The Rule 34 Existence Paradox

The original characters I created when I was 9-10 and haven't posted about at all despite having drawn them several times. Can confirm, I have not drawn R34 of them, and if I'm the only person who knows they exist, there cannot be R34 of them. I did have a dream about it though Which leads to the philosophical question of whether these characters actually exist since there is no way for you to prove their existence without showing other people Which would likely lead to Rule 34. If we reverse rule 34, we can conclude that if there is no porn of these characters then these characters do not exist.

A screenshot of a dark-mode online comment thread discusses original childhood characters that supposedly cannot have Rule 34 art because nobody else knows they exist. The replies turn this into a philosophical paradox, joking that the absence of porn proves the characters do not exist, while proving their existence would likely create the porn. It is used as an absurd reaction to discussions about fictional characters, obscure original characters, and Rule 34.
