Quotes / Rule 34 – Creator Reactions

"I was approached by a cartoonist with a few credits in barely-professional magazines. He'd seen me chatting with Mr. Schulz and craved an introduction. 'I want to get his reaction to this,' the young man said. Then he pulled out a couple of pages on which he'd drawn pornographic sequences of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, and the gang.
[…] I wanted no part of it so he approached Mr. Schulz on his own. Even halfway across the hall, you could feel a wince of agony when the drawings were thrust into Schulz's line of sight. He looked like someone had taken a large, hardwood railroad tie and clubbed him over the head with it. 'That's... uh, nice linework,' Schulz muttered in a feeble attempt to find something positive to say. (It was not, by the way, nice linework)
Call it a study in contrasts between two men at opposite ends of one art form. Schulz displayed uncommon grace by not hollering — in the enduring words of Lucy Van Pelt in big, Speedball pen lettering — 'YOU BLOCKHEAD!'
But he didn't. I don't think he understood why someone would do such a thing: Is that an artistic endeavor? Despoiling someone else's creations? And doing it so poorly?
[…] Oblivious to the pain he'd inflicted on another human being, the Peanuts pornographer ran happily back to his friends to brag that Schulz had complimented his linework."

"it's bittersweet writing up new characters I like, because in the back of my head I know there’s people who are going to simp for them and obsess over them and sexualize them and everything. no matter what. every single time"
Alex Kister, creator of the Mandela Catalogue

Hey @everyone I have something important to address.
How do we, as a company - deal with the fact
that everyone wants to fuck the ULTRAKILL robot
Dave Oshry, head of New Blood Interactive, on r34 fanart of V1

David: Hey, latest star of an internet video, check out these drawings of you I found on the web!
Ye Thuza: Urgh, such big boobs would be quite impractical for fighting. And Spider-Man isn't my type at all! Or Batman.

"I know that there's a whole debate on whether it's morally right for artists to draw YouTubers in a lewd way; I can't speak for other YouTubers, but... me? I don't care. As long as it looks good, you can literally draw me doing whatever the butt you want, as long as it's not GARBAGE!"
