Being used in fascist propaganda is way more damaging to the brand than tentacle porn.

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Considering the leaked internal lore, why do you think tentacle porn would be damaging?

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because they literally went after people for making Pokemon porn on that exact basis?

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

They went for copyright infringement. The fact that people crave Pokémon porn is not damaging the brand, only a sign they need to sift to more ~~mature~~ adult audience
