Sonic's canon age is 15; Tails' is 8. 'Nuff said. The admins are hypocritical and don't practice what they preach. But hey, what's new there?
My advice: someone make friends with a lawyer and ask them to properly interpret the law for you to see if it pertains to cub art.
To me, the law is very clear and consistent in its use of the word "children" which has an undeniably human connotation and one that does not readily apply to fictional non-human characters. While, yes, we are humans and those rules apply to us as humans, they don't apply to the fictional characters we create. The government has no right to limit the output of someone's "intellectual property." It's pretty much identical to determining what kinds of music can be written, or what clothes can be sold. It's another classic case of "the government doesn't belong in the bedroom." Well, the government doesn't belong in your yiff folder, either.
Essentially, this is just yet another occurrence of people being told what they can and cannot do, and the people getting the short end of the stick being quite upset about it.
