Sensationalist media is sensationalist. I recommend reading the posts in this thread.
Link to CNN's Article(please use adblock, don't get these pathetic reporters money)

At the very least, be grateful they added this. I know a lot of olden men/women that literally have never heard of anime/manga. Imagine if this is the first time they read about it. Imagine what hell I would go through if I went and said "I like watching anime" to someone who only read this article, if that wasn't included. I'm talking about some amazing poetic and dramatic anime like Clannad, they'd assume that I'm talking about animated rape porn or something. Wish they would have expanded more on anime as a whole though.
But I need to be completely honest with you OP, there actually is pornographic material in some manga/anime/Doujins like CNN describes. There is truth to them saying such material exists, but they exaggerate and sensationalize it beyond belief. This is how the media works, regardless of platform. People won't read an article or watch your channel if its boring, so you try to make things sound as outrageous as possible. They appeal to the emotions to sway viewers that are less intelligent.
Now what they do wrong is how they interpret it. They compare it to REAL CP, in which there are actual people harmed. It's just a damn drawing. It's like crying over a batman movie because the joker was a terrorist or over GTA5 because it corrupts our youth's minds. They act like fictional content causes problems when they even cited a study that proves that it doesn't.
edit: OP, did you find this on forneverworlds youtube channe or /r/anime? lol

American movies have porns in them. Of course, not all. The same thing as anime. They have some of the bloodiest movies of them all, so does anime. No differences here except anime is drawn/animated, and movies have actors. They consider a lower haft of a manga chapter child pornography, when the movies in US show much more. Anime is simply art. They over exaggerate too much. I understand CNN's argument about child pornography is bad, I get it. But this just makes them a total **** to bash on all.
And yeah, I watch ForneverWorld's reviews.
Have you started watching the second season? It's pretty good as of for now.
SAO S1. idk what to say.
