Sorry, but this argument already fails, if parents are buying a M rated game, to kids. And it techncally was. The mod was using abandon code that was made for the game, in the first place.

But GTA San Andreas had explicit sex. It was possible to make sex with Carl's Girl Friend.

And so? M and AO rating are sperated by 1 year of age. If countries weren't up in arms about the AO rating. This sex mini game, would of been kept in the main game. My argument stands. The moment people say "kids", you can't argue. We have a stripper dance mini game, in GTA V. Are you going to say V is acceptable to kids?

Wow, and I thought I'm a cynical bastard. I have a firm belief that the vast majority of fan works and especially the biggest projects are made because they love the IP and want to contribute. There are easier ways to seek attention.
People who dedicate hours and months to create artworks or games of their favorite IPs are fans. They don't demand money for their works, they just want to share it with the community and they're certainly not hurting Nintendo in any way.
People need to understand the difference between fair use and plagiarism. Of course I'm not talking about blatant ripoffs in appstores that are merely skins on existing shitty games. Then again unless they're sold for actual money, it's still legal to make them. The bigger Prjects like Pokemon Uran for example are works of love for the IP.
What are we seeing next? Nintendo cracking down on youtube videos for using their footage to review or criticize their games? Oh wait, they're already doing that. Because they're dickheads and think they're above the law and try to strongarm anyone to abide by their rules.

Fair Use is simple but yet complicated at times. Sure I think it applies to making commentary through art and videos (though that's kinda in a gray area like showing movies and tv shows on YouTube)

It's not a grey area. As long as you're doing transformative work, on the content. It's a grey area, if you're doing those react videos. And showing the whole video etc. I've personally dealt with the automated system on YT, in my review videos. I filed counter claims, and won them. Because I followed fair use, to the letter. Companies will be dicks on YT, regardless. I've had to wait the full month window, for them to drop it.
