If you are my parents, how do you tell the difference between a deer pendant and an "unlicensed Bambi pendant"? It's like half the size of a penny, not much room for detail. It's not as if my parents intentionally knowingly did so, they genuinely thought it was a deer, not a Bambi, and the point is that there isn't really a way, that's the craziness of it. It's not like a sports jersey where it's clearly being done intentionally. What, are we going to say that any taxidermy deer is a knock off of Bambi now? Any sculpture of a lions is from the lion king?

Bambi has a very distinctive look. If you put a dozen tiny deer pendants in front of me I could pick out which ones were Disney's Bambi and which weren't.

  Not in this case, the pendant was a deer pendant not a Bambi pendant (why I chose the words I did). I love how you automatically choose to trust a random suit from a giant company and not an individual from a small mom and pop business that's literally closed and has nothing to gain.

    In my experience small mom and pop businesses are no more trustworthy than giant companies.

      Ok, you don't trust big businesses, you don't trust small businesses and mom and pop type small town stuff. I think that's everyone. You don't trust anyone. In this case, I can assure you my parents were on the up and up. You don't run a small business in the same place in a community for 35 years by cheating and being dishonest or selling knockoff goods. Unfortunately my father got to the point where he couldn't work anymore during the pandemic and we had to shutter our beloved family business of almost 40 years. Thanks for randomly throwing shade on my families business, our heritage, with no basis or motive at all.
