Rule 34/Creator Reactions: Difference between revisions

* Esurance sidelined its popular animated spokesperson Erin Esurance (her face can still be seen on posters in their commercials, but she no longer appears in animated form) when they realized that the majority of search engine results for "Esurance" were fetishistic and erotic artwork starring Erin rather than anything having to do with car insurance.

* While not mentioning Rule 34 specifically, the actress playing Flo in the Progressive Auto Insurance commercials is apparently genuinely baffled by the amount of... attention that her character gets, insisting that she plays her completely asexually.

** On the note of many famous manga and anime artists originally working in the ''[[Doujinshi]]'' industry, [[CLAMP]] is notable for doing such. [[I Knew It!|What did they market in]]? [[Yaoi|Easy]].

** And then we have Miss Maki Murakami. ''[[Gravitation]]'' remixes... each more explicit than the last. Not to mention ''Gamerz Heaven''. Yeah.

** According to some sources, the second season of ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'' had to resolve funding problems by selling doujinshi of ''Godannar'' characters.

** ''[[Hellsing]]'' creator Kouta Hirano started off as a hentai artist -- notartist—not only are most of the characters from ''Hellsing'' recycled from his previous works, but the plot of the first chapter as well. See [[Bleached Underpants]].

** There is a (while not porn, not work safe) ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' anthropomorphic [[Gender Bender]] doujin written by [[Excel Saga (Mangamanga)|Koshi Rikudo]].

*** ''[[Excel Saga (Animeanime)|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]] recently lampshaded the practice with a [[Shout -Out]] to one of their other works. An episode of ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|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]]'' [[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 whothat [[Aya Hirano]], the voice actress of Haruhi, also [[Actor Allusion|voices Konata]].

** 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 worksafe.work safe.

** Kiyohiko Azuma, author of such decidedly family-viewing-safe, and even ''wholesome'' entertainment as ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' and ''[[YotsubatoYotsuba&!]]'', got his start doing erotic and non-erotic fan doujinshi; mostly under the pen name Jōji Jonokuchi.

** [[Shirow Masamune]] often draws up hentai artwork in between and within his published series like ''[[Appleseed]]'' and ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell]]''. He actually started out with hentai artwork before moving into serialized productions.

** An example of the degree to which this can get carried is also present: Since ''fair use'' provisions in Japanese copyright law are much different from those of the US, frequently all references to other anime will need to be bleeped out of the dialog. Since ''[[Genshiken]]'' revolves around a college otaku club, to avoid having to do this, the writers created a fictional anime named ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]'' that was chock-full of anime tropes and clichés in order to describe anime as a whole. Several of the ''Genshiken'' episodes are devoted to the craft of creating, publishing, and selling aan ero-doujinshi of this fictional anime. As an example of ''life imitating art'', now ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]'' is [[Defictionalization|actually a real anime and manga]], and every conceivable [[Slash Fic]] and hentai doujinshi featuring its characters are already being published.

* The increasingly aggressive pursuit of [[Fan Disservice]] as ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' progressed, culminating in the heavy application of [[Squick]] and [[Nightmare Fuel]] in ''The End of Evangelion'', is said to be a result of [[Hideaki Anno]]'s reactions to Rule 34 - in particular, the {{spoiler|masturbation scene}} is rumored to be a specific [[Take That]] against fans who fetishized the characters.

* For ''[[Panty and& Stocking With Garterbelt (Anime)|Panty and Stocking Withwith Garterbelt]]'' on the other hand, [[Studio Gainax|Gainax]] seems to be encouraging doujinshi of the series, asking the creators to "work hard" for the then upcoming Comiket 79.

