Ichigo is my favorite classmate. I guess she seemed pretty smug and I have a thing for smug, quiet girls.
I always took her as being a little spacey, rather than smug. I remember reading that there are plenty of doujins involving the classmates, and I can see why, there is all that scope for projection.
One of my first image results for Himeko was lewd, unsurprisingly.

It's more like Westerners like different tropes. Different tropes for different folks.
I don't think Azunyan is liking the way Jun is touching her in that orgy pic.
Smug might be too strong of a word. I used to think she was spacy too, but I think there was a scene that made me wonder if that was really true. I need to go find it.
I thought Shizuka was pretty cute too during the school festival.

I suppose it does move fast for what kind of thread this is, but I like it like this.
Well, it's a safe way to get sales at comiket if you put the K-ON! name on it.
Wasn't for me, just what have you been searching up in the past? hmmm?
I tend to search through blogs for images, and our definitions of what constitutes "lewd" is very different!
I'm not adverse to reading doujin, but I know if I just went searching and found lots of pointlessly pandering fan-service material, then I'd just get annoyed and not bother. So, has anyone got anything of note worth recommending?

Doujins are like 99% fanwanks. If someone recommends me a doujin, the first thing I always ask is if it's quality fanwank. Expecting it to not be fanwanking of some sort is setting myself up to be disappointed.
Well there's my answer! Seriously though, I meant more in terms of everything instantly becoming sexualized. Of course I expect a skewed perspective as it relates to characters and narrative, but so long as it's entertaining, that wouldn't bother me.
Someone linked me a Persona one once, I enjoyed it.

What do you consider lewd?
Considering doujins are often translated as fanzines, you're not really going to find ones that aren't fanservice-y, though there are plenty that are non-h. Though not a doujin, have you checked out the K-ON! Anthology Comics? It's basically a group of K-ON! comics done by guest artists.

I've always kinda wondered that myself.

If Japan's copyright laws are anything like the rest of the world, not really, unless you can claim them as parody or under fair use, but I doubt you could defend that. Technically that's how it is anyways, considering I've never heard any studio or mangaka sue over it, and I doubt they want to piss off their fan base anyways. And to echo what OceanBlue said, many probably see it as a way to get their work more known.
As it relates to fan-art, I don't really care for the sexualized stuff, not that it offends me or anything. I mainly just like to joke about the sheer amount of it. And this was the picture I was referring to, and all things considered, it probably just skirts being NSFW.
Chet, tell me if that is bannable, you have bore our sins in the past, after all!
EDIT: Considering this was just posted, I think I'm good! FAO Chet, I guess.

That's lewd, but not bannable. At least, there's no rule here in this thread against art like that.
Chet Rippo
Member
Have I not told the story?
Unknown Soldier

I think the rule pertains to in-lining images which are NSFW. If you link to it and properly tag it as NSFW, people don't complain because it's their fault if they clicked on it.
...Maybe
Chet Rippo

Yes, but you can't just link to porn or hentai and slap a NSFW and think you're safe.
Long story short, there are people in the Pokemon Community thread that complained about lewd art being posted, and I stopped posting art there all together.
It's just weird to see other anime basically promoting doing this kind of thing by having one of their characters draw doujinshi based on an anime within the anime. I'm looking at you YuruYuri!
Especially when it's technically not legal as Chet just described here.
EDIT: Now I have.
Oh, your banning. Yeah, I looked around after it happened, seemed innocuous, but internet politics is dumb.
But it's funny, so it gets a pass!

The thing about copyright law is that for there to be any action, the copyright holder has to bring the infringement case to court. And those anime studios/manga artists probably don't see any harm being done to warrant bringing anyone to court.
I'd say more, but I don't want to bog down this thread more about me.
There is nothing that isn't hilarious about it.
You are so getting PM'd.

IIRC Japan has no parody exceptions.
The thought of K-ON! being featured on the Japanese Disney Channel just randomly jumped into my mind.
It got me thinking that I would have loved to see a dream scenario, where Disney made a genuine effort to bring it across. I know that particular link was tenuous at best, but for them to at least have a hand in adapting some songs would have been cool. Because it's not like they don't have a track record for making ridiculously catchy tunes.
Seems like my pragmatic approach to dating in P4 (being a whore), now has some repercussions in P4G. Uh-oh...
Okay, I'm watching Disney songs on youtube.

That would make sense, though that said, I haven't heard any complaints about it.
That brings me back that I wish they had put more into actually localizing the dub for K-ON! rather than where it sits now as for appealing to the kind of people who would rather just watch it in it's original language anyways. I think if they put some effort into it, they could make it appealing to young girls in the west too.
Now that I think about it, that would have been really interesting to see. Disney uses some great voice actors.
You also have good taste in Disney tunes.
Chet Rippo

The voice talent for the dub I think is there, it's just they don't use them to their best abilities.
I see the rumors of your death were greatly exaggerated.
And the whole part there reminds me of the time I was in Chicago one time and there was a group of Japanese school kids in the same hotel as me.

There was one of those horrifying 3D videos that did something like that.
My name ends with Rippo, so I'm cleared of any suspicion.
That's not me anyways.
But it should be, Chet. It should be!
Aw, jeez, hovering over the order button for the Rightstuf K-ON! deal.
Because this worked out so well that last time.
Some wise old sage who has far more experience than I ever will in imagining perverted things. I'm actually a little jealous now.
Hah, I remember that one, but this one is in english!
Rightstuf is A-ok in my book, I see no reason not to order from them.

What I always aspired to be, a top comment on a youtube video!
To bad I seem to have forgotten my password for my youtube anyways.
Oh, they are, I'm still a little perturbed, regardless.
He, who controls the top comment, controls society.
People who post 'top' youtube comments are genuinely the worst.
