Drawing nude/semi-nude underage girls - is that also pedophilia?

[chrissthebliss]

This is slightly serious, cause me and my mate (who is a moderator of popular art website Deviant Art) had a heated discussion about this.

So this is basically the story: someone, who says he has a college degree (definitely older than 18), draws semi-naked underage anime/animu girls, and uploads his stuff to Deviant Art. Some of the stuff is really borderline, yet he manages to get 6 million views, and a strong community of followers. My mate was thinking of warning him, but he changed his mind.

Is that kind of stuff acceptable as art or is he some kind of sick f*ck that's going to be the next Garry Glitter?

Beat him to death

He's going to rape you, then molest your siblings.

Link please

It's just a drawing. I'm not sure about that dude

[Unreliable]

It's anime, unless it's porn most of them look 8 years old and have voices like them too.

[sonnysonny]

He's a pedo, but lolicon aint' too uncommon these days.

[deltasquid]

It's not pedophilia if it's artistic. It's not child porn if no real girl was harmed. So if it's artistic, I don't see what's wrong with it.

Lolicon is illegal in the United States, yes.

see: PROTECT act of 2003

(sorry wrong law)

[_Mythic]

Ban his ass.
Who cares if it's illegal, he is a freak.

It was, but George Bush made it legal. So it's completely legal now.

[Jim_Riley]

Can someone explain to me what's the need for drawing nude/semi-nude underage girls anyway?

This continues my heated mental debate about George Bush.

Also, it's probably legal, if it's artful

it's to give pedos something else to do besides raping kids

They took down the CPPA but the PROTECT act was instated.

# Prohibits computer-generated child pornography when "(B) such visual depiction is a computer image or computer-generated image that is, or appears virtually indistinguishable from that of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; (as amended by 1466A for Section 2256(8)(B) of title 18, United States Code).

# Prohibits drawings, sculptures, and pictures of such drawings and sculptures depicting minors in actions or situations that meet the Miller test of being obscene, OR are engaged in sex acts that are deemed to meet the same obscene condition. The law does not explicitly state that images of fictional beings who appear to be under 18 engaged in sexual acts that are not deemed to be obscene are rendered illegal in and of their own condition (illustration of sex of fictional minors).

So it's sort of a toss-up, if you can argue that the characters depicted are fictional beings who only [I]appear[/I] underage.

It will be hard to overthrow him. You will need to win over the masses with even smaller children and then crush him.

I don't have anything for the other.

Some states and countries actually consider underage drawings of girls child pornography. So I'd warn him just to be on the safe side.
