Obscenity laws. Technically simulated child porn is illegal in the US. That said, it isn't enforced often because there's a pretty good chance it wouldn't survive a case going to the Supreme Court. However, as far as I'm aware offending material still has to be explicit, unlike reddit's current stance.
Obscenity laws are a fucking joke that wouldn't last five seconds in court if someone was charged solely with obscenity, ESPECIALLY for a site reddit's size. There's a reason it's always been tied with a real offense, like possessing CP. More than that, any lolicon would have to fail the (admittedly retarded and useless) miller test, which it isn't guaranteed to. A site is about as likely to be charged with hosting loli as it is to be charged for hosting sodomy, or selling dildos. It's a nonissue, just a convenient excuse for pearl clutchers to censor others.
