[Locked] Discussion: Unlicensed Content Removal

I'm beginning to get really sick of all of this legal crap. None of this mattered a year ago! I mean, come on! This isn't Saint FUCKING Peter's basilica! Underaged girls get fucked so silly it's a search option for God's sakes! Think about it! At least in the states, the distribution of sexually explicit images of anyone under 18 is illegal! By that standard, a vast majority of the content on this site, highschool girls in particular, is illegal! That doesn't even cover student-teacher relations, rape, beastiality, or any of the other debauchery filling this sight! I'm not on a crusade here! I read most of that!
On the other hand, if the issue is the artist not getting paid, they should have known that was coming from the gate! There exists places in the real world where art is displayed for little to no cost to the viewer! Not to mention most any porn in the world is free these days! Try porn.com, g-e-hentai, rule 34, pornhub, redtube, ALL FREE!!! Pay-to-View porn is DEAD! With all of this in mind, is morality REALLY our top priority?
Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars a month for better quality jerking, but it should have been solved LONG before I joined this site 4 years ago! Am I alone here? I'm an artist and my art has been used without my permission! But I don't gripe! The whole point of art is expression, not capitalism! If you're not okay with your porn being stolen, then make Coca-Cola ads! You'll get payed BIG for that, not to mention up front! Just keep your hands off my kemonomimi and let me wack it in peace!
Sorry, but I'm not sorry about this rant! I can't believe this is a FUCKING issue! Am I even reading this right? Are we witnessing a porn site trying to become an upstanding member of an industry? Are you FUCKING kidding me? This is like a criminal having limits! No, that IS what this is! You'be been hosting theft and piracy for years and suddenly you're like ", Oh, we're sorry!" Do you not make money off the ads? The annoying, intrusive, boner killing ads that appear whenever I try to jerk off? Just slide the whiners some of that! I've attended this site for 4 years and you suddenly stab me in the back because some fine arts jack ass thinks his work is worth paying for! News flash, pals: this ain't girl scout cookie sales! It's smut and it always will be! Just let smut be as dirty and immoral as it's always been!
You want to be morally upright? Then get rid of ALL the porn! Turn into a charity! Sell game art books! But don't you DARE call yourself a porn site if morals become a priority! AMAZON SELLS PORN, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, AND IT'S NOT A PORN SITE!!!
Finally, if this Is supposed to be constructive, then provide a counter argument with your "-1." I don't mind being told that I'm wrong or that you disagree with me! This Is just seriously bothering me! Argue! There is no reason to be shy! I really want to hear what the community thinks, here! I'm angry and I'm not alone! Tell me why I SHOULDN'T be angry!


Fairly certain that there was a legal ruling that art depicting underage girls was not illegal, or something to that sense, and hentai is considered a form of artwork, legally.

I don't know the exacts on it or anything like that, but I do know that some states made it illegal to look at underage hentai or artwork depicting children nude. It's part of the Terms of Service and when you check the, "I've read the ToS" one part of that is that you accept full responsibility should the content of Fakku be banned in your area.

I mean, guns and alcohol are illegal in several states, but you can still find websites that sell them online. The good thing about the internet is it has no real borders. What's legal in one country does not affect the legality of another country nor the content hosted in that country.

I am only posting this because I forgot how much content was lost and visited the site. I love Fakku but I love jerking off to simulated child porn even more. There can be a certain sense of art to the stuff, but we should feel bad for enjoying most of it.

Basically you shouldn't be angry because it is a privilege, not a right, to be given free access to a wide variety of society-condemned smut. That said, unless you take this is a time to quit (and I personally haven't committed any atrocities from this type of thing), you are of entirely of mind in finding a dealer who actually provides.

Well, this most definitely sucks... It's understandable and respectable that you want to make Fakku a "clean" site and all, but that's not how Fakku got to where it is right now, It's like backstabbing the huge % of the community that can't afford to pay for hentai...
It won't be the same for those who can pay either, since most of us will be leaving, and the community is what made Fakku so awesome...

At least there's a schedule, and you're giving people time, so that's something...


Quite true. I will satisfiy my fetish on another different hentai website... True be told the golden age of Fakku would be 2014, I personally believe the path it is going on now will probably not achieve or surpass it former golden age as it was in 2014.

And it all came tumbling down.

Now we need to wait and see if it rises a Phoenix, or simply remains a sad reminder of what it used to be.



(also, whats the ratio of unlicensed to licensed material on fakku?)

Probably like 99:1 if not more? All parody doujinshi and CG sets are right out, as are pretty much every other work that Fakku aren't themselves distributing.

