Considering all of the awful words spewed out on the Internet on a second-by-second basis, comparing someone to a nerdy character like Doraemon protagonist Nobita seems about as harmless as it gets.

Amazingly, this seemingly innocuous ribbing prompted the Barcelona FC president to file a report with the police. According to the complaint, AuronPlay was reported “for uttering comments against Barcelona, the player (Neymar) and the president.”
The Neymar comments were mostly just memes that surfaced when the player left Barcelona FC and signed with Paris Saint-Germain, which threw down a whopping €222 million to activate Neymar’s buyout clause. As for calling Bartomeu Nobita? Well, you be the judge:
