There are lots of finger-pointing here. Funko said the takedown was done by their partner, BrandShield. BrandShield said it was a URL-specific (or is it subdomain?) takedown, not the whole domain. The registrar, Iwantmyname, responded said takedown by taking down the WHOLE domain.
I think Funko shouldn't have trusted AI to do legal-related stuff. BrandShield is a stupid idea born from the AI-hype. It's stupid and shouldn't have existed. Iwantmyname is just as incompetent if not more--they haven't even released any public statement about this. Their customer support are also slow to response apparently.
Itch.io should move domain registrar. Funko should stop using BrandShield, it only damages their brand more.
Also what's up with Funko calling someone's mom lol. that's stupid
I also think that this is why AI won't replace our jobs. I've seen many instances where technologies replaces jobs, but this ain't it
Funko: "Yo mama so fat"
Has Funko, BrandShield, and the registrar released any statements yet?
This is unprofessionalism on MANY many parts
the domain registrar never responded, what a fucking joke. time to switch
What the fuck, I assumed that this issue is resolved by now but turns out itch.io is still can't be accessed
Can someone explain? How does Funko have such ability?
Actual funny meme? In my fediverse app?

The USDefaultism is already strong back in reddit, but sadly it seems to be worse on Lemmy. Tired of seeing folks from US acting like they're the main characters, kinda puts me off using this platform
A screenshot would be nice
