I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    I mean, it sounds like a lawsuit to me.

    1. A takedown request was issued on false grounds.

    2. This takedown was then actioned without any due process.

    3. The issue has caused tangible, and measurable, loss (calculable from prior sales records).

    Honestly, there needs to be a fixed penalty fine for bad takedowns…

    I’ve always hated funkopops, they’re ugly and the very epitome of the enshitification and commercialisation of geek culture. This does nothing to change my mind

      My mom got me my first one in 2019 or 2020 because she thought it was cute (Guyfolye from Silicon Valley). A few months later she asked me if they were just Beanie Babies and I thought that was the end of it. Now every Christmas I get one even though she knows I don’t like them and we both snark on the super niche weird ones. She even got custom ones for me and my wife last year. It never ends, and I have 6 sets of beady little eyes staring at me when I’m watching TV in the basement.

    Not only is this absolutely inexcusable, also, Funko Pops are ugly and creepy-looking and I don’t understand why people spend so much money on them just because they look vaguely like the characters or people they’re supposed to represent.

    God I hate our whole system.

      Funko pops are for people that lack a personality and try to create one by buying dumb shit that sits on a shelf and depreciates in value. They’re just memecoin bros
