    Free use is a kink. And “old enough” is like they are asking whether they can expand rule 34.

          That would make weird for the 500 year old dragons that look like children. They’re clearly violating the “half your age plus seven” rule, when they’re having sex with 45 year old overweight and balding Japanese businessmen in all those hentai manga.

          Right, and therefore those aren’t and could never be free-use lol

            And yet the dragons are free-use in every fanfiction I’ve ever written? And they love it, by the way. I write mostly Star Trek stuff.

              Do you usually have to clarify that you’re not talking about copyright law? lol

                I think it’s generally understood that Picard Breeds the Free Use Dragon Brood and similar works are protected under Fair Use.

                  Yeah, absolutely! Just like how if someone asked if an IP was free use in a public space you wouldn’t assume they’re referring to kink culture.
