Porters are the rotting scum between people who have no morals nor slightest respect over the achievements of those who struggled for a place in the gaming industry. And while not the cause of it, you are part of the problem.
Just because a bunch of horny teeneagers cover Steam or Devaintart with pics of their wet fandoms using assets that weren't meant to that end, it doesn't quit being imoral nor ilegal.
It would only be illegal if the person or persons were profiting from the art. Showing love and appreciation using the game assets in a personal manner is not immoral either, now if kaai were to try to claim those assets or any scene created as original arts of work than that would be both Illegal and immoral. If it was illegal things like parities and most SNL skits would never be. Companies have tried in the past to take people to court over things like that and failed in most cases because the person(s) in question were not trying to profit from these kinds of actions. Things like SFM and Gary's mod were created to give people the kind of outlet kaai is looking for. You are entitled to your opinion, but that opinon does not make you right.
Getting assets without authorization, is stealing, that simple, applies to digital work as much as it applies to anything else, is that an oppinion too? But if you're working for someone say, Steam and you actually get authosization for it, it's not stealing is it? In fact, you wouldn't even need to rip off that content, you would get those files raw and threated.
The reason why this failed in the past is because of the ridiculously large ammount of kids porting, uploading and downloading whatever copyrighted content they feel like. Even for companies as big as Tecmo Suing takes money, the damage of using the necessary ammount of money to support countless process over having their characters being perverted at Deviantart, Steam, Daz, Facepunch even ported to other games, doesn't top the loss of having their characters perverted, ridicularised, ported, to hell an back.
As for whether it is illegal or not. That's why EULA exists.
