Cartoon CSAM is illegal in the United States. Pretty sure the judges will throw his images under the same ruling.

It won't. They'll get them for the actual crime not the thought crime that's been nerfed to oblivion.

Based on the blacklists that one has to fire up before browsing just about any large anime/erotica site, I am guessing that these "laws" are not enforced, because they are flimsy laws to begin with. Reading the stipulations for what constitutes a crime is just a hotbed for getting an entire case tossed out of court. I doubt any prosecutors would lean hard on possession of art unless it was being used in another crime.
