It's the tenth of the month, so you know what that means. That's right! It's time for another in-depth analysis of clop!

Without further ado, here's the latest Rule 34 statistics!
As of December 10, 2013, here's the state of Rule 34, according to Rule34.paheal.net:
Pokemon still holds the lead with 69,219 images. 1,572 new explicit images were added during November, giving Pokemon a 2.3% increase in porn from last month.
Touhou is in second place with 43,712 images. 483 new explicit images were added during November, giving Touhou a 1.1% increase in porn from last month.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is in third place with 42,244 images. 1,392 new explicit images were added during November, giving My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic a 3.4% increase in porn from last month.
DC Comics is in fourth place with 23,022 images. 181 new explicit images were added during November, giving DC Comics a 0.7% increase in porn from last month.
Street Fighter is in fifth place with 17,334 images. 196 new explicit images were added during November, giving Street Fighter a 1.1% increase in porn from last month.
Naruto is in sixth place with 16,900 images. 193 new explicit images were added during November, giving Naruto a 1.1% increase in porn from last month.
Marvel Comics is in seventh place with 16,510 images. 171 new explicit images were added during November, giving Marvel Comics a 1% increase in porn from last month.
Sonic Team is in eighth place with 14,783 images. 312 new explicit images were added during November, giving Sonic Team a 2.1% increase in porn from last month.
Digimon is in ninth place with 11,553 images. 154 new explicit images were added during November, giving Digimon a 1.3% increase in porn from last month.
Idolm@ster is in tenth place with 10,417 images. 22 new explicit images were added during November, giving Idolm@ster a 0.2% increase in porn from last month.
The fourth season of Friendship is Magic started since the last update, so I anticipated MLP Rule 34 to receive a substantial increase in content.
The first several episodes of season four certainly gave porn producers plenty of new material to exploit. While MLP's porn numbers improved over last month, they still couldn't compete with the output of Pokemon, which is currently riding a wave of new explicit imagery thanks to the release of Pokemon X and Y.
Pokemon deserves a special shout out, since it's the first series to ever generate more than 69,000 explicit images.
While Pokemon may have gained even more of a lead, the gap between second and third place continues to shrink. Touhou currently only has 1,468 more explicit images than My Little Pony. It won't be long before MLP finds itself in second place.
Now that we've gone over the monthly update for the top ten porn producers, it's time to analyze the latest data regarding Rule 34 images for the mane six.
As of December 10, 2013, here's the state of Rule 34 for the mane six, according to Rule34.paheal.net:
Twilight Sparkle
has 6,356 images. 288 explicit images were added during November, giving her a 4.7% increase from last month.
Rainbow Dash
has 5,456 images. 152 explicit images were added during November, giving her a 2.8% increase from last month.
Fluttershy
has 4,713 images. 141 explicit images were added during November, giving her a 3% increase from last month.
Pinkie Pie
has 4,686 images. 133 explicit images were added during November, giving her a 2.9% increase from last month.
Applejack
has 4,043 images. 123 explicit images were added during November, giving her a 3.1% increase from last month.
Rarity
has 4,024 images. 164 explicit images were added during November, giving her a 4.2% increase from last month.
Congratulations to Applejack and Rarity, who both reached 4,000 images!
Rarity also really narrowed the gap this month! She's still in last place, but only by 19 explicit images.
Special thanks to Infinion, who made these amazing graphs of the data I collected. [I will soon update the charts to reflect the current data.]
To start off with, here's the master chart of the top ten Rule 34 producers.
This chart represents more than three years' worth of Rule 34 data. In order to more closely examine the numbers, Infinion has broken the data into more manageable semi-annual charts.
Oct. 2010 - Mar. 2011.
Apr. - Sept. 2011.
Oct. 2011 - Mar. 2012.
Apr. - Sept. 2012.
Oct. 2012 - Mar. 2013.
Apr. - Sept. 2013.
Which brings us to Dec. 2013.
To get an idea of how far My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has come since its premiere, here's a chart highlighting the monthly numerical and percentage increase of MLP porn.
For those who desire a more consolidated look at the raw data, here's the numbers for the top ten porn producers, as well as their monthly increase.
Now let's take a look at the Rule 34 stats for the mane six. Here's their master chart.
In order to discover what these numbers mean, we'll need to delve deeper. In order to do that, we'll break down the data into semi-annual chunks.
Oct. 2010 - Mar. 2011.
Apr. - Sept. 2011.
Oct. 2011 - Mar. 2012.