I see. Recently i find some of the doujinshi are removed. And it was my favourites

I've been a loyal part of Fakku for 4 years, and I'm disappointed that this had to have happened this way. Two thirds of my favourites collected over those 4 years are gone without me having received any warning to at least save the titles. Was planning on buying books if I were to spot some that I liked, but I don't think I'll be doing that or visiting this site any longer. It would have been so much better if you had just removed the desired content but saved the titles for us. I'm saddened to leave a site that I love and have faithfully followed for so long, but it looks like it's time to move on. I see a very hard road for Fakku after this, but I wish you luck and hope you don't come to regret some of these choices in the future. It's been a good run!

About the export tool you are working on.
Will newer members be able to export content that was removed but they never got the chance to favorite it?
Will there be a list of what content/title was/will be removed when the time comes with the exporting tool? (I know it will be a pain in the ass to find/list every title that was removed, but I think if people are trying to export/find their removed content they should at least get to know what titles/content they missed are)

Wait are you kidding? The once beautiful and complete site of all sorts of doujin and manga has gone the way of money grubbing pocket liners?

This is a sad day indeed. Yes. Perfect plan. Let's turn our back on so many fans because we want to stuff our pockets. Then try to claim it's such a fantastic thing for the site and for fans. Yea My ass. You're not doing it because you want a "clean" site. You're doing it because you want money in your pockets. And you're shitting on the loyal fan base that has made you where you are in the first place.

Well, time to delete this site off my favorites list. I'm sure I know of some good looking sites that will be more then happy to snatch up the place of a decent site to go to for these things.

I discovered a lot of cool authors here, sucks that you plan to basically purge all that info.

No seriously, it really fucking sucks that you deleted that info. Goddamn it, there was some awesome stuff I had saved. 6 Years of history all gone. What a waste of my time.

Ugh, this is why cloud-based shit sucks. Only way to be safe is to hoard everything on hard drives and hard copies.

Been here for just one full year... And I'm frankly going to move on soon, Fakku is going the way of Lucious.Hentai just some site that I used to visit..

So says the lurker who only became a member to rant about having their precious free porn taken away from them. If this site were truly important to you, you'd have become a member sooner rather than reap the rewards without any participation on your part.

As you say, there are plenty of sites you can go to for a porn fix. Your absence will be neither missed nor regretted.

Though here's something that's on my mind. Artists who create their own, unique and original content, will they be able to release their work for free on Fakku should they wish to? There are a lot of comics and other stuff floating out there that I am pretty damn skippy sure is free for the masses. Not to mention its drawn exceptionally well.

I like to think of Fakku as a place where high-quality, well drawn hentai/porn is brought together and shared with a sizeable chunk of humans, male and female alike. So what's to say that we gotta have ALL the free stuff vanish? Can we do this? Cos I think we can. I got a feeling.

Well, that and two comics I've been toiling over for a good long time now that I really would like to throw up here. Just saying. Fakku is good about highlighting content, instead of it getting lost in the jungle of G.e-hentai.com

"Lurkers" like him have also been playing an important role in making artists and works known.
Dissing them like that is like biting the hand that has been helping you.

Absolutely, and we've already started working with some western artists to make their work available on FAKKU for free: https://www.fakku.net/artists/doxy

With all due respect, how does reading these works, without participating in any type of discussion or commentary, help to spread the word of an artists skill to others. I don't doubt Kinkykitten00's love for the works he/she has read on this site, but that doesn't make him/her an advocate. We all appreciate the works of these Manga/Doujinshi artists, or we wouldn't be here. If anything, it is the scanlation groups and translators who deserve our thanks for putting the works of those artist into the public eye when we otherwise would have likely overlooked them. Because of them, despite their dubious legality, Fakku has proven that hentai works can be marketable outside of Japan, but it also means removing the content that would hinder its move to publishing legitimacy.

Kinkykitten00's rant was nothing more than the cry of a child whose stolen toy was taken away and returned to its rightful owner. To say otherwise is to coddle an already spoiled child.

Lastly, I was not 'dissing' lurkers in general, but this particular one. I was a lurker too, for about a month, while I decided whether to become a member of these forums. If all you want to do is read these works, then by all means lurk away, but don't act like those who lurk are helping the market, or the artists who drew their favorite works. People don't sit around discussing hentai in their break rooms at work, it is in forums like this that most meaningful discussion of an artist's merits are discussed. So, if someone's not an active member of this site, why should I give their opinion any undue respect.

I respect the choice of FAKKU! to become invested into actual licensed content and it will be my first to go site when it comes to digital licensed content. However the removal of the Monstergirl and Tentacles tag broke my heart, I'll have to move on. Good luck on your endeavour, Jacob!

Well, of course I knew about the appearance of my legendary senpai Doxy-sama on Fakkyu :D I mean how could I not notice? But at least an answer to my question was given. And from you no less, Jacob-san-sama-senpai-kyun-chan-dono!

I'll take this occasion to remind everyone reading this that, if they want to read removed content, they can use the website in my signature. Please help me to improve it!
