"Child porn", which in the US can be anything ranging from raping newborns to sexually suggestive drawings of imaginary teenager characters.

Now this is a topic that might raise heated discussion so don't get baited into it, but a lot of anime and hentai content does cross the line. Drawing a 13 year old girl and saying she's 18 doesn't really change it.

Which line: in Japan the line seems to be "real vs imaginary", in the US it seems to be "<18 vs 18+", which to me sounds more like a thought police. Much like the infamous "I'll know it when I see it".

I don't think you get to make that call. If an artist draws an 18 year old girl who looks much younger, are we supposed to ignore their wishes and arrest them because we think it crosses the line? We simply will not respect the artist's will when they are the literal creator of the drawing? Doesn't this mindset drift into literal thought crime?