* [[Naoko Takeuchi]], creator/author/artist of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', enthusiastically encourages and enjoys reading fanworks based on it, including hentai material, and has been known to say so in her manga marginalia. Not to mention she herself drawing Usagi topless (and averting [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] by giving her nipples) in the [[Doujinshi]] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180216152255/http://mangastyle.net/sailormoon-artbook-vol-infinity.htm/ Pretty Solider Sailor Moon Original Picture Collection Volume Infinity]'', which is hardly porn but a little racy. Funnily enough the editors at Kodansha were more upset by the picture of Usagi in just her underwear than the topless picture.

* Ryogho Narita (creator of ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano!]]'' and ''[[Durarara!!]]'') stated that, while he doesn't understand why so many people want to see [[Foe Yay|Shizuo and Izaya]] have steamy hatesex with each other, he can't exactly object to it when [[One of Us|he himself ships]] [[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei-sensei|Harumi/Chiri]]. He's also prone to poking fun at shipping/Rule 34 tendencies in general (Erika's biggest shipping dilemma: [[Cargo Ship|Trolls/Fans or Fans/Trolls]]?).

** Mind you, he even wrote a short NSFW [[Foe Yay|Shizaya]] fiction, even though it was [[All Just a Dream]], and an [[April Fools]] joke.

* Aoi Nishimata makes a lot of ero doujins. She's an eroge artist, so that's not surprising. What is surprising is when she made an incest rape doujin using her own characters from her own non -adult series ''[[Final Approach]]''.

* [[Archie Comics]] aggressively responds to Rule 34, threatening legal action against [[Fanfiction.net|fanfiction.net]] if it didn't take down all the slash fics featuring its characters. It's not hard to see why, when you consider that the slash in question ranged from [[Ho Yay|Archie/Jughead]] to ''Archie/Mr.Weatherbee''.

** Archie is now on [[Fanwork Ban|the site's list of stories and authors that fanfiction is not allowed to be posted about AT''at ALLall''.]]

** This has led to some mishaps, however, among them a fan, ardent on getting his copy of Gold Digger autographed, who began discussing an erotic picture of Britney he wanted Perry to draw, much to Perry's attempted denial--whichdenial—which failed miserably when the fan showed Perry a set of earlier commissions he did. ([http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_thread/thread/d459315cdc844803/cc040661a10f1dfe Said fan did this in front of a grandmother and her two children] [[Jerkass|after pushing them out of the way]] to get to the front of the line.)

* [[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.

*** 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.

*** Minnie and Mickey ''did'' appear in a few Tijuana Bibles and Snow White, [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Jasmine]], [[The Little Mermaid (animation)|Ariel]] and [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Jessica Rabbit]] are favorite targets of internet porn maestro Julius Zimmerman.

*** This is in fact famous enough to get a [[Snopes]] [http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/oneframe.asp page] (where it is rated "undetermined")

** According to some of the older members of [[Furry Fandom]], back when the fandom was mostly limited to southern California, one clueless artist tried for a job at Disney studios by showing them his portfolio of very creepy Disney erotica-- — and was banned from the grounds

** Interestingly, Disney chose ''not'' to sue ''The Realist'' or Wally Wood when he did his infamous [https://web.archive.org/web/20120319230252/http://www.illegal-art.org/print/popups/orgy.html Disneyland Memorial Orgy] (the image, while not showing explicit depictions of genitalia, is probably not worksafe), on the feeling that it was probably protected as parody (as well as the possibility that the lawsuit would bring unwanted publicity). They ''did,'' however, sue the poster company selling unauthorized copies of Wood's work.

** Joseph Michael Linsner, in his "Dawn & Beyond" collectible art card set, included two Disney pieces. The first, a topless Ariel seen by a pop-eyed Sebastian, is fairly tame. The second, Beauty getting molested by Beast with Lumiere as a vibrator looking on, is rather less so. Disney went after Linsner, and the set was recalled and is now sold without those two pieces included. To be fair, this stuff ''was'' being sold for real money, which of course is copyright infringement any way you slice it.

* On the other hand, for the second season ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]'' DVD, Disney interviewed a number of [[Fan Fiction]] writers for a special feature on fanfic for the show (though only the cast and crew are interviewed). Some of the fanwritersfan writers in the special are downright notorious for writing [[NSFW]] stories.

* The infamous [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Pirates:Air Pirates|Air Pirates case]], where the eponymous 70's counterculture cartoonist group was the target of a massive lawsuit for publishing raunchy [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche]] [[Mickey Mouse]] comics.

** Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) actually discussed [[Boys Love|the Harry/Draco]] pairing on [[Conan O 'Brien]], even joking that his brother had a particularly porny photo as the background on his computer and claimed that he took it.

* Legal action was brought against the creators of creators of ''[[The Three Stooges (TV)|The Three Stooges]]'' porn parody.

* In the Great Fanfic Condemnation Week of 2010, author [[Outlander (Literaturenovel)|Diana Gabaldon]] expressed shock and horror that people on the internet were writing fanfiction of her characters in which "silky thighs" were stroked.

* Patrick Rothfuss, author of ''[[The King KillerKingkiller Chronicle]]'', not only actively looked for, but was over joyedoverjoyed to find that fans had slashed his charecterscharacters! He was so happy that [http://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2008/02/yes/ he ever wrote a blog post about it]. He happily ended the entry with, "I have truly arrived on the scene as a fantasy author."

== Live -Action TV ==

* How many fanfics do ''you'' know that have caused International Incidents? ''[[Agony Inin Pink]]'' was a ''[[Power Rangers]]'' badfic where the Pink Ranger gets tortured and killed - in ''lengthy'' detail - by a monster created by Lord Zedd. It resulted in [http://www.auspaytv.com/archive/news99-00/n080200.txt the newsgroup it was posted on getting banned in Australia], and is believed to be responsible for the complete removal of adult fanfic from [[Fanfiction.net|Fanfiction.Net]]. The lemon-fics returned to the site, once all the furor gradually evaporated over time, but now they're rated (by which we mean disguised) as "Mature" . However, virtually all of the original lemon-fics which got deleted by the administrators never did get posted again.

** Fortunately for self-proclaimed perverts everywhere, Adultfanfiction.net remains to take the burden off its shoulders. And if Fanfiction.net ever carries out its threat of banning M-rated fanfiction too (unlikely unless there's ANOTHER''another'' International Incident), well, AFF.net's rating system can take those as well.

* ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]''' Adam Savage KNOWS''knows'' that Rule 34 applies to his own show, and HAS''has'' seen things he wishes to [[Brain Bleach|unsee]]. [http://twitter.com/donttrythis/status/2541204042 He says so here.]

** [[James Marsters]] is reportedly amused by Rule34Rule 34 of his character, Spike. [[Anthony Stewart Head]], on the other hand, is mildly [[Squick|squickedsquick]]ed at Giles being paired with [[Alyson Hannigan|Willow]].

{{quote| "Why do they have to do that?"}}

**::* Well, then he really should not look for fanfiction for ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'' lest he find the Nathan/Shilo section.

* [[David Tennant]] has seen ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' porn on the internet, especially Ten/Jack Harkness. He's... bemused, if a little scared, though not enough to keep him from [[Crowning Moment of Funny|making a crack about one sample coming from]] [[John Barrowman]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alzbKK_UF70 blog].

** Whereas the Estate of Terry Nation leaps into action to ban the occasional Dalek porn flick which shows up every now and again. The most recent{{when}} was "Abducted By The Daleks", about the Daleks teleporting a bunch of naked lesbians into their ship and groping them with their plungers:

{{quote| The director of Terry Nation's estate, Tim Hancock, told ''The Sun'': "The reason the Daleks are still the most sinister thing in the universe is because they do not make things like porn. They weren't ever intended to be sexual creatures. It's simple, Daleks do not do porn."}}

**::* Of course not. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaptainkobold/3327269677/ Tasteful art photos, sure.] But no porn.

