The backlash is particularly interesting. 1 person checked out the site because they were intrigued, but left confused as it seemed to be a business chat. Didn't seem very professional to them.
Another wondered why you'd use an 'obviously racist' meme to advertise your business. ... I still can't figure out how it's racist. I'm guessing some of the jokes were, and not he associates all use of the meme with those jokes.
But most importantly, you haven't successfully gone viral until someone's upset with your success. Congrats, Hipchat! :D
- dkokelley 15y agoThe 'obviously racist' remark comes from something similar 4Chan did to Hot Topic when the store began printing memes on tshirts. 4Chan created incredibly racist rage comics and submitted them to media outlets, accusing Hot Topic of promoting racist memes.
