Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This wouldn't be "defending it" like a copyright claim. This would be suing for damages. It doesn't matter how much they care about the brand. They'd sue to get money based on a loss of potential sales (future and present) and any other harm done.
I could see them not wanting to rock the boat, but I don't think it's a smart play. They'll go down either way if the Fascists want, and they clearly don't care about them enough to not damage them.
