About
Nux Taku Being a Rule 34 Porn Addict refers to discourse and memes about YouTuber and VTuber Nux Taku's perceived inclination towards frequently referencing online pornography and Rule 34 content during his videos and livestreams. Many online humorously called Nux Taku a porn addict or gooner and criticized him and his fans for being edgy to the point of being cringe, related to the The Joke Is Porn meme. Discourse and memes about the axiom trended en masse in October 2023, directly following a clip of Nux Taku talking about the voice actress of Pomni in The Amazing Digital Circus, which was reposted to Twitter / X and then ridiculed.
Origin
Starting in June 2021, YouTuber Nux Taku began hosting Rule 34 tournaments on Discord with monetary rewards, uploading full-length videos to YouTube[1][2] during the year. The videos, along with many comments and quips made throughout his YouTube career, suggested that Nux Taku was, in general, interested in Rule 34 pornography.
Humorous backlash regarding Nux Taku's tendency to bring up Rule 34 porn unprompted predominantly surfaced on October 17th, 2023, when X[3] user @bendyjw posted a then-recent clip of Nux Taku inferring that he might recognize the voice actress of Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus, speculating that she'd voiced Rule 34 porn. @bendyjw satirically captioned the clip, "FUNNNNNNNY!!!!!!" gaining roughly 3.9 million views and 6,600 likes in one day (shown below).
