Rule 34 means “If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.” This is an imaginary law that states that if there’s any conceivable idea that could be turned into pornography, then that type porn already exists. This refers specifically to the immense ubiquity of porn materials across the internet, which cover a wide range of subjects that are considered socially unacceptable or just plain bizarre.
Rule 34 has become a common reference when a person encounters pornography that they believe to be unusual, extreme, and/or disturbing. Strange sexual cartoons would be included, or non-sexual images that appear to depict genitalia (such a carrot that resembles a penis), are often cited as examples of Rule 34.
Rule 34 has also become an adult drinking game, which involves friends getting together, coming up with a bizarre idea for porn, and then searching for it until someone finds an example—once again, proving the accuracy of this lovely rule.
The concept of Rule 34 inspired a science fiction novel also titled Rule 34 , by Charles Stross, which went on to be nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award and the Locus Award in 2012.

This is not meant to be a formal definition of Rule 34 like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is
rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of Rule 34
that will help our users expand their word mastery.

Welcome to a sneak preview of the new design for Wikipedia!
We would love your feedback on our changes
Rule 34 ( Portuguese : Regra 34 ) is a 2022 Brazil and France co-produced drama film directed by Julia Murat and starring Sol Miranda . The title of the film is based on the Internet phenomenon Rule 34 . Structured as a series of short episodes, it follows a young law student who develops a passion for defending women in abuse cases. At the same time, her own sexual interests lead her into a world dominated by violence and eroticism. [1]

The co-production between Brazil and France, distributed by Imovision [2] premiered at the 75th Locarno Film Festival on 10 August 2022, [3] where it won the Golden Leopard for best film. [4]

Rule 34 is the third feature film by Brazilian director and screenwriter Julia Murat. The film's title refers to the so-called Rule 34 . It is an internet maxim which asserts that Internet pornography exists concerning every conceivable topic. [5] The project was part of the 2019 Berlinale Co-Production Market. [4] Murat wrote the screenplay together with Gabriela Capello, Rafael Lessa and Roberto Winter. [1]

Filming took place in 2020. Having lacked the money to complete the film, Murat received a € 35,000 grant in July 2021 as part of the Gothenburg Film Festival. [4] The money came from the festival's Audiovisual Fund, set up at the initiative of the Swedish government to protect democracy around the world. [1] [6]

Independent Swiss journalist Michael Sennhauser saw a playful, cleverly argued film "with a clear provocative twist". As with the competition entry Tengo sueños eléctricos , which received three awards in Locarno, it “clearly plays a role” that there is a female director behind the work. "Precisely because it [the film] moves in this area where personal freedom only works as long as they mutually agree that encroachment is negotiable," stated Sennhauser. [5] Neil Young writing in Screen Daily also saw a "surprise winner". It is "a fascinating and ambitious third feature film" and "a sensual, intimate character study" by Murat. Newcomer Sol Miranda put on a "strong central performance" by a "multifaceted black woman [...] in bustling Rio de Janeiro." With her play, she penetrates the didactic tendencies of the screenplay and the theoretical treatises disguised as dialogue. Young, however, criticized the "stylistically conventional" images by cameraman Leo Bittencourt in comparison to the red-hot topics dealt with, which are kept "pervasively flat in TV style" and would therefore hardly lose their impact on the small screen. The climax of the film is the final 75-second shot of Simona's real-life meeting with her online follower. Lead actress Miranda shows a "convincing range of emotions" and the close-up is reminiscent of Greta Garbo in Queen Christine (1933), Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday (1980) and Mia Farrow in The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985).

