18 is a completely arbitrary number, and when drawing porn of aged up characters, it means nothing. The body drawn could be 15, could be 16, could be 18. Saying “don’t worry I drew them as 18 here” doesn’t mean shit. They could still hardly look like an adult and people think this excuses porn of child characters.
Mind you, I still don’t care if you drew them looking 30, it’s still morally objectionable, it’s still an example of grooming see…okay
You looked at a character who is say…10 years old, 13 years old, 15 years old…and you had to have the thought process of “I want to see this child having sex….but only when they’re old enough of course!”
That shouldn’t be a thought you have about an underage character. You shouldn’t be looking at children and wanting to see them have sex….even if you’re imagining them “aged up”.
And if you participate in that in any way get out of my face, you’re a pedophile
