Disclaimer: Before you read any further I just want it to be clear that I am not a "hater" and I am not complaining. Also I'm not sure what words I can or cannot use here so I went with "suggestive" in place of something else.
I'm sure you guys have seen/played games on sites like Newgrounds that feature copyrighted characters in them. These games often feature suggestive themes. What I want to know is, how do these people get away with this? I don't get it. Is it because it's considered a parody? I remember asking something similar years ago and someone gave Robot Chicken as an example.
I guess I can see how a show like that can get away with it but these games are using character images, names, music etc. and they don't look tacky. If a kid were to see some of these, they might not be able to tell the difference. Anyway, I'm interested in exactly what these people do to get away with it legally. If I'm being too vague I'll name a couple of games so you can see for yourself what I mean.