**::* Victor Lewis-Smith sails as close to the wind as he could in the "Gay Daleks" segments of his ''TV Offal'' series (and it's pretty certain that he was trying to annoy the people who had denied him the use of the ''Doctor Who'' theme for an earlier TV satire):

{{quote| "When I was a child and the Daleks were only shown in black and white, they looked to me like frightening Nazis. But then came colour television, and suddenly I could see they were really rather florid and harmless. Indeed, there's something intrinsically effeminate about Daleks; after all, there's the skirt, the plunger that's always getting erect when other Daleks are around, the all-male bonding, the obsession with discipline - isn't it obvious? The Daleks are gay! And this is what they seem like to me: ''(cue radio jingle)''<br />

''They're camp!''<br />

''They exterminate!''<br />

''Better watch your backs!''<br />

{{quote| "[[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|And the worst part]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}ctF1OjYov8g was they described my pubes as being ginger!]"}}

* In the documentary "''[[Trekkies"]]'', Denise Crosby and Brent Spiner (of ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation]]'') discuss some erotic artwork, of the two of them together, that fans have mailed to them.

* In a very surreal scene, the main characters in ''[[Supernatural]]'' [[Oh Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us|discover all the adult fanfiction about themselves]]. [[In-Universe]]. It's the "Wincest" that ''really'' squicks them out.

** Richard Speight Jr [[http://fangasmthebook.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/it<!-- E280%E2%80%99s-all-about-the-brothers-%E2%80%93-richard-speight-jr-on-gabriel-nude-scenes-and-sam%E2%80%99ndean-envy/ doesn't mind]] his character, Gabriel/Trickster appearing in fanfic - even when the example is Castiel/Gabriel. -->

* One of the actresses from the BBC mini-series ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]'', Louise Brealey (Molly), found fanfiction of her character and [http://community.livejournal.com/sherlockbbc/346956.html Tweeted] about it. She later Tweeted a second time to reassure the author of the fic that she wasn't offended.

* On ''[[30 Rock (TV)|30 Rock]]'', Tracy makes a porn film on the TGS set. Tina Fey hired the porn stars who played them in the ''30 Rock'' porn parody to appear in the actual show.

* [[Conan O 'Brien]] and Andy Richter are at least aware enough to know that their [[Portmanteau Couple Name]] is Candy. It's been referenced on [[Conan]] a few times

* David Duchnovny and Nicholas Lea have apparently found slash fic of [[The X -Files|Mulder/Krycek]] and reportedly found it vastly entertaining.

* Musical duo ''[[The Indelicates]]'' actually ran a contest claiming that it was inevitable that someone would make it, and they'd rather be involved.

* Rock band [[My Chemical Romance]] are aware of the erotic fanfiction and fanart with them in it, and they talked about this in an interview once. Frank Iero, while creeped out at the thought of him being a character, is glad that the fanbase is being 'creative'. Meanwhile, Ray Toro is less than pleased and wants the fans to "stop making us have sex with each other". And then there's poor Mikey Way, who stumbled upon an incest fic of him and Gerard. Needless to say, he was terrified.

* Josh Fruhlinger, aka [[The Comics Curmudgeon]], [http://joshreads.com/?p=1106 linked to a Rule 34] of ''[[Slylock Fox (Comic Strip)|Slylock Fox]]'' in his blog that included [[Catgirl|Cassandra Cat]] and other characters. Bob Weber found out after it was posted, and was a surprisingly good sport about it — he thought it was funny, but [http://joshreads.com/?p=1106#comment-254899 politely asked it to be taken down] so that kids couldn't find it.

* ''[[Beetle Bailey]]'' creator Mort Walker was way ahead of his fans on this one. He once drew [[Ms. Fanservice|Ms. Buxley]] nude and released the drawing as a limited edition series of art prints. Walker and his staff also make several dirty gag strips that never make it paste the sketch level. Mostly, they do this for their own amusement, but some of the strips hashave been published in Scandinavian magazines. With Walker's blessings, of course.

