Fake Satanic Temple sues WB and Netflix for $50M


They are fake because they don't even believe in Satan or God. Just a bunch of butt hurt Marxist SJWs.

You can't copyright Baphomet, it's public domain. Compare the 19th century image to their web site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet#/media/File:Baphomet.png

Baphomet (/ˈbæfoʊmɛt/;[citation needed] from Medieval Latin Baphometh, Baffometi, Occitan Bafometz) is a deity that the Knights Templar were falsely accused of worshipping and that subsequently was incorporated into disparate occult and mystical traditions.

Hope they get to pay the studios' huge legal costs! Wikipedia:

The Satanic Temple is a nontheistic religious and political activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts.[1][2][3][4] The Temple has several chapter groups, the largest of which is in Detroit, Michigan.[5] The group uses Satanic imagery to promote egalitarianism, social justice and the separation of church and state. Their stated mission is "to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people". The group was co-founded by Lucien Greaves, the organization's spokesperson, and Malcolm Jarry.[6] The Satanic Temple has utilized satire, theatrical ploys, humor and direct legal action in their public campaigns to generate attention and prompt people to reevaluate fears and perceptions, and to highlight religious hypocrisy and encroachment on religious freedom.[7][8][9]

While most mortals are obsessed with politics with week, The Satanic Temple is more focused on Baphomet, an androgynous goat-headed deity. The outraged outfit has followed up on threats with a $50 million lawsuit over Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, alleging the series has infringed copyright and defamed its deity by featuring imagery in an unflattering light.

So ... they're claiming to be Satan's copyright holders in the mortal realm, or something? This sounds like more of a PR stunt to draw attention to their group than a serious lawsuit they intend (or expect) to win.
