@caekislove @HoroTheWhiteWolf U.S. case law, since at least the '90s, has explicitly held: Anime doesn't count as cp, because there are no actual minors depicted wherein. Because 1) No actual flesh-and-blood minor is being depicted, and 2) the "indistinguishable" criteria means that drawings, paintings, sculptures, etc... are clearly able to be differentiated from an actual photograph by the naked eye. This was even explicitly codified into formal U.S. Law in the 2003 PROTECT Act passed by Congress.
It's worth noticing that even Conservative Supreme Court Justices have upheld this ruling very consistently, for a multitude of practical reasons. [For example, a lot of Renaissance-era Catholic religious art would be banned if this precedent were overturned, due to the way cherubs tend to be depicted.]
What gets me is, how retarded must these boomers be, to not even know something this fucking basic?
