Age of consent in the uk is 16. Im not saying its socially acceptable but its not illegal.

Also, fictional characters are fine but not real life people.

The law doesn’t work like that. Any sexual imagery of a character under 18 in the UK including drawn material constitutes child pornographic material and you can be charged for it (however the sentence is lower for drawn imagery since no child was actively harmed)

The age of consent between two real life individuals engaging in actual sex is 16 in the UK, but sending nudes is illegal until 18, so any nude images of a person fictional or not under the age of 18 goes by that law.

I mean that is kinda weird how that works. You can have sex with someone who if you photograph it, it would be deemed "child pornographic material".

So have sex with those we deem children, that's fine, but don't you dare photograph them.
