So if a teenager is skilled enough at drawing on their iPad to make something look photorealistic, and they draw a naked picture of a classmate and share it, should that be illegal too?

I'm not trying to say it's ok, but just like the person you replied to, I truly find these things comparable.

I don‘t see the argument here. What you describe is sexual harassment and should be illegal.

I guess I've never looked into everything that can constitute sexual harrassment.

If person A draws a naked picture and shares it with person B, and it looks like person C, then person C has been sexually harassed?

I think it’s a matter of degree. If you share it behind closed doors, with a few friends, it wouldn’t turn any heads (mostly because the target is unaware).

If you share it with the entire class? In the school building itself? It becomes impossible for the target to not be aware.

What if you share it with one person, and that person shares it with one person, and so on, until the whole class sees it? Has no crime been committed?
Aeolun
Has anyone been victimized at that point? The issue is not with the sharing, but with how people act afterwards.

The moment someone teases the other it doesn’t matter how many times it’s been shared.

If the person is recognizable, then in many cases it would violate existing nonconsensual/revenge porn laws, which very often are not concerned with provenance but whether its a explicit, a recognizable depiction, and nonconsensual.

(Depending on where it is shared it might, as others note, be sexual harassment as well.)

Yeah if they can draw something that photorealistic then sure. Poorly rendered drawings could also constitute harassment depending on what they were and how they were used.

Sounds like harassment
