I am not sweating this at all though, and here is an example why.

Assume photos that show people standing next to a bird are illegal.

If you were to take a photo of me standing next to a bird, that photo would contain a visual depiction of me standing next to a bird. Totally illegal.

But if you were to chop the photo afterwords so that it's just me, is it still a visual depiction of me standing next to a bird? No, because you can not have a visual depiction of something YOU CANT SEE in the photo.

To me this is all just common sense.
Bad argument. Then would the thumbnail actually lead to a full-size pic that includes the bird? Under your argument all the thumbnails cropped to not show sexual action would have to be going to go to full-size pics not showing sexual action.
