Not sure if this belongs in the general cringe thread or on its own but here we are.

It seems this year's starting off on a fun note with some shit going down between Rearz, AwwSoCute and the rest of the ABDL™ community. I'm not sure on the full timeline here so I'm just writing things down in the order that I found them in and this is a super abridged version.

Earlier tonight, posts were showing up on Tumblr, Reddit, etc, stating that Rearz had filed to trademark the term "ABDL" back in October. After people found this out and the news spread, Rearz posted a statement on their website(image 1). The way I understand their post, it sounds like they're saying they did this to help advertise and sell on mainstream platforms as the acronym "ABDL" was apparently banned. If they could show that they held a trademark on the acronym, it could be used in advertising and product listings. They're saying that they don't have any malicious ideas about suing other companies that use "ABDL" anywhere on their sites and Rearz is a medical supply company turned sex shop so I'm not sure what the fuck they're actually going to do with the trademark but people are drawing a lot of parallels with the Fine Bros. situation a couple years back.

Yesterday, AwwSoCute posted a warm "happy new year" message on their Instagram (Image 2)with an indication that they were going to sue Rearz and LittleForBig and potentially 15 other companies or people in a class action lawsuit in regards to some copyright issue. Ironically the picture they use for this post includes a picture of the castle from DisneyLand.

There are some other details that I'm missing because I don't understand them that well like some other company had filed a trademark even earlier for "The ABDL Shop" which was granted and Rearz is trying to compare their filing to that somehow.

I might just be sperging about this a bit but does anyone else find this dumpster fire of a new year entertaining?

Nobody understands how trademarks work and are just upset that anyone would dare trademark the letters identifying their community.

This sounds like a great idea. I will be the only ABDL writer, and I will sue anyone else that uses ABDL for their stories.

Okay, they should've been upfront about that if true. Obviously people would be upset without that context. But really, why bother? Adult Baby Diaper Lover is a pretty stupid acronym to begin with. They could be more clever with their advertising instead of using this shit.

>AwwSoCute posted a warm "happy new year" message on their Instagram (Image 2)with an indication that they were going to sue Rearz and LittleForBig and potentially 15 other companies or people in a class action lawsuit in regards to some copyright issue

It's clear to me that these companies are not making enough money and are all pissed because there's so many other companies. We need to be pointed and show them we don't give a shit and this behavior isn't okay.


 No.48160

Nothing better than to begin a new year with some shit flinging and a full diaper.

I never really liked the term ABDL anyway, but it's only one of the few ways to find content. If the acronym ABDL gets trademarked, just change it to DLAB, this actually sounds better.

>>48151 (OP)

I saw some thread on reddit calling for a boycott, and while I agree this is kind of scummy, Rearz has the best selection and delivery options for me so I'm not going to stop buying from them any time soon. Personally, I'm not forfeiting the enjoyment of my fetish for some trademark squabble.


 No.48166>>48168 >>48208

The entire ABDL community over the past year has really gone to shit (pardon the pun). Fetlife has become a cesspool of bitching and moaning and seeing who the biggest victim is, and it seems everywhere else is much the same.

Honestly, if the members of this community actually used "muh feelings" more to better the world or you know, work something better than a fucking min. wage job maybe the world would be a better place. Always seem the ABDL groups need a witch hunt/someone to chase with pitch forks as of late…


 No.48167>>48177

>>48151 (OP)

God I fucking hate having this fetish.

I'm pretty sure this is going to go just like when Colt tried to trademark "AR15"/"M4", attempting to sue Bushmaster, and getting anally annihilated when the courts basically said, "lol no, eat shit" because the term was used to the point of being generic.


 No.48168>>48171

I've only bought from Rearz once before and it wasn't worth it for me. Their diapers were too expensive when shipping was factored in. I'm lucky and ABU is close to me so I can get their diapers pretty fast with their cheapest shipping. There are tons of med supply stores in my city that stock M4s as well which are pretty good as far as medical diapers go.

>>48166

Everyone's gotta have a cause to fight for I guess.


 No.48171

>>48168

Free shipping on orders over $70 in Canada, plus they're relatively close to me and have great selection. I'm not saying not to boycott them, just that personally I don't know anywhere else as good.


 No.48172>>48178

No way in hell.If the term is banned from advertising on that platform, it's probably because they ban advertising fetish and sex materials.

Trying to trademark an entire community that's existed far before the internet, let alone them, so they can try and skirt advertising rules doesn't make them sound any better.

Those platforms probably also ban BDSM.


 No.48177

>>48167

And hopefully that will happen here because the acronym has zero significance to any product let alone a brand.


 No.48178>>48185 >>48197

This. The only way to get around this is to deny the fetish aspect all together. No way in hell is trademarking ABDL going to get around an anti-sex toy policy. Google ads and others are not stupid but you could get away with it if they just advertised as incontinence and costume wear.


 No.48181>>48183

Ha! Now Reddit thinks that Rearz is gonna sue everyone. This honestly is just getting better everyday.

Is there any reason to assume otherwise? The advertising excuse is retarded but then again I wouldn't be surprised if they were retarded enough to think that would work.

