Skibidi Toilet DMCA Quickly \"Resolved\" After Viral Backlash

The viral Skibidi Toilet phenomenon recently caused a bizarre DMCA kerfuffle involving Garry's Mod. Fortunately, the situation appears resolved, according to game developer Garry Newman.

Which Skibidi Toilet Entity Issued the DMCA?

The identity of the party who sent the DMCA remains undisclosed, though it's speculated to be either DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives.

Garry Newman, creator of Garry's Mod, confirmed to IGN that he received a DMCA takedown notice late last year. The notice targeted user-created Garry's Mod content featuring Skibidi Toilet characters (like Titan Cameraman, Speakerman, and TV Man), claiming copyright infringement and significant revenue loss. Newman, initially expressing disbelief ("Can you believe the cheek?"), publicly shared his experience, sparking a viral online discussion. He subsequently announced the matter is now resolved.

The DMCA targeted unauthorized Skibidi Toilet-themed Garry's Mod creations, which, according to the sender, generated substantial revenue. The sender claimed ownership of the copyrighted characters. While the conflict is seemingly settled, the precise source of the DMCA remains unconfirmed.
