Woman trademarks hate group's name to troll them with glitter and unicorns

A Finnish woman is using two of the world’s most powerful forces — unicorns and glitter — to stop a racist right-wing hate group.

Riikka Yrttiaho trademarked the group’s name, Soldiers of Odin, back in February and now plans to turn their drab Viking-inspired logo into a sparkly statement.

“There [will] be no lack of unicorns and glitter,” she boasted to the Yle public broadcaster in Finland.

“We want to spread the message of love and acceptance.”

Soldiers of Odin was founded in Finland last year as a neighborhood-watch group created in response to the influx of immigrants.

The group denies being racist or harboring neo-Nazi beliefs, but social media posts paint a different picture.

One member posted a photo of a black child in a container that was captioned “bucketful of shit.” Another shows female members mimicking the Hitler salute.

Yrttiaho and her pals from the Left Alliance party are already working on re-purposing the logo, which features a man’s face peering out of a Viking helmet,

“We decided that a name can be used for good or bad,” she said. “If they can register a racist street patrol in Finland, what can stop us from registering something harmless and a bit more amusing.”

The Soldiers of Odin have taken well to threats to their name in the past. In February, the group warned of legal action against a parody crew calling themselves the LOLdiers of Odin.

“Names that can be equated with us cannot be used because we are a registered association. For example, Soldiers of Odin is too close and according to our lawyer we can take you to court,” one of the founding members, Mika Matias Ranta, posted on Facebook. “Post a message that you will change your name to something that cannot be associated with us or we’ll see you in court.”

Ranta was convicted of attacking two immigrant in 2005.
