Rule 34 is a long-standing NSFW panfandom booru. On the website, anything is allowed, though there is a "quality control" standard. It is a fanart archive featuring many artists, though art from these artists were not uploaded by the artists themselves and were done so without their consent usually.

Many fanworks which have been removed from social media platforms, either by its hosts or the artist themselves, such as The Aletyler Video, have been preserved online thanks to this booru. It hosts nearly 8,500,000 fanworks as of 2024, including primarily 2D art, 3D animation and fancrafts.

It has its own wiki, tag list, art galleries based off of a specific theme/character/media, and forum.

iCame Top 100

There is a feature on the website which allows users to "come" on a particular post, similar to a like/kudos feature on social media platforms. The list was introduced in 2022. For a full list of the top 100 as they appeared on December 31st, 2022 and December 31st, 2023, see here and here.
