Nothing will reify institutional ills more than the material institutions themselves. I think their are plenty of valid artistic reasons to depict Problematic Thing. To be the one screaming at a CSA victim making art of that experience is actually siding with the fash who want 0 discussion of the subject at all, for an example. This gets a little fraught with CP / "basically CP" (H loli/shota) where we do know the people making it do victimize real children. Maybe a different leftist has a more palatable answer for you? The guiding whatever, is what is material, not to jump immediately to depiction is endorsement but take whats material about said depiction in context. Something thats clearly not "this is bigotry and this sucks / this is a lived experience / this is an aspect of setting im exploring" and is instead encouraging people to perpetrate that (this tends to be rarified) like obviously warrants criticism. Theres a difference between love me for who i am or Okaeri Alice and idk, h-doujins general fuckery about gender. In the grand scheme of things something like this manga in particular has no bearing on the actual predation of children, whereas maybe something like the Rurouni Kenshin dude is more consequential.
