Funko doesn't handle these takedown requests, they hired BrandShield for this. BrandShield definitely went overboard and their reputation is at risk.
I've shopped around for brand protection in the past when scammers registered a domain name with my company's name in it, and used it to do fake job offers. We got the domain suspended by contacting the registrar, but we didn't know about it until it was reported to us.
They were hired specifically to go overboard and risk reputation. To shield brand from reputational damage of scorching internet. It's even in their name.
Tsar is good, blame the boyars.
The factory didn’t beat up the strikers. The Pinkertons did it. Don’t hate the factory owner who hired them to beat up the striking workers.
No, Funko's reputation is at risk, as it should be.
Other companies should look at the situation and cease using BrandShield, but from a consumer standpoint, the blame falls squarely on Funko.
We just need more Luigi

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.
community notes is the best thing post-musk twitter ever did and i hope the idea spreads to other platforms
It's a matter of time before he sacks it. Kinda surprised he hasn't already.
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.
