On TFW, the topic of "KO's" came up. Someone asked about Mirage.

The thread spun into a "KO's are terrible for the scene" type of debate.

I get my 2 cents in, saying basically that "KO's are items that Takara would have done 100X over if they could." 2 members keep defending their stance stating that "if you buy a KO, you're participating in illegal activity"

I bring up the beloved "reprolabels.com". These guys make reproduction G1 sticker sheets. They're supporters of TFW and fan favorites. Their products contain autobot and decepticon symbols ... both registered trademarks to Hasbro. They retail and profit from using another companies trademarks without consent.

Nobody could even say anything that defended their point of view and protect Reprolabels.




Long story short, "fandom" is filled with nutjobs.
