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.

I was the first person to post a video about Settle Your Scores (easycore, produced by Johnny Franck of Bilmuri and Attack Attack!) and my old label mate went on a huge international tour with Porter Robinson a few years ago, has his own boiler room set. Other label mate had official remixes for Skrillex and is on the League of Legends soundtrack, I got to coin the name of a whole genre, yet I'm not famous and have like zero talent lmao.
I'm constantly out here like "I knew one of the guys who do the Marshmello thing before it blew up, I knew Black Tiger Sex Machine when they were just lawyers, I have a copy of the fucked up track "Death of Baby" by Whales when he went by Sex Whales and we were going to collab, I have a beef with Tyga and one of the brothers of Dada Life, songs I've influenced have literally hundreds of millions of plays"
But because I'M not famous, nobody outside of the friends that were there believe me.
