Speaking as a faker who has run into this issue on sites in the past, MY EDUCATED GUESS is that it boils down to something like this:
1) Emma Watson is now an adult. But she was not always. She was once a child star.
2) There are many pictures of Emma Watson. Some of those pictures are of adult Emma Watson. Some of those pictures are of under-18 emma watson.
3) If you create a fake of Emma Watson using adult Emma Watson, then that's not a problem. But if you create a fake of Emma Watson using under-18 emma watson, that is a problem.
4) It is specifically a problem for people who own and operate websites that might host these fakes, because some fakers are idiots and will upload pictures of under-18 Emma Watson, which is not a legal thing to do.
5) What happens next is the owner of the website deletes or removes those images. Then the person who uploads them cries and says BUT EMMA WATSON IS AN ADULT WHY ARE YOU OPPRESSING ME when they know full well that the fake they uploaded was not of the adult emma watson.
6) Then the owner of the website deletes another image of this type and the uploader says SHE WASN'T UNDER 18. THIS IMAGE IS ACTUALLY FROM THE VERY DAY SHE TURNED 18. THE MODS ARE A JOKE.
7) At this point, if you are the admin of the website, and people are doing this constantly, you have to ask yourself: Do I really want to verify that the version of emma used in each and every uploaded fake is a legal emma? That sounds like a pain in the ass. If these people are going to not read the rules or just be constantly too stupid to understand why they can't upload those images, then I'm just not going to allow them to do that.
TLDR: Non-stop idiots ruin it for everyone. As is so often the case.
