Yes, that's clearly sexual abuse of actual children.

You know that's different from fiction - right? Like it's fundamentally worse than a drawing, because it's fundamentally different from a drawing?

You mean to tell me there's nuance here? I want my morality to be black and white! Thinking is hard and I don't want to do it.

I feel like we're agreeing but for some reason you're mad about it.

Because I wasn't sure, the way your comment comes out swinging.

Too many threads like this feature people who are convinced that corporate models were trained on hyper-illegal pornography (with accurate human labeling!) or that the absence of real human persons is no excuse. Like they're not clear why this specific thing is as illegal as possible.
