No possible definition of child sexual abuse can include drawings.
Tell me otherwise in the same breath as insisting you're not making that false equivalence. Apparently my patience is limitless when the lie is that fucking obvious.
edit: Hang on, the obvious lie disguised a stupid lie. What country do you think Stanford is in? Drawing Bart Simpson's dick is not illegal in America. You could do it right now, in MS Paint, and e-mail it to the FBI, and they'd just formally tell you to go fuck yourself. Which would obviously not be the case with ACTUAL "child sexual abuse materials," being evidence of abusing a flesh-and-blood child.

No possible definition of child sexual abuse can include drawings, no matter who writes it. That's not what those words mean.
Drawings... aren't children. It is literally that simple.
And if you think any of this is identically illegal to actual photos of child abuse - one, there's a whole network of shamelessly public US-hosted sites for you to turn in and be a national hero, and two, you might be wholly incapable of remembering what you're arguing. Whether you think these things are equivalent oscillates between letters.
Step up the reading comprehension please :)
It's pretty funny having you state, re-state and re-re-state the exact same obvious things that everyone understands while not seeing that everyone gets that, that you're missing the point, and that you're yelling in a hole
Why do you keep going?
Are you that painfully unconvincing in real life like cmon
Step it up
You forgot to say anything.
