Minors in TF Stories

[RayO_ElGatubelo]

I actually love lolicon in TFs, and always like to seek it out. Bonus if it's AR or AP (an adult changing into a minor and an animal or a minor changing into an adult).

And yes, also if there's sexual stuff.

Anything that dances along the edge of pedophilia is extremely dangerous. The content of a story or illustration that so much as hints towards this kind of world should be approached with the utmost care and caution.

When it comes to drawn art, I don't personally feel any ethical line is crossed; no actual children were forced to be involved. Flat-out child pornography, on the other hand, really DOES cross the line, and justifies severe consequences, including jail-time.

That being said, this is a fetish-orientated site (although I've never been too comfortable about the word "fetish" myself; sometimes it's a teensy bit more complicated than that). The boundaries of good and bad taste can easily blur. But it's also aware of what's morally acceptable, and that's something I've always appreciated about it.

not that I'm promoting or defending anybody, but what about photomanips of clearly underage girls?

There are a couple or artists who draw some underage girls TFing and as much as I'm a little upset with myself for liking the images, so still do.
But then I see some other artists who do photomanips of underage girls, even though they are completely clothed, I still tend to shy away from their work

That's crossing the line, without question. If I had a daughter whose image was photomanipulated by some skeevy freak into a piece of porn, I'd want him dead. Basically, it's taking a photograph of a real child and voluntarily perverting the context behind the photo into something immoral. Trolls do this sort of thing all the time; not so much to get turned on by it themselves (although most of them probably do), but to provoke a rise out of other people.

The sad thing though this day there are adults who fake the whole underage look (a very sad loop hole in the law) to appear to be under age and because they are technically legal age they can produce the whole 'teen' porn thing or younger. It will be a while before the laws catch up to eliminate the loophole entirely.

Are you suggesting it should be illegal to feature legal adults in porn on the basis that they appear to be younger than their actual legal age? Example, a 19 year old shouldn't be allowed to star in porn on the grounds that you might mistake her for being 17? The entire legal system behind what you're talking about is designed to protect minors from exploitation, with no minor being exploited in your scenario or the example I gave... what's the justification for changing the law?
