They know they will never get it all, however much like piracy if they can reduce it down so the average pleb has a hard time sorting it then that is a good thing.
You could probably spin super hornio as a spoof or satire which is a concept that can dodge a lot of copyright, a simple plain drawing of a goron with tits or something is harder to sell there. I know I went for trademark stuff last time but you went back to copyright so I will play there. Recognisable elements could see things happen still, see Fox vs Etsy a while back.

It might also be Nintendo in Japan where things are a bit weirder for copyright and the general public actually seem to care.
It's still not just one site they would need to go after, there's literally thousands of them. The most they could do is go after the artists, but even then it's an uphill battle if the artist lives in a country that doesn't have to respect their copyright laws.
Nintendo is about take up a pretty massive job that honestly isn't worth the money they are about to invest into it. What money is lost through NSFW images of their characters? It's not like people are seeing these images and not buying their games. If anything, this might result in the same backlash that they got when they tried their youtube bullshit.
Nintendo just simply doesn't understand how the internet works and it's hurting them more in the long run trying to fight the internet than it is helping them.

One of us is either underestimating or overestimating the esteem which fan drawn cartoon porn is held in, however I am not sure which of us that would be. Pending my wandering the internet to see I am sticking with "no doubt some people enjoy it and from a persons involved standpoint it is harmless as these things go (RSI usually happens for the user rather than maker being about as damaging as things go there) but numbers wise then not so much".

Also what backlash? Some people tried some stuff and even went through with it for once. End result is still not a lot though, and if that agreement thing is an agreeable outcome then I am done with the legal system. No doubt Nintendo is the cranky old bastard that does not understand tech, and certainly if they think they can do more than have a seriously chilling effect. That chilling effect might well be what they are going for though -- I doubt many hosting sites would care to do the hardened/with a spine hosting with all such things tend to cost so if they then play it safe. We see it elsewhere, an example more in line with what we do around here is the Tetris company went on the warpath a few years ago and now homebrew Tetris is nowhere near the thing it once was.

"if the artist lives in a country that doesn't have to respect their copyright laws."
There are maybe 20 of those in the world, half of which lack decent internet. Sure outside the western EU/Nordic countries, Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, South Korea and Japan it gets somewhat harder to enforce but what percentages do you think come from/live outside those?

Money lost. Earlier I made a comment on selling an argument to a judge and that I will stand by, ballparking a monetary damages figure I have no clue about. I would not be surprised to find this is a "we got three complaints and as we all well know that means 3 million people were offended" logic as seen in the likes of the FCC and this is their reaction -- you could probably assign this as work to a junior lawyer or someone (starting after a morning meeting you find the hosting sites, do a broadshot DMCA filing against the top 10 (maybe 3 in each case) and you are probably then staring at the ceiling until lunch. You don't have to take the sites out either, just let word spread and suddenly you get "original characters only" rules appearing. On the flip side if you spend billions garnering a "family friendly" image then being seen to do this is probably a bit of cheap advertising.

What most of you fail to understand is not the existence of this stuff, rather how available it is.

Take a look at the screenshot I took. "Lucario", no extra fancy words. Boom, porn. Regardless of what you think about this kind of stuff you should remember that franchises like pokemon are directed mostly toward children and this is not ok.

You know Google tailors search results after your browsing history right? :ph34r:

I have the same results (including the porn one), and I use Icognito Mode every time I fap.

I'm not sure to what extent Google tracks your browsing history but technically they could track your browsing history by IP on any site using Google Analytics, AdSense or similar and Incognito Mode wouldn't prevent that. I guess it's unlikely to be a coincidence that you both get the same results though. I can't say I've ever seen porn show up on Google search results (at least not by accident :creep:) and I don't think I even have SafeSearch on but I might have it on without knowing about it.
