Based on the info you've supplied, yes it's kiddie porn. I'm guessing that as no kids were (apparently) involved in making it, they consider it less evil than photos/films? My reaction would be that you can never be sure what was used as a model, but that the net effect is the same. How would they explain it to a cop? "It's is OK Officer, it's just a drawing?" Good luck with that.
I do think it's disingenuous not to acknowledge that kids and animals and non-con fail the reasonable person test when it comes to what is likely to be considered offensive. You can expect those things will upset people and I think it's courteous to provide a warning.
The other thing is, as I think we've discussed before, LJ users can be really clueless about what is actually illegal, especially illegal with serious consequences. Like that horse fucker over on polyamory at the moment.
Putting stuff that can get you arrested or fired (and it sounds like that drawing definitely fits that criteria) out into a space without a warning strikes me as not just offensive and rude, but stupid as well.
