She is s toon and not real appearing at all to me. I think if someone was doing realistic images of someone this young looking, and they were nude, it would cross the line (in my opinion).

I've not thought about this very much at all. That is my first impression. I can see that this is a worthy discussion though.

I see it as a cultural thing for the uptight US. When I worked at Wizards of the Coast I created a diversity class for all employees. I wanted to use our products and the great images they contained to show some differences in how things needed to be adapted for other countries - and for the US.

One lesson from this is that the American versions of the popular Pokemon cards needed to really be scrubbed. One of the original Poke characters from Japan was Nude Misty - a young pre-teen looking fairy creature. She never saw the light of day on a US card. I came across many instances of changes - for our culture. (Another card showed a creature looking from a manhole in the street up a school girls dress. For the US card the creature's eyes were retouched to be looking to the left instead of up.) I have many more examples. It was fascinating.

I am not sure what I brought to the conversation - but that is some of my relevant experience.
