MLP Rule 34 Update: May 2013 / OC Woes · 3:05am May 6th, 2013
It's Cinco de Mayo, so you know what that means...
What?! No. No! Oh, man. I really thought we were on the same page here...
It's the fifth of the month, so it's time for another in-depth analysis of clop! 
Specifically, I'm talking about Rule 34 statistics. For those of you who have missed the previous entries into this series, I've archived them below.

So stop playing with your joystick for a moment and pay attention, because we've got a lot of porn stats to sift through.
As of May 5, 2013, here's the state of Rule 34, according to Rule34.paheal.net:
Pokemon still holds the lead with 59,564 images. 866 new explicit images were added during April, giving Pokemon a 1.4% increase in porn from last month.
Touhou is in second place with 38,526 images. 1,186 new explicit images were added during April, giving Touhou a 3.1% increase in porn from last month.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is in third place with 29,133 images. 1,830 new explicit images were added during April, giving My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic a 6.7% increase in porn from last month.
DC Comics is in fourth place with 20,791 images. 445 new explicit images were added during April, giving DC Comics a 2.1% increase in porn from last month.
Street Fighter regained its position in fifth place with 15,880 images. 556 new explicit images were added during April, giving Street Fighter a 3.6% increase in porn from last month.
Naruto is back in sixth place with 15,760 images. 344 new explicit images were added during April, giving Naruto a 2.2% increase in porn from last month.
Marvel Comics is in seventh place with 14,905 images. 565 new explicit images were added during April, giving Marvel Comics a 3.9% increase in porn from last month.
Sonic Team is in eighth place with 12,536 images. 367 new explicit images were added during April, giving Sonic Team a 3% increase in porn from last month.
Digimon is in ninth place with 10,541 images. 206 new explicit images were added during April, giving Digimon a 1.9% increase in porn from last month.
Idolm@ster is in tenth place with 10,299 images. 115 new explicit images were added during April, giving Idolm@ster a 1.1% increase in porn from last month.
Just like last month, My Little Pony is in its usual first place position of porn production. The series managed to churn out 1830 new images in April, which is more than double the monthly amount of smut generated by Pokemon. So far this year, April has been the strongest month for pony porn. And while 1830 is still slightly below average when compared to My Little Pony's recorded numbers for 2012, the porn stats for April should still be viewed as a positive sign moving forward. We still have yet to break 2,000+ images in a month, but I'm hopeful that we'll reach that milestone later this year.
The monthly numbers of pony porn aren't as high as they could be. One reason why is because there's an aspect of My Little Pony that isn't allowed to be posted on Rule34.paheal.net. Rule 34 simply means that if it exists, there's porn of it. What it doesn't cover is porn made of original characters (OCs). 
It's no secret that a large number of pony OCs exist on the Internet. Many of them are depicted in illustrations which are suggestive or explicit in nature.
Due to their nature of being a fan-made creations, OCs are barred from Rule34.paheal.net. If OC porn was allowed, then My Little Pony would see a noticeable monthly increase. Come to think of it, so would the Sonic fandom. Hmmm...
[Searches Rule34.paheal.net for OCs.]
There seems to be a bit of a double standard when it comes to OCs. Characters like the Milkmare of Trottingham aren't allowed on Rule34.paheal.net, but Sonichu is.
Created by Internet celebrity Chris-Chan, Sonichu currently has 132 explicit images on Rule34.paheal.net. In contrast, Milky Way currently has 166 explicit images on Derpibooru, which aren't allowed to be posted on Rule34.paheal.net.
I'm not necessarily advocating that all pony OCs should be allowed on Rule34.paheal.net. Sonichu may be the exception that confirms the rule. Even though Sonichu is an original creation, Rule34.paheal.net doesn't acknowledge him as being part of the Sonic or Pokemon fandom. Like his much-maligned "father," Sonichu is one-of-a-kind and lives in his own little universe.
In other news, Street Fighter surpassed Naruto to reclaim its position as the fifth-largest Rule 34 generator. That position seems to be hotly contested. I feel confidant that Naruto will eventually hold onto the lead, but in the mean time, Street Fighter isn't giving up without a... fight.
Before I forget, here's an update on Rule 34 images for the mane six:
Twilight Sparkle
has 4,336 images. 259 explicit images were added during April, giving her an 6.3% increase from last month.
Rainbow Dash
has 3,833 images. 187 explicit images were added during April, giving her a 5.1% increase from last month.
Pinkie Pie
has 3,370 images. 174 explicit images were added during April, giving her an 5.4% increase from last month.
