Pedos exist and will keep existing. Let them use cartoons and AI to take the steam off. It hurts no one and doesn't lead to action in real life. Does violent games lead to murder? Nope. This is no different. If you're against Loli, you might as well be against violent games too. Technically it's more degenerate to play a game where you kill very realistic people on repeat than jacking off to an unrealistic cartoon.
Also, art is an extension of your mind. Banning any type of art is very close to thought police 1984 bs. All thoughts should be permitted. Even the most vile trash that you can think of. What's not allowed is acts in the real world that break the social contract. Again, one doesn't lead to the other. Case in point, look at Japan, the cradle of degeneracy. It's more functional than any western country because the people there understand this principle but also respect the social contract.
*Citation needed. Because most studies state the exact opposite: Violent video games are negatively correlated with violent criminal actions, and while not as heavily researched, the general consensus is the same applies to most other urges, too.
Or in other words, if you could save a million children from harm, but have to admit you're wrong one single time, would you do it? Most politicians won't. It's one of those contrary things, like how increasing the added-penalty zone area around schools for drug crimes, increases the amount of drug crimes around schools. You'd think it would lower it, but no. And you could save lives and livelihoods by reducing the area around schools that are more heavily policed and penalized, but no politician in their right or left mind would ever advocate for LESS area on that regard, no matter the guaranteed, well-researched, well-established, proven good it would do.
Save living, real people, or protect the fictional CG ragdolls from video game violence? It's a tough choice for many, apparently even here.
There is no general consensus that engaging in deviant sexual arousal lowers offense rates. It's literally the fucking opposite. The people most likely to offend are those who experience arousal from their deviant paraphilia
