A. Because cartoon kids are FAR different from IRL kids, lol.
Because, he doesn't care what the haters think. It's better to just ABANDON the false sense of morality, amirite?
I'm sure James appreciates you white-knighting him, but I think you might want to just quit now while you still have a chance to salvage something. I'm sure James himself would have by now.
Hey, he tells all the naysayers to call the cops, and they don't. Like that BalishChannel loser. So I think he's safe. He's a pretty brave man, and I RESPECT him for that.
I think I would call that a little bit more along the lines of "extremely fucking stupid," as opposed to brave. You get where I'm coming from?

Once again you people forget one MAJOR detail- he's NOT looking for sexual activity, just a friendly dating relationship.Don't believe me - here it is right from the US Department of Justice website.

Obscenity Involving Minors
Federal statues specifically prohibit obscenity involving minors, and convicted offenders generally face harsher statutory penalties than if the offense involved only adults.
Section 1470 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits any individual from knowingly transferring or attempting to transfer obscene matter using the U.S. mail or any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce to a minor under 16 years of age. Convicted offenders face fines and imprisonment for up to 10 years.
In addition, Section 1466A of Title 18, United State 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 and are deemed obscene. This statute offers an alternative 2-pronged test for obscenity with a lower threshold than the Miller test. The matter involving minors can be deemed obscene if it (i) depicts an image that is, or appears to be a minor engaged in graphic bestiality, sadistic or masochistic abuse, or sexual intercourse and (ii) if the image lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. A first time offender convicted under this statute faces fines and at least 5 years to a maximum of 20 years in prison.
There are also laws to protect children from obscene or harmful material on the Internet. For one, federal law prohibits the use of misleading domain names, words, or digital images on the Internet with intent to deceive a minor into viewing harmful or obscene material (See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252B, 2252C). It is illegal for an individual to knowingly use interactive computer services to display obscenity in a manner that makes it available to a minor less than 18 years of age (See 47 U.S.C. § 223(d) –Communications Decency Act of 1996, as amended by the PROTECT Act of 2003). It is also illegal to knowingly make a commercial communication via the Internet that includes obscenity and is available to any minor less than 17 years of age (See 47 U.S.C. § 231 –Child Online Protection Act of 199
The standard of what is harmful to minors may differ from the standard applied to adults. Harmful materials for minors include any communication consisting of nudity, sex or excretion that (i) appeals to the prurient interest of minors, (ii) is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community with respect to what is suitable material for minors, (iii) and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.
In addition to facing imprisonment and fines, convicted offenders of federal obscenity laws involving minors may also be required to register as sex offenders. Furthermore, in some circumstances, obscenity violations involving minors may also be subject to prosecution under federal child pornography laws, which yield serve statutory penalties (For more information, see Citizen´s Guide to U.S. Federal Child Pornography Laws).
This a federal law. That means that AJ does not go to regular state or local prison. He goes to Federal Pen. Not a nice place.
You're forgetting that dating as a concept is inherently sexual.
Except for the fact that it isn't exactly sexual.
So, in that case, basically the only reason he's not been completely fucked over at this point is because the people he calls bluff on just happen to not know federal law well enough to know this particular bit?Don't believe me - here it is right from the US Department of Justice website.

I'd tend to disagree, given that the entire purpose of dating is to eventually find somebody to have children with.
Yes it is,on a sociological level the whole reason humans date is because it functions as a leadup to physical intercourse, leading to procreation...
There's something called "online dating". Those people KEEP it online-only, like he does.
But uh, online dating is still dating, which still has the same endgame purpose.
He barely drew a pic of her except for an informative comic, not pornographic. AND... I have said this like THOUSANDS of times... but STOP! ASSUMING! HE'LL! ENGAGE! IN! SEXUAL! ACTIVITY!
Why are you responding to him when you are constantly the one telling others not to feed the trolls?
