Interview with Coastward On His Recent Sponsorship

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

So can we expect some tentacles and sperm monsters at tourneys now?

 

[Speed Stick 2400]

..Does this mean Hentai characters are joining Smash 4? No, we must go further....Food Mascots.

[TheDarkMysteryMan]

>inb4 they won't support Project M tournaments because of sponsorships

 

[Glyphagos]

 

[Effay]

THIS IS COOL ON SO MANY LEVELS. I NEED TO GET GOOD SO THEN ******* CAN SPONSOR ME.

 

[allison]

what the **** did I just read

Spoiler

Hehe, ****. I did a funny.

 

[Ningildo]

This was a very lewd interview. SmashCapps confirmed a perv.

I think this is pretty cool in breaking new territory in terms of companies that could be sponsors. As long as people don't throw too much of a fit and the sponsor promoting isn't too...showy, there's no real way this will brew a ****storm.

But this is the internet, so pop out the umbrella just in case.

So... what kind of posts are we going to get on here now?

Lots o' hentai, of course.

/sarcasm

 

[Pwii]

20NiiNii I feel dirty posting this

 

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

I always wanted to fit gud at smash and be sponsored by *******.
But now this guy will be that guy who is sponsored by porn.

Don't worry, there are many other adult sites that would stir up controversy. Maybe shoot for a sponsorship by Paheal, or e621.

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

I think this could be the beginning of a wonderful relationship between Nintendo and Fakku. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Miyamoto: Remember when we made a couple of short animated videos about the escapades of the Pikmin? Well, we've made more animated videos for viewing on our partner website Fakku of a very special variety...

 

[DavemanCozy]

This material is Ally Facebook status level of LOOOOL

 

[Takehiko]

I'm very jealous.

I'm super jealous, I've been reading so much futa there that you'd think they'll sign me.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

What's next?

Super Brazzers Bros?

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I have no idea what to think about this.

 

[SleuthMechanism]

...I don't even know what to say

 

[Kurogal]

Kind of disturbed organized hentai communities exist

Why? Are you saying that people are not allowed to get to together to share the things they like if it isn't something you approve of?

 

[Indigo Jeans]

Basically that

How dare people form an online community to discuss a common interest! Smashboards needs to go.

 

[Glyphagos]

Yeah no one needs to persecute others just cause they like something you consider a "vice"

 

[Shirma Akayaku]

Does he get NSFW merchandise too? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Shog]

what.
WHAT?

 

[TheHypnotoad]

Fakku is for scrubs who don't know how to get past the sad panda on Exhentai. Real hentai enthusiasts use Exhentai.

 

[UMR | donmk]

Fakku is for scrubs who don't know how to get past the sad panda on Exhentai. Real hentai enthusiasts use Exhentai.

Real hentai enthusiasts go to Japan and buy the hard copies to support the author.

Also, the year is most definitely 20HH.

[Duckus6]

Is this going to end like the Dota 2 sponsorship thing with YouPorn?

 

[Fancy]

custom hentai controllers incoming

 

[The_Woebegone_Jackal]

The more prudes this offends the better.

 

[Aninymouse]

The more prudes this offends the better.

Define "prude." And that's a fine attitude to have! "I hope I offended someone." What a callous thing to say.

Smashboards has, up until now, been a staunchly all-ages environment. You can't even say the English word that Fakku's name comes from, and yet here we are, advertising porn sites on the front page?

So I can't say ****, but you guys can advertise places I can see people ****ing? Where is the logic?

Now don't misunderstand me. What Coastword does on his own streams and channels is his responsibility, but the front page of Smashboards isn't the place to publicize his every exploit. I see this as a mistake on @ LiteralGrill part, and whoever oversees or edits what he posts.

Either keep Smashboards a family-friendly place OR don't. Don't flip-flop and flounder between the two. Show some spine. If you believe in tact and decency in the name of innocent eyes, uphold that standard. If you believe in freedom to flaunt porn sites, then don't play footsie. Go ahead, let it all hang out. Put your money where your mouth is.

