Word 'Labubu' banned from makerworld?

whats the deal on this ?
noticed while uploading a new (original) model that the word “Labubu” is now banned from from model name and description on newly uploaded stuff. still remains on onlder models already online unless they start dishing out the hammer.

This is how it starts, they come for your Labubus. Next thing you know they ban The Rock’s head, then articulated legs. I’m not ready for the civil unrest this is going to cause. I’m grabbing all the potted meat I can carry and retreating to my bunker.

Don’t forget to take some LEGOs with you to keep you entertained in your bunker. :wink:

Instead of “LEGO” people now use different, non-copyrighted term such as “bricks”. Maybe similar thing can be implemented here? So instead of “labubu” it could be “ugly lootbox” or “beanie baby of 21st century” or “that ugly weird thing that’s somehow popular God only knows why” or maybe more realistic: “monster toy”

the fun part is being creative with the description & title in such a way that it still gets found when searched for.
