Watch your fucking mouth, UrbaneVirtuoso, you're gonna offend someone!

Attention Everyone: The "Fucking Jesuszilla" Law is now in effect.

All posts hereforth must contain at least three fucking uses of the word "fuck".

This marks Hoque's second conviction regarding possession of drawn child pornography. He was prosecuted in 2008 for possessing "Tomb Raider-style” computer-generated pictures of fictional children. A jury convicted him on six counts of making “indecent pseudo-photographs” of children, another first in the U.K. Hoque denied these charges but was required to complete a sex offender treatment program.

it doesnt matter, the law is made so that if it appears to be underage it is assumed to be underage. thats why apparently most people who draw cartoon porn (outside of japan, where loli porn is legal) make sure they denote their characters are over 18 if there is any ambiguity.
if you really didnt want your over 18 porn to be confused as child porn, you would take steps to make sure its not. otherwise youre inviting it.
on yoko, yeah in japan it doesnt matter, cause they dont have laws on it.

Well, actually, most laws are there to prevent victimization of specific individuals. In this case the individuals were completely imaginary and no real person was victimized.

I also accept that some men only get turned on by Hentai and not real women. I can't say that the situation automatically creates that kind of environment, and in this guy's case, it really seems like he's more dedicated to imagery than actual children, but there could easily be a loophole used by predacious individuals to encourage their thrills.

Loli is illegal in many countries.  From what I remember, it's illegal in most countries in the middle east, as well as Australia and a few countries in Europe.  I don't remember much more specific than that.

Gelbooru is hosted in the US.  Loli isn't illegal in the United States, and the Supreme Court has overturned guilty rulings on cases where people were prosecuted for it citing the first amendment, however it's a slightly grey area.  Nevertheless, I can pretty much guarantee that the FBI knows of the existance of Gelbooru and Danbooru and other such sites, and if it really were a problem we would have been shut down or forced to disallow loli.  As it stands, as long as you don't do something stupid for them to try and add it on as a secondary charge while prosecuting you for, you should be fine.

If you do something stupid and they try to add it on as a secondary charge, however, be prepared for the jury to find you guilty in a heartbeat unless the judge throws the charges out.  In fact, if such a thing were to happen, you should be prepared to take it all the way up to the supreme court.  And, of course, even if the charge is thrown out, it's likely that they will attempt to use it as evidence against your character when prosecuting you for whatever it was that ended up with them searching your computer because of.

What you should take from this is that if you enjoy loli, you should use it as a solid reason not to do anything stupid.  Do not break any laws that might make them search your computer.  Of course, you shouldn't break any laws that would make them search your computer in the first place, but use this as added motivation to keep yourself clean.
