Perhaps it comes naturally ;)

No, but seriously, you may be giving them a bit too much benefit of the doubt.

There's a little more context here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42364033

Note the "fraud and phishing" complaint. Like, I don't see _any_ way to get to that from what's going on, and of course registrars (correctly) take such complaints far more seriously than DMCA complaints (which shouldn't really be going to the registrar in the first instance, of course).

I wouldn't particularly blame the registrar here, though now that 'AI' spamware is doing this, registrars will presumably have to take fraud complaints a lot less seriously, and the internet will get a little bit worse. But certainly this isn't itch.io's fault; the blame lies squarely with the spamware, and with Funko for using such spamware in the first place.