Fluttershy
has 3,219 images. 149 explicit images were added during April, giving her a 4.8% increase from last month.
Rarity
has 2,720 images. 139 explicit images were added during April, giving her a 5.3% increase from last month.
Applejack
has 2,699 images. 183 explicit images were added during April, giving her a 7.2% increase from last month.
Congratulations to Applejack who had the largest percentage increase this month from amongst the mane six! Applejack also managed to rank third this month for most new images added overall. Only the twin powerhouses of Rainbow Dash and Twilight produced more porn.
In what will surely be a tremendous upset, Applejack is poised to take fifth place away from Rarity. There's currently only twenty one explicit images separating them. Rarity not having her own episode in season three really hurt her porn production.
Fluttershy is my favorite pony, but Rarity's a close second, so it's a little sad to think that she's the least fapped to from amongst the mane six. 
We're going to have to wait until the new season before we get any fresh Rarity material to work with.
I wasn't particularly impressed with Season Three, and the lack of a Rarity episode didn't help matters. I'm hoping that Season Four will be a return to form for the writers. We need more episodes like those in Season One. Suited for Success is possibly the greatest episode of the series. But don't just take my word for it. Listen to what Bronycurious has to say on the subject.
Rarity is sexy, sophisticated, independent, business savvy and charitable. She's one of the best role models on television and deserves to have more porn made of her!
Special thanks to Infinion, who made these nifty graphs of the data I collected.
Well, that's all for this month. Thank you for reading and please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. And remember, be sure to clean up after yourself whenever you clop.
Topics for discussion:
1. Pony OCs. In your opinion, should OC porn be included on rule34.paheal.net, or should it be reserved exclusively for canon characters?
2. Which member of the main six deserves to be the least popular pony? Applejack? Rarity? Somepony else?
EDIT: Let me clarify what I mean by "least popular." Which pony do you find least appealing, either physically, or personality-wise? I want to know who is your least-fappable member of the mane six.
Discussion:
1) No, I don't think pony OC's should be allowed. When we say MLP:FiM, we're talking about the actual show, not the fanbase.
2) Personally, I like Rarity the least of all the Mane 6. She's whiny, uptight, and a total drama queen. Not to say I downright despise her. I'll admit, I've clopped to her a couple times. But out of all the Mane 6, she's my least favorite.
That statement above the sexy rarity lashes gif... yeah, that makes total sense. Best role model pony. Best candidate for porn.
The amount of time you spend on these things is almost scary.
Rarity is 3rd best mane6, right behind Twilicorn(2nd) and Shy(First, of course)
Applejack is worstpony.
1. I'm glad Blue Breeze has no porn. I can't look at normal clop, and OC's are worse.
2. Rarity is my least favorite for just how selfish she is despite being the Element of Generosity.
I think OC's deserve a right to be included in Rule34. After all, the rule states that as long as it exists, there's porn of it right?
Also, I don't think none of the Mane Six should be the worst pony. Each of them have their own unique characteristics that defines who they are, so you can't really compare them when they're obviously so different from each other. It wouldn't be fair.
I don't know about posting, but from a social science standpoint, I'd want to see separate numbers for non OC and OC porn. Because of science.
Pinkie Pie is worst pony. I can't even fap to her.
2. The problem with Applejack is that she's so shallow. (not in the bad way) But unlike the rest of the mane six she's already pretty much everything that she needs in life. Digibrony did a good explanation as to why there aren't more good AJ episodes.
She doesn't deserve to be the least popular, but she doesn't really stand a chance against the others who all have big goals in life, or interesting personalities. Applejack is the dependable one, she's honest, and she's protective of her family. Other then that she doesn't have much going on for her character wise.
1. No OC's.
2. I'm a Rarity fan myself. I used to like her the least, but then her performance in "A Dog and Pony Show" swung my favor in her direction. That said, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are my least favorite. Applejack comes in at number 2 on my personal ranking.

I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to Rarity's appeal. Thanks to a severe "Flanderization" of her character, Rarity has been pretty much reduced to a selfish drama queen.
I'm hoping the fourth season will take steps to fix things.
1. Sure, why not?
2. I don't think any of them "deserve" anything. Bad, at least.
I don't know, am I the only one who doesn't dislike a pony?
...And thinks that e621 is way better than paheal?
1057940 I refer you to her actions in Sleepless in Ponyville
Wow, if I draw just 200 images in May, I can push us over 2000!
(I can totally draw that fast. No really. Okay, I can't.)
Pinkie, of course. She's already fucking 67% of Ponyville, it's just unfair to claim 17% of all clop too!
