Critical Role Wendy’s sponsoring Critical Role?

[Gradine]

Not a super-duper ethical company by the standards of the fast food industry.

Which is saying something!

This is the most bizarre marketing since the old spice D&D "Gentleman" Class

Oh! Thanks for reminding me of that. I'll work it into my Commercial Crossover sandbox setting.

I am going to slot this into the Lost Mines of Phandelver sandbox, somehow.

I want ~ NO ~ I DEMAND a series of Planeshift-style articles outlining the realms of Queen Wendy, the King of Burgers, the Queen of Dairy, and the rogue jester Ronald McDonald.

LOL What's that

Ok. Well, sort of...

More than likely they getting PAID!

And I don’t really begrudge them that in a society where creatives must commodify themselves in order to pay their bills and keep creating, but still it leaves a bad taste when it’s such a crummy company.

Wow, I had no idea ...

It’s... pretty safe to assume every megacorp is incredibly unethical. Wendy’s just happens to be one of the worst among the fast food corner of the market.

What they said, but also, they interfered with/opposed work to protect the people who work the farms that provide their produce.

They also have strong ties financially to political figures and organizations that are in direct and unreconcilable opposition to the espoused ideals of the CR team.

That’s about all that can be said without “discussing politics”. If you google “wendy’s Controversy”, it should bring up results that will further illuminate the situation.

For the record, Matt tweeted this

and they donated a bunch of money to an org for farmworkers.

We really are living in a dystopia...
