A new cleanup update has been posted covering the recent Vault rework, rank changes, policy cleanup, and theme polish.
The goal is to make LC cleaner, easier to understand, and safer for the site going forward.

I like the idea. To see your favourite characters in lewd environment its great, but most parodies have bad art and even worse story. They also tend to be abandoned quickly.
A vast majority of parody games out there are just low quality. They don't even try to use the original source material in a meaningful way, most of the time the parody characters are just used as a "skin" for some generic character in a generic game.
I grew up in a different culture, I'm unfamiliar with most parody targets. Those projects where I can understand what is being parodied did not impress me. It's just not funny.
The first adult game / Adult VN I played that wasn't a flash game was princess trainer. Generally I am a fan of parody games, it's fun to see familiar characters in new situations. That said, there are a lot of bad parody games.
It needs to be an arousing game first and foremost, then adjusted to a Parody.
Also, a parody needs to look as close as possible to the source material. Amity Park is a good example. Early on it seemed like a great parody game because it resembled the original show. Then they changed the style and, even though the art was objectively better, it flopped because it looked like a cheap Anime rip-off. The original creator is now trying to go back closer to the original style while most of the rest of the team is starting their new game with the inaccurate characters.
