Funko calling Itch.io's mom is the new "I want to speak with the manager"
Funko went full Karen, or even better, Karen-ing will be referred as Funko-ing from now on

Wow. #Funko / #FunkoPop, #BrandShield, and #IwantMyName must apologize publicly to #ItchIO and the many #gamedevs and #indie #game developers.
This should serve as a lesson for everyone.

WTF. The indie game website itch.io site has been taken down by #Funko because of some bogus #AI brand protection report. This could happen to anyone. AI is literally destroying peoples income.

So, *chew* do you need more *chew* proofs that using AI for everything is a *chew* dumb move?
For anyone wondering why @itchio is not available at the moment....
So, time to boycott #Funko / #BrandShield / #iwantmyname now, yeah?
