Read on Twitter
I deleted the thread on that recent hot topic (aside from the last few clarification tweets) for a couple reasons:
1) I think the callout that I qrted should've been better worded in terms of mentioning the specific users involved and should've been more clear on who said what.

2) and while I had been wanting to make a thread on my thoughts on this topic, I should've made it a separate thread. And I'll be doing that now, currently re-writing it to be a bit more concise instead of rambling.
All I'll say about that call out is that making inappropriate comments using *screencaps* of live-action characters played by kid actors is not okay. That is no longer fiction because you're commenting on the kids actor's physical attributes. Sorry, I'm not budging on that.
Fanart is more complicated and has more nuance to it (hence all the tweets being made about it). And even though I have my issues with nsfw fanart of live-action characters, I still don't think we should be throwing the p-word around so easily if only fanart/drawings are involved
Even if they are played by real life actors, live-action characters are still fictional characters, they're fictional concepts, so I can see why some people may not see any issue with making nsfw content of these characters...
BUT-

I just think that more caution and consideration needs to be taken into account when that actor is underage (and when the nsfw content is art/visual), that's all.
