Get a spine. FFS!

Was it actually a ‘single’ person that was originally offended or was it a ‘smug married’ offended on a ‘singles’ behalf because they feel soooooo bad for us!! Poor us, what will we do all alone 🥺 laughable 🤣

That's maybe why their single - a serious lack of a sense of humour

Seems like something new everyday for snowflakes to get offended at, this PC madness needs to stop, and people realize that there will be things they don't like the just need a thicker skin, otherwise we'll end up in some orwellian society where rules change all the time.

Well personally I think we’re getting ridiculous now. There’s really nothing offensive about that ad. Disclosure: I’m a happy RevolutApp customer

Comedy - in modern times is often confused with anger, hate and outrage 🤷‍♂️

ionayoungmoney Seriously? Another one without a discernible sense of humour. And I'm single by the way

People need to get a goddam grip

Why the fuck are people so easily offended these days?! humourisdead

Made up rubbish to get noticed! Revolut who?😶 Oh,The (boring) Brit awards (pro-white😮😮😮 ) get a mention too! 😀 To quote humour Dua Lipa IDGAF! Top tune 2019 Mabel`s got a winner! No.7 this week😀

Nice bit of free advertising, marketing team probably getting a bonus now thanks to this non news story.

If you somehow find yourself being offended by this then you will find, in that offence, the reason why you are (and should stay) single. We are all in enough trouble without you multiplying.

Awwww diddums.

Great advert

I dont see the problem.....not that I can see it that well through the tears of being alone for nearly 17 years 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Time to cook my meal for one, make a cuppa for one and scoff chocolate for 10.

Get a grip people

Grow up

Single-shaming? Are you for real? Can Britain get any sillier? Looks like, yes it can.

UK bank snooping on customers

Stop using the word 'backlash' based on one tweet. Before you picked this up hardly anyone gave a shit.

Steadfastly single and seriously not offended 🤷🏼‍♀️ please don’t whine on my behalf ...... now where’s that Just Eat app 🥠🍜🍕🍔

It's as funny as telling someone they have 'nae mates'. Something I get frequently as I am ASD so they're correct of course I don't do mates.

A jokes meant to be funny and make you laugh. The advert is just patronising.

If you feel single shamed by this ad, then it's no surprise that you're single. Toughen up buttercup! Revolut

People get a life

Can't take a joke, best go live on an island out of the way of normal people

Bet it’s the singles complaining- hence why they are single. Moan to much.

I think the word 'joke' must of been removed from some people's dictionary

When I saw the sun this morning I thought all the snowflakes had gone

As a single person i can say that i am positively absolutely not offended at all 😊

Ironically, her not having a sense of humour may well explain her singles status.

By “backlash” do you mean “nobody cares”

It’s funny how you never report the backlash because of the endless shit posts you make. We often criticise you!

'More importantly, she said, it also played on people's concerns about improper use of their data and whether their financial activity was private.' Don't tell her about monzo 😲😲

I'm so single it hurts, and this is funny as fuck. Lighten up people. Life's better when you can laugh at yourself.

To the people who felt the need to create a backlash over this: You OK hun?

And this is for all those technophiles who think a cashless society is the way forward. Cards will trace what you buy, where you go & link you with others. The danger is from governments which will want to spy on its citizens. Globalist Big Brother.

Wouldn't buy from someone who uses the word 'hun' anyway. Not that I'm old fashioned.

whataloadofbollocks oh please 🙄 no wonder they’re single

Great publicity for you RevolutApp

Click save, you’re welcome

People get offended by the strangest things.

The outrage brigade at it again.

Oh look a new outrage.

Isn’t this just a joke 😂 what loser would be offended by it?

Single bloke here.... Not offended. Makes me wonder if snowflakes did self-deprecating humour, would they argue with themselves that they're offended?

Maybe next year they can mock all the couples stuck in bad marriages and bad relationships, or have a spouse cheating on them with a piece on the side....shakes head ruefully

Is anyone actually truly offended or is it more a case of creating a news story to get ppl to respond and get all riled up for no reason?

Let me guess the backlash was a handful of people as with so many of these articles. You only quote one person who complained. News stories out of nothing to stir up outrage. Societies conscience controlled by the few.

I'm still trying to figure out why their card appears to have a set of balls but remains dickless

:)

Get a life sad bar stewards

Big chip alert!! Single so what? Benefits to all predicaments...not having to share your takeaway!

Everything is shaming nowadays. People are too fragile.

Single shaming gan take a piss on a powerline

What backlash?

Is it true the MSM have been given a d notice from the eu...which is a gagging order on the reporting of ten people in France being killed by macrons police?

I remember a time when humour was allowed

For a generation that loves labels it seems this one is too much.

Revolut are an amateur shower of dickheads anyway, they'd want to concentrate on getting their app and bank working consistently and stop blaming '3rd parties' every time they have an outage which is frequently.

I bet those who are outraged by 'single-shaming' have f*ck all to say about FGM

I dont care much for relationships and their silly rituals and the pointless holiday upon the 14th Feb. I can see why people would be offended, but personally it doesn't bother me.

Anyone else remember back in the day when people had a sense of humour without getting offended? Those were the days.

I'm single and not even slightly bothered by this. It's a bit if harmless fun, get over it seriously.

Was there a backlash over M&S doing their Valentines Meals For 2 Deals... JustAskingForTheOutraged WhatsABlogger

🤣🤣🤣 a country with more outrage & indignation than humour........ 🤣🤣🤣 GetOverYourselves

Ohhh jesus snowflake PC brigade. Must be nice sitting all day getting offended by everything without going out the house

Grow up

Utterly. Pathetic. People need to get a life and a sense of humour. I’m single and don’t find this a problem it’s just a cheeky ad ffs! Anyone making a genuine complaint about this needs to really take a long hard look at themselves and maybe get some help.

Single-shaming...

Sounds like: 1. A company lacking diversity (and thus multiple view points to catch such disasters at discussion phase) 2. People in a hard-skin marketing bubble that seldom, if ever, talk to real people.

Too right! Not very nice at all.

I wasn’t alone it was for the girl I have kept under the stairs RevolutApp

I have been the victim of single shaming for too long, I demand compensation

And I'm single but still enjoy a joke!!

Been a few days since the last outrage 😅. Its just a funny ad, no need to get in a fluster about it. Classic SJW antics.

See the snowflakes are out in force, so what some people are single, good for them! Big deal an advert that mentions single people! Some folks need to get a life instead of harping on about the slightest thing they feel upsets them, this is what is wrong in the world!

gotta be offended by something today I guess...

Single shaming...that’s a new one 😂😂

Contender for most counter-productive marketing campaign of all time? 🙈 Translates: 'we're watching & judging you on your spending habits, sheeple' 🐏

Outrage for the sake of outrage... ShakesFistAtTwitter

Why is that shaming?.....I'm thinking lucky sods!!!😂🤣

“Single shaming” good grief.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnndddd THANKS FOR THE EXTRA PUBLICITY single plebs. Love RevolutApp

If you're annoyed by this it's probably why you're single

This is nonsense. I'm single, And I don't care about this ad.
