Yeah, good luck prosecuting a US obscenity case, there's reasons why that's seldom attempted alone anymore but more as footnote charges to more serious crimes like actual rape rather than just simulating it in a sex tape (if I was on a jury automatic not guilty as to me there's no such thing as obscenity, I simply won't watch/ look it at if I don't like it). Miller Test is 50yo, the stuck-up people that actually cared about that are mostly dead by now so isn't that relevant anymore. As far as "chid porn" it hasn't applied to cartoons since 2002 (thank you Free Speech Coalition). Think about it, if it did not only would Rule 7 here be pointless and unnecessary (it simply wouldn't exist in the first place to ban) I know of dozens of sites found elsewhere via Google that would have been shut down years or decades ago (so it's not like the gov't is unaware of them) . Right now the only grey area is realistic AI with lewded lolis, and even that can be found on some sites that don't mind possibly being the first test case, if the gov't wanted to bother (3+ years and they are still up). Not sure if you call real bestiality and incest "obscene" or not but Luxure.tv has been around on a rotating list of hosts for over a decade now. Apparently the gov't doesn't even give them priority (it's all real animals) so why should cartoon porn sites be worried? I'm just glad I'm not in a shithole like the UK, Australia, China, North Korea etc that worries about dumb shit like what cartoon characters are doing or tries to legally micromanage what types of kinks are allowed in porn. As everyone here is aware there's already enough of that bullshit to deal with just from payment processors.obscenity and chid porn do not have constitutional protection(first amendment), there are also federal and state laws that ban these types of porn, In america you first had the Hickins test(1868) to determine what was classed as obscenity, then you had the Roth test(1957), Now you use the miller test (1970's), So yes, some types of porn are illegal in the US, And i think you will find that rape falls under Obscenity in the USA, there are some exceptions.
The concept of rape has been addressed in various forms of legislation since the early days of civilization. The Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest sets of written laws(1750BCE) over 3700 years ago, considered the rape of a virgin as property damage against her father. In the 11th and 12th centuries, rape began to be viewed more as a violent sexual crime against the victim rather than a violation of social morality.
S if this Novel has rape scenes then more than likely it would be banned in the USA, And definitely would be banned here in the UK. since aN AVN can be classed as porn.
