So this does bring up an interesting point that I haven’t thought about - is it the depiction that matters, or is it the actual content that matters?

Consider the Catholic schoolgirl trope - if someone of legal age is depicted as being much younger, should that be treated in the same way as this case? This case is arguing that the depiction is what matters, instead of who is actually harmed.

The intent is to get off on fucking children, how you make that happen shouldnt matter
If we decide that nothing else matters but protecting children, then protecting children will be the only thing that matters anymore. That’s not a reasonable outcome.
