so who'd you draw porn ofNo reddit link on this one, sources is uh ... my own inbox:
I'm sorry but I'm struggling trying to imagine how human age of consent laws would apply to pink puffballs and cartoon dinosaurs.Pretty much every Pokemon main character, Kirby in some canons, Animal Crossing has AT LEAST the villager, 90% of the Links, possibly Diddy Kong and Yoshi, Every koopaling, most Paper Mario support characters and of course every "baby ____" character.
They have to get out ahead of this stuff. If they don't at least try and defend their IP now, that inaction could be used against them later. Also "Is Nintendo allowing Pokemon Porn?!?" articles would be bad publicity. Blizzard and Nintendo have to make it look like they care.
God, I wish this is what actually leads to a large fair use case in court. If only for the fact that a bunch of Nintendo porn would have to be provided as evidence and be kept on record.That's not how fair use works.

I hope Nintendo gets a lot of shit for this.
For protecting the intellectual properties?
Nintendo has every right to issue these when their property is not being used as intended. They own it.
Don't politicize this.
That's gonna backfire badly. As far as I know, you cannot really DMCA fan art (even pr0n type) as long as you're not selling anything or reusing existing assets.
Also, Jimquisition episode incoming, I guess
LMAO good luck with that one Nintendo. Why don't you ask Blizzard how well that one worked out?
Nintendo about to enter the hentai market? A bold new future.
To be fair the key difference is that Blizzard was upset at people using their ingame assets to make pornography. Nintendo are just taking out literally anything they want.
Yo, OP.Did a number of searches here and around google and no one seems to really be talking about it the way they did the Overwatch source film maker takedowns by Blizzard in May.
To cut a long story short, Nintendo seem to now be following suit and have started to issue DMCA take down notifications to remove pornography from tumblr blogs. While the bulk of the Overwatch take downs seemed to at least be related to missuse of Blizzard's own art assets in source film maker - an act that at least can be justified by content creators essentially reusing Blizzard's own work - Nintendo's notices don't relate to 3d animation of their owned assets but rather extends to just any created content.

What are your thoughts, GAF?

It'll compliment their grand return to love hotels nicely.Nintendo about to enter the hentai market? A bold new future.
Uhhh...no, I think it'll be fine, somehow. Rule 34 and all that.I see a lot of comments like the one and it should be noted that while they maybe won't succeed a lot of hard working artist will either lose alot of their work or lose a chunk of their fanbase because of sites like Tumblr to afraid of risking a lawsuit. We will probably see a less degree of porn artist working on Nintendo IP because of the risk.
Their art will still be out there but probably uncredited uploaded by some rando.
I wish people took this more seriously.
Thanks Nintendo, now it's just a casual picture of Metroid and Luma hanging out.
Can't tell if joking.
Yes of course Nintendo is in the wrong, never-mind no one got their arse in a knot this much over Blizzard and Overwatch.
How is taking a character from one medium into another to place them in contexts the original works would never dare to touch and depict that in one's own artstyle not transformative?It's hard to say if Nintendo is in the wrong, I would love somebody with time and money on their hands get a great fair use lawyer and argue in court that their porn fan art is "transformative".
Just imagine spending hours and hours on perfecting your art only for it all to be gone. Fuck I would be pissed
Yo, OP.
Was the name of the lawyer who filed the DMCA notice Jason Allen?
If so, it's a fake and you got served.

Maybe people can help pass around the information that it's a fake employee that's sending out these DMCAs to all of the Nintendo fan works. There has got to be something that can be done about this.

Should have stuck to traditional still life like a pot of flowers then rather than drawing Mario's willy.

sauce?
This is hilariously adorable to me.Good
Wait, people make money off this stuff?
I mean, you put it in snark quotes, but I wasn't being confrontational. Legit curious. Looking at some precedents, seems like you could even argue fair use if they straight-up used Nintendo's assets, or also not looking at other cases.Did I say it wasn't? The person could very well win. Despite Fair use being defined, it's still left up to interpretation; you could get different judgements in different courts for the same fan art.
Tangential, but did Blizzard's action stop the flow of Overwatch porn, or its availability? My gut says its still out there if you know where to look.
