Tweets of the Week: Tinder Meltdown and #HappyWomensDay Fail
After a Vanity Fair article suggested that Tinder is contributing to "hookup culture," the brand created a very public fuss. Meanwhile, Bic managed to accidentally insult women yet again.
After a Vanity Fair article suggested that Tinder is contributing to "hookup culture," the brand created a very public fuss. Meanwhile, Bic managed to accidentally insult women yet again.
This week was a dramatic one for Twitter after Bic began the week by insulting women, Tinder publicly defended its status as a legit dating app, and JCPenney came to the rescue with a slew of well-timed compliments.
You would think Bic learned its lesson after the Amazon “Bic for Her” fiasco, but alas, someone at the brand thought it was a good idea to celebrate women in South Africa by encouraging them to “Think Like a Man.” Predictably, the brand gained international press for its bad judgment.

After Vanity Fair, published a piece blaming Tinder for Millinneal commitment-phobia, Tinder fired back in an ill-advised, 30 Tweet social media rant that some are suggesting was a well-timed PR stunt.
It’s disappointing that @VanityFair thought that the tiny number of people you found for your article represent our entire global userbase
