    I suppose it could be a net gain, but they most certainly will lose furries and people who support others’ rights to be themselves as customers.

    But yes, overall, they may gain customers. Although i can’t think of a time that i have gone somewhere to eat/shop or use a service more because they discriminate against something i dont personally like.

    I can think of a number of situations where i have stopped using a service because they discriminate against something i support.

      That’s the objective

      people who support others’ rights to be themselves as customers

      The number of people who would boycott a restaurant over furries being banned is going to round down to zero.

        As would my patience for arguing about stuff we can’t usefully quantify.

        Im not going to engage in that discussion.

        Anyway as someone else pointed out, this is likely completely fake.

            I made a statement that they would lose more than just furries as customers. Which frankly is distinctly possible, if not probable. You made a separate claim that the number of people that would care about furries getting banned from a burger king would be very few. Which is not something you can prove, back up with any evidence or quantify is any real way. I refused to continue a discussion about how many people care about furries as it isn’t really saying anything about my original statement, which, again, was only that people would care.

            Also i get the impression you have a problem with furries. Based on the language you used. I may be wrong, but it doesnt seem likely.

            If you can remove your own personal bias from the conversation and talk less about your opinion that no one cares about furries and more about the fact that banning anyone from any service based on them being themselves is a foul act and one that in most circumstances would piss off more than just those in that subculture then we can talk.
