That would be the rough equal to photoshopping age reduction into images of Emma Watson, to have her appear to be 15. If you tried to call that child porn, you would get laughed out of the courtroom, because everyone knows the original used for the image is over 18. This should be no different.
Actually, that sort of age-reduction stuff is illegal in some of the same sorts of places that would ban this sort of thing, because, as you say, it should be no different.

The ignorance in this post is alarming. There is as much correlation between hentai images and pedophilia as there is between gays and pedophilia. No child is harmed, or even used as a model. These are images of creatures that do not exist, cannot exist, and will never exist.
Um, you seem to be confusing pedophilia and child molestation there.
If you are sexually inclined towards children, you are a pedophile, you are only a child molestor if you act on it.

[In most country as soon as a girl is able to have children of her own shes married off...and if i remember the youngest recorded pregnancy was a little African girl who was...four i think so before you go trying to defend your kids against those sick bastards who fap to loli how about getting on a plane flying to africa and saving some real little girls from some real pedophiles.
That argument doesn't hold true. The existence of a serious crime, in of itself, does not invalidate lesser crimes. You can argue the images are harmless, but not that there is worse somewhere else.
