Here is something that I wanted to ask you, can Nintendo sue you for making rule 34 artwork of their characters
 
no they can't, why not send it all to me for good measure (for no particular reason)
 
They COULD, it's just that the time, money, and effort in trying to put a stop to it is nowhere near worth it.

Also why are you asking this.
I saw a post about companies suing 34 artists drawing pictures of their characters on Reddit and I figured I'd ask everyone about it, heck even chuck e cheese's threatened to sue Mr nightmare for making a creepypasta about their mascot
