Pretty sure no matter how horrific, it's still a drawing and therefore not illegal in most Western countries at least
Actually it's the fact that it's a child being featured! That at least under US Law, is illegal.
The gruesome torture aspect is really not the problem from a torture point of view. It's nsfw of a depicted child
The PROTECT law is no longer in effect...
Oh okay. My knowledge is outdated then!
Be informed that the US, in some states it might be still illegal, but rarely prosecuted, since there's more important things to do, like harassing ethnic minorities and prosecuting abortion.
Drawn child porn, in which no one is getting hurt is just as illegal as the real thing pretty much everywhere so.. I don't like the chances on this one
I just find it very strange that drawing something can be illegal, even if it's fucked up
