Site links

I am wondering why this page has links to pornographic sites. Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of information, not a porn directory. If someone wants to find these kind of sites they can use a search engine. And the last link is a pay site, which means that this page is basically advertising for that site. I'm removing the links to the sites containing pornography but leaving the other link since it is informative in nature. TSchellhous 04:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

I resent having my contribution being labelled as "vandalism", according to an edit from February 3. I was simply adding a section of my own knowledge of the Cartoon pornographic sites I have been forced to censor to avoid my children from seeing. I notice a pattern and decide to let people know about it. Sadly, that word "vandalism" proves that Wikipedia is run by people who are inconsiderate bullies. 71.194.44.46, 17:36, 7 February 2006 (GMT)

yeah, um....[Your edit] was no more than removing the entire guts of the article, maybe it was just a mistake, but wholesale removing of sections like that is generaly frowned upon. --Carterhawk 18:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Parody/satire

I fail to see how cartoon pornography can be considered parody or satire.--Orthologist 23:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disneyland_Memorial_Orgy is a pretty good example of how you can combine famous characters with sexual situations.--Carterhawk 16:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While it is true that most parodies usually are humorous works, a parody dos not necessarily need to be comedic and satirical in nature.

Picture

Someone has changed the picture... this might be more appropriate.--Orthologist 00:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The original image that was started with the article featured copyrighted characters and was deemed replacable. I worked with the artist of the original image to make the new image wikipedia friendly. --Carterhawk 00:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone added a picture below the one already existing. Should we find a replacement? This one uses copyrighted characters and, as far as I know, there are a lot of pictures like this one without copyrighted characters.--Orthologist 13:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The new image attribution states the image may not be reproduced despite being licensed under CCA2.5, im going to remove it and tag it for speedy deletion, because an unknown artist cannot give permission anyways. --72.67.29.95 20:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hentai

Regarding the "differences between cartoon pornography and hentai" I fail to see the validity of that article and it's claims that those are two different art forms. Especially as the source seems to be a payable hentai service. It seems obvious to me that hentai (actually called Adult animation or erotic animation by Japanese people) is a form of cartoon pornography, not a completely different art form. It's the same as anime can be called a type of cartoon which emerged in Japan. Hentai is just a type of adult cartoon which is also anime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.206.233.213 (talk) 08:54, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, hentai is certainly a subsect of cartoon pornography, unless of course it covers erotica not considered to be pornography. I think in general terms, pornography covers this but certain definitions of it (like not having artistic merit) make people rightfully not want to call it that. Tyciol (talk) 14:41, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that hentai seems to be a subset of cartoon porn, and it's unclear to me how they are different. Any objections to me removing "It is distinguished from Hentai", or perhaps even replacing with something like "and also includes genres such as Hentai"? Mdwh (talk) 23:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you as I say, but "distinguish" to me could imply that it's distinct, as opposed to a subset. If we agree that it's a subset, does anyone object to saying this more explicitly? E.g., we could include it in the previous sentence: "Cartoon pornography includes but is not limited to parody renditions of famous cartoons, comics and Hentai."? Mdwh (talk) 13:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've reworded the sentence to remove the claim hentai is different from cartoon pornography so it simply explains what hentai is Nil Einne (talk) 14:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rule 34

"Rule 34" directs here. Why, exactly? There's a lot more to Rule 34 than Cartoons. It should have it's own article, or at least be mentioned in the text of this one. XKCD 305 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.252.128 (talk) 04:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. Regarding Rule 34, I quote from urban dictionary, "[Rule 34 is a] generally accepted internet rule that states that pornography or sexually related material exists for any conceivable subject." A simple Google search should render corroborating evidence. An addendum to the rule is that if such pornography has not yet been found, it must be made. A call for Rule 34 on a given subject is generally a request to present pornography of that subject. Not all instances of Rule 34 are cartoon related, though many calls for Rule 34 are intended as shocking or satirical portrayals of beloved childhood cartoon characters. Many calls for Rule 34 are intended to ridicule political figures, a given class of people, or simply present an absurd situation for humorous effect. Some calls for Rule 34 are also made to satisfy a rare sexual fetish, and seeing unusual sexual situations may be a fetish in and of itself. (69.229.196.13 (talk) 10:45, 6 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Redirection Rule 34 to Cartoon pornography is simply ridiculous. It's like redirecting anal sex to fellatio.. --Rmdsc (talk) 11:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barring the existance of an article for that term, or another more appropriate article, it's better than nothing I'd say. Rule34 is fan-created and thus, pretty much always a cartoon in any way imaginable, unless you count photoshop shoops. Tyciol (talk) 14:41, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we should let Urban Dictionary determine how we craft this encyclopedia... Beeblebrox (talk) 20:36, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't at all advocate consulting UD, I'm not sure where you got that. I've researched all major rule 34-oriented things. While 34 can encapsulate real forms of pornography, considering the ease of which it is to draw a picture versus enact something, and how theoretical fictional ideas will always outnumber real possible ones, it's a fair argument to say that 34 is predominantly cartoon. Unless the term has it's own article, where's a better place to redirect it than here? Tyciol (talk) 21:47, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
