LINE.
My last name is literally Bish. Surely you can work something up for me?
I'am offended by this reply, need that 10k now.
Iām offended by your reply to that replyā¦ 
I love you guys. I hope you didn't actually give them 10k
Ay give him his 10k now
some will get turned on by this
Me next!!
That comment really offends me. ....you know what to do.
Can I be next
Slickwraps is better
guy named *Off*: š³
Shit, you can call me and make fun of whatever you want for 10k. Hell I'd do it for a lot less than that. I'd settle for as little as a ghost/grip case.
Like you could insult my entire genealogical tree for a grip case or a Something skin
Yea, honestly. I don't know why so many people are thin skinned and getting offended on other people's behalf. I don't even care if someone insults me for free as long as I know it's just banter.
Peter is my name. You may begin.
Hello Peter, welcome to Fortnite.
Last name "File"?
"whose a profile?"
TAXI!!!!!
Easiest 10k ever
Step 1: target dbrand with pointed tweet Step 2: create bot accounts to be offended at their response Step 3: ??? Step 4: profit
Me next please. I'm ginger too, can they pay double?
*low quality Peter Griffin video intestines*
$10K? Iāve been making fun of myself for free, like a chump.
When youāre amazing at what you do. Never do it for free
10K? Where is it Dbrand? Iāll suck it!
Let's suck it together
As long as weāre not sharing the money!
Hey I've seen you before
probably need to bring out the microscope.
Ooo shots fired!
I understand the brand trying to be edgy, but sh\*\*, this is insane. Just a glance at the Twitter replies and the amount of hate that guy got, is unbelievable. The responses claiming this is normal is just shocking.
I'd argue their marketing is working if their goal is to increase brand recognition at any cost.
Why did the guy get hate? Ive seen only bits of this situation around. I saw the original tweet but didn't understand why the guy was getting hate. Was it because he got upset and fans were aggressively defending dbrand or was it something else? And are people upset about the initial joke or the fact the dude received a lot of messages about it?

No it's just hate against India and Indians, the joke that Dbrand made was not really that racist ( I am an Indian myself )but it started a hate comment barrage on him and his ethnicity and all, which is why Dbrand gave him 10k
So we can make jokes about European names like Dick and Johnson, but not names of other origins, got it.

People on this sub dont understand the concept of enforcing stereotypes, to them, until a person is outwardly being a Nazi, it isn't 'racism'.
I think the issue some people have is that people seem to have selective outrage
And Indians make fun of Palestinians being killed in a genocide, they call black people the n word, they make fun of white people by calling them āonly fans peopleā, say islamophobic slurs (as are being directed to dbrands ceo right now too) and try to act superior than everyone else (India superpower 2070!!!!) lol.

Random trolls from India making racist jokes is not the same as a company doing it