1057932Well, for this poll's sake, we're talking about these blogs. In other words, should OC's be allowed in these blog numbers or not.
1057940Look man, you gotta admit that even with her shining moments (like Sisterhood Social) she's still a whiny drama queen.
1057953
My opinion still stands.
No pony should be least popular.
1057953
I'm not actually planning to include OC porn statistics in these monthly updates. I was mainly curious if porn of the fandom should be confined to canon characters, of if fandom creations should be included, too.
She is a drama queen, but it wasn't her only character trait at first.
1057962I never said it was. Just saying that from watching her through all three seasons so far, it made me like her the least. True, I like her a lot more than a lot of other ponies (*coughDiamond*cough*Tiara*cough*bitch*cough*), but when compared to the rest of the Mane 6, she just seems a bit shallow.
1057932
1057942
1057960
Let me clarify the question. It's not really a question of who is the least popular. Which member of the mane six do you find to be the least appealing?
1057940 Regardless on statistics, Applejack is my favourite.

1. Simce we're talking about rule34paheal.net, then OCs are not allowed.
2. Everypony's appealing.
1. Honestly? No, not really. Why? It would be like opening the Hoover Dam when it's near bursting, the last thing you would see is just a large wave coming at you.
2. Probably going to a lot of hate for this but I say Fluttershy. Why? The timid, weak, shy personality of hers is overplayed. You'd be hard pressed to find any show that didn't have someone like her in it. Plus, everyone seems to love her for some odd reason. I don't see the appeal.
Woah....
There are stadistics of that!?
I didn't know.
Well, I better start drawing porn now!
1057970
Oooh, that's a toughie.
Well... I suppose I'll likely turn down Rainbow Dash if she invites me for a sexy night. I might be persuaded, however, but yeah. Dash is the mare I'll most likely say no to the first time around.
Applejack has gotten popular for not being popular.
Worst Pony (let's just be honest about this) would be Pinkie Pie.
I don't know why, but I just find no sexual appeal in her.
I've tried, for Roobles' sake, to enjoy her, but ... She's just so bouncy, poofy, probably fat and obnoxious. Besides, Cadance is the pink pony for my heart.
I think Applejack has always enjoyed the largest percentile increase, in part because she's always been in the back, but also, I have it on good authority (the internet told me) that Applejack's vagina tastes like apples, how can you not love that? It is a shame that her ascent will be purchased at the expense of Rarity (my 2nd fav), but what can one do?
I never knew about the R34.net No OC rule. That really just seems like bullshit.
"If it exists, there's porn of it."
IT
Not a copyrighted property, not a specific tv show, not a recognized celebrity. "IT," whatever it is. R34 means that as I type out the words, "Homeless man urinating on an umbrella carried by an animu cat-girl with a flat chest," there is porn being made of it. Right now, or there already was porn of it.
Because that is the magic of friendship and also porn.
1. Oc's should have their own place. One can just as easily put them somewhere else with the same name but inherently Twilight Sparkle or any other canon pony is MLP based. Oc's not so much.
2. Pinkie because too random. That is all. Let your imagination take jumps to the worst possible places.
I'm kinda sure that Mexican intro is a fan made song, here is the nromal one:
Now to help Rarity, and clop to her!

As far as the "no OC rule" goes, it seems to mostly impact the bronies and Sonic fans.
Something doesn't have to be a copyrighted property, specific TV show or a recognized celebrity to be on Rule34.paheal.net. The site posts porn of trees and other inanimate objects, for crying out loud!
rule34-data-000.paheal.net/_images/404deb19886b6de448f9555b1fdb77eb/454669%20-%20animated%20inanimate%20shopping_cart.gif
Rule34.paheal.net also has more than 4500 posted porn pics of characters from webcomics. Those are all original creations.
If the character isn't tied to an existing property, they'll post porn of it, but if it's a big-titted mare from Trottingham, then she's an "OC," which means that porn of her isn't allowed on Rule34.paheal.net.
The logic seems a bit sketchy.
1057970 Ah I see. Well if I were to be perfectly honest I like them all for different reasons. Though I can say Applejack is my fav(following close behind being Twilight) but if I were to pick one...I guess Pinkie Pie mostly because she is incredibly hyper all the time. And that would wear me down.
You put way too much time into this... NOW ON TO FAPPING!
Rarity needs to be number 1!
I think OCs should be considered. I tend to browse e621 and they allow OCs under the My Little Pony tag. OCs can be bad, but the porn sure isn't!...well not all of it anyways.
