Teenage Cartoon Porn
Many countries criminalize pornography that depicts real children in sexual situations due to its potential for inciting real child abuse cases. But other images can still qualify as child pornography even if the characters depicted are fictional and do not include real photos or videos of individuals.
Cartoon pornography refers to images depicting cartoon characters from popular children’s shows, adult cartoons, or anime that are drawn explicitly. Cartoon porn draws heavily upon characters that were popular during creators’ youth or teenage years as it fulfills both nostalgic and sexual needs simultaneously.
These images can be found everywhere from online sites and magazines, to television programs and television channels – but YouTube is perhaps most frequently encountered as a venue for this genre of media. While you might find videos in various categories on this platform, there are also specific channels dedicated to this genre that exist exclusively.
Mio Bryce of Macquarie University in Sydney and an expert on manga and anime believes it can be difficult for an average person to distinguish whether a cartoon character depicts an actual child due to Japan’s penchant for cutesiness – however she notes these works can often be found at bookstores or DVD stores in Australia.
John J Zarych at the Law Offices of John J Zarych notes that some may attempt to justify cartoon porn by saying no one is being hurt; however, these images still can cause emotional and psychological harm just like photos depicting real children.
