Brand Tone

provocative, rebellious, defiant, and overtly political, with a strong inclination towards controversial and what many would consider offensive and hateful rhetoric.

Brand Values

• •Provocation/Controversy: Deliberately using shocking and offensive themes.
• •"Resistance" (self-defined): Positioning itself against perceived oppression or a mainstream narrative, albeit through highly controversial means.
• •"Free Speech" (self-defined): Claiming the right to express any views, no matter how offensive or historically inaccurate.
• •Exclusivity/Identity: Cultivating a sense of belonging for a specific in-group that shares its extreme views ("Bad Goys Club").
• •Anti-Establishment (perverted): A distorted and hateful form of anti-establishment sentiment.

Best Practices

• •Define Your Core Message & Enemy Clearly: Understand what you're "resisting" or "challenging" and who your "they" is. Ensure all copy reinforces this central conflict or stance.
• •Use Consistent Provocative Language & Symbolism: If the brand relies on specific controversial terms, symbols, or historical reinterpretations, these should be woven (consistently, if ethically questionable) into the copy.
• •Maintain an "Us vs. Them" Mentality: Foster a sense of in-group solidarity and out-group opposition. Copy should speak directly to the "club" and alienate or challenge outsiders.
• •Embrace a Defiant and Unapologetic Voice: Avoid conciliatory language. The tone should be confident, assertive, and refuse to apologize for its stance, even if controversial.
• •Prioritize Statement Over Subtlety: Given the brand's overt messaging ("Speak Without Speaking," "Make A Statement"), copywriting should be direct and impactful, leaving little room for misinterpretation of its intended provocative message.

Social Perception

The perception of Bad Goys Club is extremely divided and largely negative due to its association with antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
