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)?
My problem is that (or at least it sounded to me that way) that he wants not only to stop Grigori and people from sending him that stuff, but that he wants the artists to never under any circumstance create grimdark MGE stuff even if they are not to be shared with him and apparently neither having writers write grimdark MGE stuff.
I personally do not like gore, but I see no problem with fanfic writers writting grimdark MGE stuff, neither artists drawing said stuff as long as they do not harass KC like Grigori does.
And that's where the problem lies. They (they being people doing MGE snuff) have been, for years, metaphorically shoving it in the faces of KC and the people who enjoy MGE for what KC intended it to be. To repeat myself (again); if they hadn't been, it's highly likely that there never would have been an issue. After all, KC (and the MGE fandom at large) wouldn't have KNOWN about the stuff.
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)?
Not only has KC asked that graphic violence not be introduced into his world,
Sure KC asked about it, but I really can't understand why he doesn't want drawing of stuff HE MADE.
If lets say..... Grigori made art about aliens vaporizing monster girls or Adolf Hitler becoming a Khepri King and turning all monster girls in his kingdom into murdering Nazis.
Then yeah, I could see KC's reason for asking to not be drawn, its gross and it doesn't happen at all in MGE. There are no hostile aliens in MGE universe that vaporize monster girls. Monster girls, even servant types will not become murderous villains even if their husband and master order them to do so, indeed should such a guy give that order to his Monster Girl Army or Police, he should expect a Coup in the following minutes and either a very thorough reeducation sex session or being outright deposed.
But if you draw an Order Knight beheading a monster? Well, you are drawing something that ACTUALLY HAPPENS in MGE per the dictates of KC's. I really can't find the logic of KC, even if he personally dislikes it, to ask things like this not be written about or drawn, because he himself has written about them.
KC is pretty much God to MGE, all it takes him is simply releasing a guide or even a simple statement in his twitter stating something like "The Order can't kill or cause damage to any monster girl, even if they try. Also monster girls are always successful in protecting their husbands from death or grave injury at the hands of threats, so even if The Order has murdering intent, they are not a threat and monster girls treat them as some sort of amusement."
But no, he does not, he keeps the status quo which is that every so often, an Order Knight will succeed in beheading or otherwise killing a monster girl in a gory very gross way, as well as presumably a monster's husband.
Can he say that he doesn't want monster girls draw being killed by The Order? Yes, he is in fact doing that.
It just doesn't make any sense that he wants to stop the writting and drawing of stuff that he himself created and placed in the setting.
The fact that he acknowledges that there's violence in the world (that he actively plays down, by and large; not ONCE does he go into detail about beheadings and disembowelments) does not mean he has to be cool with you sending him snuff or trying to circulate it through his fan community, which is largely there because they're looking for monster girl porn that ISN'T as grusome as Violated Hero or MGQ.
Not all settings with monster girls are required to center on guro, vore, etc, which are things that KC personally finds incredibly distasteful. There's a reason his books are focused on the "porn" aspects rather than murder and torture.
If it helps, think of the MGE as MGQ-Lite. There's conflict, but the violence is HEAVILY glossed over. The fact that it is vaguely implied to exist does not mean that it is meant to be the central theme of the world, and it definitely does not mean that the setting was built with the intent of it being turned into gore-covered nightmare-fuel.
If you feel like you need murder-porn in your life, there are more than enough outlets for that along the Intertubes. In the meantime, KC has asked that his fans not add it to HIS setting; and it is HIS setting, make no mistake. At any time he chooses, he can simply shut the whole thing down and stop producing new content.
The staff of this wiki has chosen to honor his wishes, as evidenced by Jekkers' post. If you don't want to honor those wishes, that's your option. But keep it off of this wiki.
You don't have to LIKE Jekkers' decision, but you do have to abide by it if you wish to remain a part of this community.
The major issue with Grigori isn't that he just had some dark stuff done. It's that he takes it to seriously grimdark territory and, worse, has made a habit of all but assaulting KC with it. Seriously, the guy's directly sent the stuff to KC despite being asked not to.
I mean, that's the whole reason KC's gotten so up in arms about it in the past. People wouldn't just create this stuff for their own enjoyment, they would then try to force it on the community at large, and KC in particular. No matter how you slice the pie, that's a pretty shitty pie.
@RealityWarper
Regarding "what's wrong with that"?
Not only has KC asked that graphic violence not be introduced into his world, Jekkers has told you that it's not allowed here. That's what's wrong with it.
For anyone that doesn't LIKE that rule? You're free to take your custom elsewhere, if you so choose.
