Also, canonical instances of a genderbended character do not count as Rule 63, whether the alternate gender version of the character is the actual character or the gender counterpart of a character. However, this does not necessarily mean that there cannot be Rule 63 art of real people, which in fact does exist. It is important to point out that the rule only applies to fictional characters, and not to real people. Such gender-bending art has been also observed in the realms of Alternate Universe and Trap artworks. The existence of Rule 63 could be attributed to similar themes explored by other rules like Rule 28 ("Always question a person's gender, just in case it's really a man."), Rule 34 ("There is porn of it no exception.") and Rule 35 ("If no porn is found at the moment, it will be made."). According to the tags, the three most popular subjects for Rule 63 illustrations are Axis Power's Hetalia, Team Fortress 2, and Nintedo characters. As of April 26, 2011, the site has amassed over 19,968 pictures which translates into over 264 pages of images. In late 2009, a Danbooru-style imageboard site Rule 63 was launched. As of May 2009, there are over one thousand instances of "gender-bending" artworks tagged with Rule 63. The earliest instance of Rule 63 on DeviantArt was submitted by user Xxescaped-vulpinexX on Decem. Although Rule 63 is still dwarfed in search interest by the most successful of the "Internet Rules", Rule 34, over time it has shown fairly consistent growth in popularity.
