timestatic comments on France bids to suspend Shein over childlike sex dolls

Ofc you frame it that way. Most people on here are just against banning things where there's A, no victims and B, no real way to determine age. You'd have to ban drawings the same way if the characters appear childlike. How is this enforceable. By the opinion of whoever is looking over something? The article specifically mentions weight and size but I don't think thats sufficient in itself.

Doesn't France already ban depictions of characters that look like minors in sexual situations and also depiction of rape and sexual violence.

In the US obscene drawings of underage characters in sexual situations is illegal under the Protect act "Section 1466A of Title 18, United States Code, makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct"

Some states explicitly prohibit cartoon pornography

Out of curiosity, does that include cherubs or is religious iconography exempt?

With something like this, a judgement call would ultimately need to be made, yes. That's how a lot of law enforcement works.
