I find KC's request to not have murder stuff sent to him or his jap fanbase if he doesn't like it perfectly reasonable. However my problem is when he basically implies that he doesn't want it to EXIST AT ALL, even if it is never sent to him and is just done by artists in a corner of the internet.

I greatly respect KC and MGE is my favourite MG setting, precisely because is not as dark and more waifu happy than settings like MGQ, where you have to turn yourself into a legend if you want to marry the high level monsters (lets be honest, most Heavenly Knights wouldn't even give you the hour of the day if you were not the Chosen Hero Luka)

However I simply find it ridiculous that he wants to actively block artists from drawing stuff that HAPPEN IN HIS SETTING. Unless you want to tell me that Order Knights never murder monster girls a picture of a Knight beheading a monster is a picture of something that happens in MGE per the rules of KC and while he doesn't have to like to see pictures of it, it is simply ridiculous that he simply doesnt want to EXIST AT ALL pictures of stuff that he himself created.

I am not saying I will not abide by the ruling, I am just expressing how ridiculous I find it to be, even if I personally do not like murder porn.

You can find it ridiculous all you like, provided you abide by the rule.

He has every right to ask people not to do certain things. He may not be able to force the issue the way he would like, but he can ask. And the vast majority of artists will likely go along with it, out of respect for the man.

This community, and communities like it, will mostly agree to do as he asks and not host such materials, out of respect.

See, that's kind of the thing about genuine fans. They're respectful of the franchises they enjoy, and their creators.

They don't say, "Well I'm gonna do WHATEVER I WANT because FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHY!"

Those fans that do behave in such a manner tend to eventually find themselves ostracized by the fandom as a whole. That's sorta how fandoms work.

Is it right and fair for fandoms to do such? Well... Yes, actually. It is right and fair for a community to decide it has certain standards it holds to. And it is right and fair for that community to put out those who decide they're going to be dicks just for the sake of being dicks, if said communities decide they aren't going to tolerate it.

There's no reason, for example, that I should have to put up with someone like Grig throwing murderporn in my face. It runs counter to the central themes of the setting that I enjoy and, in point of fact, is something that makes the setting less palatable to me.

And to repeat, in response to this specific point:

I'm having to repeat myself here - The entire reason KC started this little crusade was specifically because assholes kept sending him murderporn, despite being first asked, then told not to. He's stated as much.

So it WAS sent to him, and was NOT just done by some artists in their own little corner of the internet.

Now, do you want to tell me why he's wrong to act against people who've been actively malicious towards him (of whom Grigori is one)?
