>>2583260Under US law, drawn or digitally created images depicting minors in an overtly sexualized manner violates child protection laws.
People have been arrested and convicted and put in jail over this shit.
The court has shown little sway with the "artistic freedom" argument.
So if you do get caught with that crap, good fucking luck.
You might not go to jail for years, but you'll get on the list, and that ruins lives.
There is an ongoing battle with "freedom of speech" being the main weapon of choice. And even though drawings don't directly harm children, the argument is that these kinds of drawings can normalize the sexualization of children, and lead people to view children in a sexual way.
I dug a lot trying to find out if there's any way to own this stuff legally.
The laws may change in the future, but for now it is very definitively illegal to own hentai depicting minors.
