This is not child porn.
Please define child porn.
Edit: becauae y'all seem to wanna put words in my mouth: I also think that sexualized cartoons of children is bad. I never said otherwise. I'm referring to the US federal legal definition.
The feds define it as:
Visual depiction includes cartoons.
Don't argue with me, call the feds and debate it with them. Maybe give them your hard drive, too. That's probably better for everyone.
No it absolutely does fucking not include cartoons. (Edit: at least in the US)
And yes, even if it's of a real person/child. Apparently they're working on changing that.
Section 1466A of Title 18, United States Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.
Which seems fine in spirit, but we don't really want the letter of the law making something like this
