Well, that issue, and violent video games, movies, etc: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/52338/
Drawn/rendered art is quite different from photography in that the 'art' does not mean the event actually occurred, whereas a photograph is a representation of photons reflected from an actual event. Of course, it blurs a bit when Photoshop gets into the scene, but that's...well, I guess it's not really more complicated, just more difficult to determine the reality of the situation.
Have to admit, though, the angst this all has caused is...rather humorous. Stupid, yes, but humorous.
