Request to remove explicit pornographic links from external links and references[edit]

I am formally requesting the removal of at least the following external links and references from this article after having my edit reverted twice:

ref name="Sankaku">Artefact (2010-07-02). "The Evolution of the Ahegao". Sankaku Complex. Archived from the original on 2014-05-20. Retrieved 2018-09-20.</ref>
Hentai
Real Ahegao

The reasoning for their removal is these websites are nothing more than featuring explicit content without providing much, if any at all, information that properly covers what an "ahegao" is. The cited reference for Japanese with Anime does a much better job of universally explaining the term "ahegao" covering the etymology, usage, and both the Western and native Japanese interpretations and connotations of the term, all with picture examples of only what is necessary to convey, and nothing more than that. The article needs more examples like that, not explicit pornographic websites which contain contents that are considered illegal to possess in many nations.

This is not the name of a pornography site like Pornhub so there is no need to directly link one just for the assumed purpose of visually demonstrating an example of an "ahegao". The terms "oppai", "ecchi", "visual novel", "lolicon", and other related terms are fully capable of explaining what they mean and are without the need to provide links to explicit and illegal sites. Wikipedia isn't the place for such sites, I thought this place is supposed to be informative and/or educational, not masturbation-worthy. The last thing I want this place to suffer is a lawsuit or complaint from some overly-chaste/pious organisation or section of a nation's government all because they don't fully understand the nature of some Japanese word aside from its connection to a sexual orgasm(which in itself is too touchy for some people to think or converse about), and then they spot the porn site links. This is not a matter of censorship, morals, or "family friendly-ness"; I actively oppose those stances. Just a matter of some common sense. --72.234.12.37 (talk) 12:06, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not censored; I don't see any reason to remove the citation based on those grounds, especially since this is an article about pornography in the first place. However, I would probably support the removal of the Sankaku Complex citations for WP:RS. Sankaku Complex is not only self-published; they are essentially an anime/manga tabloid news site, often with highly biased and unreliable news. If subjected to an Anime & Manga Wikiproject RS review, I'm pretty certain that it wouldn't pass. Sandtalon (talk) 22:53, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ahegao § Trademark registration and lawsuit[edit]

Can this section be expanded, or linked to another article, for further explanation?
Is ahegao "a term in Japanese pornography" or is it an intellectual trademark? What I mean is, for example, VICE-GRIP is a brand name for locking pliers. While both terms are often used interchangeably, legally another company can't call their own locking pliers, VICE-GRIPS. But as I've mentioned, the language at the top of this article suggests that ahegao is a generalized term, in which case, the United States Patent and Trademark Office made a mistake in granting the patent.
I just think clarifying the distinction in regards to ahegao would be useful. — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 03:24, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was a false claim/mistaken decision, obviously--that's why Fakku filed the lawsuit in the first instance. As the history section details, it emerged from media culture/subculture in Japan in the '90s, and the ahegao shirt became a thing in the mid-2010s, and so a Chinese company claiming a patent in the late 2010s is a ludicrously false claim of intellectual property.