 

[Aguki90]

Oh my god.
First Nintendo gonna target Playboy to show Bayonetta 2.
Smash players sponsor Fakku. Because...
REMEMBER FOR KIDS!
and Robin gonna be like, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

In reality this pretty akward moment.

 

[DestinNotDustin]

Congratulations Coastward! A sponsored Ganon player, nonetheless!

For those who do not know, hentai is a subgenre of the Japanese genres of manga and anime, characterized by overtly sexualized characters and sexually explicit images and plots. FAKKU is by far a website not safe for work and those interested in learning more about the company should take care and follow all pertinent laws involving the viewing of adult related materials.

I can't say we were advertising them hard, we warned people full and well what the website was and if they don't want to see that kind of thing to NOT go look., We never directly linked the website at any point in the article either, you HAVE to go out of your way to find this stuff after the article, and if you DID go out of your way you probably either wanted to see it or knew what you were getting into. People can take some responsibility for their own actions as well.

Now don't misunderstand me. What Coastword does on his own streams and channels is his responsibility, but the front page of Smashboards isn't the place to publicize his every exploit. I see this as a mistake on @ LiteralGrill part, and whoever oversees or edits what he posts.

Well I guess calling @ The Derrit and @AlphaZealot for this one as they gave me permission to write the article. Whether people like it or not this IS Smash news and is about a subject we're all going to have to think about and face now. I wont turn away from reporting something just because it may hurt some people's sensibilities, I'd rather have them see it in the safe environment of Smashboards that to randomly run into it elsewhere. The original Tweet of the sponsorship shared on reddit had a direct link to FAKKU's Twitter, which I wouldn't visit unless you want to see something RIGHT in your face. :|

Either keep Smashboards a family-friendly place OR don't. Don't flip-flop and flounder between the two. Show some spine. If you believe in tact and decency in the name of innocent eyes, uphold that standard. If you believe in freedom to flaunt porn sites, then don't play footsie. Go ahead, let it all hang out. Put your money where your mouth is.

I would still maintain we are a family friendly website. We aren't flaunting the website, we're telling people "yes, someone in Smash was sponsored by a facet of adult industry" and we talked to him about how that went and what he thinks it means for our entire community which will have to deal with the development whether they like it or not as it HAS happened. We have had to cover other sensitive topics in the past and not turned away, and I hope we wont in the future either.

 

[Kuraudo]

Kids gotta learn about sex-education sometime. Face it, the pictures are probably way more interesting than the ones you get in education books anyways.

"Mommy, when do I grow tentacles?" /fork drops at dinner table

 

[Splash Damage]

This whole thing has blown way too far out of porportion and I love it.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

Look at the original post you're referring to. In his comment @PsychoIncarnate did not suggest the entire hentai community be abolished because he doesn't approve of it. He simply said he's disgusted about it, that's it. He didn't say anything about forcing this disapproval of his, just that it exists. Seems like you two are just over-reacting.

 

[Solfiner]

The next logical step is of course for Fakku to sponsor playboy models playing Splatoon.

I never said they said that. I am simply expressing my disgust that people got together and formed an organised community over smash bros.

 

[The Derrit]

Lots of things

You're welcome to not like it, but this is news, and something that the community will be dealing with whether you like it or not now that Coastward is sponsored by them. Better to address it directly and respectfully than pretend like it doesn't exist.

There are no references, links, or suggestions to view any offensive content at any point during this article. Anyone who has chosen to explore that avenue further has done so at their own risk, and with proper warning.

From here on out, if you're here to argue the merit of this content being on Smashboards, don't. You have been warned. You are, on the other hand, welcome to say that you don't like Coastward being sponsored by an adult community, etc.

If you have any problems with this, send me a direct message. If it comes up here, you will be penalized.

Oh my god lmao.