* [[Valve]] seems at least a little aware of the massive amounts of shipping and Rule34Rule 34 in ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' communities, but doesn't do much outside of taking potshots or jokingly [[Ship Tease|Ship Teasing]] ("Beaux and Arrows" Achievement? Kill a Heavy/Medic pair with the Huntsman, a bow) in order to mess with fans.

* ''[[Bayonetta]]''{{'}}s creator Hideki Kamiya [http://ca.kotaku.com/5538030/bayonetta-creator-not-thrilled-with-erotic-bayonetta-send+ups wasn't happy with smutty depictions of the character]. Not because there's erotic work of her, but that it ''usually [[Out of Character|makes her submissive]]''. In his eyes, [[Do Wrong Right| Bayonetta should ''always'' be the dom.]]

** It is sadly a ''common'' case, too. A depressing amount of Rule 34 for just about every [[Action Girl]] you care to name is like that.

** Surprisingly, the doujin fandom responded by making Bayonetta the one in power in most dojins now.

** [[Heh Heh, You Said "X"|Heh. Hard on.]] More seriously, Nintendo has been anti-[[Rule 34]] since the early days; that Nintendo Seal of Approval was partially because [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]] and partially because pirates had made porn on the Atari 2600.

*** Not as hard a line as they're sometimes portrayed as -- mostas—most of Nintendo's hyper-family-friendly image comes from Nintendo of America during the NES/SNES era. Suggestive or gory games date back all the way to the Famicom in Japan. It's actualyactually ''Sony'' that has the hardest line against pornographic content, which caused problems for the [[PSPlayStation 2]] version of the [[So Bad It's Horrible (Darth Wiki)|infamously terrible]] ''BMX XXX''. Sega is no longer in the console business, but didn't have a policy against pornography at all when it was -- thewas—the Japanese Saturn actually had some eroge officially released for it.

* Casey Hudson, creative director of the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' series, seems to have heard of the [[Defictionalized]] ''[[Face Full of Alien Wingwong|Fornax]]'' magazine. His reaction seemed to be a mixture of surprise and disgust/amusement.

* [http://www.xkcd.com/305/ This] ''[[Xkcd (Webcomic)|Xkcdxkcd]]'' strip probably explains the process behind this phenomenon. Needless to say, wetriffs.com exists. According to a ''Wired'' interview, it existed [[Strip Buffer|six months]] ''before'' the comic, the domain [[Crazy Prepared|registered by creator Randall Monroe]].

* Eric W. Schwartz is somewhat notorious for producing a [http://www.sabrina-online.com/fanfaq.html document] listing exactly which of his ''[[Sabrina Online (Webcomic)|Sabrina Online]]'' characters are and are not allowed to be depicted nude or in porn. As with the Disney example above, he's probably given up trying by now.

* Back in its [[Keenspot]] days, someone pointed out that the Rule34Rule 34 website had ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'' porn. Everyone started discussing it. Dan's reaction: Just don't link to the forum.

* ''[[Flipside (Webcomic)|Flipside]]'', which has more recently{{when}} had some occasional nudity in strip, has had a hidden gallery of nude fan pics of the characters.

* ''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.]]

* The author of ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'' did this to her poor characters long before anyone else did, and is aware of the various works her fans do.

* David Herbert of ''[[Domain Tnemrot]]'' once said no one was famous until this trope was inflicted on them.

* The people of ''[[That Guy With theThe Glasses|TGWTG.com]]'' are aware that their [[Yaoi Fangirl|fans]] can be and are slightly mental. And they're willing and cheerful enough about mentioning and hanging [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s on this fact.

And does this through scaring the writer half dead.]

** And even before that (when the fandom didn't exist and the [[That Guy With theThe Glasses (Website)/Ho Yay|Nerd/Critic]] battle was just starting) Doug said that he and James were sent fanfic and fanart links and said while it was a little weird, they mostly found it really funny.

