    I’d love to see valve return the dmca with a c&d telling them that all the models and character designs use valve’s creative property and that they can go fuck themselves.

      Garry’s mod uses Valve assets and is published by Valve. Of particular note, it has half life assets in it.

      The skibidi toilet series was made with Source Filmmaker, a video editing software published by Valve, which allows people to use the Source engine, the game engine that half-life 2 used. As SFM was made by Valve, they allowed a bunch of half-life assets to be free in SFM. the original toilet head is an asset from Half-life 2, Male_07, which Garry’s Mod has access to, given it is a valve release and can use valve models.

      They C&D’d Valve for using Valve assets in a Valve game.

        Yeah man I have all of the context, it’s just a very The Onion thing to have happen. I really can’t tell if it’s real or a joke

      I think Earth may have jumped the shark, and aliens will soon cancel this reality tv show

    YouTuber Alexey “DaFuq!?Boom!” Gerasimov, who currently has 43 million subscribers, makes no secret of these inspirations, often crediting Garry’s Mod community assets in the video descriptions. Gerasimov also appeared on the S&box Discord after the DMCA began to circulate in the hope of getting in touch with Newman. “I did NOT strike Garry’s Mod and I’m trying to understand what else is written in the letter!”, he wrote.

    Even dumber lol.
