A recent listing has gone viral on Reddittitled “Top 100 – Most Desecrated Characters according to Rule34.xxx“This ranking has caught the attention of users due to the surprising number of characters and creatures included, such as Tifa Lockhart, Twilight Sparkle, Lucario, Gardevoir, and Renamonamong others.
Rule 34 is an internet rule that states that “if something exists, there is p0rn0graphy of it.” This concept has become popular in online forums and communities, where users create and share suggestive content about virtually anything, from animated series characters to video game figures. This phenomenon has led to the creation of dedicated websites, Rule34.xxx being one of the most well-known, where characters are ranked and counted based on the amount of user-generated content.
- The color code is as follows: (Pink) for female characters, (Gray) for genderless characters, (Blue) for male characters.
The Reddit community has reacted in a variety of ways to the ranking, with comments highlighting both surprise and disbelief:
- «There are SIX Pokemon on this list before Misty arrives? I don't want to hear anyone arguing for Pokemon to be that high!».
- «The fact that Link and Zelda have almost identical numbers is kind of adorable. Relationship goals».
- «I understand anime/video game girls, but what the hell happened to all these Pokémon? At first I thought it was a Pokédex data post».

- «Why is Spider-Man so low? And why is Twilight Sparkle so high?».
- «The fact that the first 5 after Tifa aren't even human…».
