It kinda sucks for them that their name is associated with dystopic rape, murder, and slavery, nowadays.

    I don't know how you don't change your name if that's your company. It's not their fault but yeesh. (ESPECIALLY with the US trending so hard in that very direction right now.)

    I mean, I doubt people tend to buy medication based on the name of the company making it, so do they really have much incentive to change it?

    I wouldn't want my company associated whatsoever with Gilead from HMT, even by name only, but there's an argument to be made that ten years ago those connotations didn't exist, and ten years from now they likely won't since it will have faded from pop culture.
