* [[Archie Comics]] aggressively responds to Rule 34, threatening legal action against [[Fan Fiction Dot NetFanfiction.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''.
** ''[[Chasing Amy|Deny, deny, deny.]]''
** Archie is now on the site's list of stories and authors that fanfiction is not allowed to be posted about AT ALL.
Line 84:
{{quote| ahahahaha, so yes, I have in fact gotten an (awesome!) porny Temeraire fanart for the contest. *is dying of laughter* I love fandom. \\o/}}
** 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 '80s, [[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 [[Use NetUseNet]] 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.

* How many fanfics do ''you'' know that have caused International Incidents? ''Agony In 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 [[Fan Fiction Dot NetFanfiction.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 International Incident), well, AFF.net's rating system can take those as well.
* ''[[Myth Busters]]''' Adam Savage KNOWS that Rule 34 applies to his own show, and HAS seen things he wishes to [[Brain Bleach|unsee]]. [http://twitter.com/donttrythis/status/2541204042 He says so here.]
Line 107:
''It's the Gay Daleks!'' }}
* Frankie Boyle seems to view the existence of a ''[[Mock the Week]]'' fic which slashes him and Hugh Dennis as simply being really good material for jokes.
{{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 the 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]]. It's the "Wincest" that ''really'' squicks them out.
Line 115:
** When [[Benedict Cumberbatch]] found out about the ''significant'' amount of explicit [[Slash Fic]] and [[Fan Art]] and being produced for the show, [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1684328/benedict-cumberbatch-sherlock-holmes-fan-fiction.jhtml his reaction] consisted mostly of being very flattered by the depictions of his character.
*** Bear in mind that Ben "found out" about the porn from [[Martin Freeman]]. He (and his partner Amanda Abbington) lurk on Tumblr, and he shares what he finds with the rest of the cast.
* On ''[[Thirty30 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.
* [[Max Adler]] and [[Chris Colfer]] are aware of their ''[[Glee]]'' characters being paired together. They're fine with it, although Max doesn't want to read anything in case it influences him, and they both think that [[Portmanteau Couple Name|"Kurtofsky"]] sounds like a mean, famous, Russian ballerina.
** [[Kevin McHale]] has earned himself the nickname of "Kevin McTroll", and is known in the fandom for visiting Tumblr (often tweeting coyly about his visits). He's stated that he's aware of a lot that goes on in the fandom, though he doesn't read fanfiction, saying that he's seen snippets that scare him.
Line 142:
** Surprisingly, the doujin fandom responded by making Bayonetta the one in power in most dojins now.
* A rare exception to the general attitude of Japanese companies to doujins was a ''[[Pokémon]]'' doujin that involved Satoshi (Ash) turning into a werewolf and doing unspeakable things to Pikachu. Nintendo came down hard on that one.
** [[Heh Heh You Said X|Heh. Hard on.]] More seriously, Nintendo has been anti-[[Rule Thirty Four34]] 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 -- 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 actualy ''Sony'' that has the hardest line against pornographic content, which caused problems for the [[PS 2]] version of the [[So Bad ItsIt'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 -- the Japanese Saturn actually had some eroge officially released for it.
** When they were initially released, Nintendo bought out the ''Super Hornio Brothers'' porn parodies to make sure they never got any further distribution.
* Reportedly, one of the reasons that Dizzy (the ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' character, not [[Dizzy|the egg]]) exists is to provide a sort of porn bug zapper for the rest of the cast of ''[[Guilty Gear]]''. She's three years old, almost naked, has wings and a tail, and the most oblivious fan in the world would probably wonder if she was [[Les Yay|banging May]]. Thus, she provides so much low-hanging porn fruit that the creators hoped fan artists would gravitate entirely towards her and stay away from the other women in the cast. It appears to have been at least partially successful.
Line 211:
* ''[[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.
* Reportedly, [[Ben Drowned (Web Video)|Jadusable]] was not amused. Since a lot of the potential [[Rule Thirty Four34]] for the fandom involves [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary College Students]] getting it on with either [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] or a [[Cargo Ship|very literal]] [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|Fandom Bicycle]], this is fairly [[Justified]] due to the persistent [[No Yay]] factor.
* The creator of ''[[My Name Is Zytherys]]'' plays the eponymous character and is a bit [[Pettanko]]. This has led to a good number of the fans assuming the blog is run by a [[Viewer Gender Confusion|male]]. After reading a slash fic running on this assumption, she bemusedly commented in a PM that she wasn't aware she was so [[Biggus Dickus|well-endowed]].
* In an episode of the [[Rooster Teeth]] weekly podcast, Geoff (voice of Grif) and Gus (voice of Simmons) mentioned how yes, they know there's [[Red vs. Blue|Grif/Simmons]] slash fics out there, and yes, they've read some. And wished they hadn't.
Line 228:
* Rumor has it that some animators of the children cartoon show ''[[The Raccoons]]'' drew their characters in adult situations, put the drawings on the walls of the Hinton Animation Studios and later even created print collections for themselves entitled "Off the Walls" vol. 1, 2 and 3.
* [[Craig McCracken]], of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'' and ''[[Fosters 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."
*** http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/journal/FAQ-276161988 That's an animation FAQ with a section on ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. It reiterates her stance about R34.
*** Though when she discovered that fans were making porn of her [[Author Avatar|Pony OC]] she said word for word, "Gotta admit, that kind of gives me the creeps. I'd rather not know about it."
*** Tara Strong on the other hand seems to take a more relaxed approach to her character [https://twitter.com/#%21/tarastrong/status/172153526070419456/photo/1 Twilight Sparkle in a bikini for example.]
Line 236:
** According to that same interview, Rule 34 was rampant in that studio, and included everything from softcore fluff to things that were, to quote, "Bad. Sand-worm bad."
* 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!''

Go back to [[Rule Thirty Four34]], but somewhere the original creator's soul is dying.
