Now I need to rant a bit, but before that I'll get you all up to speed. I deleted pics of characters who are considered minors because I just found out that it's illegal where I live to possess any porn with minors in them.
Some examples of characters are below, take note they are considered minors in most of the U.S.
Jessica Albert - Dragon Quest
Talim - Soul Caliber
Ayane - Dead or Alive
Now, it's cool that the law is looking out for children so I can't be that angry. But now when I want to save some new pics, I have to age check each one that I get to make sure the character isn't a minor. I had to get rid of some sweet pics too!
I know some of you are gonna think I'm overreacting, but I'm paranoid about this type of thing, and I know some people who have been arrested for this kind of thing and worse. It just feels so unfair because I've never been of fan of Loli or anything that had kids in it, and if you saw my collection you'd see nothing that looked like a child. Still, since the laws cover "minors" I have to take into account the characters that look like they aren't minors, even though they don't exist outside of their Games/Anime. Like, really? really, really? They're drawn and not even children, they're teens and it's still illegal?? Jessica Albert is 17!! That's one year away and she's off limits!
Minors in California, and most of the U.S. are ages 17 and below. The characters in my examples are 17 and below, hell most of the characters in Anime/Games are probably 17 and below. It just makes me feel like I've been a pedo since I was 18 and didn't know it. It's not like I can go on a rampage at artists screaming "stop drawing that minor so sexy!" it wouldn't work, and I'd just look like a troll. I've never wanted to be younger than 18 in a long time until now, and thinking about how careful I'll have to be from now on is just /facepalm.
Tell me what you guys think, I'm pretty much just a lurker, but I can't think of many other places to get something like this of my chest without getting flamed to all hell and back. Not doubting it wouldn't happen here mind you, but what better place to talk about than a forum about Hentai right?