In Japan, rape fantasies are more accepted than they are in the US. Japan is the home country of the author of the MGE. It's fully conceivable that someone from that part of the world could write such a work.
You'd be hard pressed to find someone in the Americas or Eurozone who'd be willing to write it, though.
Rock on, Carth and Ochi.
You originally received a message from this thread because this thread was a community announcement. You began following the thread officially once you responded. That's how Wikia handles it. Everyone on a community gets announcements, and any time you comment on a page Wikia assumes you want to follow it. I think you can change that in the Settings, but the changes will take effect for ALL pages you comment on.
Books-A-Million carries adult stuff, yeah, but not illegal stuff. So whether it'll carry the MGE or not will likely depend on the legality of the loli content in your state/territory.
There's already about three books released by KC. Those will probably be released first.
Clearly we are not. If you dislike the community getting excited? Well, sit on it.
EDIT: Also, Flod, the person who wrote that copy probably has NOT read it. People who write copy often do not. That's why you get such idiotic blurbs on the back of DVD cases or game boxes at times. They get told 'about' the product, but they never actually read/view/play, so they muck it up.
Fortunately, whoever does their translation will have to read it in order to do so.
Do you think writing a story from Order perspective requires you to explain in fine detail how you extract someone's intestines with your bare hands, Ikoter? Or does it require you to explain how you remove their spine and skull Predator style, with a full accounting of every part of the process?
You know exactly what Jekkers means. You understand the meaning of "keep the violence low and details to the minimum." Don't pretend that it's some sort of deep and hurtful damaging of your perceived civil liberties. It isn't.
This isn't MGU. We aren't allowing/supporting/condoning the kind of behaviour that led to MGU's downfall.
You want to write a story about the Order? Fine. Just keep the violence low, and skim over the details. Hell, if you want to write a story from the Monster perspective that involves large battles? That, too, is fine. But you still have to keep the violence low and skim the details.
None of this is actually 'new'. These rules regarding violence have been in effect since last year; they just haven't always been fully enforced. Take Jekkers' post as an indication that we WILL be enforcing them going forward.
EDIT: If you're complaining about the ban on parody accounts? Tell me, how many of those accounts have not been used for purposes of trolling or causing other forms of drama?
I can answer that for you easily. The answer is "zero".
You know what he means, Ilias. Neither you nor Jekkers are purporting to be actual, real-world people other than yourself. Neither of you are claiming to be Vladimir Putin or Pope Francis or General "Stormin" Norman Schwarzkopf.
I think "keep it to the barest minimum needed to get the idea across" rather speaks for itself. No detailed accounts of how you eviscerate your foes, place their heads on pikes, etc.
Accidents happen. Now you know.
And knowing...is half the battle.
G.I. JOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE!!!
Receiving money does not necessarily make something "good" or even "not bad". Srsly, this specific subject could easily turn into a thread or two all its own with God knows how many differing opinions chiming in.
Say what you will about the public exhibition of people with assorted mental difficulties, the man is legitimately a doctor. That doesn't speak to whether what he does on his show is right or wrong, but the man does have a doctorate in clinical psychology. As such, he is not pretending, and he is not a charlatan.
Again, not saying one way or the other whether I agree with the practice of public shaming. It's not really my place to judge.
He sells buttons. He also does sell physical books, but they're only available at Japanese conventions or through Japanese retailers/web sites. He doesn't have any distribution outside of Japan at present.
Other MG material that might be worth looking at include (in the game range) Monster Girl Quest or the Violated Hero series, though those can both be a bit darker than MGE in over-all theme.
On the Manga/Anime side of things, there's Everyday Life With Monstergirls. Not sure there's really a whole lot else dedicated specifically to MGE-style monster girls. The MG genre as seen in MGE is a relatively recent-ish thing.
Technology level is actually something of a mixed bag, according to KC in the Kenkou Cross Q&A. There are areas where things are at a medieval level, but there are also areas that are at a more Victorian Steampunk technology level. There are also at least a few places in the world where advanced magical technologies exist, though KC hasn't specified exactly what those technologies are.
In other words, an author can legitimately get away with just about anything from swords to magic lasers; from trebuchets to mana bombs; and from horseback to car to magic flying bubble or magic-powered ride armor. Every last one of these things is available, canonically. It's just a question of the personal preferences of whomever is writing any specific story.
Fan-made mamono. That said, please don't use the thread title to ask your question in full, then repeat that question in the thread body. It causes unnecessary eyeball pain when reading your post.
There's nothing canonical about mamono being able to become different mamono. That said, KC leaves a lot of stuff open, so there's no reason there couldn't be spells for such things in a fan-fic.
