I am so confused by all this. It makes me feel old.
Funko is essentialy just plastic, shitty Beanie Babies, right? They do nothing original, from what I can tell.

MODERATORS
At united health care we really respect all the money we extract from all your dying folks and recently we noticed that one of you died one of us. So we started a manhunt for anyone of you and now we got a rando who sort of looks the part. Thank you for the inconvenience. We will be ghosts now since you won't find any of our names online starting now...wait not, starting now!
We just need more Luigi
Come on, man.
I support reigning in corrupt oligarchs (full asset seizure, 20 years mandatory community service as a live-in junior janitor in a hospice care facility) as much as the next person, but this is stupid.
Uh no, this was annoying but none of the companies involved deny care for sick people which increases their chance to die.
wait bowser is back? motherfucker never learns
What's to say that this wasn't just a combination of stupid actions?
Someone makes a report with the wrong category. Someone takes a way over-the-top action in response to the report.
There are a lot of idiots with a lot of power who do things without thinking them through.
combination of stupid actions
IT was certainly a combination of stupid actions. But about the time the called his mother, it got kinda personal.
meanwhile...
That is actually just disgusting.
Straight outta the scummy debt collector playbook

So, how much is Funko or their "partner" going to willingly pay Itch for their lost income? Or is there going to have to be a lawsuit?
Itch doesn't appear interested in suing unfortunately. I want them to, not because I'm bloodthirsty, but to set precedent that this wreckless use of AI content moderation isn't OK. I can imagine Disney and Nintendo following this.
They really should because the law has already decided that AI isn't an independent entity, and is essentially just a computer program.
So whoever initiated the AI is ultimately responsible for its behavior, they can't claim the AI malfunctioned because they chose not to bother having any human oversight, they knew that this was always a possibility and still they took responsibility for it.

Either Funko is lying or their "brand protection partner" is lying. Also, what the fuck does Funko have to protect? The only thing they actually created was those beady little eyes they put on everyone else's IP.

Funko and their "partner" should be fined for fraud.
Funko should shut down out of embarrassment. Not about this specifically, just because of their entire product line

It would be a real shame if [email protected] (the domain registrar of brandshield.com) were to get a bunch of reports about scams and illegal activity found on the website. Bonus points for copying [email protected].
Make sure to link their actual site to since those all exist as redirect pages:
https://www.domainthenet.com/en/
This registrar is such hot garbage that it stinks of just one individual or group controlling the whole thing from the registrar level to the few domains they provide. Their contact form page won't even load for me.
continues to poke around
Oh what do you know, the registrar and "BrandShield" are run by the same guy

Sounds like the reports should go directly to ICANN for ignoring reports about domains on their registration list
Edit:
I would be remiss if I didn't include the other founders
https://www.crunchbase.com/person/yoav-keren
https://www.crunchbase.com/person/yuval-zantkeren
Who, again, all founded "Brandshield" at the same time they bought the rights from ICANN to make their own registrar, which appears to purely operate as a byproduct of "Brandshield"
