Even your linked articlevsays it is. You just cant make specific and clear threats that you have the ability to follow through on.

Then you weren’t reading clearly. Here’s another source directly from the US Courts:

Obscenities are not protected. Specific words are, the way that they’re used are not always.

One again, freedom of speech is not absolute. There are limitations.

If you still can’t figure it out from this, then there’s just no getting through to you at all. That’s nobody’s problem but your own.

Considering what is “obscene” changes in society over time, it could be argued, which is not protected.

I agree that there’s nothing wrong by the image and the child seemed to mean well, but if it is deemed obscene by society (and a court of law agrees), it is very much not protected.
