Iwata Asks: Miiverse Penis Drawing Detection Took Weeks to Develop

In a recent Iwata Asks interview about the Wii U Miiverse social network, director Yoshiomi Kurisu and his team discuss how difficult it was to create auto-detection of penis drawings.

"Yuzawa: You know what surprised me. No one drew a single vagina."

Of course not, people immature enough to do that sort of thing have probably never even seen one.

[NewMonday]

For the curious it looks like open mouth of the alien from Predator

:p

[zebramocha]

@thefinal that's what hd porn for.

[zebramocha]

@Griffin What does it matter that I'm a virgin?its not bothering me none.

[3-4-5]

uhhh? you sure about that?

[PopRocks359]

Dude, you got a bubble from me. That was funny as hell.

[chadboban]

Best comment I've read all week.

[adorie]

Picasso penis engage.

[Deku-Johnny]

I draw penises (peni?) on everything and I see vaginas everyday. Young ones, old ones, white ones, black ones, hairy ones, shaven ones etc. It all just depends on what I type in the search bar.

[stuntman_mike]

I thought you were gonna say your a gynaecologist seeing all those vaginas lol.

[gpturbo81]

staring at cocks for a week... lol

[stuntman_mike]

sounds like a TV show heh.

[gpturbo81]

dont give em' any ideas

[specialguest]

But what if you wanted to draw a mushroom?

[rainslacker]

Why would you possibly want to do that on a Nintendo console? /s

[chanmasta]

Dont-Read-This, did you not see "/s" in his sarcastic comment? He was kidding...

[rpd123]

Haha, that's funny. I never get why people draw penises though. When Black Ops came out that was a huge problem. It doesn't make me think they're awesome, it makes me think they're dumbasses.

Hope they have some Swastika detection, too, that's gonna be a problem.

[Ser]

The swastika is a religious symbol, not a symbol designed by Nazis.

[rpd123]

I know that, but do you honestly the people drawing it are using it to convey it's original sanskrit meaning? Or are they trying to be edgy and have a Nazi symbol as their gamer picture? And the vast majority of them are tilted the way the Nazi's tilted it.

[Ser]

Doesn't really matter what the majority thinks. The majority can't change facts, they can only interpret them the way they want.

You don't know for sure if they're using it as a Nazi reference.

What if a new evil regime rose up and started using the Christian cross as their official symbol? Would we all have to be afraid and cower every time we saw a cross? Not me, I'm not a moron.

(Also, lol @ the disagrees in my last post. Disagreeing with a blatant fact is really telling of one's intellect.)

[nunley33]

It's a fake story and this Iwata ask's didn't happen but it was still funny to read.

[dmonee]

Lmfao! What a job to have. Description: Must be able to recognize an infinite amount of penis pictures drawn a million different ways.

[konnerbllb]

If you read the article they said they spent the first week looking at real penises and then realized they should have been looking at drawn penises instead.

[Flavor]

And no one bothers to ask what's wrong with a drawing of a penis. Like it is going to scar someone for life...

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

Reminds me of that scene from Superbabd where that kid was just drawing dicks annd put them in a lunch box.

[HalfNerdHalfAmazing]

Penises lmao

[Unztayble]

I knew this shit was fake. Just by reading the headline.

[That-Guy]

Yes, it's fake.

[GraveLord]

O_O
Nintendo has a lot of work to do with Miiverse.
