I had lived in Japan and can speak pretty good Japanese. I can say that this is just straight up wrong. LOL where does one even get this info

Notice there’s no “sorry” in the translation

yup. someone is lying here

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

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?

Sad that comment like this gets upvoted on a post about geniunely good project

Could this be the start of a nouveau French Revolution?

What could be?

You didn’t post any links or context

Bait used to be believable

Could be wrong, but possibly he’s talking about this about “getting instant shit”:

(look also at the reply)

I geniunely can’t understand what you’re trying to say

Perhaps the other reply was right–this comment is what he’s talking about

FYI there is Mbin, the fork of Kbin