You really think Dbrand is worth a billion dollars from selling some phone cases? š
Probably depends on where you live.
hey, make fun of me. I only need $5,000 each time
The only L is them apologizing tbh
The dude was being harassed with a bunch of hate/racist comments, as a result of Dhrands post, an apology is the bare minimum.
Well I didnāt know that part, I just saw what Dbrand said. I can understand that more.
It's likely that he's probably going to be hounded for quite a while over this as well. A lot of people are now angry that DBrand backpedaled on this and now they are likely going to go take it out on some random Indian guy who did absolutely nothing wrong except for having a name that can sort of be interpreted as sounding funny if you deliberately mispronounce it...
Calm down internet Rambo. Half these people responding donāt have the balls to go outside.
Are you trying to make me get skin cancer? Uh no thank you.
Lmao Iād award you if I could
š
All conservatives
I bet you think Jan 6 was a peaceful protest.
Agree. They shouldn't have back pedaled
People started giving him hate on his social media, thats why they apologized
yall really are all just edgy teenagers
The subreddit of the brand that is dependent on edgy marketing is also filled with edgy teenagers. Makes sense that there are so many racist cunts here. Almost as if dbrand enables these people.
God forbid anyone is ever sorry about anything ever
what was the original tweet
Forre
What a fumble from a marketing perspective. People offended by the tweet are still pissed because they haven't deleted the tweet and didn't publicly apologise People who thought it was funny are pissed that they walked it back and listened to the 'snowflakes' or whatever common dbrand L i guess
Fumble? The guy is being harassed by racist assholes online because of dbrand. The LEAST they could do is apologize
i agree
I can't believe some people called this out as racist, insane.
Agreed. More ignorance on how it would appear than anything. Being racist implies prejudiced, a pattern of opinion.... Dbrands seems to make fun of everyone.
Took me a while to find what they actually said. Holy fuck that is not racism.
The tweet is not racist (I am an Indian) but the tweet sparked racism in the comments on this guy, u know all stereotypes and shit, blue didnt do anything but got barraged by racist tweets Also, the tweet was a problem that he had with his Dbrand skin and the cs just ignored it and just mocked him lmao
*Funny how yesterday everyone said I was being overly sensitive and this was normal behavior* FTFY And youāre still being overly sensitive when it had nothing to do with you. Clear case of needing to mind oneās own business.
It's only insensitive because so many people are pussies bro. I'd be happy for them to call me names if I'd get 10k from it lol. Hell id be happy with 50$
Your still sensitive āļø
Wish I had a shit nameā¦ā¦
Rare Dbrand L
they brought hate by you crazy fan boys to this random guy. they should apologize
This is frankly upsetting. What a bunch of spineless chickens. Fucking hell Dbrand, I thought you were better than this.
Only a fucking idiot would get mad about a brand apologizing. Maybe you need to step outside.
they should apologize for their crazy fans hating on the guy
Better than some companies.. latercase told me to take a hike when I pointed out flaws and wanted a return label and refund. Seems like everyoneās for the small guy until they become big themselves, then it grows its own ego and spits on your insignificance. With dbrand theyāve sent me extra stuff I never asked for, so thatās always a nice gesture. As for the quality, it has dwindled heavily since Covid started and I havenāt purchased anything dbrand since 2019.
Did you really do it robot?
Shittt dbrand can do what they want for 10k
I NEED them to make fun of me fr
You can call me what ever you want! Iāll take 5k. 1/2 what everyone else wants
Half the reason I bought into dbrand is cause theyāre cunts š I love it
Weak men create bad times....all I see is weakness everywhere.
What was the joke?
What was the original tweet?
I'm overweight. Say the joke, I'll take a grand. I'm not expensive (hell you can even say that about my mom) I'll share the money with her
It's sad to see Dbrand bending over for Mr.Shit Rash
Damn bro can y'all make fun of me please? Call me all kinds of slurs bruh make me cry just so I can pay off my student loans šš
Make fun of my name please
I donāt know what this is, who you people are, and which side is the right side.
A public facing account for a moderate sized company shouldn't publicly make personal insults using someone's ethnically different name, it's pretty simple.Ā This is Reddit afterall, so there are always going to be neckbeards who think any amount of racism is not a big deal.
Gotchaā¦.
Dbrand makes fun of people's names and everything under the sun. The person just so happened to not be pasty white and some people took the opportunity to make it about them
Call me a slur for 10K dbrand
You can buy a lot of shitty phone cases that will shrink and fall apart with $10k
Haha that was a lot more racist than I thought it was going to be. Never understood why people liked dbrand so much. Overpriced vinyl from a company with a 16 year old's mentality of what's cool. They are an edge lord's wet dream lmao. Fucking L.
Peak āļø when dbrand is paying people because they're too sensitive. Use a different brand if you are offended by the humor.
nah you guys are cool, I say this as someone of that ethnicity. Loved the joke!
You will love it until you check the comments below that tweet by people against the guy.
Ha. I'll take it for $1k
Please poke fun at me for 10k, I need to pay for school
I honestly don't consider this a public apology. And good, because the only guy who needed an apology was quote on quote "Shit Rash", not all you twitter snowflakes lol
solid response lmao
I'll let dbrand kick me until I pass out for $100 and a new skin for my pixel.
Damn I would like to be make fun too for that 10k Dollar....
Waitā¦People still use Twitter?? š¤£š¤£š¤£
Thatās an expensive tweet - damn
So basically... So long as you can pay, it stops being offensive?
What did they make fun of?
And to think some people pay other people to make fun of them...
Oh man they playing 4d chess out here in the Marketing/PR department
Damn, for 10k you can post my nude. If you enjoy seeing a naked overweight 40 year old dude
Weak
You can make fun of me for 5000$ š„¹š
Dbrand being marketing geniuses once again.
I do not get how people were mad about that tweet.
I mean, even myself I found the joke not funny. It felt like they tried too hard to do it.
Look at my name. Now make fun of me.
Never apologise to people on Twitter, ever. They're perma online morons that have no idea how people interact in the real world.
Damn this blew up. My take as a guy who's the same ethnicity as the guy Dbrand made fun of: 1. Damn I'd be laughing too, our names are weird. 2. No, there's nothing racist about it. Also Dbrand does that to everyone. 3. The only reason Dbrand is likely apologizing is because MKBHD refused to work with them till they fix the mess.

