Oh lord. To me, that sounds like they are going after underage hentai, which is a can of worms I don't even want to think about.
I ran into the fringe of this in the SD community in 2022. There is a 4chan model, which I shall not name, that I vaguely suspect contained (real life) underage pictures in the dataset. This model was merged into at least two other popular models awhile ago, hence I think it has "polluted" many other SD 1.5 models down the merging family tree.
