    This makes me angry at both Funko and the domain registrar.

    YouTube’s noncommunicative takedown process has always been regarded as the best system of any popular video upload site (because there aren’t any others) but for this shit to poison the open web is definitely not okay.

      I’m always angry at funko for being a shit company that sells shit plastic products whose main purpose is to take up shelving space, everytime I’m reminded they exist.

      Iwantmyname is a budget registar so I’m not surprised at their non effort. I’ve used them to help see what domains were available but never actually did business with them and I don’t recommend you do.

        I’ve moved to Cloudflare and they offer at-cost domain registration, and I’ve heard they’ve been good to work with generally speaking.

        They are so fuckin ugly. I don’t like to judge people for their harmless hobbies but if you have a Funko Pop collection…you have bad taste.
