The flag here for SaloOrThe120DaysOfSodom was sent with the rationale

I urge the TV Tropes moderators to block images of the film from being displayed. I don't know if you know this but the actors in the film are all minors in real life making such images child sexual exploitation material. Please remove the image, thank you.

So, this one seems to be more about the page image rather than the content.

I've never seen this movie, but can anybody confirm that the actors on the poster are underage?

Wikipedia lists bans for "obscenity" and "indecency", but not for child pornography, and Wikipedia's copy of the poster has been up for 14 years without controversy.

On the other hand, if IMDB is to be believed, at least two of the actors playing victims were under 18 (and at least two were over 18) when the film was made.

One thing to consider, "child pornography" as a legal concept is fairly narrowly defined. For one thing it does usually exclude text, and it also excludes non-explicit but still sexual depictions ("child erotica" is the neologism used).

Bumping this from the bottom. I note that Wikipedia runs the image of the poster and I wonder if this should be punted to Image Pickin'; ~Willbyr?

I also see that the flagging troper was banned this May for vandalism by ~MacronNotes (their name is in a hidden comment of the opening post here)

^^ Yeah they were banned for vandalism (possibly from a text replace plugin but that was unclear) That person never appealed their ban but they visited the site three days ago so I guess we can restore their posting privileges and ping them to see if they have anything to share.

^^Done

eta: Seems like pinging people works even if you hide the ping format beneath a comment.

The IP thread replaced the pic.

Seems like we can close this then.
