Meredith, will you or someone else please explain something to me? What did Pattie Gonia think would happen if she sold branded merch? Especially if she tried to trademark the name? I'm not a lawyer. But 1 could have seen the lawsuit coming from miles away if someone tried to trademark that name. If a drag king named themself Dicks Goods, Dicks Sporting Goods would probably sue.
Dicks Goods is a FABULOUS drag king name! And I totally agree that it gets murky when Pattie Gonia starts trying to sell merch and trademark the name for herself. I hope that both parties can find a way to collaborate since they share so many values!
Drag is fun, mocking, biting and meant to make you laugh. In my former gay square dance club, a nerdy computer guy found his true niche as "Lois Carmen Denominator," which still makes me laugh. I cannot understand what people find so threatening about it. If anything, Pattie has probably increased Patagonia's sales. And it isn't their name anyway, but the land's.
