Uh.... I'll try.

Society can't be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.

Thank you, I understand you now. I still disagree, but I can see where you're coming from.
