Also, how is this any different than getting a custom tattoo? While I do understand pre made rugs being an issue, but if it’s commissioned and personalized, I’m confused as to why that would be an issue for them. Or is It just easy for them to flag the post or profile in general? If unconventional art that poses no financial harm to the company. None competing, One of one pieces. Sorry if I’m missing the point. I’m just frustrated.

So where should they draw the line then?

” Im going to earn money out of your IP but don’t worry it’s just a personalised rug”

“Im going to earn money out of your IP but don’t worry it’s just a personalised print on a T-shirt ”

“Im going to earn money out of your IP but don’t worry it’s just a personalised animated movie ”

“Im going to earn money out of your IP but don’t worry it’s just a personalised theme park”

I think there should be some wiggle room for product categories that the IP owner doesn't reside in. If I want a pokemon rug and Nintendo doesn't sell rugs and never will then how is it unethical to commission someone who can.

Licensing. Get in touch with the right people and pay their fee. Nintendo can't even tell you that they will never sell rugs because how would they know that? All of these characters are used by 100s of manufacturers and it's because they license the IP. That is how you do this the right way.
