      If it's the thread I'm thinking of they're complaining about IP. They modelled some coat hanger to sell and a chinese factory started mass producing them. Then a bunch of people jumped in with their own Chinese IP woes, real or imagined.

        One thing I’ve noticed about these kinds of situations on the internet is people tend to over estimate their originality and/or how big they even are (usually not more than a blip) in the market

        Had a friend do the custom clothes version of this with a cricuit and other machines to make anime clothes and they got harassed online by another team for “stealing” the idea of putting anime characters on skirts and stuff lol

        I’m sure there’s a chance a Chinese manufacturer repurposed some design of at least one of these people but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were mostly just butting up against the reality that a lot of people convergently arrive at the same idea sometimes

      Its funny to see Americans pivot to India, just as the Indian neoliberal government is buckling under the strain of domestic neoliberalism.

      How long until a Pink Tide consumes India like it has consumed Latin America? And where will Americans flee to next? Nigeria, perhaps? Or Indonesia? Or will we go hat-in-hand back to China, again?