~Have a good one.
I love that arr of the dressh thing... Though i think that he misinterpreted flutters thing a bit. Its not the idea of a client who thinks they can talk with you as an equal, its a cliant who really can.
Doctors make bad sick people... Or something.
Its not a bad sort of client so much as a brutally intimidating one. But if you have confidance in your capacity (usually brought about by said knowlegable client coming to you) then it usually works out...or the project fails
Well, I'm honestly not sure who my least cloppable pony is, but I can confirm that Applejack and Rarity both rank very highly for me in that department. I enjoy all of the others as well, but I doubt I could pick a least favorite from among them.
I think Paheal needs to have more fair rules. Sonichu should not be allowed if OCs are not. Though I suppose a pony site could host Rule 34 ponies but they wouldn't have the same clout as Paheal.
Out of the Mane 6, I would have to say that either AJ or Pinkie are my least favorite. They have they're moments but I just don't like them as much. Top two for me are Twilight and Rainbow, which I find funny since I like learning and am also athletic. Do the ponies we like somehow reflect ourselves? Third is generally a mix up between Rarity and Fluttershy, but this position is very fluid and can have AJ or Pinkie jump into that spot depending on what story I have recently read.
These blog posts still crack me up. The data, the seriousness, as well as the little jokes tossed in all culminate into a very enjoyable read. Even if I do not frequent paheal or other sites looking for clop, I still understand a lot of what you write about. And yes, despite reading many "clop fics", I don't peruse through clop art.
Bronystories, what's the history of Cinco de Mayo?
1. on rule 34 2. Rarity. Reason: Element of "Generosity". Supposed to be so, but can get so greedy and mostly thinks about herself, her looks and what she owns
1. No, pahel is for porn of the show, not every bit of fanmade content.
2. Fluttershy. I can see why others like fluttershy, but i hate her doormat personality. This is also because of the fandom; she is almost never portrayed correctly, ranging between the doormat of doormats or a crazy dominatrix psycho.
As long as the OC is well-designed, I won't mind if there is porn of it. For example, zajice's OC, Lilith:
derpicdn.net/thumbs/1900/900/2012/09/27/23_48_11_761_108113__UNOPT__artist_zajice
Oh god, why am I so exhilarated with the idea of mlp becoming the number one porn producer...
Rarity is great looking an' all plus she's really girly and just plain cool imo, but I don't clop to her and she just doesn't have what takes to attract me like Rainbow Dash or Applejack.... I need MOAR dominant females!
Personally I think there shouldn't be OC's on Rule34.net, however i'm not against them showing up in other places like Derpibooru or e621. "Rule 34" is clearly for porn of existing characters from TV shows, comics, videogames etc while those other places are just popular hubs for pony and furry art in general, no reason why OCs should be blocked from those.
As for your other question I'd have to say Pinkie. I still enjoy porn of her but she's the one I look for porn least often because I know that I'll find way too much grimdark Pinkamena artwork. If I want some Pinkie Porn i'd rather have her be her loveable bubbly self!
Alright Applejack keep on churning out that smut, who says that apples are the only thing that has to get bucked at Sweet Apple Acres?
1. I can't see why not
2. I like all the mane 6 my favorite has been Applejack since I started watching but Twilight Sparkle became tied with her recently despite my objections to twilicorn. Rarity is my least favorite of the mane 6 because though the writers do a good job of balancing her positive and negative traits in the episodes the focus on her in other episodes all you see is her negative traits which is extremely annoying. Rarity has a lot of potential as a character which I would like to see come out, here is hoping we see some of that in season 4. They are all fappable though especially Applejack and Twilight so for me I don't think their is a least fappable one among them.
I think you should try comparing the stats on E621 and Rule34 because E621 is perfectly fine with OC's.
The number differences between the sites is pretty ridiculous as is.
Actually- Quick question- How do other characters compare, like celestia luna and discord?
1058562
As of right now on Rule34.paheal.net,
Discord has 391 explicit images.
Celestia has 1,487 explicit images.
Luna has 1,678 explicit images.
1058601
Discord, I am dissapoint.
Good to know the lunar republic is still showing thats its far superior to the celestial empire...
Rarity is best pone we need more porn of her end of discussion /thread
Personally I find Fluttershy the least attractive because of her innocence.
1. Yes.
2. FS.
1. No, I think it should stay canon. A lot of messed up people create messed up OCs, and then create messed up art with said OCs. We don't need that.
2.) Pinkie Pie is the least appealing character in my opinion. It's the motor mouth and the hair that just bug me.
