(damn, i didn't scroll far enough to see this)

Because it's not CP. There's a distinction between these drawn fantasy things and real imagery. That's part of the reason, as I said, why 3DCG is off in its own section, because the quality of 3D renders these days is becoming decidedly photographic and the combination of that plus what is otherwise represented here in drawn artworks squicks a lot of people a lot more than the artistic version, and in some areas can even bring greater trouble from the law.

Most of the things depicted in the guro pictures, many of the furry ones, etc would be deeply illegal as well, if it were photographic. Or at least, if it wasn't, carrying out the actions needed to create those photos would be.

And, as a cartoon medium from an area of the world where puberty tends not to hit as hard, and with looser attitudes to sex and ages of consent, there's a lot of younger-looking characters and suggestive stuff in anime and manga just inherently (look at things like Strike Witches, which, you must bear in mind, is an actual anime that was drawn, animated, committed to DVD, then sold, in stores). It may well seem off to western sensibilities but that's just an inherent part of the medium (jeez, somewhere I have a 90s copy of AnimeUK where they explain the different drawing styles, and there's literally one called "child bodied", in which the characters are still understood to be adults but are drawn in a more cutesy fashion pretty much, well, that's how they've been drawn; but even the most common style is described as following the usual global cartoon pattern of making bodies a little more squat, heads larger, eyes larger and lower on the face etc, all of which are juvenile characteristics), and the easiest way to avoid it is to choose a different fandom. Or maybe use a site where you can specify "-loli -shota" and so-on.

Yes, it is problematic, can cause misunderstandings and/or trouble as a result, it's a known risk that comes with the hentai territory... but you'll just have to play it by ear on that front, and -bleep- over the ones you don't like, unless the mods rework the board structure (tags, or a specific /cake/ board, and/or a "hide" button would be good, I suppose?). You're in the wild west, and if the piano player isn't playing a song you like, but you haven't got the fastest gun in the room, you'll just have to choose between listening, or leaving the saloon. No-one asked you to ride into this town. It's a small miracle it's even here right now, given its past record, and there isn't much that acts as a potential replacement. There's enough I find distasteful as well that appears amongst everything else in certain threads as well but I just put up the decade-and-a-bit honed filter of ignorance and scroll on.

I mean, I'm sorry on your behalf that it is the way it is, but an image thread isn't the place to whine about. Go raise the matter in /dis/, or hop on IRC and talk to the mods directly, or... etc
