"You know what they say: "Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it." This internet rule posits that every fictional character has lewd art of them somewhere online, and there's a website called Rule 34 that curates it and lets you search by character. But are you internet poisoned enough to be able to guess which characters have the most entries on that site? I thought I was, but I was very wrong."
" is a browser game that pits two characters or franchises against one another and asks you to guess which of the pair has been the subject of more smutty art on the internet. I figured this would be easy. I know who the sickos are on the internet, and I also know which fandoms have the most artistically inclined community members."
"In just a few minutes of guessing, I was repeatedly taken aback by the gaps between some characters. Sometimes they were as wide as the ocean, and at other times they were too close for comfort. Leavanny from being just a couple of hundred entries away from the frost giant heartthrob Loki? That didn't sound right, so I went investigating, and lo and behold, it was true."
A browser game matches two characters or franchises and asks players to guess which has more explicit entries on Rule34. Players often encounter surprising results, with unexpected characters outranking well-known figures. Examples include Snivy apparently exceeding Kitana in entries and Leavanny being unexpectedly close to Loki. The game produces wide and narrow gaps that provoke investigation and disbelief. The gameplay is social and entertaining to watch on streams. The game itself does not display NSFW content. An alternate version pulls from Archive of Our Own, where some results include non-pornographic fanfiction entries.
