Photography has long been an art and a skill which matures with time and experience, I don't see the problem with wanting to get noticed in fact given the crap job I have I am glad that my photography sets me apart in my daily life. The amount of cameras available to everyone these days us photographers have to lift are game to a new level in order to be set apart from the happy snapper. It sounds to me like you have a problem with enthusiasts wanting to get praise from their peers, Who Doesn't ? Thats the whole point of sites like this to gain approval for your art and to learn from others otherwise whats the point of the site in the first place.
Bottom line is child porn is not art and will never be perceived as such and I would probably be right in saying that anyone behind the camera of a questionable child image is most likely not thinking of the technical merits of the images they are taking. Which is why it annoys me that enthusiast photographers constantly have to defend themselves against accusations and need to second guess themselves, just in case they might get it wrong. It makes me sick that some ignorant scum low life can make comments about me without knowing me as I have pointed out elsewhere on this thread, and not because I am some sort of perv but because I own a camera.