Home » How-To » Memes » Rule 34 Meaning, Origin, and Memes
If you’ve been on the internet for long enough, you’ve probably come across “ Rule 34 ” before.
It is a rule/axiom of the internet that was created in the early 2000s.
There are comments, memes, and videos about it on social media platforms and other websites.
As you might have guessed, rule 34 is just one of many rules of the internet that were created by 4chan users.
It’s meant as a guide for those who identify themselves as part of Anonymous, a hacker group.
This article contains the rule 34 meaning or definition, its origin, and memes of it.
Rule 34 means if something exists, there is p*rn of it.
The rule usually comprises NSFW art of cartoon and video game characters.
There are several variations of it, but the original contains the “No exceptions” phrase.
Those who spend a lot of time on the web will agree with the rule due to its prominence.
Rule 35 was created as an extension of the rule—which explains that if there isn’t p*rn of something, it will eventually be created.
Rule 34 is popular on blogs, YouTube, Twitter, and other social networking sites.
Its search interest has been consistently increasing throughout the years—peaking in May 2021 and Jan 2022.
On Reddit, there is a dedicated subreddit/community (r/rule34) for it where users share their art.
The subreddit has over 2.3 million members and was created on 28 July 2008.
If you go down the rabbit hole, you can find tens of thousands of rule 34 categories.
NSFW artists are the ones behind these fanart and animations.
It’s a lucrative form of art because people are willing to pay to see lewd drawings and animations.
They monetize their art by selling it or charging people to view them.
They also make money from commissions.
Platforms that they use include Patreon, Gumroad, Redbubble, and more.
The origin of rule 34 is from a webcomic titled, “Rule #34 There is p*rn of it. No exceptions”.
The comic was made by TangoStari in 2003 to express how shocked he was to see Calvin and Hobbes getting s*xualized.
In 2007, a list of 50 rules called “Rules of the internet” was shared on 4chan.
The rules are meant as a guide for the hacker group called “Anonymous”.
In the Encyclopedia Dramatica (a troll archive), the list contains only 47 rules.
Since its creation, rule 34 has changed multiple times—but it’s still agreed upon by many internet communities.
Multiple definitions of it can be found on Urban Dictionary, an online dictionary containing user-submitted words.
The majority of the definitions are similar, with the most liked one being, “A generally accepted internet rule that states that p*rnography exists for any conceivable subject”.
Since its creation on March 30, 2006, the definition received over 22k likes.
The meme above is a popular rule 34 meme template.
The top of the meme contains 3D models of dragons while the bottom of it is a picture of Mr. Incredibles saying “It’s showtime”.
This suggests that rule 34 artists are definitely going to s*xualise the 3D models.
The concept of the meme is to make fun of Rule 34 artists because they are able to s*xualise anything.
You can replace the top of the meme with almost anything and it’ll still be relevant.
In early 2021, the Samsung mascot, Samantha Samsung was announced.
The mascot surged in popularity because many people find her attractive.
This led to a rise in rule 34 fanart of the mascot.
A subreddit dedicated to it was even created—r/SamsungGirlr34.
It was created on May 31, 2021, and has over 185k members.
Reddit is one of the more popular social networking sites that allows rule 34 art.
Many artists use it to promote their work because it has a huge variety of subreddits/communities.

If it exists, there is porn of it — no exceptions.

Supposedly originating and popularized by the 4chan Image Boards , this was the first near-universally agreed-upon Rule Of The Internet . It is so well founded and documented with irrefutable proof that even those with only a cursory awareness of the Internet are aware of this rule even if they don't know it has a name.

While the original architects of the Internet had grandiose goals of research and data sharing, the second it fell into the hands of Joe Everyman , it became a tool for one thing and one thing only: pornography ! Now, it's not that everyone online is just looking for pornography; it's just that it's very very easy to come across. Even if you're not looking for it! Don't believe us? Do a Google image search (filters off) of, well, pretty much anything. Sometimes even with the filters on .

The key reason the scope of it is so wide and bizarre lies in what some have come to call Rule 36 : "If you've thought of it, then there's somebody out there with a Fetish for it." (And incidentally, by "it" we mean "anything that exists in the world.")

There's also Rule 35 , basically a guarantee that Rule 34 will remain true : "If there is no porn of it, it will be made". This basical
