How is that not illegal?

It is.

The Coroners and Justice Act of April 2009 (c. 2) created a new offence in England and Wales and Northern Ireland of possession of a prohibited image of a child. This act makes cartoon pornography depicting minors illegal in England, Wales and North Ireland.

On October 2014, Robul Hoque was convicted of possessing up to 400 explicit manga images involving children, in the UK's first prosecution of its kind. He received a 9-month suspended sentence. He was also warned in court that had he been in possession of actual child pornography, he would've been sentenced to jail for a longer term in years.

I recall posting that quote some time back.

No victim. Nevertheless, sex offender and jail sentence.

That particular part of the law is logically on the level of criminalising homosexuals (which was quite acceptable in the UK - read up the not too distant treatment of Alan Turing recently promoted to £50 note decoration).

The power of moral outrage to make victimless sexual activities a serious crime continues to this day.

However.

Alan Moore, very famous graphic novel writer, did a graphic novel called Lost Girls which depicts children in sexual acts due to it being a very adult take on childrens stories.

It is permitted in the UK. The author himself describes it as pornography.

Work that one out. Perhaps it's the quality of the images, the plotline behind the porn. Whatever makes it acceptable was apparently lacking in the spank bank of the guy that got a sentence for his hentai.

A law based on moral outrage and ultimately implemented on a matter of opinion not the fact of it being hardcore porn involving fictitious children.

Well obviously it is "art" then it is totally different....

Same applies to actual images/film I believe. - which is why you get things like some rock band I can't remember having a very dodgy album cover (and a controversy over the album cover being featured in a wikipedia article). Or actresses like Keira Knightley or Brooke Shields getting their boobs out in movies while underaged etc...

Que? You telling me she only started doing all this weird stuff the moment she hit 18? I don't think so.

Even then, parents don't suddenly stop being parents when their kids hit 18. If she was my daughter I'd be having words, that's for sure.

She's making 6 figures a month, your puritanical complaints as a parent probably wouldn't mean a thing to her.

Women do porn, it's a trillion dollar industry, get over it.

Thing I don't get is, people like her, do they lack some sort of logical smarts? It's pretty clear it's not going to be a long career for people who do these sorts of things, same goes for Twitch streamers. So why don't they just make enough money and quit then invest the earned money in actual things. Why continue being greedy and preying on the easily swayed?

If it was me, I'd make those 6 figures then bail. The investments would bring in a steady stream of profit and I could then focus on things to better myself and those around me. Or is it because people like her are too young to think of the bigger picture?

She's still making money so why stop... there's a good 7 to 10 year ability to do this depending on how the fountain of youth has blessed said person, that's several million you'd lose just making a few hundred K.

Almost certainly that comes with eager spending habits, but who knows how she spends.

Seems more like you’re missing the bigger picture, she probably is saving a lot and she’s making plenty of money at the moment. While it perhaps takes some effort it is hardly a hugely demanding thing so why would she quit at the moment?

My ex boss sold hers for a while.
She was mentally unhinged, director of a coperate gift company, complete skank, fraudster thief, as it turned out.
She paid my wages on time though, strangely..... 6 months of my life I'll never get back...

Who sells used knickers ? lol

Some women sell used knickers and some other people sell fake "used knickers". If there's profit to be made, there will be a seller. If it's not illegal and there isn't overwhelming social pressure against it, there will be more sellers.

Imagine you could sell your underwear for 10x what you paid for it. Lots of profit for very little work. Wouldn't you be tempted? Sure beats working hard for minimum wage or being on the dole, which are the alternatives for most people.
