What she is requesting is sexual depictions of a minor. Depending on how it’s drawn that is probably illegal in the US.

She could request anything, but she requests a sexual depictions of a minor, even though she probably knows that it’s most likely illegal.

If it’s unethical, there’s room for argument I guess. But this goes further, and usually if something violates a law, in most cases we’re past the ethical debate and straight into criminal prosecution territory.

TL;DR there’s no other way to view this.
