I see literally nothing but memes and tweet screenshots. An overview of what happened would really help fill me in

  • Funko (of Funko Pops) bought an AI tool to search out brand infringement
  • AI files a claim against Itch.io
  • Itch’s registrar decides to Leeroy Jenkins it and takes down Itch’s domain without bothering to clarify or validate

This lacks the small detail of the funko scum making a threatening phone call to the itch.io guy's mother. Sounds like a bad joke, but it is real.
