== Anime & Manga ==
* Japanese manga and anime artists and companies have very little qualms about fans making erotic ''[[Doujinshi]]'' of their worlds, or even ''selling'' them; in fact, many famous manga and anime artists [[Bleached Underpants|started their careers doing just that]], and some of them still dabble in the pastime. This is buffered by the very low print runs of such work (though this is somewhat compensated by most doujinshi being downloadable at sites).
** 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.
Line 14:
*** ''[[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]] 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, [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 who [[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.
Line 61:
* They do seem to have less of a problem if it's framed in the context of ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' but that may be because that targets an altogether different audience.
* The first Disney ''[[Power Rangers]]'' season, ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]'' includes a joke that was deleted from "Forever Red" about "the stories about [Jason and Tommy] on the Internet" and how they've been awkward ever since. After a gay porn star who looked like Austin St. John surfaced, this became [[Hilarious in Hindsight]].
* 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.
 
 
Line 96:
{{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 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."}}
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 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 -- 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 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 -- 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.
