Child porn??? As you can't guess the age of characters in the porn, they are automatically above the legal age. But wtf.
There is debate over this. At least Canada and the UK have banned drawings of nude, underaged characters. But they're really just suplementary laws, no-one has yet been penalised for lolicon (hentai of underage, usually female, characters, male version is shotacon) alone. The purpose of the law is to bring more years to the sentences. N years for posession of child pornography, N years for posession of animated child pornography...
Personally, I think it's a stupid law nonetheless. Do gory drawings indicate the artist is a murderer?