Apr. - Sept. 2013.
Which brings us to Dec. 2013.
For those who desire a more consolidated look at the raw data, here's the numbers for the mane six, as well as their monthly increase.
Three years ago Twilight Sparkle only had 14 explicit images. Today, she has more porn drawn of her than any other individual character... with one exception. 
As of December 10th, 2013, Street Fighter's Chun-Li has 6,803 explicit images, while Twilight Sparkle has 6,356 explicit images. Nearly 40% of all Street Fighter porn is of Chun-Li. In contrast, Twilight Sparkle makes up just 15% of My Little Pony porn.
When My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premiered on 10-10-10, Chun-Li had 3,005 explicit images on Rule34.paheal.net. In the years that followed, Chun-Li would see her title as queen of porn challenged by an unasuming, adorkable purple pony named Twilight Sparkle. The following chart represents more than three years worth of porn data for Chun-Li and Twilight Sparkle.
What is it about this sexy Street Fighter which has prompted such peerless porn production? For more than two decades, Chun-Li has captured the hearts and hard-ons of fans throughout the world.
It's time to explore Chun-Li's history and find out why this feisty firecracker has garnered her the title "First Lady of Gaming."
Chun-Li's name translates into "Beautiful Spring." Officially, Chun-Li has no last name. She stands 5'7'' tall. Her measurements are B88-W58-H90.
Chun-Li is notable for being one of the first female video game characters. Street Fighter II was released in 1991. When Samus Aran was revealed to be a woman in the original Metroid game, it took everyone by surprise. While female characters like Samus Aran and Lara Croft exude masculine traits and mannerisms, there was no mistaking the gender of Chun-Li. She was a character who could embrace her femininity while still being considered equally as tough as the men of Street Fighter.
For 22 years and counting, her curvacious hips have been the stuff that wet dreams are made of. And of course, who could forget the appearance of Chun-Li's nipples from the shower scene in the Street Fighter II animated movie?
Chun-Li wears a traditional Chinese dress called a qipao, which has been altered in order to increase her range of movement. Her hairstyle is known as "Ox Horns," which is common amongst Chinese girls.
Chun-Li comes complete with a tragic backstory. She worked as an INTERPOL agent on the search for her missing father. It's later revealed that he was killed by M. Bison and Chun-Li swears to avenge her father's death.
There's been lots of questionable Street Fighter merchandise over the years. At one point Chun-Li was even made an honorary G.I. Joe.
Good grief! Just look at Chun-Li's man face! When Jackie Chan is a more feminine-looking Chun-Li, you know you've officially failed as a toy maker.
Believe it or not, Jackie Chan actually did dress as Chun-Li in the 1992 film City Hunter.
Chun-Li currently holds the lead for most porn of any individual character by 447 explicit images, but Twilight Sparkle is catching up fast. Once she surpasses Chun-Li, Twilight Sparkle will have more Rule 34 than any other individual character, which will make her the undisputed Sovereign of Smut. The Dowager of Dirty Drawings. The Empress of Explicit Imagery. The Ruler of Rule 34. The Princess of Porn.
The full import of this message is a little staggering. This is history in the making. Out of all the characters in popular culture, none other has risen through the ranks of Rule 34 faster than Twilight Sparkle. Even Pokemon, which boasts more Rule 34 than any other series, has no individual character with as much porn as any member of the mane six.
Thanks for reading and feel free to share any thoughts or opinions in the comments section. I'll be back next month with another Rule34 update.
The Spike gif confirms hemipenis... or his dick is so long, as a baby dragon, that he needs two hands.
I'm so proud of Twilight; when she beats Chun-Li, I'll make a Facebook post about it.
All hail Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Porn!
This reminds me of the stock markets, without the decreasing, of course.
If Twilight Sparkle does end up passing Chun-Li I doubt she'll hold the position for long. Once FiM is finished I can see the porn production going back to almost nothing unless MLP comes back with another generation that is just as good or better than FiM. Street Fighter on the other hand I can't see as ever going away. It's just too popular and has been around for so long that I can't see it disappearing anytime soon. Twilight Sparkle may rule in the short term, but Chun-Li has time on her side. Live fast and die young, as they say.
~Have a good one.
Holy shit, I am not sure how I feel about Twilight being the queen of smut. She is my favorite of the Mane 6 but I just feel slightly horrified that this has happened to her.
Oh my.
Maybe when they made her an alicorn it was to better assume the title of Princess of Porn...

I remember City Hunter. That fight scene has to be one of the most ridiculous ones I've ever seen.
It's times like this when I start to question life. I mean, a fucking pony is about to top somebody at having the most amount of porn images made for her. A fucking pony. This is my fetish, but the idea that Twilight will have the most amount of porn pics compared to any other character is just... mind blowing.
My brain can't.

Aww fuck! Didn't even realize it was that time of the month (though the ample bleeding from my vagina should've clued me in). Cheers to Twiggles, the soon-to-be queen of cartoon porn!
Maybe none of the pokemon characters have numbers like the Mane 6, but they shouldn't be too far behind. Misty was the source of my first weird feelings. She was my first combo of short-shorts and mid-drift, and my equivalent of undressing a Barbie.

