Yeah, definitely paint me as the out of touch one for not laughing at children unwittingly being exposed to porn in a Mario game.

Some hackers start putting porn on their Switch profile pictures
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
All i can think of is the old 2007 TF2 trolling video where the dude sprays porn on walls.
Some people will actually ask for the sauce.

1) DLLs on ARM?
2) A Switch on older Firmware needs to be able to view profile pictures introduced in newer FWs, that's why it's synced and not picked from a local file.
in before "Nintendo banned my switch with no reason, I just got it back from a friend, no idea what he did"
That's exactly what I said to myself when I first saw your avatar :P
Still, it's pretty disappointing there's no way to report abusive behavior on the system whatsoever. You'd think it'd be a part of the system day one...
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
I know little about ARM, so that's on me :P
THis looks funny or harmless to some (not me) but yeah, you are potentially exposing childs to pornography.
If a person showed a pornographic image to a minor, he or she could probably get to jail.
If think they should treat the people who modded their pictures to show that filth knowing children play wii and would see it, as such.
Just to set an example. Track the persons with modded porno pictures and prosecute them. Have a US judge look at the situation, also to send a message that exposing children to pornography, even in a videogame, is illegal

lol wow k
And yeah huh I didn't realize there was no way to report this. Bizarre for a family friendly system.
I immediately laughed my arse off until I quickly realised that kids are going to see this shit... This needs to be fixed asap.
I really hope Nintendo has an easy fix for this though because if not they're going to have absolute nightmare on their hands.

What Voice chat?
You can't report people on Switch. Had enough racist and Nazi profiles that I wanted to report... Yet no option. You know it's bad when the fucking WiiU had a better online system.
That could be a bit hard with all the legitimate custom Mii profile pictures...
...wait, hold on. the devmenu? like, straight up? oh, wow. the switch isn't even that old! wonder what nintendo will do? that's crazy. if that's true, the avatars might be the least of their problems.
Aw fuck, I forgot about that.
Yeah, someone was lucky and got a dev unit, probably the first ever in the wild.
Yep, though only certain games support it, like Splatoon 2. Mario Odyssey? I don't think that'll work, haha.

Yup. All the encryption keys from the devkit have been posted online.
As an interesting note: the devkit has access to special Nintendo lotcheck servers. That's how hackers were able to datamine the Splatoon 2 3.1 update a few days before it released.
When the community handwaves something like hacking a machine away as acceptable, this will happen.
Whenever something like this happens, I always think of Holden Caulfield being pissed off at people who scratch "Fuck You" into public places where kids will see it and ask what the word "fuck" means.
I get where dude is coming from on that one.

Very smart of these "hackers".
As of now Nintendo is only banning accounts/consoles that try to play their pirated software online. With shit like this spreading it cant be too long until they band everything homebrew related.....thats why we cant have nice things.

I made a post weeks ago saying a console ban for hacking stuff that didn't seem to have an effect on other players in Splatoon 2 was extreme but I now see what it can lead to. I'd like to walk that post back.
I bet Nintendo can easily catch these guys by just querying the account database. Either way, these people will be banned. If Nintendo is smart, they will also ban the Switch the person was using.
First Labo introducing kids to programming, now this introducing them to the miracle of life... Nintendo are really on a roll with the educational stuff, aren't they?
User warned: Don't downplay the possibility of children being exposed to porn.
Well sure it is bad and Nintendo needs to fix it, but come on, it's a little funny. It's an absurd situation and it's ok to have a chuckle at it.
Edit: Already quoted a few times, but editing this to be less stupid as I clearly crossed a line.

They should just change the system of setting mii character avatars to be rendered on server side
I don't think there's any need to ever upload predefined avatars, since they can have all of them preloaded on server too
They will lose sleep when their console and account are banned. Remember, paying another $300 for a new Switch plus $20 for a new Nintendo online subscription hurts.
Wow, that's absolutely disgusting. Can't believe some people would laugh at this. Just think of kids being exposed to open like that...
Yes, those people are mean-spirited, no reason to risk it.
I'm gonna present this without comment and it will be my last post in this thread.
A concerned parent posted on Reddit about the situation telling about how he discovered the pornographic images on his child's game.
As this isn't supposed to happen, there's no way to report a profile on Nintendo Switch for their profile picture.
Mario doing the infamous...
LOL how short sighted can you be even if YOU are ok with that kids don't need to see some 30 year olds floppy fucking man meat. On top of that who is to say assholes wont be uploading gore, shit, animal fucking, pedophilia and so on.
No this shit is fucking horrible.
I agree, they should! But that's not something they can implement quickly (would require hardware provisioning, server-side software development *and* a firmware update).
There's not a quick, easy fix for this and given the potential fallout I'm interested in knowing how Nintendo will deal with it. Swapnote got terminated under similar circumstances - maybe they'll disable the loading of profile pictures until they fix it properly?
Nintendo isnt bricking consoles. Its safe to assume whatever theyre doing wont render their switch useless and theyll still be able to play most , if not all, games. Been ages since i delved into this stuff but i remember there being ways to replace the console id to go around the ban
Luigi's Balloons gone x-rated.
Inserting your own switch profile pic is cool, but course this kind of thing is going to turn up.-_-
