    Lmao I’m not surprised that a wallstreetbets mod thought a subreddit’s name is a trademark.

    I moderated the /r/amc sub that was utterly inundated with WSB dipshits that couldn’t read a sidebar to save their lives. Fuck everything about WSB and this asshat. Hopefully they get him to pay their legal expenses and maybe get to kick him in the nuts.
