It's hard to grapple with the degree of the offense. It is offensive. Imagine a small village a couple hundred years ago with a central square and something like a bulletin board. Someone paints an explicit painting using a village youth's face an puts it on the bulletin board. That's going to create quite a stir, and maybe a lynch mob. I don't want to trivialize the offense.

That said, there's the question of where the line is drawn. If I clip from a biology textbook an image of a nude woman, and I clip the Gerber baby's head and paste it onto the nude woman's head, what is that? If I generate the face of a young boy, then draw a stick figure under it and give the stick figure a stick erection, what is that? I don't know. I mean these things are weird and offensive, but to what degree?

Is it? The male school toilets in high school were full of graffiti messages implying particular girls were open to prostitution or whatever. Something insulting. Sometimes this included their phone number (cell phones became a thing when I was ~halfway through high school). Sometimes "drawings". You can guess which parts were emphasized. Hell, occasionally a guy got this treatment too.

There were a few really big stinks about this too, with the school director getting involved.

I mean, this is not new. Just evolved.
