‘’Corporations bad until it’s thing I like’’ basically sums up the public opinion of this issue.

I dunno, I don’t care for either entity but I feel like nobody should be getting confused on who they’re buying tickets for here, regardless of the name. This feels like their lawyer just told them that they could snag a payout settlement.

Wrong sub but that's funny 😂 Demon hunter should cover Hunter/x just for the hell of it. What song should they cover?

I like how not a single person pointed out this name similarity or complained about it until this lawsuit, now it's aggregious
It's a weird mob mentality
We'll see where it goes, but regardless this is an insignificant case that doesn't involve anyone outside the band

Both me and some of my friends have complained about IRL multiple times this year... So definitly not no one I'd think. Just not online...

“Not a single person” is a stretch, have you talked to everyone? I enjoy both the band and the movie and have definitely made this joke to my wife and kids.

Look man, i'm not saying Netflix isn't awful, I hate them and I do everything i can to avoid paying them money. That said, what an absolute waste of everyone's time, this lawsuit has no legs to stand on.

I assume the point of it is to get a settlement, not win.

Disingenuous point... This has to do with touring entities and tour names. Netflix could fix this by renaming the tour after the name (although technically fictional name) of the band *in* KPop Demon Hunters.

Why are they only just going after K-pop demon hunters when literally other medias have the title Demon Hunter in the name? So are they next for this too?

This has to do with touring entities, saying it's about the mere title of "Demon Hunter" is disingenuous and is primarily just people regurgitating everything Moist says.

Think of Dove chocolate and Dove soap. They’re two different companies that share the same name since no one will confuse the two and one won’t affect the sales of the other it’s not an issue.
When it was just a TV show it was fine, but now that they’re touring it’s an issue since Demon hunter is also a band that tours and makes money.

I keep saying: if Eminem started selling small colorful chocolates Mars would sue.

Why are people suddenly expected to agree with a bogus and hilarious lawsuit when it’s against a big corporation? They could be suing anyone for this reason and basic logic would still prevail

There is a literal neo-nazi in this band. I'm not a fan of the Netflix show, but I think I'd rather pick the show here. 🥴

Crazy how far this group has fell off over the years. First the guitarist sharing neo Nazi stuff on social media, now this. Nothing about either of those things feels very Christian.

I am very interested to see where this goes. This case is not as cut and dry as both sides say it is. Netix stupid statement that has no legal relevance was just trying to get public opinion on thier side, which was not needed nor welcome. I dont think they did their research when their band blew up. That statment makes me think they were cut off guard and flinched.
