[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;50398612]Once it's started you can't stop it. What are they going to do, trawl every tumblr page and image hosting site to take down images and SFM related stuff?[/QUOTE] That's basically what they are doing They hit all the big name SFM artists and then are going through their known associates, followers, and such, as well as hitting their uploads with takedowns They are being extremely thorough with purging this. They even got to SFMlab and some other porn-related Source content hosts

It may not appeal to me but that's irrelevant. Then, a vocal minority of fans complain about a "too sexy" character pose (just an idle animation for Tracer lol, who the fuck cares?) Then the pose is removed. Then in interviews, the character-designers themselves complain because "We made them sexy to reflect our inner beauty :((" (At least one woman dev?) And now Blizzard is actively purging fan-made pornographic content too because Blizzard made their game witty and sexy on purpose? Alright then. Have fun with that Blizzard.
They won't succeed in disappearing the porn or the ported content that exists but they've basically killed anything new since all of the major SFM players who were making content got served takedown notices which means they are being watched closely and further content from them will probably get them actually taken to court. Won't stop them from making new stuff under an alias, but the damage has been done.
