It shows exactly how the word "children" is being mangled by zealots to mean 17, 18, ... even 20 year olds. The tragedy is that it undercuts actual crimes committed against prepubescents as badly as the "let's pretend drawings on paper are real people" bullshit.
The definition of child porn has been stretched too. It used to be guys who paste adult woman/child body and vice versa to skirt the law or actually use an real girl/boy for vile purposes that deserve rightful wrath, but someone told me the law has been stretched enough that a hentai pic of a less than 18 years old can count as "illicit material"

So does this mean this entire board can be sent to jail and registered as sex offenders for seeing hentai somewhere? Thankfully, there are enough real child porn criminals floating around for them to be busy. But god help us all if prosecutors have a slow day month and in need of a scalp.
