I just wanted a hot dog Apperantly A24 suddenly thinks they own all of the backrooms.

Many people have been reporting copyright strikes for backrooms fan games, textures, and other references on Google play, Twitter and other spaces. Apparently the company thinks if they make a movie that suddenly they own the source material that existed years before the movie was even conceptualized. For an idea of how ridiculous this is, it's like saying James Cameron owns the Titanic and every survivor's story because of the movie he made.

With how shitty the world is becoming at what point is it enough, it's literally 1984, can't have shit anymore, even decades old community internet creepypastas apparently.

Same. Then I started trading gore stories with him from my something awful days. Looking back, like why do they do that?! That driving school closed during covid, so there is that.