This. Also one big factor is what the poster of diaper pics to social media looks like. If it's a fat creepy kissless virgin with autism, fedora and no job, of course images will be removed. But a qt girl, who says to be asexual feminist helicopter, her "non-sexual" diaper pics wont be remove :)

This is blatant patent trolling and the judge would probably throw out the case. Getting around advertising is probably mostly an alibi and what the really want is to extract royalties from other companies

it's worse if its for things like google ad sense. I don't want to see adverts for rearz diapers if I log in somewhere without ad block.


 No.48200

this shit is hilarious, especially the retards who are attempting to defend Rearz. Wearing Clouds is one example. he just keeps digging the hole deeper by calling people assholes and stuff.

i'm curious how this will play out. i want to see if ASC will actually file suits against companies and if Rearz will get the trademark(though I know the chances are slim).


 No.48203

>>48151 (OP)

jesus christ I was wondering why none of these companies were in stock (Tykables, The ABDL Shop).. guess they're too busy whining and infighting to make a goddamn product.


 No.48205

You can't advertise this shit outside of the community anyway. I don't know what the point would be to get onto adsense or whatever. This is a fetish and the people who would buy these fetish products are already online places that do have the ABDL adverts and discussion. You might be able to trick boomers or other dummies into buying the premium incontinence wear that ABDL diapers are but you're not going to get normies into this shit. The only thing that you could do is sell footies and maybe even onsies to normalfags as just novelty clothing. It's just so pointless to have this very niche market and trying to advertise outside of it. It's like trying to advertise gunpla models. The people into gunpla know what's going on and don't even need to be bothered about it. It's a niche thing with very niche appeal. If you're not an autist who's into building models of humanoid Japanese war machines then you're not going to give a shit about them. And if you are an autist who's into building models of humanoid Japanese war machines you already know everything about them and someone just getting into the scene will find their way there eventually. Same with diapers. When a new diaper comes out it's news among diaperfags and we either buy it or we don't. People ask what diaper someone's wearing, they give advice and opinions. Like, you can't make people who are already interested in something get more interested unless there's a sale or some shit.

>>48197

Good point. That would really fuck over a lot of people who use Chrome or Facebook or Amazon, things that really hardcore track your interests. I mean when i used FB i would get ads for incontinence stuff and would probably still see them if i didn't use adblock.

ASC can go fuck itself usually I don’t care what goes on with these companies as long as there’s a good brand to put on my ass at night, but that’s exactly the issue with ASC. Not only do they only sell cases on their website, but when you order a bag it’s obvious as fuck that you ordered diapers. I’d much rather have Rearz have the monopoly over ASC because at least rearz has a variety of stores to buy from and ships their diapers in boxes instead of a bag the exact same shape of the package. Thankfully my roommates weren’t around at the time, but it’s very likely that the people at the front desk of my former apartment know my fetish because of those fucks. Not to mention that nearly half of the cost of a bag is the shipping. The diapers themselves are good but why would I go to the trouble of getting ASC’s diapers when there are diapers just as good from other companies without these issues?


 No.48229>>48231 >>48233

>>48222

Granted, I've never been to an ASC store, but I've been to the Rearz store a couple times now. The people are very friendly, answer any and all questions that you have about the products, and even gave me some free shit the last few times I've been there.

I get that some people think what they're trying to do with the trademark is shitty, but I really don't think they did it with incredibly shitty practices in mind; they seem like a pretty decent company.

Granted, that all comes from personal experience, but w/e. I like their diapers, and they have great prices in store all the time, so I'm not buying into the drama and boycotting them.


 No.48231>>48262

>>48229

As I said I really don’t care about the trademark worst case scenario with that is a few companies have to make some adjustments with their branding. I just don’t want so many of the good brands to shut down just because of one terrible brand. I mean the Amazon review for these diapers said it came in a discreet package which is complete bullshit anyone who picks it up could tell what it was(thankfully the people at my former apartment were professional about it but still you’d think discreetly packaging what is for many customers their biggest secret would be top priority). I just hope Rearz and the other companies come out of the suit alright. I could make due with abenas and molicares but still there’s no doubt that fetish diapers are even softer than those

This is exactly why you need to tell them to fuck themselves when they do something like this. When you like a company and think they're doing a good job, that's exactly when you need to make this clear. You don't just blindly accept whatever mistakes they make.

I honestly haven't got a fucking clue. I haven't figured out of they are tied into the trademark bullshit, or if them saying they are going to sue companies is a completely separate drama that is unfolding.

Their tweet was vague as fuck, so who knows.

Regarding the trademark bullshit and /r/abdl having a cow: I liked how /u/dannytheninja started a thread and his first thought was to mention his background, then state that he feels his name is trusted in the ABDL community and blah blah blah, thus what he says carries weight.

Like, patting yourself on the back much, dude?

Probably because they know they’ll fail if they don’t shut down some of the competition. I go into pretty thorough detail on how they’re one of the worst if not the worst ABDL brands out there in >>48222 and >>48231 anyone can make a good diaper but if you want to be a brand that lasts you’ve got to put out more for the customer as far as service is concerned.

Well that's one mystery solved, but I'm not sure ASC threatening legal action against Rearz had anything to do with this as the Insta post said it was about copyright, not trademark. Their post also implies more people besides Rearz are targets. Apparently LittleForBig was called out in the post and they edited it to only say Rearz.
