Japanese people are discussing a chart that shows which franchises receive the most adult fanart from fans, you know? It’s very common when an anime or a game is released for artists to start working on adult illustrations, videos, and cosplays of that anime.

Japanese people commented on the rankings:

“Surprisingly, the world of Pokémon is unbeatable even in the p*rn world. By the way, the Pokémon with the highest ranking in the character category is Lucario. The world is full of furries…”

“This is what they call ‘diversity’ (((;’ω’;)))”

“Why is DC more popular than Marvel? I’m curious about the reason.”

“I felt the insanity with My Little Pony and Sonic.”

“Probably, the first and second places are of the same type and are being consumed in that way. The human category is probably as large as that of Touhou.”

“Where is One Piece?”

“Is it legally appropriate to count Fate, which was originally released as an adult game for ages 18 and older, as a p*rnographic version?”

“It’s a common perception that there are many furries, so I kind of understand, but it’s crazy that My Little Pony is in second place…”

“It’s understandable since Pokémon has many cute trainers.”

“Although adult content of Sonic is rare in Japan, being in fifth place means it’s a fairly popular genre overseas…”

“My Little Pony is weirder than Pokémon, actually.”

“When you browse foreign secondary erotic image sites, almost only Pokémon erotic stuff appears (sometimes with female trainers). There’s no way around it, right? Oh, now I remember, there was a time when the internet was filled with pony pornography…”

It seems that seeing Ponies is really strange for the Japanese. The complete ranking is available here.
