I’ve been informed that adblock plus sort of sucks now. If you’re looking for one, go for UBlock Origin.

    They’re drawings in a very unrealistic artstyle, the argument that “they look underage” is pointless when under a realistic lens they barely look human.

    And there you have the plausible deniability… “It’s ok because it’s just a drawing” “Maybe it’s an adult woman who just looks petite” “Sure she looks 12 but in the anime she is ackshually 2000 years old”.

    Also, in some animes the girls are canonically underage.

    a serious crime like pedophilia

    Pedophilia itself is not a crime. It’s a paraphilia, aka a mental disorder. The crime is when you act on it with actual children.

    So sexualized drawings of 12 year old girls are not a crime in most jurisdictions, but they’re still pedophilia and problematic.

      It’s still a drawing, and an unrealistic one at it. You can’t say liking an unrealistic representation of something real equates to being attracted to the real thing, any furry would be considered a zoophile and anyone who likes a zombie character a necrophile.

      Not to mention if you go for the specific paraphilia term, that applies to people who like prepubescent children, and I don’t think they’re the same people who would appreciate SrGrafo’s stuff or “14-year old” characters with massive breasts like Yoko Littner.
