So you really believe that the executives at Sony and Marvel, the international multimedia conglomerate known for their 15+ year long term carefully planned movie universe, was able to draft up a contract and approve a decision that allowed another third party company from a completely different cultural background who has never worked with Sony or these characters before to have free reign over their most profitable license? And also that company was able to have brand new art designs complete with fully functional 3D models in addition to passing a global, multi-corporation approval process?

I don't believe it. 10 years of forsight is the most basic and standard approach for these guys. The current Marvel empire was founded on planning ahead.

Iirc, Tokon was their super secret project they had been hinting at for the past ~10 years. This result is likely more cuz Strive wasn't supposed to live for 6 seasons and a movie, but here we are.

Is Joe Biden in the room with us right now?

Personally I'm more afraid of The General Geico, but they're all from the same circle of hell so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Don't be an anti-semantic grammar nazi, use 'engage in' not 'commit'. This isn't a code repository.

Friendly reminder that Korea invented and perfected micro-transactions. MapleStory has done more damage to both worldwide gaming and Korean game devs than anything else could ever hope to.

There are several permanent modifications made to the mold of the doll that separate it from non-diabetic dolls; and insulin pump and glucose monitor are depicted and they don't appear to be easily detachable.

I believe he could be the stoner of legend, that he is the one who will finally bring balance to the clouds with the perfect THC/CBD ratio.

It's worse. This is like the restaurant across the street, a company that is completely unaffiliated with me and even my industry, is now running a lunch promotion that includes advertising something for my business which I did not approve and do not sell.

If a human being did this, it would be so unbelievably grossly obviously illegal it wouldn't even have to go to court. It's obvious and blatant fraud. Lying on this level is like so unbelievably blasphemous I would go so far as to say that this is uncivilized wild animal behavior that far precedes modern copyright/property laws, having been frowned upon in almost every society since the dawn of civilization.

Yes, I agree. One person spending money to purchase a domain and then using that leverage to claim the definition of something being European is because they personally like them is precisely how Hitler got started.

I think that you're making an absurd and unfair comparison about users of Lemmy, and I don't think that you comparing the actions of users on Lemmy to the rise of the Nazi party is going to help OP build a better community about eurographicnovels; which ultimately is the goal of this thread.

I have spoken my piece in support of disallowing such content, vitriol included for emphasis. Now, what is your feedback about OP allowing American Webcomics on a European Graphic Novel community?
