Mystery afoot as Garry's Mod gets hit by Skibi-DMCA apparently on behalf of Michael Bay's Skibidi Toilet film studio: 'Can you believe the cheek?'

A grinning head in a toilet.

In what you might charitably call an audacious legal move, Garry Newman—he of Garry's Mod fame—says he's been served with a DMCA over none other than Skibidi Toilet, the intensely baffling Generation Alpha meme consisting of a Half-Life 2 character's head beatboxing in a toilet. It was originally made in Garry's Mod and is also in talks to become a Michael Bay movie. This is the world we live in and we're just going to have to accept that, you and me.

Newman revealed the DMCA request in a post on the S&box Discord channel, posting a screenshot in which someone claiming to act on behalf of the Michael Bay-run film studio Invisible Narratives (the one attached to the Skibidi Toilet cinematic universe) accuses Garry's Mod of misusing copyrighted Skibidi Toilet characters like "Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, Titan TV man, and Skibidi Toilet." Driving the point home, the request says that "There is absolutely no licensed Steam, Valve, Garry's Mod content related to Skibidi Toilet."