*** MoreSome recentlytime later, he said that while he doesn't go searching for slashy stuff, it'd be silly for him to be offended and worry about what kind of people watch him.

** There was a livestream recently which was ''all about the fanfic''. They found the [[Kink Meme]] and to much delight and/or embarrassment, they read out prompts and fic and even proclaimed some of it really hot. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|They even requested stuff]]!

** [[Todd in Thethe Shadows]] says in his review of [[Rihanna]]'s "S&M" that sadomasochism isn't so weird, considering he's seen porn of himself.

** [[Diamanda Hagan]] even joined the fun--whenfun—when a fanfic of her, [[Marz Gurl]] and [[The Nostalgia Chick]] was proposed, she stated she was "amused." When it surfaced, she did a dramatic reading of it.

{{quote| Bennett the Sage: I expect 2,000 words within the week this [the [[Suburban Knights]] DVD] goes up, or you have FAILED!}}

*:* Less enthralled by the [[Torture Porn|guro]], however.

* Reportedly, [[Ben Drowned (Web Video)|Jadusable]] was not amused. Since a lot of the potential [[Rule 34]] for the fandom involves [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary College Students]] getting it on with either [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s or a [[Cargo Ship|very literal]] [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|Fandom Bicycle]], this is fairly [[Justified]] due to the persistent [[No Yay]] factor.

* When the topic of rule 34 of Demo (a female being wih no arms, blue hair, and a face that consists solely of a giant eye) being made came up on the [http://talkhaus.raocow.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1028&start=150#p47900 talkhaus forums] during the development of ''[[ASMTA Super Mario Thing]]'', [[Raocow]], her creator, could only utter a [[Flat What]] in response.

* John Green of the ''[[Vlog Brothers]]'' mentioned on a livestream that while he liked fanfic of his books, he wished he didn't know about John/Hank [[Slash Fic]].

* [[The Runaway Guys]] are ''well'' aware of the [[Slash Fic]] their fans generate, [[Genre Savvy|especially]] [[Proton Jon]]. He seems to find it somewhere between funny and disturbing.

* [[Craig McCracken]], of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'' and ''[[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' fame, while answering to frequent questions on his [[Deviant ART]] account, said "Yes I have seen the porn. Let's just leave it at that."

** Especially when you consider that Frankie Foster was based on his wife, [[Lauren Faust]] -- who in turn has this to say about the fandom for her own show, ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': "I'm a big girl. When stuff gets too icky I just find something else to do."

* Furry artist Klaus Doberman was forced to remove his ''[[Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron]]'' porn from his profiles after [[Dreamworks Animation]] started threatening him with a lawsuit.

* [[Hanna-Barbera]] filed lawsuit against artist Jab for making naughty art of their characters. Jab has not drawn a piece of any [[Hanna-Barbera]] character since the attempted lawsuit.

* ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers (Animation)|Galaxy Rangers]]'' fandom is an odd case. The fandom takes a dim view of Rule 34 ''because'' several writers lurk on the main fan list. That didn't stop Chris Rowley from ''inverting'' this Trope by commenting the writers themselves had some unsavory speculations about the villainess's sex life.

* How did the ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' pairing of Edd and Eddy happen? ''One of the'' '''''STORYBOARD WRITERS''''' ''drew porn of them and somehow leaked it onto the internet!''

* [[Adventure Time (Animation)|Pen Ward]] generally appreciates all types of [[Fan Art]] for the show, even if it's pornographic; he just likes that people care enough about the show to draw it.

* Like with Disney above, [[Warner Bros]] isn't a terribly big fan of this trope, as evidenced by [http://www.prismnet.com/~woodward/@cme/served.txt this cease &and desist letter] [[Screwed Byby the Lawyers|from their lawyers]].

Go back to [[Rule 34]], but remember that somewhere, the original creator's soul is dying.
