Their birth certificate may say they are, but I've seen some who look like someone as young as 14 or 15. Sometimes portraying high school students, or someone otherwise underage. So, how is this much different than hentai manga and anime that features young looking characters?Both are depicting graphic sex with minors, or someone who looks like a minor, but don't actually use any minors in the making. 0.o
Which really is my beef with the whole thing. I mean, in the regular porn world, participants are only legally required to be 18+, not to look 18+ or be put in roles/characters 18+. And yet, they consider loli hentai, completely drawn and fictional, to be kiddie porn simply because they look underage. And that that is going to lead people to be child molesters.hasteroth wrote: There is perfectly legal porn on the web of Pregnant women. It's sickening. But it's legal. So why should drawings of young girls be illegal? I just don't get it. It's not child porn, for all we know the drawings of girls who looks 25 might actually be 12. I've seen it... so yeah. And a drawing of a girl who is 12 might actually be in her 20s (this is more common). One of the more recent girls I've encountered like that was in Wanko to Kurasou, Nadeshiko is in her 20s but she looks like she is in middle school. It's simply illogical. There are far worse (legal) things on the internet than loli H. I mean seriously.
So, what about teen (meaning ages 18-19, though many such places go 18-25) and twink (skinny, young looking gay guy) porn in the regular porn world? I mean, many places that specialize in that type of thing tend to showcase people who are technically legal, but look like they're in the early to mid teens.
Examples (Should be .org safe):
Found on Google search for 'Barely Legal Porn'
Found on Google search for 'Twink' (Cropped for obvious reasons. )
So, supposedly, the people in those pics are 18. They sure as hell don't look it. Not knowing better, I would probably guess around age 13-15 on both pics. The girl in the blue in the 1st pic, I looked at other pics of her, and you could do a basic vector job on some of those pics, and they would probably be barely distinguishable from loli hentai pics. And yet, you could have all the porn pics/vids in the world of her, a real person, and be fine, but get arrested for having drawn loli hentai of fictional girls. When really, in the end, it's all about the same anyway. "Kiddie porn" that doesn't actually use kids. Though, loli/shota hentai at least has some sort of artistic value. Some of the teen/twink porn out there just comes off as legal kiddie porn. Which, imo, would be more likely to attract/create/encourage more pedophiles than hentai manga/anime, since it's real people and a bit more mainstream. And yet, (provided you follow your area's general laws on "adult material") you won't get thrown in jail for having 18+ teen porn, even if the participants look like they're 13. -_-
And I'm sorry, but whoever thinks that lack of breasts and pubic hair means a girl is underage needs to watch more porn. Or at least go to a strip club. Not every flat chested woman in the world feels the need to get implants. Having a thing for flat chested women does not make you a pedophile. And in the adult entertainment industry, it's not all that uncommon to for someone to be "clean shaven."
So in short, looks can be deceiving. Don't judge what you don't understand. Hypocrisy sux. Why can't we all just get along?
and most importantly. . .
WHY'S THE RUM GONE?!
