>>238 How, exactly, do most of the images in /toon/ look childlike? The thing about your typical "toony" style is that age is almost impossible to determine from the image alone, and that's the issue here.
If someone was unfamiliar with, to use an oft-cited example, the Sonic universe, they'd never just guess that Tails is 8 years old. And before anyone claims otherwise, I'd like to point out that you only think that because you KNOW the character's background. You've come to associate the two, such that it's now hard to separate one from the other. The question is whether or not someone UNFAMILIAR with the character would be able to tell the character is underage. I do not believe so, and apparently neither do the mods. They're doing you a favor by permitting images of some characters that, though underage, do not look it in the typical style. They could've just banned all images of underage images, but, I repeat, they did you a FAVOR and did not.
Of course, the issue of the reason for the banning of underage characters is still unresolved until a link to a current law is provided. If you want to complain about what you perceive to be deceit, be my guest. But let's stop whining about which characters are currently allowed, huh? Unless you're in the habit of examining your gift horses' dentition...
