I’m going to get flamed here, but my personal thoughts are that if someone can get their rocks off looking at these cartoons of underage girls and it’s enough to satiate their desire that they don’t do it in real life, then I don’t mind it at all. Heck, I even strongly encourage it.
It’s a victimless crime. Just let them have it if it doesn’t hurt anyone.
But it cultivates the desire rather than addressing it. It’s complicated, but I think the danger from pulling more people in is much greater than the potential benefit of keeping hardened cases out of society.
You’re arguing that sexual orientation can be trained or influenced by our media, which is the exact argument that the Conservative right has been using to ban books (and everything else). It’s also an argument that has been proven groundless time and time again.

Edit: VICE did a great video about this. I encourage you guys to check it out. https://youtu.be/Ky3HqvT3M8E?si=RqYHZ5EfSN5M2liw
