I resist, frankly, almost all forms of censorship. But for the sake of an adult-oriented, clearly niche-fetish, obviously....erotic form of expression, there is no room for children here.
That said, it's sometimes tough to define given the "cartoonish" nature of the anime/manga style. While I consider basically all of my hentai and spanking art 18 years or older, some might view my works as a few years younger than that (ie smaller chest, big head, big eyes). So be it.
I, for one, was sexually active before I was "legal", as are most people, so that aspect doesn't bother me.
But seeing clearly pre-pubescent characters experiencing something with such a sexual overtone is undesireable and should not be encouraged here, especially adult v child.
I must point out that almost any issue of "Little Audrey" and countless Disney short features depicted underage spankings, since this form of punishment was considered standard in America a few years ago. I doubt that they were overly purient, but they were often particularly savage.
The debate over depiction, however, need not concern this community. As a community, we can decide ourselves what's acceptable to post.
I say, for this particular board, we can disallow obviously underage art, and those who don't wish to comply can start their own board.
Should this topic go to a vote, I would vote "No" to any underage depictions.
