>Saying that "it looks too real" as "proof" just means that the artist is... skilled? There's plenty of artists making extremely detailed drawings of dragons, aliens, spaceships and so on and those were definitely not traced.
>Drawing a young girl really isn't harder in comparison.
this is true.. god it's crazy how you forget to think critically while so wrapped up in this type of thing.
The burden should always lie on the accuser, not the accused, so therefore there's really no reason to suspect that, outside of a few widely-corroborated accounts of 'tracing', it really isn't that much of a problem since this seems like something people would have jumped on ages ago if it were even an issue.
But that doesn't mean the accused doesn't have a responsibility to show their work, not necessarily to rebut accusations (thereby lending inadvertent credence to them), but just to do so. I follow a lot of artists on Pixiv and they all seem like very talented people who act and create content responsibly.

>Well the whole tracing problem really just applies to the realistic drawings
I guess, but that's not to say that you should suspect artists who make stuff like that of tracing.

I just get so caught up in the "it can be real so assume it is real" type meme. I now see that such a mindset is reflective of an implicit bias that the art community has an obligation to refute by simply being mere 'art' and not invoking real abuse material, which it seems to do fine now that I look into it more.
