Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Nintendo of Japan doesn't file lawsuits against DS emulators either. Sony is a Japanese company; they sued Bleem and lost but that was more than 20 years ago. There are emulators for PS3, PS Vita, and PS4 - all platforms for which Sony still hosts network infrastructure and operates digital storefronts - and AFAIK none of them have been subject to legal threats.
Oh yeah... I remember Bleem. That was so so so long ago, lol.
Anyway my anecdotal evidence is just from three developers plus what I've heard from others who have worked at various companies. Still, I believe it when a Japanese dev friend is my wife practically went white in the face when I talked so publicly about my love of emulators, lol.
