Some people are looking past the partner or putting "partner" in quotes.

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.
