Imagine trying to fight Rule 34 of the Internet. That’s a losing battle right from the get-go. There’s a reason for the rule and a reason why it’ll never stop or be stopped so long as the Internet exists.
I really hope this leads to a drastic, many-fold increase in the amount of Rule 34 content of Nintendo characters. I hope people start tagging them on Twitter with it all. Nothing would make me happier.
This would only serve to advertise their ips, just look at Overwatch. If you really want to fuck with a corporation, the best way is to forget about them.
Yup, if you knew nothing about the game and only went to certain places on the internet, you’d think none of the Overwatch characters wear clothes.
As the prophecy commands
Thats fighting a uphill battle from the bottom of the Marianne Creek against someone on the K2 mountain and sprinkling the Streisand effect for good measures.
Here comes the Nintedo IP Karen again.
God I fucking hate Nintendo, my first system was the 64, i had all their shit from the gameboy pocket until advanced. My friends try to get me to buy a switch and im like fuck that. If a company was the living embodiment of an asshole it would be nintendo, sometimes they put out good shit but it always smells.
[. . .]but it appears the company censored the question itself - which specifically related to a Mario cosplayer in Japan accused of sending lewd images to minors[. . .]
Yeah, I’m OK with going after those people
But not because it’s Mario, the images being about Mario have nothing to do with sending lewd pictures to minors. It’s not Nintendo’s business to go there, it’s the local authorities’. You know Nintendo will go overboard with this shit, as always.
Just go outside Nintendo legal department.
I kind of hope they try overextending their reach here
That would lead to HILARIOUS amounts of backlash
Does Nintendo own either Sonic or Pikachu? If so, Chris Chan has maybe days before they come for her.
It’s okay, the courts are pretty easy on first-time offenders. I’m sure she’s never done anything this bad before.
Not Sonic, but they have an exclusive games publishing agreement with Gamefreak for Pikachu. So yeah, Chris Chan’s goose is cooked. Well, more than it already is.
Time to start Rule 34’ing a Blooper with a Bullet Bill on principle.
There are mountains of much worse than that
Oh yeah because this stuff is just everywhere on the internet /s.
You have to go looking for this stuff. No one feels uncomfortable by it because the only times people would see it is if they’re googling it or already a part of a community. This is just Nintendo smashing the dmca button because their lawyers are bored
@nanoUFO Let me guess, will they put Minus8 to bankruptcy as an example?
So are they bringing back the Luigi Death Stare or not?
