Who Issued the Skibidi Toilet DMCA Notice to Garry's Mod?

Source of DMCA Remains Unclear: DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives?

Newman's initial reaction, shared on a Discord server, expressed disbelief ("Can you believe the cheek?"). The subsequent online attention highlighted the situation, and Newman has since announced a resolution. However, the specific entity behind the DMCA remains undisclosed.

The notice targeted user-created content within Garry's Mod, a Valve-published sandbox game (2006). The sender claimed that unauthorized Skibidi Toilet-themed Garry's Mod creations generated significant revenue and infringed upon copyrights associated with characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man.
