VeryDarkMan (VDM) has addressed claims that Blord has legally trademarked “Ratel,” saying that true ownership is about originality, not paperwork.
“Being the ratel goes beyond trademark, son. There can only be one ratel. Only the person with the real ratel is the ratel. There’s only one ratel,” VDM said while interacting with a live ratel, using the animal’s uniqueness as a metaphor for his brand.
His remarks come amid online debates about the commercialization and registration of personal and cultural trademarks.
VDM stressed that genuine spirit and originality hold more weight than formal legal recognition for certain identities.
Social media reactions were mixed: some fans praised his focus on authenticity, while others questioned how his stance fits within intellectual property laws.
