I was thankfully notified ahead of time about the developing story here, and it looks like the media^TM hasn't showed up to report because it's a very small story, actually hard to believe this is over a week old and NO ONE had much to say at the time the news dropped.

SFW Content, NSFW Blog, links head to mostly SFW sources.

Internet persona and creator with quite the history (not all of it good, mind you) Tom Fulp announced in a post on the Newgrounds Forum (click here) ~11 days ago that Nintendo was mass flagging the adult works in the Nintendo-character tags hosted on Newgrounds. Newgrounds is ANCIENT, there is probably at least 15 years of content Nintendo's lawyers had to detect and DMCA in some capacity, possibly thousands upon thousands of works. Talk about being aggressive, eh?

Copyright Law in Japan (Wikipedia) is the factor here, like their attacks on creators via Youtube and Patreon before it, Nintendo hoards absolute authority over everything internationally, Newgrounds included. History has shown Japanese Copyright law makes no provision for Fair Uses, not even in the form of targeted Parody. Parody itself doesn't even matter, they basically just have to prove you are making money in some relation to the IP's involvement by reference. This famously caused a pokemon porn purge on Patreon (here's a journal on Furaffinity.net in 2019), and Youtube once had the "Nintendo Creator" program (Kotaku, 2018) which harshly restricted your ability to post clips of Nintendo games being played. Now-a-days they just have a "policy" (Gamerant, 2023), which still does basically the same thing with less involvement from them.

As mentioned, Nintendo has some history here and is notoriously finicky about if or if not they're going to risk market and brand on engaging in even mildly mature products. Doom 2016 and Skyrim arriving on Switch was actually pretty significant in the company's history, with a sparingly meager selection of 17+ audience works in the library. In looking for coverage on this new story, I found instead a 4 year old article about a similar takedown that involved an adult/erotic princess peach game being struck after 8 years of life. You can read that one right here (MyNintendoNews, 2020).

Howdy. I've been watching this situation develop over probably several months, and like everyone else, there's just so much wrong with Twitter/X as a platform that it might as well be totally written off. But I wanted to take a second to comment on Elon's Nazi Parlor.

SFW content, NSFW blog; and we're covering some recent personal observations I don't have good data on. If you have good data, please comment or share with your expansions, it would be graciously appreciated.

Howdy everyone. Please share this. I don't care how, I don't care to whom, but you need to listen and you need to send this around.

Patreon has been mobilizing on a lot. 3D Face Scanning technology requirements, increasing scrutiny on content published, purges of various NSFW kink artwork through the years, but this last chapter in Patreon as a Queer-enabling Platform is likely to close with a hell of a bang.

Allegedly, Patreon will be going Public very soon. For those not aware, going Public means the company is going to offer Shares to Investors via the Stock Market. An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a big deal for a tech company like Patreon, which follows the model of many Silicon Valley start-ups of blitzscaling and then retroactively changing the rules of business with their non-worker clientele. Articles from Summer of this year suggest that the company may be going Public during 2024, or perhaps right at the end of 2023. The company isn't doing so hot based on projected valuation, this might be the moment they have to go full hog.

Read on for more details. SFW content, NSFW blog, just as a heads up.
