*** ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' also parodies this by having [[Shinichi Watanabe]] force Koshi to authorize making an episode out of an earlier porn doujin of his.
** ''[[Koharu Biyori]]''{{'}}s omake at the end of volume 1 features the guy unsuspectingly buying hentai featuring himself with his robot maid because his friend couldn't make it to the con and asked him to load up. He never actually reads it, but his robot girl maid does.
** [[Kyoto Animation]] lampshaded the practice with a [[Shout-Out]] to one of their other works. An episode of ''[[Lucky Star]]'' had the girls going to [[Comiket]], a real-life [[Doujinshi]] convention, with Konata marking all the tables she wanted to see. In the real Comiket of that year, [https://web.archive.org/web/20121230092822/http://www.alafista.com/2007/07/01/konata-comiket-list/ all those tables] sold ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' [[Hentai]]. What's even worse is that she recruited her friends to pick up these doujinshi for her, including titles such as ''Dripping Brigade Chief''.
*** This is [[Hilarious in Hindsight|only funnier]] when you remember that [[Aya Hirano|who]], the voice actress of Haruhi, also [[Actor Allusion|voices Konata]] which is Aya Hirano.
** Rei Hiroe, creator of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', openly makes [[Hentai]] doujins under the pseudonym Tex-Mex. Apparently he does so just for fun, but never does any based on his own work. However he has published two worksafe artbooks in doujin format about characters from the ''Black Lagoon'' series under said pseudonym, with the first one being simply about how he designed the characters and the other being a swimsuit special.
*** In an ironic twist, because of publishing them under the name Tex-Mex, these artbooks have found their way into the lists of hentai manga despite being totally work safe.
*** In one of his swimsuit illustrations, Hiroe even invites readers to draw erotic scenes about Roberta.
** Kiyohiko Azuma, author of such decidedly family-viewing-safe, and even ''wholesome'' entertainment as ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' and ''[[YotsubatoYotsuba&!]]'', got his start doing erotic and non-erotic fan doujinshi; mostly under the pen name Jōji Jonokuchi.
** Toshihiro Ono is best known in the US as the author of the ''[[Pokémon]]'' manga ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' and the ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' manga. In Japan, he's better known as an author of hentai doujinshi with titles like ''Anal Justice''. It's not surprising considering the edits Viz had to make for US release, and even before that his editors in Japan had to [[Bleached Underpants|clean it up some.]]
** [[Shirow Masamune]] often draws up hentai artwork in between and within his published series like ''[[Appleseed]]'' and ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]''. He actually started out with hentai artwork before moving into serialized productions.

== Disney ==
* [[Disney]] is a notorious example of a corporation actively against Rule Thirty Four34, or ''any'' other "unauthorized" use of their characters, for that matter; woe be a fan artist who makes a similar character to one of theirs, or any day care centers who have unapproved murals of their characters on their walls, as they have been known to file lawsuits against such "offenders". The sheer amount of Disney Rule 34 that still exists without incident suggests that at some point they finally realized it was a lost cause.
** An infamous (and [[Urban Legends|probably apocryphal]]) story from the early days of the studio tells of a staff party where a cartoon was shown of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in an x-rated scene. Afterwards, Walt chuckled along with everyone else, invited the two guys who made the cartoon to come up and be recognized... and then fired them on the spot and ordered the film destroyed.
*** Other versions of the story suggest that it was [[Snow White (Disney film)|Snow White]] and her dwarfs having an orgy in the film which was shown at Uncle Walt's birthday party.
Line 80:
:* Novik, of course, got her start in fandom—she was (and still is) a prominent slash writer in several different fandoms, and her user handle is something of an open secret to the slash community—so she is undoubtedly ''well'' aware of fannish activity regarding ''Temeraire''. In fact, ''Temeraire'' itself began as an [[Ascended Fanfic]] of the ''[[Aubrey-Maturin]]'' series!
* In the late 1980s, [[Larry Niven]] granted permission to a fan, Elf Sternberg, to write a fanfic based on Niven's ''[[Known Space]]'' universe. The story Sternberg wrote and posted to [[UseNet]] was, in Niven's words, "a sadomasochistic homosexual gangbang" involving the kzinti, Niven's [[Proud Warrior Race|warlike]] [[Mega Neko|felinoid]] alien race. Niven threatened to sue Sternberg, who withdrew the story, but that doesn't stop bootleg copies of it from circulating. Subsequently, Sternberg incorporated some concepts from his fic into his own series, ''[[The Journal Entries]]'', which is essentially an erotic [[Mega Crossover]] of various SF works with the [[Serial Numbers Filed Off]]. Niven would later open up the ''Known Space'' universe to other authors in the Man-Kzin Wars series of story collections.
* Stephanie Meyer's opinion of the writer of ''[[Fifty Shades of Grey]]'' (which started as a NSFW fanfiction of her series ''[[Twilight]]'') was, "It's not really my genre, not my thing, but good on her, she's doing well."