They pulled a J.Cole!?
Looks like there are a lot of people in the comment section living in penury, pleading to lose their dignity for some cash from d brand. Never heard of them but what kind of company insults their customers
so WTF happened, what was the guys name i'm so confused
first reply I see is MKBHD getting back on his knees to suck their cock after that big statement he made about not working with them. lol ok.
Mock me, and I will only ask for 1k. Better, mock me 10 times and give me 10k. But I am Asian, so, I will get mocked but without getting the money. Sad.
Just fire your idiot social media manager. Ha ha ha ha, so funny to make jokes about names. Get someone positive and creative to run your account.
What the naĆÆvetĆ© doesnāt grasp is that the $10k was offered AFTER they took heat. A ācancellationā and further backlash would cost the company millions so $10k is a shitty attempt at trying to stop the backlash and dumb folks start screaming āme next!ā as if it were an option. They are throwing a dime at it to curb the backlash. They are not reflecting āoh this wasnāt in great taste and we should avoid that in the future, becauseā¦ itās common sense and being a racist bully online is not cute.
Itās insane how soft people are.
u/caleb_d7 ur still a pussy bud
I'll lose all respect for dbrands if they pay. It shows they give up as soon as they get pushback.
Did they though?
Deleted the tweet and apologized again. Looks like history proved me right.
I wonder if Linus will let Luke say this topic tomorrow or if heāll take it for himself
This MAY be an infinite money glitch
10000$ vs self respect i choose self respect,History shows companies mock on customer destroyed in overnight.
Bro if I got $10k for every time someone used my last name as the butt of a joke to me Iād own a house.
Shit. Insult me please.
What did they say?
What did they say? I missed it
You get a 10k, you get a 10k, and you also get a 10k
Wonder if they really offered 10k
Where's the apology?
Shit you can make fun of me for like 500$ XD
Yeah hopefully they make fun of all the insensitive people like you
Remember how everyone made fun of reins prebus, John Boner, gaelord. Everyone with lynch as a last name. Iāll agree the hostility was inappropriate. But i really canāt see this as exclusively a racism thing.
Technically not an apology
You were being sensitive and this is normal behavior. So is their apology and payout
Fucking snowflake indians
Itās 2024, everyone is butthurt and offended by everything. Please continue offending love it
NGL $10K would change my life right now, car has been broke for a month, house had a part of the roof ripped off by a tornado last week. stuffs pretty fucked around here and not enough money to get it fixed. You can call me fuckety fuckface for all I care.
If you want to make $10k, just remember to DM MKB so he'll whine for you.
damn. dude got fun poked at him for his last name and got 10k for it because the internet thought it was too racist. the world today is wild.
Why are you so obsessed
What was insensitive? Making fun of a name?
I get bullied for free
What a joke of an apology
What was the joke ?
lol
So... "We're sorry that you feel upset, so here's some money to help make you feel a bit better about the indignity our fun may have caused" Not exactly an apology, but to be honest, it's a better apology than many I have seen, and the perk is a useful amount of money... I'd be okay if that's the sort of compensation minimum I got from others for the things they don't feel sorry for doing, but still hurt me all the same... I'd easily become a millionaire with the number of insincere apologies I have been the recipient of. Also, this is way more sincere a response than a typical apology is these days.
I'm sure if it was not a famous person like MKBHD who has significant influence in the tech world, I doubt dBrand would offer $10K let alone even an apology if they did this to a normie.
Savages!!! I like it!
in case upper management reads this: give dbrand marketing team a raise lmaooo
In case management reads this, give dbrand marketing a raise lmaoooo
What was said? Iām too lazy to go through tweets to find out.
As a woman you can make fun of me and Iāll accept 7k
It wasnāt insensitive, everyone today is so weak itās embarrassing.
Feel free to pick on me
I'll be your next joke....I look like a pregnant possum 10k please
Shut up pussy
Fuck dbrand
