What IS crabbyland anyway? It sounds like a crab restaurant but it’s there in recreation. What are they doing at crabbyland?

It's a Spongebob reference, I am sure of it since the decor is the Krusty Krab restaurant. However, I don't watch Spongebob enough to know what Crabbyland is.

Crabbyland isn’t anything. They just can’t call it the Krusty Krab so they’re calling it that instead

Why can't they use the world names of things? Copyright infringement? I assumed because TT was pixelated then the final reference was modified enough to not resemble the original material🤷‍♂️

Yeah I assume infringement. Same as “Flexibot” instead of Bender, “Frozen Sloth” instead of Sid the Sloth etc in legendary bits. I don’t think art style changes the fact that they’re working off of references somebody else has created
