TMSOne... I think you are missing the point here. To give an example, one artist that made a series called, "Shayla The Pink Mouse", modeled her on someone that *looked* under age. The model for the idea had almost no breasts to speak of, was maybe a bit shorter than average and could "easily" pass as 14-15. He later decided it was best to give her bigger ****, since about 20% of the people that came to the site where morons and tried to accuse him of drawing child porn, never mind the fact that big breasts hardly mean "older"... I have also seen people 18-20 come through the store I work in that could be 13-17, instead of their real ages, and these are people well known by other people that work there, so we *know* they are actually over 18. All that this BS comes down to in the end is *if* one of the roleplayers says, "I am 14", or something like that, before engaging in some activity. It doesn't matter their real age.

The problem is, it never stops there. In any other circumstance people would check IDs, determine that the people involved **where** adults, admonish them for the horribly bad taste of giving a fake age, and stupidly doing inappropriate things for that age in a public place, then tell them not to do it again. In this case, it has already gone way past that. Why? Because it is public, so any idiot who **thinks** an avatar looks under aged can now accuse them of age play, even if they are not age playing. After all, despite **clear** evidence to the contrary, it should be possible to *tell* just by looking if they are old enough or not, or if they are pretending to be someone far younger, right?

Sorry, but it doesn't fly. Its, "It looks like child porn, therefor it must be child porn, and we are going to stomp everyone involve under our boot heels because of it."

And then there is the somewhat sick, but real possibility that some of these people *may* actually be borderline pedophiles in reality and this gives them a way to avoid hurting actual kids. But that would just be too sick to consider or accept right? Such people are just supposed to get locked up or magically stop doing it. Catering to them, so you keep them from doing it for real, that just doesn't make any sense. After all, there is no known case of any other addiction/maladjusted behavior where one thing replaces another successfully, like people chewing pens or gum, instead of smoking... It would just be completely silly to suggest it didn't make them more dangerous, so why bother even finding out.

Sigh.. The lack of logic and reason in this whole thing is almost as insane as some of the BS coming out of the people that defend various forms of Creationism, probably because it comes from the same, "We know what is right and nothing can sway us, especially your 'logic' or 'evidence'!", thinking. The stupidity, it burns!!
