This is really really cheap and downright abusive behaviour. The worst part is that they just make overpriced shitty skins and charge a lot for shipping.

I am seeing that many on Twitter hate seeing countries in Asia flourish while their countries are rotting. They take it out on people in such posts. I really hope this guy files a police complaint on dBrand but more than that I hope our hyper mainstream media picks up this and show dBrand as racist company. That will bring those idiots to their knees.

I dont think filing a complain will do anything to dbrand, what Indians could do at best is to report that post under hate and racial slur on x.
We indians get bashed everywhere, few days ago I was being trolled on Discord in a Ubiquiti server.

That guy can easily win a settlement by filing court case or public humiliation. This will be an easy win for him.

Think twice before Do not buying from dBrand again.​

There, I fixed it. Guy has a beautiful name and without knowing anything, they just attacked on his dignity like he is some irrelevant nobody.

No company should dare troll a consumer like that. Goes to show how sick this cheap brand is. Wonder what dBrand would do with this American celebrity ---https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Dick

It's an echo chamber of trolls who extract pleasure from inflicting pain upon others. Present in all corners of the planet.

+1 The brand needs to compensate. Should be 10 lacs minimum.

Some brains are perpetually underdeveloped. Whoever is operating that Twitter handle needs mental help. Imagine trolling someone over your inability to read and comprehend words.

And let's not even discuss the replies. Sweet sweet racism. Doesn't help that some Indian clowns go out of their way to write "It's just a joke, not racism."

So glad that I am not on this platform.

Am I the only one here who doesn't think this is racist? You may think it's a dick move, and that's fair, but these guys make fun of literally everyone - that's their whole schtick and what makes their marketing so effective.

Don't get me wrong, I think making fun of someone's name is pretty childish, but I haven't seen anything to indicate they wouldn't do the same thing to a Westerner.

Oh in case that is how they are consistently with everyone, and it can be reasonably assumed that there was no malintent, then it is fair to say we don't need to worry too much about it from the racism angle, despite it being quite insensitive. I was under the impression that they had targeted him specifically.
 
I don't think they were being racist, that's how they are.

Insensitive? Definitely. Racist, nah.

As for the comments? Racist trolls exist everywhere, just have to learn to ignore them (within reason).

He thought it was a fake ID nothing more. This happens and one kind of joke is to purposely pick strange fake names and ask a question only to hear the host struggle to pronounce it.

Twenty years ago this would be normal but thing to remember is it happens to everyone.

In the US I once worked with a guy called Dana Bumstead. Towards the end I asked him where his name came from and he said it was English. My next question was how did he survive high school with a name like that...

His face fell and whole team burst out laughing :D

I usually advertise myself as an Indian Trump supporting redneck and act obnoxious. No problems :)

Earlier I used to hide that I was Indian. These days I won't shut up about India

It helps to know geopolitics, usually the guys that take shots are too scared to reveal where they come from.

The lesson is simple if you are confident about your identity and where you're from. NOBODY can bring you down.

The west is going woke these days so any anti racial behaviour is now considered a 'micro aggression' . Lol What?

I was used to more full throated abuse.

Social media is funny. If this were to happen to me in a service centre/showroom, I'm definitely not taking it lightly. If it was in, say, a stand-up comedy show, it'd be fine as I enter there to have fun; so there's some sort of pact between the comedian and me, stated or understood.

The way I see it, 'this is what we do' is not enough reason to presume such pact. The customer was looking for help; and

this only makes it worse: They didn't feel the need to state that the problem was solved, at least as a side-note, but were 'attempting humour'? If the intention was marketing, wouldn't you want to somehow let people know that you've solved it? Sounds more like they're attempting deterrence against people taking issues to social media now.

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. This is 7th std banter

Definitely nothing to get outraged about

And it's not unusual for people to make fake complaints to get free replacements

I think they're alright. Sure their joke wasn't funny enough to justify the drama or the 10,000 USD they offered the guy, but i don't think we should mistake this for a marketing stunt. They make good stuff and take care of people when they have issues. It doesn't make sense to go around whining about their character, just as it doesn't make sense to whine about how the shopkeeper of a grocery store is an asshole otherwise.

The below lines (taken from their reply to a reddit thread here) may provide a view of why they may do what they do.
Our brand voice hasn't changed one bit since 11-11-2011. Have some of you gotten tired of our communication style? It would appear so. We don't care. This isn't some ****ing marketing schtick. What you see, what you read, and what you experience is nothing more than a window into who we are.

The intersection of our accessibility and our abrasiveness has always made us a polarizing brand. Some people find our honesty and lack of filter charming. Others find it grating and annoying. Neither group is right or wrong, nor do we have an obligation to tailor our brand voice to align with your standards. If you’re looking for a company who fakes parasocial relationships and bends over backwards to meet socially acceptable norms around politically correct corporate speak, all in a thinly veiled attempt to exploit your hard-earned money, look elsewhere. We make an excellent set of products and we want your ****ing money. Simple as that.

You might take issue with, for instance, a cart abandonment email that says "hey human, don’t be a wimp and purchase what you left in the cart," but the fact of the matter is that a lot of people are into it.

This is exactly what it means to be polarizing: what one person hates, another will love. Take politics, for example. While most brands treat political discourse like corporate suicide, we jump right off the bridge. Some say that you can't please everybody. We don't even try.

It's understandable that people are upset about what they said, but I'd rather have this than have another plain and characterless company in the world.

Oh, I didn't know being abrasive was company policy :D

With humour like this they sound Canadian or a state bordering but I could be wrong

I would much rather deal with a professional boring company 365 days of the year instead of paying someone to abuse me? What is so cool about that?