Line 149 ⟶ 150:
:* Temmie Chang, the creator of several monsters for the game, has gone on record saying that she is uncomfortable with seeing erotic fanart involving Temmies (which are based on her [[Author Avatar|Self-portraying caricature]]) and that she would intervene on blogs posting it. Knowing that her disapproval won't stop the pornographers, she asked that at least the people making or posting it tag it "Temm'''oi'''" instead of "Temmie".
* Hato Moa, the creator of ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]],'' [http://31.media.tumblr.com/6915b95c1c7f069dcf5ab820757741fa/tumblr_mfh2248VJk1qbndado1_500.png has said on Twitter] "I myself allow sexual Hatoful fan arts of course. Have fun!". She herself post only worksafe fanarts, but many of the artist she reblogs had also made more erotic art and even pornographic doujinshis.
* Matt Bozon (co-creator and lead developer of the ''[[Shantae]]'') series may have inadvertently helped Rule 34 artists a great deal. Many websites (such as [[DeviantARTDeviantArt]]) will reject NSFW art if there is even a ''slight'' possibility that the character is not legal age, and due to the heroine's [[Vague Age]] in the series, she is on the list of characters who cannot be depicted that way. Or rather, ''used'' to be. In May of 2021, however, Bozon said this on an AMA session on the game's official Discord server:
{{quote|'''Bozon:''' Shantae has no official age, but we consider her to be an adult in all video games depictions up to this point.
'''Another Poster:''' Oh, God, you don't know what you just did.}}
:* And because [[Word of God|the author's word tends to be the final authority on such matters...]]
* ''No'', there is no "nude Lara patch" in any ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' game, that is an [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]. This doesn't stop computer-savvy players from making one themselves using mods, of course, and [[Eidos Interactive]] once said publicly that they would ''sue'' anyone who was caught circulating, selling, or otherwise distributing such a patch. In fact, [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|Lara herself seems to not take kindly on such players]], as shown [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC_4_5Q766c in this scene from the second game].

Line 172 ⟶ 174:
* The ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' creators have gone on record saying they have nothing against people drawing porn of their characters, and actually think it's kind of awesome. "I am honored that people would like the characters enough to want to see them fuck." - Mike Krahulik.
** Does that include [[Lolicon|Annarchy]]? Because it exists.
* ''Possibly'' the message of [https://web.archive.org/web/20150401164902/http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20060905 this scene] from ''[[Scary Go Round]]'' where Shelley encounters obsessive fans of ''herself''. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|It gets quite awkward.]]
{{quote|'''Shelley-Fan''': Dennis, show her your tattoo.
'''Shelley''': Um, that's lovely, Dennis. Maybe it overflatters my flexibility and unicorn riding abilities. }}

** Several of them have been prone to making requests...with length requirements. On official DVD releases:
{{quote|Bennett the Sage: I expect 2,000 words within the week this [the [[Suburban Knights]] DVD] goes up, or you have FAILED!}}
**:* And Rob Walker, even though in fic he's mostly fucking his little brother, wants the minimum for fanfiction involving him to be 1,000 words.
*:* [[Brows Held High|Kyle Kallgren]] mentioned finding something on his [https://twitter.com/#!/KyleKallgren Twitter] and, a few posts later, tweeted "Hey, to the people on tumblr I mentioned earlier - I really don't care. I found it flattering! Please continue as you were." and "I mean, jeez, I didn't want to send people running scared..."
*:* Less enthralled by the [[Torture Porn|guro]], however.
* ''[[Captain SNES]]'' had a whole parody where Relm was a [[Yaoi Fangirl]] who couldn't stop slashing football players together. Fantasy football was [[Ruined FOREVER]] for Alex.
* The ''[[Everyman HYBRID]]'' guys are aware, in-character, of the [[Slash Fic]] they've attracted. Their reactions were fairly tame, although Evan describes it as being simultaneously disturbing and flattering.