It will be interesting to see. Nothing like this has ever happened before, so we have no basis for comparison.
People thought Trekies were a fad back in the day, yet they continue to flourish. MLP may see an eventual decline in porn production once new episodes of Fiendship is Magic are no longer being made; but we still have the comics. My Little Pony is IDW's best selling comic series, so I don't see them ending it any time soon.
1596095
Trekies being fans of Star Trek, yes? Star Trek is still around though with its movies and reboots.
~Have a good one.
1595727
I know. When you think about iconic sexy characters, what names spring to mind? Jessica Rabbit? Lara Croft? Twilight surpasses them all. Only Chun-Li has more porn than Twilight Sparkle, and that won't last for much longer.

Misty has the most porn of all characters from the Pokemon series. That being said, Rarity and Applejack both have Misty beat.
Twilight has nearly double the amount of Rule 34 as Misty.
Don't get me wrong, Misty is really hot.
1596101
By that same token, I can't see MLP going away after Friendship is Magic.
Will the fifth generation live up to its predecessor? Who knows? I'm just enjoying the ride.
1596120
As am I. Here's to seeing our Princess Twilight Sparkle become the Queen of Rule 34.
(You should make a blog post when it happens)
~Have a good one.
1596120
Honestly, I see it resuming a few years in the future with the CMC as the new mane(lel) characters, and our current girls making frequent cameos. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking. I still think it's possible.
1596118 Bronystories, babe, she's twelve!
Not sure why you had to go through the entire backstory of Chun Li. People think that pile of pixels is "sexy" because she's got meaty as fuck legs. Simple as that.
No, I'm more interested in why Twilight has so much R34.
Haha! I love all this random Chun-Li stuff.
I still have my street fighter cartridge somewhere.
1596210
You do make a good point. Fighting games aren't known for their deep storylines. Chun-Li's popularity is largely derived from her physical apearance, while Twilight Sparkle's appeal is driven mainly by her personality.
Well Princess of Magic needs to change her title when she gets over THAT milestone.
All hail the princess of pony porn, Twilight Sparkle. I think Twilight has grown as fast as she has both because she is the main mane 6 and because fandoms in general tend to attract people that are slightly nerdy and I guess alot of those fanboys want a girl that has that side to them. And Twilight has that sexy librarian vibe to her which is a very popular fantasy and one of my personal favorites as well.
I do wish Applejack had a bit more R34 though as I have always found a woman or mare in this case who is not afraid to get her hooves to be really hot. I always pictured Applejack as somepony who would drag you into the mud and have her way with you.
1596325
(Insert "dirty.")
I agree!

Jessica Rabbit and Lara Croft are one of the few. So are Zelda, Samus, and Krystal. Especially Krystal.
1596416
Here's the current number of porn on Rule34.paheal.net for those respective characters.
Jessica Rabbit: 2,478
Lara Croft: 5,063
Princess Zelda: 1,744
Samus Aran: 2,188
Krystal: 2,612
Also, Krystal's son is creepy.

Hmm... I was expecting more for Zelda.
And seriously? The artist couldn't go any farther in creativity in terms of color scheme and design? And he does look creepy.
Kevinsano's birthday, AKA "International FutaTwi Day", is a big part of the reason there was such a huge increase in Twilight Sparkle's numbers this time around. Over 50 new R34 images of Twilight, almost all of them Futa, were created for the occasion. I would expect a noticeable drop in the number of new images created for her by next month because of this.

If something is popular enough, porn of it will never cease.
An example is Digimon. There's still a steady flow of Renamon porn despite the fact that Digimon Tamers finished its original run in 2002. Hell, in general, there's still a steady flow of porn of characters from the first two seasons that finished their original runs in 2000/2001.
FIM is definitely at that level of popularity, at least within the internet. I don't see porn of it ever stopping in the next 10-15 years.
1596444
TBH, a lot of those endings from Starfox Command were creepy or outright nonsensical.
1596800
Never said it was going to. I'm just saying that unless the next generation lives up to what this generation accomplished I can see porn production slowing down greatly.
Digimon is still relevant because it's like Pokemon in that it still has lots of fans and never went away.
~Have a good one.
I bet that in the next month there will be a fanfic about that topic with said title and that pic under the quote as cover of the fic. If not I will be really disappointed in the fandom (and you Bronystories, I expect you to write a funny sexy fic about this theme if nobody else does so! Or maybe I try my hands on it, dunno though, exams are coming and they're really scary this time...).
What I would be interested in would be what kind of porn is made, like how many Futa-li pics are out there compared to Futalight pics or how many lesbian or how many straight or how many artists drew those amazing numbers. Though I guess if you would explore the last point you would sit on that for an entire month with no sleep and toilet pause.
Thanks for the rule34 update. Hope it will continue into the new year as well.

Well, its official,According to Rule34paheal, Twilight Sparkle has surpassed chun- Li, and holds the #1 spot, as well as the first character EVER to surpass 10,000 images in the history of rule 34!
